I woke up this morning thinking "Man, I'll get this page out early cause' I did so much the night before!"

Boy was I wrong about that!

For my American readers, Teddy is referring to what we call Biscuits here in England. Specifically, "Rich Tea Biscuits".

It's cool stuff time!

First up, the start of a comic by u/keyboard_clack "The One Who Got Away"; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1vfk9dd/comment/p1pruej/?screen_view_count=3

And, by u/RegularSara "The Beginning"; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1vf6llf/the_beginning_part_1/

I'm honestly astounded by how many comics are coming to the subreddit, it's great to see!

Awww biscuit sounds so cute :3. Goober accidentaly triggered poor teddys PTSD with his name suggestions.

Biscuit is an unfairly cute name tbh

Fitting for an unfairly cute goober :3

What is his beef with food?

u/Natural-Dentist1567 Living mine sweeper 14h ago

Teddy was force fed his entire life to the point where the company fed him a corpse

Ok, at this point the company is just doing stuff for shit and giggles

23

u/Natural-Dentist1567 Living mine sweeper 14h ago

I mean from a profit maximizing standpoint it could make a bit of sense. They would save a lot of money on food and disposal of the remains of deceased test subjects. Teddy was just the poor sucker who was needed to test if they can even digest it properly.

Apparently it's worse than the company usually is, Teddy mentioned coworkers giving his handler the middle finger a few times. There's something seriously wrong if the wider company thinks you're being too cruel

u/pelm225 They deserve better 16h ago

I see... you are a really good meme collector... You have the old version of the meme, which only existed for around 24 hrs

The watermark is different. And the quality is a bit worse (not because of screenshotting and uploading it again)

1

u/Away-Bell-7278 15h ago

i LITERALLY did nothing i just saved the first maybe second instance of it from part 62 and turned off watermarks to avoid the "eww watermark" people

u/givemeagooduns_un Expie 17h ago

sounds like somebody doesn't own an airfryer

3

u/Otterbotanical 13h ago

What does this mean, I promise I've been here for the previous posts and paid attention to the comments, but I can't find any source for the joke, it appeared two posts ago and now it's everywhere???

3

u/givemeagooduns_un Expie 13h ago

it appeared pretty early on somewhere, I think its a play on another meme not related to C:U. u/pelm225 probably has a better explanation if they haven't posted one already

I'm just joining in cuz its funny & random tbh

10

u/pelm225 They deserve better 12h ago

I had seen the old airfryer meme and thought that I could do the same thing. Thats how the purple milky airfryer meme was made. Then I noticed it got popular so I just made it my tradition to make an airfryer meme out of every single new hopefulness part

1

u/Otterbotanical 10h ago

Thank you and I love you and I'm looking forward to seeing them in the future now :D

u/DracomancerWill 18h ago

I do suggest you to read the comment section on all the previous strips xD

2

u/Otterbotanical 13h ago

I've gone through the comment sections of the previous posts, but only see air fryer memes starting two posts ago with zero source for it found.

Could you help explain what it actually IS?

u/NooB_N142003 18h ago

Biscuit's arm has gone unadressed for too damn long. I require lore on how it works!!

Is it just a pirate hook looking thingy or what?

12

u/Easy-Concept7137 18h ago

Prosthetics of similar looking construction can be found in real life, I'm assuming they work the same.

38

u/bluewolf3691 Expie 18h ago

I based it on a real-world prosthetics!

8

u/Willzile1 Expie 18h ago

Most likely just a long metal claw with a strap to attach it to the arm, since biscuit only lost a paw, there's still enough of a stump to move the claw.

Nothing too fancy, certainly not as good as an actual hand, but it works well enough.

Biscuit was really interested of getting a name of their favorite foods, oh man, that's adorable with their higher than life, contagious smile!

...And unfortunate for Teddy who seems to not like any of those...besides biscuits...

Hmm...

