I just discovered this webcomic today, and now I’m all caught up …
Well, thanks for the wonderful tale so far, and I’m looking forward to the rest!
You literally owe himer your life, kid.
HORK
It would be ironic if the smart yinglings were the ones who couldn’t get out of their eggs without aid.
I suspect that a dis-proportionally large amount of female yinglets fail to get out of the egg due to the fact they they have a less pronounced shell-tooth than their male counterparts. They may have evolved like that because tooth size is not relevant to a female yinglet’s survival in their current society.
Females shave down their shelltooth. Vizlet mentions this upon first seeing Kass, and Kass gets hers shaved down in the ensuing makeover.
well, they do shave down their shellteeth but kass never got hir’s done. Viz mentions that she wishes she had time to.
Kass’s tooth is still large for a female’s. Never got around to doing that particular job, I guess.
Just wait until Kass internalizes yinglet gender norms enough to realize he can reclaim at least a tattered rag of his masculinity by ‘crossdressing’. Keep his shell-tooth long, shave his tail poof off, carry a dagger on his belt, fight like a cornered rat(bird) against efforts to slap on makeup again, etc. Belch, scratch, leer. Hell, go hunting with Kattajack.
Hate to be that guy, but vizlet’s earrings aren’t there anymore by the way. I mean, they disappeared in the page break lol. Not that it matters, just thought you might want to know.
I imagine she takes them off for fear of the little ones pulling on them.
It’s awfully convenient that Vizlet had to leave Kass there alone right after discussing the unhatched egg’s fate…
More?
a) Kass lies in the street post-transform, despairing, and when asked if he wants Elim to carry him, pathetically holds up his arms and legs and says ‘mmmweh’.
b) Kass is severely sleep deprived, Lopin just learned what Zhat Zhing did, everyone is arguing, he goes ‘mmmmweh’ and passes out on the floor.
c) We’ve seen two younglets hatch now and the first thing both of them do is go mmmweh.
Kass has been making baby noises without realizing. Kinda want to see his expression when he realizes that.
Oh my god!
I had to go back and check for myself and you are spot on…… When/if this is paction is going ointed out to Kass his reto be priceless
Holy hell i think my keyboard is possessed
*When/if this is pointed out to Kass his reaction is going to be priceless
The yinglet equivalent to a C-section?
Will this new younglet finally break the back of the enclave’s resources?
Will Poak be willing to tighten his belt, in sacrifice, to make sure all the new mouths have enough food to be fed?
Will Kass regret his decision when the life he saved comes knocking at his door demanding child-support?
Next time! On Out of Placers Z!
Holy Hell!
I almost dropped my beer and drove off the road when I read that!!
Just to funny.
Just joking about the driving thing. I’m really a pilot.
When I read Lug nuts post. Just to clarify.
Can’t help but notice: There’s no fur on that baby. Vizlet was probably right.
Also, its tooth is too small. Viz will probably put 2 and 2 together… though she might play along, to try and pull some motherly feelings from kass
Going to second that its a female, and that this is possibly why females are so rare.
my 2018, rereading everything it feels like this came out just several months ago. not in the before times….
But then again, look at the numbers. there’s almost 3 times as many pages now…
