Trying to determine if that hug is sarcastic or not…
Not to mention that head pat as well…
The head pat, or probably petting, might be honest. Elim is a human after all and Kass a smol and fluffy creature. Petting would come naturally. (Source: I am human and love petting smol and fluffy creatures)
I 100% agree with your sentiment. And to go a step further (or perhaps it’s in a different direction altogether), I absolutely luv back-nape-of-the-neck scratchies/rubs from my SOs. Who (and this is the rub) are almost always, smaller than I.
But to receive one from a bro or a comrade? That seems a little off.
Could be Elim is just rolling with the punches, and adapting to Kass’s new manerisms, or maybe you are right and Elim has surrended to the fluffy ying-mane/fluff! :b
It might be a reflex to prepare to push the little rat monster away if it gets too grabby.
I vote for surrendered/acting mentally absent on instinct. ^_^
Maybe Elim was going to push Kass away, but then was like *soooooooo soft…* “No problem, buddy.”
manerisms? i think you mean womanerisms
Petting smol and fluffy creatures is the most natural thing in the world. As far as my instincts and mind are concerned, they exist to be petted.
not everyone likes to pet smol and fluffy creatures , and not all smol and fluffy creatures likes to be petted (like some chihuahuas)
Will Kass’ new Yingling nature come to the fore!? Will he lose sight of the man he once was? Will Elim design the next big fashion fad, yinglet fanny packs!? Will Lopin be able to keep his eyes? Tune in to the next chapter to find out the answer to none of these questions!
Where’s the add for the official ivanmoth decoder ring?
Don’t forget to drink your Indreltine.
It was all just a commercial?!
Tune in next time!
Same Scav-time, same Scav-channel!
I was going for more of a SOAP-type thing. 🙂
Pfft, everyone knows Kass is going to introduce fanny packs to Yinglet society.
Kass has such violent friends. Fortuitous!
Basically if you are surrounded by a group of people who are willing to do horrible things to other people’s heads/faces for you, you are in good company.
God-father Kass.
Kas looks quite seductive in that pose… um, you know, for a female yinglet, that’s seductive, whether ey means it that way or not. But Elim won’t take it that way.
Kass/Elim Abbot & Costello vaudeville montage WHEN?!
It would not be incorrect to think of this entire comic as a long, drawn-out comedy skit between the two
Nice, but….WHO IS ON FIRST?
No, no, no. I told you, Who is on second.
Oh no don’t do that, you’ll make their brains pop
*Feels yinglet brains explode violently.*
Remind me of the cubi of DMFA (www.missmab.com) they start of with what we would thing of as normal emotional responses but as time goes by and they get more of their power they start to feel emotions more strongly, which in turn clouds their judgement. (page in question – http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1207.php)
There’s a lot of similarities there, yep!

Oops, double post, can one be removed? Preferably the first one.
I think it’s more likely her brain is now going thru a permeant semi drunk state, combined with a permeant sugar-rush. But I don’t think she will lose any I.Q. points for it. After all the brain chemistry of a Yinglet has to be different to a human’s.
That’s a very accurate way of putting it! I’ve said before; chug a bunch of alcohol and energy drinks, and that’s pretty much what it’s like to be a yinglet.
Challenge accepted!
Health announcement:. Do not chug a bunch of alcohol and energy drinks. Bad stuff can happen.
Kass needs Ritalin badly.
Pretty much.
To be fair to Kass, it was pretty funny.
“Elim speaks the words of an angel.”
… a destroying angel, perhaps. The kind that does all the smiting.
To quote Sgt. “Buster” Kilrain from the movie Gettysburg, “Well if man is an angel, alright then. But he must be a killer angel.”
That last panel reminds me of the ‘conan pose’ (http://www.neatorama.com/2015/01/03/The-Conan-Pose-A-Visual-Trope-That-Appears-Everywhere/). Re-enacting that any closer would be incredibly awkward for those two, good request picture idea though.

