That guy on panel one is fine, he was just picking mudweed bulbs but then he felt the sea calling him so he just laid back and let the current take him
Raptie does character colors and shading!

OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
And now we have the moon… and the sound of a yinglet squealing as his tail is pulled.
They go together!
Would a “when the moon hits your eye” joke be too nsfw for the comments?
You’ll poke your eye out, kid!
But, do the Yinglets know what a pizza pie is?
when the moon hits your big pizza pie like an eye that’s amoreeeee~
when you dance down the street like you’ve had too much  feet you’re in looooove~
Honestly wondering how the Yinglets survived long enough to evolve to their current status and not just die off to something more clever than a bear trap with shiny things inside.
And Chakki vs. Lopin for best trap Yinglet when?
Chakki is more feminie, Lopin is more cute.
“best trap” is up to taste, i’d say.
^_^
I’d give it to Chakki. Lopin is just a femboy.
Yeah lopin enjoys dressing up but chakki is alot more feminine and the sort youd probably never guess was male
With overwhelming numbers!
Lopin’s way cuter, no contest, even with Chakki’s squeal.
I cringe when someone uses the word “trap” to describe someone. It’s pretty transphobic.
I think I would be willing to commit horrible crimes, crimes of, you might say, passion is an appropriate word here, if by doing so it would be convincing to bring about the creation of a scene, spun from the ether of the heavens, Chakki and Lopin competing to give tips on how to CONDUCT oneself to be more appealing to the male eye. Perhaps to a large, sweet somebody with giant useful thumbclaws this would be a useful lesson.
Yes, those two would have a lot to talk about.
Awwwww i can just imagine what that cute little squeal sounds like. =^-^=
Figgins is such a role model in all this. And what diligent hard workers the others are!
They are doing their best!
Here’s where I note that the whole of Chakki’s outfit seems to match the light blue of the carnal-beckoning weed… and even has a floral theme. On purpose, perhaps? 😉
That boy is basically a walking advertisement
Ooh, and on second glance I see he has the same purple eyeshadow – has he perhaps learned the beetle-butt trick from Lopin, figured it out for himself, or perhaps was he the one who taught lopin? Inquiring minds want to know! 😀
Also I love how patriarch Figgins is utterly okay with Chakki being bent over mid-conversation right in front of him. I’d say it’s just normal and unremarkable for yinglets, yet Chakki does such a /convincing/ job of seeming embarrassed by it…
“I feel zhe call of the depzhs…gone I am, my brothers!”
Have you ever spent a day swimming at the beach, then when you come home and sleep that night, you feel something like the reverberations of the water’s wave motions as you fall asleep?
It’s gotta feel like that
Oh, totally!…
…
…that or seafood poisoning
Chakki might be a slut but he’s a skillful slut, and apparently not just in bed.
Like that character from Oliver, the Skillful Slutter
Did something happen to Patriarch Figgins tail? It seems to have had been shortened in the first frame. And the shadow cast says it wasn’t a artwork mistake. Be interesting if Figgins can’t run or walks in a awkward gait to compensate for the lack of a balancing tail.
Figgins has no tail. Been true since he was introduced.
I’ll agree that it looks shorter now than his first appearance, but I think it was just Val’s style getting more refined.
chakki has a tail poof? Is that the first boy we’ve seen with one?
I noticed that too. However it doesn’t look the same as a female tail tuft. It sort of looks like the fur on the end of his tail is just shaggier. That or he does something to make it look that way. Though also, from one of the field guides we have seen a male with an extremely long poofy tail.
Perhaps Chakki has a poodle cut. Judging from that magnificent mane he has, it would be easy to see him having a shaggy tail before getting trimmed.
We’ve already seen males with tail floof – look up Archetypes in Val’s FA (he sadly stopped posting any additional materials on the site we’re currently on).
I feel like in the 4th panel there should he ‘swish’ written by that movement line (not sure the proper term for it)
I find him a little confusing with his furry tail makes him look a bit feminine
He’s supposed to look feminine. That’s his thing. He’s gone out of his way to be as feminine as possible.
The key to plowing is being plowed by farmers.
Not exactly a lesson they teach you at 4 H…
Really? That lesson 1 at my 4H.
I love the rare irises on that black and white yinglet.
Interesting female.
Waitasec: only female yinglets are supposed to have tail tufts, but Chakki is male (albeit VERY feminine).
Wouldn’t that tail tug classify as inappropriate touching? I mean, I’d be pretty shocked if some rando touched my ass, for example.
