OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
I think kass had a bit of a “processing error” there.
I think it’s called dysphoria, at least in this case.
So Lopin got avenged after all xD
Caption for last Panel..GO! (And Happy Halloween :3 )
Okay, Okay, none of you took ze bait, so let me add one or two.
#1 caption: Kass in zhat moment, realized de odd looks and distance ozher Ivemmozhs had in regards to her were not due to her sex, nor due to her being a yinglet. Kass in zhat very moment knew de reason was dat she had been labeled a asshole officer, just like de ozher bastards she had once had served under.
#2 I SWEAR ZHAT DAT WAS A ACCIDENT…and I will clean it up, sorry for de smell.
#3 Grandma Akoll! Oh Shit! Grandma Akoll! Um I can explain everyzhing…including why your grandson is now a fuzzy female.
#4 YANNIT NO! I do NOT want you to rip her arms off, so put her down…slowly.
And before any of you wonder, for #3, yes it is likely de same character as apeared in https://www.valsalia.com/comic/out-of-placers/oop005/ zhough recently a little less bent over from old age, and wizh a different hairdo, and a quite a bit more upset. So feel free to speculate for yourzelves.
Personally think that panel 4 is a much more interesting pose. Very “I am all betrayeded”
And in this situation, Kass has no idea what to say … just like Gramma planned it.
lol kass is 100% yinglet here.
Kass.exe has stopped responding. Brain will stop the program and notify you if a solution is available.
No no stupid mean old lady it was ze matriarch no ze kass!
Except it totally was Kass.

I’d add: https://www.valsalia.com/comic/out-of-placers/oops-36/
https://www.valsalia.com/comic/out-of-placers/oops-46/
Zat was too long ago, I zink it was ze matriarch zat kass is being punished for.
It wasn’t THAT long ago in-comic, and humans have better memory than yinglets.
That may be true, but it still doesn’t compare to this: https://www.valsalia.com/comic/out-of-placers/oops-184/
Be sure you read the -next- page too! 🙂
It’s not about who hurt Lopin more. The seamstresses aren’t omniscent, they only know what Lopin’s told them. We know for a fact that Lopin’s told them about Kass; however, after the incident with the Matriarch, Lopin has been a bit too occupied with Patriarch Beizel to go complaining. Possibly still occupied at the time of this page, too, for all we know. Definitely won’t still feel like crying and complaining afterwards, either.
Also, Lopin would’ve referred to Vizlet as “Matriarch Vizlet”, not “Lady”. The seamstresses know Lopin’s offender to be “a yinglet lady”, not “the Matriarch” – which is proof positive this is about Kass.
Kass did say she was going to grill Lopin, so zhat was so, so terrible. She also made him walk to de Ivenmozz after he got beaten up. It was later zhat Lopin gave Kass clams, and dis made everyzhing better.
How dare anyone make Lopin cry.
How dare Lopin not tell za Matriarch about za zat zing!
How dare Lopin sell zat zing to Kass, betraying his enclave for a couple copper coins.
How dare Lopin steal my shield beetle purple Make up!
How dare he interrupt za Matriarch’s official visit to great hero Elim!
How DARE LOPIN!
No, that was the Matriarch, she is innocent, shame on you! Still though, its surprising she hasn’t since Lopin is the one who turned her into a yinglet, albeit accidentally.
Kass totally has.

But you….how dare….you can’t just…. what??!
Bapped for a crime you didn’t commit.
Except Kass totally did.

