OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
If Kalkgur fits amongs them, so would Isher. Don’t worry, Kass is here to make sure everyone is happy!
There’s always a bigger, sharper fish.
Also GOOD GOD MAN YOU CAN”T KEEP ME WAITING THIS LONG I NEEDS THE PRECIOUS!
“I don’t quite fit in because I’m too big. Oh, who’s this? …”
I don’t recall, have we ever seen a full-blooded member of the race Isher is a hybrid of?
I’m pretty sure we have… -wink wink-
Wut? Where?
I’m pretty confident we’ve never seen one in regular pages, and I just looked through all the like, “journal” type pages, and none of them included a picture of one.
it’s never been explicitly explained, that is true… but if you look at her features closely, it’s very easy to get the just of what her second parent COULD be.
I’m not the first to say it, but it’s possible that, in thory, Isher is half… BAXXID.
god do I wish you could edit posts -_-;
but while I’m making a second post, it could also explain why Isher is also very shy, especially around the idea of being violent.
I can see how a person might guess that Isher’s non-human half is baxxid, but the inner monologue on this page, where she thinks about how she was bullied for being half-human and small, and how she had to move away from where she grew up to live among humans, leads me to think she’s not half-baxxid. I’d doubt it anyway because the two species are so far apart taxonomically, but with the super-science of “That Thing,” I wasn’t ruling it out. Now with this page, I think it’s nearly certain that her non-human half is a species we haven’t encountered yet. And I bet the author is having way too much fun holding onto that secret.
Yeah her being half-baxxid is a really stupid theory.
The “being bullied” part, I’ll admit, does make a good counterpoint against her being half-baxxid, and her ears are certainly peculiar. But at the same time, I wouldn’t fully rule it out either. a lot of her design, from under her tail, to the long spikes on her head, thumbs and toes… if she’s not half-baxxid, then whatever species she’s based on might not be too far from that lineage.
Or they could just be big spikey kangaroos.
careful, the implications of that means you now have to read everyone’s voices in Australian XD
I took have zhought about dis, especially seeing de chance dat Isher is currently possibly pregnant. For her being half Baxxid, her size, coloration , and scales do match for a connection zhere, or to a yet to be introduced species related to zhem. Against is zhat Isher came from elsewhere, and most Baxxid live in or around Ivemozh territory.
So I’d say it is likely zhat Isher is half of somezhing we haven’t been introduced to as of yet. It is a big world, and we have seen precious little of it so far in zhis comic.
That’s the first I’ve seen that theory. And while I could see how some people might think that, I really, really doubt it.
I dunno… looks more like a dragon to me. Those scales and toe-claws – and that tail?
Wow. This gives a good perspective on how big the baxxid are. I wasn’t expecting Isher to be intimidated like that. I suspect Isher wasn’t either. (:
…and he’s still doing it! Your moment to not judge people by their appearance, Isher!