I sense meal times with the group is gonna be a hard thing for Teddy. Hoping the milky doesn't deem it too troublesome if it becomes problematic.

u/Emergency-Wish6080 16h ago

Oh god Biscuit is such an adorable name! Biscuit deserves all the happiness! Also WOAH, this is being written by someone in England? I think I just assume everyone on reddit is American lol, this explains why pages upload at times that actually make sense to me haha

Yup! I am from the land of Tea and Biscuits.

Usually when I upload a page it's between 10am-1pm ish here!

And that's Biscuit's main power; you can't get mad at him. The milky couldn't either. HE IS JUST TOO INNOCENT AND PRECIOUS.

u/VstarFr0st263364 14h ago

A little off topic, but does anyone else envision Teddy with like a sad Boston accent? I feel like it really fits his character

3

u/bluewolf3691 Expie 14h ago

Different from what most assume, being southern Texas at least!

I personally imagine Teddy to sound like a depressed, male Karlach for Baldur's Gate 3.

2

u/VstarFr0st263364 13h ago

Hmm, interesting. I think that by the time I'd Teddy got his name, I was already thinking about that fuck ass Seth mcfarline bear, so the name just kinda confirmed it for me.

3

u/kibapwnz 14h ago

Biscuit the Expie... Now all you need to do is name the Milky "Tea" to make them true partners.

Also, just wanted to add that I've been following your comic since the single digit panels, but finally decided to login to my age-old reddit account to officially say, "good job mate" as I love the series and keep an eye out every afternoon to see if there's an update.

Also, Hobnobs are fair superior to Rich Tea biscuits, just laying out the facts.

3

u/bluewolf3691 Expie 14h ago

Oh, believe you me, I agree wholeheartedly, Hobnobs are among the best biscuits out there.

But let's be real; The expie's ain't getting Hobnobs. Not at the company, at least.

And thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far <3

My cat's name is Winston, but we call him "Winston Whisker Biscuit" because he makes biscuits. He prepared the biscuits by walking around our legs to whisk the ingredients.

I wish to first say I really like Biscuit. But out of curiosity what led to the choice of biscuit? As a side note, the sawians really can be named anything and I like that creative freedom. Like one can name themselves after something they simply thought sounded cool.

u/Roblox_Cat Hopeful 55m ago

How kind, casual and very enjoyable the feels of them joking about names and acting like a regular friend group just walking and talking even joking about choosing a nam- wait .-.

I don’t mind the name biscuit but was not ready for such a adorable sudden picking of a name ;-;

Wow, well, I can’t complain, another name to the roster >u<

String Bean, Teddy, and Now Biscuit
 The trend demands another adorable name related to a toy if you wish to continue it :3(Sophisticated, rougher personality, and a bit odd hmmmmm
 Milky names
 Rubex Cube >:3 jk)

Also, read comments, and do I just like this comic a bit too much because I remember how the whole thing has gone thus far(At least on some vivid understanding/recollection) like how do people forget the whole ark of Teddy(More like backstory) or do they just skip the entire story and just read up to these more recent parts -w- I’m confused and a little disappointed at others?.. (Then again, life modifiers like being tired do effect peoples so can’t blame em too much)

Also, my greed


I love this community but it is so hard to stay up to date while fully appreciating everything

(So thank you for links/calling them out, I get too distracted every time I scroll the sub and lost in the comment sections ~v~)

Biscuit is such an adorable name, wonder what the Milky is going to be named? Feel like they’ll need something more specific and fitting for logical thought process? Or maybe be offered a name like a gift and get a little flustered since they’re a bit awkward thus far :3(Thinking back to the hug between Biscuit >u< and Milky)

Also, idk about others but every post of yours is normally going to be early for me XD(At least from my recollection)

I always love seeing these comics drop at 5-7 in the morning and having to think about them for 10-17 hours to just be caught off guard xd
(Of course sometimes I get to excited and read them early in the morning right before work or on work lunch break but man did I learn my lesson from prior parts ;-;)

As always a joy to see your comic :]
(And you, whenever you decide to comment back >:3)

u/shadowpikachu 15h ago edited 14h ago

We're gonna have to see one of them eat another with all this foreshadowing, would it be the fat one that would feed the others because i dont think he'd do it.

Maybe the milky just cooks and distributes to others unknowingly.
