Seems Lopin might be swooning a bit at being picked up like that. Also that excitable little tyke in the last panel is cute! I’m glad I found this comic.
“Swoon” is probably the best word for this response, yes.
And seriously, go to a frat party and there’s a crowd full of guys just waiting for an excuse to loudly cheer something on. Same thing!
Also, the last panel… I hear the MGSV helicopter call music.
Cheerleader younglet clearly has a future ahead of him. That’s quite some talent from an early age.
…yinglets with pom-poms? They’d probably get distracted halfway through the cheer, though. One would try to eat their pom-pom, and another would wear it as a hat.
I’d probably find yinglet cheer squads more interesting than any actual sport at that rate. So far though, i find general yinglet shenanigans entertaining.
Even their squeaky high pitched voice make me giggle a bit.
…i…
confess i am easily amused.
Are… Are you a yinglet?
With merely the fortune or misfortune of having both a general nervousness and currently being sleep deprived, merely a cheerful person, or an, ahem, worldly humor… anyone may think like a yinglet.
I’m at work right now but I couldn’t help doodling this out, though I expect some of them to tie them to their tails if they are fancy.
That made me think of a Yinglet Bloodbowl team. Which would be epic in all the wrong ways.
(Base statline MA8 ST1 AG3 AV6 Dodge, Side-Step, Stunty, Titchy…plus Guard to represent their ability to swarm an opponent. A access on everybody, G on positionals. Odd Ones could be special positionals like a ST2 “heavy hitter”…)
Lopin has achieved the final step to becoming a man: Being screamed at by a woman for reasons you don’t understand that are probably your fault, somehow. God speed, most manly and fancy of Yinglets.
That yinglet in the last panel cracks me up. Can I please have him appear beside ever mission clear screen in every video game?
Also, is it just me or is Kass slowly starting to talk like a yinglet? It’s probably just cause he’s tired and really tired of all this shit but I’m excited for later down the line when everything really starts to take a toll on him. When he breaks we’ll really get to see who he is. Then we also get to see how those around him deal with that.
Yeah,Yaay!
That’s the most yaay you can get,actually…
EVERYTHING IS YAAY :v
YAAY is his entire world
Is it me or does Lopin look slightly happy about his situation. Could it be he likes being punished if it’s by a female yinglet, could it be he has a natural pet yinglet mindset, or could it be he ha a crush on Kass.
Or am I reading into this to much and he is just confused.
I think you are reading into things about right.
where did his hat go?
and the bloody nose
Tide to go
I wonder if they made it as an offshoot of their soap from the field notes? Or is Val just using the Tide to go filter in photoshop?
little bit of both probably
Off panel yinglet lick
Waitaminit who licked the fancy traitor?
My question is this: Would a yinglet really stick its barbed tounge into Lopins bloody nose, and would Lopin allow a yinglet to do so?
And that would be about the point where this gets weird.
Probably from the hat being thrown onto his nose, and then him whining in it.
I keep forgetting how flimsy and tiny creatures guys are. The way they are drawn gives me a perspective that they are slightly larger than waist high, but then one gets picked up, and I start thinking, ‘about the size and weight of a sack of cats.’ Maybe a three cat sack.
How small are your cats? Mine have been around 28lbs or so, yinglets probably weigh around 50 max I’d assume… Wait, how much does the average yinglet weigh?
I think it was mentioned they have bird like bones too. So in all reality, the Heavy set patriarch is around 50-60 pounds, where as the average Yinglit is only 35-40? Somewhere around there. They aint big or heavy really.
That is what I was thinking, so they weigh as much as a sack of one cat… Who is fat.
actually they do not have very much muscle … tiny stringy runner muscles maybe but that is it so they could be under 20 lbs so a small cat minus the sac?
especially cheerleader yinglet
You must have some really big (or really fat) cats. Most cats weight about 10 pounds, give or take a few pounds. Some of the bigger ones are around 20-25.
Probably because their stick-like legs are almost half their height.
I want to princess carry fancylad
Hello. Tell me where I can do background check?
aw the adorable blush…
he has no idea of the whoop ass he will receive later.
