Elim has a rapidly-growing number of yinglets who appreciate him.
Hey, sorry about the wait! Spent a couple weeks in South Carolina, and then got a massive sinus infection from all the South Carolina in my sinuses. But all’s well now, so back to work!
…And suddenly people change their shipping charts.
Val Salia is a rather busy port IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Y’AAAARRRR!!! Ten weeks I been at sea! Cannae wait to port up an’ git me some rat-bird booty.
-Totally real pirate quote
Oh! Oh! I think of this AFTER I make a post of course.
If you catch the crabs from “Yinglets of the evening”, do the sailors call it the “scavies”?
…I’ll show myself out.
It’s okay, it’s not gay if it’s a yinglet.
It’s arguably worse, if your friends find out you’re a scav chaser!
Welp I guess I just wont have friends anymore. Ooooosp. They’re too cute not to. But I DO have standards.
Actually that makes me curious what is the general attitude towards homosexuality in your setting?
Taboo? Ignored? Accepted?
Title Unlocked: Scav Chaser
hehehe Lopins got the hots for him!
Admittedly, Lopin gets the hots rather easily.
The broken off tooth probably does not help
Hahaha. Keep it in your pants Lopin.
You’re great at adding inflection to frigging speech-bubbles Val.
I had the opportunity to visit South Carolina several years ago. Beautiful, but pollen everywhere all the time. The trees got to me.
P.S.: WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR EYELASHES!?! (Go ahead and edit my post if you want too. 😉 )
Glad you noticed/liked the thing I’ve been doing with the speech bubbles lately! If I’m going to be drawing them by hand, I may as well use that malleability for something, ya know?
And thanks for catching the eyelash thing! Head’s still a bit groggy from the infection, and there were a couple things I missed when I posted the first version.
Nnoo00o!! Original version was better! 😛
JK, Your welcome. And wow, fast!
Aw, who wouldn’t want to get with Lopin? Seems like Elims the lucky one here.
In modern times, maybe! But interacting with “lesser” races is a pretty big thing in Ye Olden Times, and all that.
I hear ya on the sinus problems. After moving to North carolina from East Tx was murder on me and the wife. We have these huge yellow clouds of pollen blowing everywhere, sucks hard.
Back on topic, Definitely went weird fast. Poor Elim, however I believe Lopin started crushing on him from that one time where he picked him up, as lopin seemed to enjoy it a bit to much.
I amd from and live in east texas.
I used to live in South Carolina, I know exactly what you mean.
I’m just waiting for “you know who” (don’t say his name, he may show up and OBSERVE you) to write Love in It’s Many Forms: A Guide to Inter-Species Adult Relationships
Oh I’m sure He Who Shall Remain Nameless, although we can’t see, is taking notes.
I’m begging for someone to create a trollface version of “him”. Always watching, waiting, listening…
FOR SCIENCE!!
Best time to start voting for OOPs is the beginning of the month. And who starts the various /co threads? So difficult to find, but so fun to read.
“I always feel like…somebody’s waaaatchin’ meeee…”
Well, technically it’s the scav chasing after him soooo…
Lopin has upwardly-mobile aspirations.
By which I mean HE WANTS TO CLIMB ELIM LIKE A FIRM, SWEATY TREE
Guess Kass is just glad someone other than her is feeling very uncomfortable.
Off topic: Figgins is missing approximately half his tail!

Elim is not a scav chaser!!!….
He is a SCAV-CHASED!
…I foresee a lot of weird fuckup stuff on Elim’s near future :V
Unless you take into acocunt that he is tehcnically chasing around after a female scave…. which some people might take incorrectly the situation there, who also just happens to outrank him now.
I live in Georgia, and it feels like every year there’s something new I’m allergic to that blooms earlier or later than the previous earliest or latest blooming thing. It used to just be oak and ragweed, though even then, we still got a LOT of that stuff.
I got into a bad skateboarding accident, so it looks like I have some kind of STD rash on my face. I have no idea how that relates to Lopin flirting with Elim, but I just hope Lopin doesn’t have any rashes on him. However, Lopin’s cute so I would think it hilarious if he was flirting with me, despite me not being gay! Oh well, I don’t even know what I’m writing anyway. Uh… have a nice day? Yeah, that. Have a nice day! (Elim is not having a nice day knowing a scav has the hots for him. Why am I posting this? I should be working.)
You know I have to wonder now since that guy has suddenly become so popular among the Yinglets because a female calls him brother. I wonder how popular that makes him among the female Yinglets.
Elim should show Lopin the detached thumb magic trick—blow the little guy’s mind twice in one day.

