All right, looks like everything’s up and working! I’ve been sitting on this site redesign too long, and just needed a couple days to get everything remade. And in a strange bit of good (?) timing, my Wacom tablet died a few days ago, which I assumed was the universe’s way of telling me to get off my ass and update the site already. Thankfully Wacom made a speedy repair and delivery back, so I’ve already sketched up the first few panels of the next OOPs page.
And a special shoutout to Xandispin, who first suggested a site update several months ago, then set up this snazzy new WordPress layout for me to customize (which I then sat on until this past week). Thanks man; it took me long enough to get around to it, but without you the site would still be looking like something from the early 2000’s!
Seriously, I was manually creating pages and re-entering every altered link when there was a new page, using a long-defunct version of Dreamweaver 2001. That gets tiring real quick.
Anyway! There’s some new stuff in the Art & Extras section now as well, which you might not have seen if you don’t frequent Deviantart and such.
Golly, is Kass gonna hold it together for this one?
There’s visible effort being made, so I wonder what the reaction will be.
Seems Kass is pretty successfully countering all of the yinglet instincts. Freaking out, yes, but I don’t think they’ll run.
I see that their first impression is flawless. And here I thought there will be any complications. Heh.
baxxid is embarrassed, taps the floor, whole building tumbles down
So this is why baxxid and yinglet don’t mix.
In Kass’s heart are two yinglets. Neither of them wants to be fed to the wolves. The one that wins … no wait, that’s now how it goes.
*not how it goes! 😅
I did not notice that until you pointed it out XD
not to worry, I make that mistake all the time. for some reason, now and not are very easy to mix up when you’re not paying full attention to what you’re typing.
Things were certainly fine until that grovelling bow. I have a feeling Kass is (eventually) going to tell Kalgkur not to bow like that ever again, lol
It really is a big difference in size.
He’d fit wholly inside bro’s head.
Is what I’ve been saying all along, Baxxid are terrifying to be close to, zhough dey are actually kind of nice for terrifying killing machines.
You get used to them when you live in the same city as them.
It would be best for everyones wellbeing if you don’t mention how ample Kass’ progeny feeding-gland’s are.
“yeah! it didn’t fully bitchificate me!”
For what it’s worth (I don’t know if the author reads these comments any more), this is a delightful page to look at. The body language in this comic has always been dynamic and entertaining, and the hands and feet, things notoriously difficult to draw, have always been drawn well, but for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, this page stands out. Maybe it’s just in my head, but whatever it is, it works!
Kass is running a wide range of emotional responses here, all intense and highly animated, and this looks like one of the most clearly detailed pages yet, because the art has been improving so much over time.
“Pweh” is the perfect reaction. So says me.
For people’s reference, the last time Kalgkur interacted with Yinglets…

Do you think that Kalgkur is meant to be Kass’s new bodyguard?
That’s definitely what I think.