Hopefully, once Kass gets some sleep and it becomes clear that Lopin really isn’t responsible for the transformation, her innate kindness and sense of justice will prevail an emotional smeking and ass-keking.
Based on our brief glimpse of the Patriarchs, I also wonder just how dim the yinglets are. They didn’t seem dumber than average humans. There’s probably a wide range in IQ to go along with the variations in phenotypes, with the lodge door guards toward the lower end. I also have to think that most of them aren’t that old–that they reach adult size in just a few years, so those that display foolish, childish behavior are still the same age as human children. Those that manage to reach their teens and twenties are going to be the smarter ones overall, as well as gain wisdom and life experience.
It also has a lot to do with the heart beat and the chemicals swirling around in their brains. The typical Yinglit mentally lives so fast it can be hard to focus on one thing at a time. They are foragers, scavengers and are constantly on the alert for predation in the ‘wild’. So it is more likely those that can adapt past the base mental design become good leaders.
Is it just me or is Kass’s dialogue a little more, um, Scavvy here? Particularly in Panel 3. He’s been pissed before (#019) and wasn’t using as much slang in that speech.
I’d bet his tiredness has a lot to do with the degradation of his vocabulary and that he’s a lot more angry at Lopin than he was at the guard.
Pretty much! Sleepy, dizzy, and not caring about how much his words are slurring.
The next page?
It’s a greath comic, i adict to watch to check for new pages have hung
yeah I too
I love how every scene in the enclave has a sort of Greek chorus of random Yinglets providing reactions in the background.
NO DON’T LEAVE THE HAT
It’s not dead yet! Don’t you dare die on me, hat–don’t you quit now! Come on FANCY HAT!
I wonder what Lopin’s reaction will be when he finally recognizes Kassen?
my guess is he will fall apart and make Kass feel a little sorry for the verbal asskicking she is going to give him.
I am pretty sure he will have some mental flashback to getting paid double and I am sure he has not forgotten the name Kassen over the last couple days. especially since he is going to remember the double payment.
I am pretty sure he is going to do pretty much anything Kass needs after the next couple pages. especially if he gets access to new hats and clothes.
He also seems reasonably intelligent and collected especially for a yinglet just look at his vocabulary. We also know he knows what he sold as he mentions knowledge of it in the ally.
Maybe Lopin can get an Invenmoth uniform if he’s going to be the personal servant of an official. That might provide some protection from the other yinglets that now see him as a loathsome traitor and outcast.
My guess is also a new fancy hat that is red, to match the Ivenmoth red outfit.
that would be my guess. I don’t think Kassen was able to keep up his anger for long at all and now that he is Kass I think that anger will be even shorter, partly due to lung size (however the dueling screeches during the smek fight shows otherwise).
Not to mention the good 2 panel AAAAAAAAH which to everyone else must have been a really high pitched EEEEEEEEEEE. Which makes me wonder why there wasnt a ton of yinglets charging headlong to that sound as discribed in Feat02 … also bringing that up what is the best gift for a baxxid coworker? I always thought it was one of those accountant visors? Or maybe a pull-string-mechanical-glove rack with the AutoTight™ leather strap tightener system? I mean how many abacus’ does one baxxid need? After Baxxid Appreciation Day, I am pretty sure Eckssssssss L framed one of the 10 she got as really dry sarcasm, but it’s hard to tell and nobody wants to hurt her feelings by asking.
the AAAAAH happens between prelude 14 and 15. I still wonder why that bunkhouse wasnt swarming with crazed yinglets but atleast it explains all the faces that were made during the screech.
So glad I found this comic … Every thing about it screams READ ME!!! …. Also Kass is hilarious. .. YOU . WILL. KNOW. WHAT. YOU. DID.
I just thought of something … He isn’t swooning he’s passing out cause he’s up to high and has no air lol … Not used to being higher than feet after all
I really want to rub Lopin’s tummy right now.
rarrrrrrr
Who is that yellow-eyed white-furred skinny yinglet yelling “Yaay!” in the last panel. He shows up in several pages on the last panel cheering something on.