Hahahahaha… Now that Lopin has realized that Kass was transformed, what will finally make him crack is a misplaced digit!
The return of our yinglet friends! Huzzah!
– Sh- HE was a DUDE, okay?!
– So?
This comic is the most deliciously awkward thing I’ve ever read. Thank you. So good.
Also, the art is nice. And the plethora of species is both imaginative and interesting.
And the jokes. sucks to be kass though!
Oh right, and to be clear i just binged the whole damn thing. Those comments were in general, although they totally apply to this page too.
Also, has the yinglett life-span question ever come up? Because i’m curious how long they live for.
Not in comic, so nothing canon yet, but here someone tried to figure it out.
http://www.valsalia.com/comic/out-of-placers/oops-47/comment-page-1/#comments
The author mentioned around 30 years in the comments of an early strip, but now I can’t remember which one. But that could be affected by the yingy’s wide genetic variability. Maybe Healthy Healthy Juice ™ could come back into the story someplace, too–Kass or Lopin chugs down an unmarked container that’s been sitting on a shelf in Ran’s lab for a while, for example.
I just did a binge while waiting to get loaded this morning (I’m a truck driver) and I think that quote was lost in the site revamp, unless I’m just blind.
But 30 does sorta sound about right, even though I can’t put my finger on why though.
There is also the whole “medieval age” thing going on, so even most humans have a short lifespan.
‘Medieval’ people didn’t that a much shorter lifespan than modern ones. The average age was lower because a considerable portion of children never made it to adulthood.
Once someone got past puberty without suffering any severe malnutrition they could live as old as a modern human, though disease, famine, childbirth and war were more likely to do them in those were not actually things related to lifespan.
That was my bit of historic pedantry for today, you may move along!
Lopin is such a cutie~! I hope everythin’ goes well forrim~! I just wanna shower ‘im in delightfully fancy hats~
Mn, I wonder where he got HIS hat from!
“WOW that went from heartwarming to weird so fast.” You could summarize this whole comic with that line
“Pages 1 and 2, BORING!”
*clicks for next page*
“Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! Giant talking horrifying bug! Is it gonna eat them!?!”
*keeps reading*
“I love Yannit.”
*several more clicks, ‘zhat zhing’ does its thing*
O_o “WTF! This better not get any weirder, or I’m baling-out…”
*weirdness intensifies*
“Damn story is too interesting. Yinglets are…different. Artwork gets better every page…”
ME GUSTA
Wherw the hell is brother-commentor Van?
He is late to the party!
Stupid thing posted before I could place the html link in my name…
The voter incentives are always … interesting .
[Van] seems like someone who comments only when there is maximum theorizing to do. 😉
P.S.: Time to vote!
P.P.S.: If zhis comment went where it’s supposed to, zhat means [Valsalia] fixed ze problem!
Its TvT! It must be “Time For Science!”
Let us test this hypothesis, by conjecturing the best sleeping arrangements (in the field / camping) for our trio, would be either Elim Kass Lopin (EKL : Biggest spoon to littlest spoon), while the WORSE sleeping arrangement would be ELK (even though it does spell the name of an animal, so does gain points for that)
The reason being is that it reduces sub-Lopin getting his fanboy jollies from being near the perceived dom-Elim (aka za hoo-man).
While the ELK formation not only gives Lopin the maximum number of jollies (by being between two doms), but also risk the possible “fertilization” of Kass!
There ya go! If your theory proves correct, this hypothesis should prove an adequate russtler of Van’s jimmies! Hyeh heh >:3
LOL! And they all end up accidentally using Yannit as a pillow. 😉
I’m stuck trying to remember a quote from Seinfeld. Elaine slept ‘back to back’ so there could be no ‘funny business’.
… speaking of pillows … *deviantly blushes* I’m thinking Isher may be the better equipped for that “particular” job duty.
Though heat/coolness, texture, and firmness are unknown quantitties :3
Yannit can crawl into a corner and play the role of security guard / scare-the-pants-off-intruders specialist!
Seinfeld? Great-Scott! You must be of my generation! The older reference Mad-About-You, and the younger reference Friends! (The younger still reference disney and nickolodian live-action series (while the older reference the cartoons (e.g. cat-dog, eek the cat, doug, and rocko’s modern life))
Muhahahaha! Media and Meme forensics degree is paying off! (In minimum wage and net credibility :b)
Btw! Happy Uno de Mayo!
Today is the day we all grab a pack of Uno cards and go make some new comrades!
Huzzah! I think it is fixed!
Aww, did you miss me?
I just didn’t really have anything to say for this page.
Still don’t.
Of course! We are a tight knit little family here! When one of our most enthusiastic members with q face/avatar goes missing, it is immediately noticed!
That’s also one of the benefits of having an avatar btw. You are not just some voice in the wind/system. You have a percieved physical form, that seperates you from the hidden fauna of this biome.
I suppose that means the flora would be the text we speak then? Us giving it life/carbonO2, and it giving us a sustenance/air+food.
Do you feel like commenting now? Is everything okay? Be well compatriot.
How about now?
Words are but wind and scratches. I’m sure a few commentators would happily identify as some kind of flora.
Perhaps the quiet ones identify as …
*puts on shades*
“Wall flora.”
— YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!

I really love this webcomic! I only wish they were posted more often! If I had any spare income I would help support you, and coming from me that’s saying a lot. In the coming months and years, as my income grows more and more, I promise on my honor that I will try to become a high paying patreon! As soon as I’m done with college and solidly in the workforce, I’ll aim for a 15 or 20 dollar a month donation or more if I can, as this is one of the best webcomics I’ve ever read. In the meantime, please keep making these awesome and highly entertaining comics in this fascinating world that you’ve made!
I hope that one day you can make these comics full time! And I’ll work towards making that happen!
How about now?
Its doin it again, me thinks…. *
*author’s note : translated from french
I foegot this thing EATS Scripts…
I LOVE Lopin! I would give him so so many hugs!
SMASH dat 🅱ussy
Last panel = ROFLMAO. I quite agree with Elim.
South Carolina, eh? Depending on where you were, you were anywhere from 100 to 200 miles from me.
