ok, that’s kinda weird… so he doesn’t want the poopie but is mad someone took it? Is it because the poopie was chosen over him or other fluffy and hurts his pride or because he actually wanted her to die?

Hrrrrrmmm… Smarty looks like he was an early model of grunty… Battlescars an all… Found it cheaper and easier to maintain if they were lobotomize and reprogram them to current model… Maybe A 0.0.25 model? Before the explosive charges when we yelled and smacked them with a stick before rewiring…

I don’t think so. He did seem sad to lose her. It’s possible that the rest of the herd didn’t like her, so he chose to try and give her a better life. Maybe they chose to give up on one foal to feed the others. He just doesn’t look like a bad smarty to me. Too scarred, too experienced. Too thoughtful-looking.

The foal was his–he slips up in a previous panel and calls it “smarty” babbeh before changing it to “poopeh” baby. (Also, the other foal calls him daddy and the sick foal sissy.)

The foal was sickly and the herd couldn’t afford to waste food. But he couldn’t bring himself to just kill her. So he got the human to take her, so maybe she’d at least get some food before she dies. The human gives him food in return, which his herd desperately needs–but it makes him feel like he sold his foal. Hence his brief struggle with himself before taking the food.

A terrible choice, but one that many feral herds face–this smarty handled it about as well as could be, many smarties would have killed someone else’s foal instead.

This is some masterful sadbox.

Honestly I’m a little confused, why is the smarty upset for the trade he did? They don’t like or care a lot about the “poopie babbeh(s)”.
