It doesn’t matter how cold and slimy it is; if your species evolved on a highly specialized diet of mollusks and shellfish, your brain is going to release a lot of endorphins when you put some in your mouth. As far as you’re concerned, cold and slimy and bitter is just wonderful!
Perfectly natural.
So I take it this means Kass is going to start loving raw oysters, and mollusks in general.
In a few days she will probably be fighting the other girls over mollusks.
Love your work.
She has, for a few days now! She just didn’t know it until now.
Now i am wondering about mating habit’s……this will never be discussed in comic or here 80 percent likely but it will be pondered.
AREN’T WE ALL
…And that sill leaves a 20% chance!
Ah ha, the tongue bristles explained.
What better way to learn than trying it oneself?
Ah, I’ve tried fresh oysters before. It was different, like a gritty salty wad of chewing gum. But Yinglets are silly little critters I can see how it might be to their liking. Interesting to see a demonstration of the Yinglet’s natural feeding habits and that shell tooth in action. With each new page a new bit of information is revealed to us. and in a natural feeling way for it to be introduced rather than just being thrown for the sake of the readers. Indeed a bristled tongue would be good for getting a hold of those slippery mollusks. Are the bristles like the rough tongue of a feline or are they more like actual hardened barbs? Also I am curious about Yinglet naming doctrine, do they take names that descriptive like a Yinglet named Zippy would be energetic, and Sparky would be fire obsessed? Or do they just mash words together that they think sounds cool?
You’ve really created something special with this world and these adorable little ratbirds. I find myself becoming obsessed myself with them, and checking back daily to see anything new had been added.
All right! I’m really glad that people are finding something to like in these little jerks.
Also, they don’t even chew most of their food; they just gulp it down, like many lizards/birds!
As someone who adores oysters, I find it odd to think that someone experienced them like chewing gum. There’s nothing to chew, one bite and they’re smashed. Which makes sense, as the yinglets don’t chew. They are slightly salty, and delicious, but not the sort of food you’re meant to have in your mouth for long, even if you aren’t a yinglet!
Ahh…! I need more! ;~;
Goood, goood! The addiction has begun to set in…
You monster! D<
I love the little “ding” when she gulped it down. “Seving #486” Ding!
I don’t see why this isn’t implemented in restaurants so that the staff can keep track of how much of the meal had been eaten.
Yes, I find this narrative to be more interesting than most, please replenish it before I end the world. That would be good. Thanx and damn good work !
Hey, thanks a lot! And don’t worry; the story’s only still just getting started!
Unlike the raw oyster here, I’m talking about food that was cooked, but I had a similar reaction the first time I tried escargot. Everything in my logical mind was screaming at me that something like that shouldn’t have been edible, but it just tasted so dang good.
I used to eat all kinds of these things. Raw oysters included.
Granted, I lived in Louisiana at the time and on the bayou you eat anything that comes out of the water. Oysters on ice were a restaurant staple there too.
That said, if you ever get the chance to do so, eat gator un-breaded.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ah, species dysmorphia with a side of gender dysphoria.
Poor little guy.
Mother figure has been claimed
Aha! I guessed what the spine-tongue was for when it was mentioned the first time.
Well… with a little lemon, oyster, snails and sea urchins are actually quite good even when raw.
Though I must admit they do have a very peculiar taste, so maybe it’s an acquired taste.
Okay, next to Schlock’s Mercenaries this is my favorite webcomic. Likeable, and hateable, characters with enough ‘technical details’ thrown in to make suspending disbelief easy and fun. Yeah, I like the ledger entries you insert. Thank you.
-_- I actually like raw oysters. Or baked oysters. Or boiled oysters. Or any sort of mollusk.
Ha! The enclave’s attempt to sneakily see what people do online has failed at being unnoticed!