Had a nagging feeling something like this might occur. Kass’s change was traumatic in the worst sense, and it’s not uncommon to have issues with the mind fragmenting afterwards. I don’t think she’s gonna have any lingering issues once she becomes fully acclimated to the new body, it’s just the road there that’s gonna be a bit bumpy. At least she had friends to lean on in case something does go pear shaped.
…and then Ran walks in, ruining the bros’ little heartwarming moment.
Oh, God. That’s exactly the sort of thing that Ran would do.
“I certainly hope you’re writing this doooown! ♪”
Hahaha, that’s the scene that first came to my mind as well!

Hey! I made a FA account! What’s your name on it?
I don’t have one yet! Will let you know if/when I do. 🙂
Dear Diary,
Today I’ve added a new ship to my log of many fantasy fetishes. it is strange.
Yessss
My dark work continues
Hah, the one true goal of making people want to have adorable talking rats as “pets”
Hey – at least I’m not the only one.
God-dammit Val! I wanted to know who committed the crime!!!
(Lusty Argonian Maid, of course.)
*shivers*
With Yannit to crush heads and Elim to pulp faces Kass just needs a Baxxid pal to “rip new ones” in people and Kass’ Kill Krew will be all set
Honestly don’t know why this comic doesn’t get more attention. It’s so good.
Loving this comic more and more. I’ve read through it…3-4 times now already and will probably read it through more!
I hear ya. Everytime inhit the end, I just start over.
I guess I’m caught up! Nooooo.
Yo, Valsalia! Your comic is EXCELLENT. I’ve been enjoying it a LOT right off the bat. It’s one of the most fascinating stories I’ve come across in years, and I’m tempted to do a fandub of it.
Though I usually voice the lead in whatever I do, and that wouldn’t really work here, since I’m a guy and Kass is female for the vast majority of the story. Hmm. It’s the same reason I haven’t really worked on fandubs of some of my other favorites (This is now definitely one of them) like Gunnerkrigg Court, or Blindsprings.
Bah, I’m rambling. I’m also tired after binging your entire archive over the last few hours. It’s a really wonderful story!
Seems Val needs to visit the matriarch of his adopted enclave, to get some insight on how to keep himself grounded and avoid his “urges.”
Might have to leave Lopin in the city so he doesn’t get hassled (and shenanigans! )
I meant KASS (not Val) , needs to speak with Viz (let)

Speaking of … the fourth panel always looked rather “traumatic” ina “carnal reed” kinda way, unless you had proper context to place it in.
Surprised we haven’t seen brawler/berserker Kass in a while too btw…
It sounds like Kass now has to deal with ADD. Well, given that Yinglets are so hyper, I suppose ADHD is more apt.
Kinda like that time Angel was turned into a puppet.
Kass = me irl
Turns out that having a neurological disorder that messes with sensory processing (Central Sensitization Syndrome in my case) is a lot like turning into a Yinglet. It’s a thing for folks with fibromylagia, too– “fibro fog.” Having to kinda… dig, to get to your own thoughts, and then keep firm hold of them lest they scatter.
Never thought a comic about adorable furry/scaly/chitinous things would speak to my life so directly. I’d just been enjoying the binge (and Yannit is now my waifu, bug waifu is best waifu) and then BAM, relevance.
Doesn’t Kass have the best friends ever? Yannit would crush heads, Elim would bash faces, Lopin would serve him, and Isher just plain lov- ‘POW’
Never mind. Excuse me, but need to address this giant lump where my eye should be. (Thanks a lot, dino-breath.) Wait, no! I didn’t mean- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
“If man is an angel, alright then. But he must be a killer angel.” – Sgt. “Buster” Kilrain in the movie Gettysburg, title-dropping the book that it was based on.
“I just feel zhings more now! Everyzhing!”
Sounds like Kass is on a permanent (alass relatively mild) mushroom trip, haha.
