OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
I suppose with how rarely yinglet females are seen among the general populace, the sexual dimorphism of the tail floof isn’t widely known… especially when so many male yinglets go out of their way to appear more female like Lopin.
It also raises the question of how Baxid eyes actually see the world, considering we saw in the previous page he has been shown an illustration of a dark brown yinglet with black hair and a red uniform, aside from the tail fluff, and he is mistaking a completely different yinglet for the person he’s been shown: cream colored with blonde hair and a white sailor uniform.
This isn’t even a “dogs of the same breed look the same to me” situation, these are two completely different yinglets.
Or it could be as simple as he’s so out of his element that he isn’t thinking straight and just asked literally the first Yinglet he saw, without a moment of critical thought.
I feel like a Baxxid saying “uhh” is a bit, unfitting. It’s an idle noise that probably wouldn’t make sense for their method of vocalisation. For them it would probably be more of that rumbling that they begin sentences with.
I like to think the “uhh” is intentionally chosen as an “expression of slight confusion”, since Baxxid are highly logical and had to learn the whole vocalization stuff of the language. ^^
Well you must remember that many baxxids go through a lot of effort to assimilate human culture and mannerisms. Mimicking human idle noises is hardly the most extreme thing they do to fit in.
Oh for goodness’ sake, Lopin…
Oh cool, the comic is updating and the plot is progressing.
yee!!!
Panel 6 made me wheeze with laughter! Part of me wants Kass to stand there for a while in stunned silence so we can see how far Lopin is willing to go with this. Part of me wants Kass to walk up quietly behind Lopin for a jump scare, and then make him squirm with threats of punishment for impersonating an officer. Either way, Kalgkur is about to be extremely embarrassed by this awkward first impression he’s making.