Lady, did you just assault your superior officer?
She is an elderly grandmother type.
There are no officers superior to that.
It’s in the book.
*WHEGHS IN CONFUSSED MANNER*
I get the feeling that old lady would shame the Trademaster himself if she had cause to.
Surprisingly, I can actually imagine him accepting it.
That last panel:
-Excuse me what did you just do to me
-I don’t even know/remember what you’re talking about
-Oh wait I think I do
-You don’t understand, you couldn’t possibly understand there is SO MUCH
-This is a thing I’m not allowed to talk about…on SO many levels
-Why are you punishing ME for this
-Given everything that’s happened I honestly don’t know whether I’m even still mad at him about it any more
Yeah, there so many things to say, from a general “WTH!?” to all the things you listed, and they’re all competing for processing time, all very suddenly, on a processor that’s already very busy with something else. It’s enough to lock up the whole system. If there were any caption at all in the last panel, it wouldn’t be anything resembling actual words. The series of physical responses are perfect as they are. Once Kass’s brain reboots and comes online again, it should probably have “Where is Lopin anyway?” in its list of run-on-startup programs.
I feel za same way Kass…
I woulda bit her so mean hyoomin!
Really? For a bap with a rolled up “newspaper?” Even as a Yinglet, Kass is more intelligent than any dog! 😉 🙂
You confuse civility for intelligence. I read lotsa books. But still za bite of a yinglet lady is a much under-estimated weapon zat is always available.
Somezhing dat has been forgotten is de “Yinglet Cry” dat turns yings into feral mode. I am not sure what would cause So So Smart Lady Kass to use a distress call when she did not do so when abducted, but sooner or later…
You don’t bite someone just for a measly bap-on-the-head with the equivalent of a rolled up newspaper. Yinglets may be low on the intelligence totem-pole, but they’re still smarter than dogs. Kass is doubly so.
Looking at Kass’s eyes, I’m beginning to wonder, how good is yinglet night vision? I’ve looked though a few strips and their pupils never seem more the thin lines, even when it’s dark. Most real life animals with slit pupils are only in that shape in higher light levels, having rounder pupils in low light.
We do have Irises zhat get bigger, it is just the boss’s style here. check out “Learn to Live” if you want to see a Yinglet’s eyes at nighttime.

I hate to ask a stupid question, but does this comic go on ‘hiatus’ during the holidays?
Boss’s ozher comic got dis one’s a hiccup for in seeming like Val’s taken a break. Lusty Argonian Maid’d got a new comic instead of OOP, so we have to wait for a bit as de boss has yet to outsource drawing to us Yinglets, who have 4 hands compared to most humani’s 2. But no worries, de boss will get going long enouzh to put somezhing down resembling Kassen, Elim, or even De Trademaster himself soon enouzh.
That explains it. I certainly don’t want anybody to be outsourced, so I’ll just have to keep watching for the next page to appear. Speaking of the Trademaster, I expect he’ll be making an appearance soon. Vizlet’s reason for meeting him has yet to be explained, but I suspect it’s likely to thicken the plot, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for “our heroes.”
Iirc Yinglets have less flexible hands than humans. That would mean they’d be less good at art.
We make up for the lack of arm flexibility with enthusiasm! Also wrists are wrists, Kass seems to write just fine, once she got used to fewer fingers, and the paw pads being an obstacle to holding a pen. Kassen is supposed to have drawn the artwork in her reports so far, after all.
Yeah, Kass’s drawings are pretty good, I have to admit! And while Lippie is a prodigy, it’s still worth remembering she’s pretty good at various stuffs, too.
Hey boss..might offer to host Karentina’s and Umbrasythe’s work on this site, I’m not allowed anymore to read OOP, Learn to Live, or Lusty Argonian Maid’d on Deviantart anymore, as some AI bot flagged the crap out of everyzhing. Just a thought.
Welcome to the “Can’t read on DA” club! No deviations load for me, because I’m Russian. They’d load if I use VPN, but that’s a pain in the neck.
Yay! It’s a club dat everyone can join! Free clams for de first 20 yinglets?
They got like, half of Learn to Live, too. And yet not the recent page with a panel where there’s nominally something going on. It’s bizarre.
I follow ozher comics, and some like the Auzhor of Caelum Sky just told DA adios, because of how DA’s bot is handling/flagging zheir strip.
