He has a stick
He’s helping
Hey folks, sorry about crunching this 3rd page out right at the end of the month here! Thought I’d have time to start posting 4 per month, starting with this one; but in addition to recovering (very well, I might add!) from the nerve stuff, I got a call last week with some bad news. When I got back from the funeral/family gathering, I had just 3 and a half days before the end of the month, so CRUNCH TIME
Well, he’s dead. Onto the next plot, I guess.
In hindsight, having now read the Val’s post under the comic, my comment might have been in poor taste.
I’m sorry for your loss, Val.
He’s clutching his chest and literally frothing at the muzzle… Death by heart-attack isn’t out of the question, in my book.
Now in that last line of Brakka’s, is he saying Murder because he’s BEING murdered, or because he WANTS to Murder a little bitch?
I was kinda wondering that myself.
Both. He’s a bastard, after all.
We all know what you meant. You were only being insensitive to Brakka, it’s fine XP
Well damn, he seems quite upset. Hooe his new friends can cheer him up.
Brakka’s “Not all is lost!” expression is the best. He sees possibilities. Maybe… maybe the world isn’t doomed?
Oh wait it’s doomed. At least you have a friend. With a stick. *pokepoke*
No worries, RL happens, and you gotta deal with stuff, and family stuff, well, you don’t really get any do overs on that sorta stuff, you gotta go.
Blue eyed round ears is so cute! Also Brakka may want to get ahold of some anti-stress meds if they exist, just saying XD
They exist for yinglets. It’s called clams.
“I don’t want you to see me scaving out on clams”
At this point he looks like he needs something a bit stronger than clams :3
Like… four clams?
I feel like a Yinglet on Xanax would be just as hyper. What happens when an unstoppable chill meets an immovable spaz?
Humm, lot more going on here than it might seem.
Brakka looks a lot more upset than if it was just a bit of money he might be loosing. And I gotta agree with others, “Oh good not all is lost look is sweet! He seems so suddenly hopefull. Only to have his hopes crushed afterwords. YOu do kinda wanna feel sorry for the guy.
I still have to wonder if Brakka is working for a third group of yinglets, not wanting to be part of the enclaves, and wanting to go there own way.
Don’t worry, this is a natural yinglet reaction when a yinglet has consumed something inedible and or poisonous and is trying to expel it from the body. In this case, regret.
You. I like your comment. Thumbs up.
Sucks that we don’t have a like or point moderation system here. It would also be nice if we could edit comments, but hey.
I love how ol’ “new friend” is smart but STILL takes a moment to make sure what he heard was good or not.
Oh, Yinglets, ye adorable fookin’ bahstards.
Awwww, they’re so cute when they’re enjoying brain hemorrhage-induced nap time.
Yinglets are officially my favorite fantasy species.
Awww, but they didn’t even get to the good bit! Where Lopin was given to the new Ivenmoth enclave, which is just Lopin and the mysterious new female yinglet that didn’t seem to exist until, oh, right about the time that Lopin got into trouble…
Umm, this might be a bit odd, but, is it posable Brakka is having something like a heart attack?
twitching and foaming at the mouth is obviously the best answer to everything.
Oh, yeah? Well, Gckk-phht *hufffff* Rgghhhhggh!
The plot thickens…. as does from from the mouth.
*foam*
Autocorrect fail.
I blame ze stick.
I love the shit-eating grins on those two in the sixth panel. I bet they fully new how Brakka was gonna react to their news of Lopin.
I never before knew that “mindlessly ridiculous derp-face” and “that special all-pervading smugness that comes from having completely out-witted your opponent” could be perfectly combined. Sorry Barkka, these two derpy-noodles may well be everything wrong with the species, but they had your number as soon as you had the arrogance to say they couldn’t be a lil’ bitch…
THink his poor bigger than usual tiny yiglet brain went bye,bye. Cause he looking and acting like he has rabies. Do they have something like rabies in your world?
He took that well.
I think we may have reached the limit of how many consecutive twists a yinglet’s mind can handle. Poor Brakka.
1st: Dont know where “that bitch” is! (negative)
2nd: These two know him, know his name! (positive)
3rd: Oh god these two are EVERYTHING WRONG WITH SPECIES STOP TALKING (negative)
4th: Back on track, they know where he is… (positive…?)
5th: ABSOLUTE WORST POSSIBLE ANSWER ON HIS LOCATION! (Negative)
6th: Possible hope, maybe not as bad as it sounded? (positive)
7th: NOPE I WAS WRONG THIS IS AN EVEN WORSE ANSWER! (Negative)
* Yinglet.exe has stopped working. Too many ups and downs to process
Wll.. that emotional roller-coaster went off the rails. Hard.
Imagine if they mentioned the scary head crushing bug thing that Lopin now has for a friend, and the so giant scary lady.
Welp….. someone got this yinglet his medication. That foam aint caused by stress alone.
Ok who gave this Yinglet a cyanide capsule, what are you thinking. And I am sorry to hear about your loss Val, your not alone in that boat I for one have had one of the worst years of my life so I know how you may feel.
OH ya that’s great. Just wait until he finds out he’s now the right hand of a new Female who’s apparently an Innmouth officer/Yinglet Ambassador. Basically now to solve his problem he has to potentially threaten the Ambasitor’s Aid. which might not go over very well since the Ambasitor is also a Yinglet female. I wonder how further down he will go once he finds out it’s worse than him simply being now part of the Innsmoth group but now is under the protection of a very high ranking Female. I wonder if as he’s trying to think of a solution he keeps flashing on what if’s in a bad way.
I notice that Brakka is very conscientiously avoiding the z sound favored by yinglets.
Yeah, his earlier appearances showed he’s one of the ones who uses “d” instead of “zh”.
Brakka exhibits what is basically a rural accent among Yinglets.
I thought it might have more to do with him not wanting to be a stereotype.
Quick, take your tablets.
Someone get him some dried frog pills!
He needs to talk to the Bursar about that :}
I don’t think he’s in the talking mood right now…
Crunch that time! CRUNCH IT GOOOD!!!
I have a small subsection of my reaction image folder for Yinglet facial expressions. Thank you for this beautiful contribution.
Yinglet.exe has stopped running and has to close. Would you like to submit an error report?
Well Brakka should be easier to catch by the city guard as they are also looking for him too and his is making quite the scene.
is that what an int score of 4 looks like?
A character with int 4 probably wouldn’t have the autonomous nervous function to foam at the mouth from sheer stupid overload.
I imagine they’d be more akin to a rock made of flesh. Or a particularly stupid-looking tree.
Awww, he fainted from cute overload. 🙂
Is it possible to develop epilepsy from pure, unadulterated rage and confusion? ‘Cause I think Brakka just did it.
My condolences to you and your family, Valsalia.
Glad to hear your arm is better, though.
loving this comic, waiting for more as your arm allows you to bring these out. in reguards to yinglet medicating with clams. how much stronger a effect is proper clam juice for them? how do they respond to cooked over raw. is clam chowder nirvana?
Good clam chowder is already nirvana for me and I’m not even a yinglet.
Even among Yinglets, this guy is high-strung. Can you imagine his reaction if they served him haggis without chutney?
So ive been thinking… why would the yinglets want to make more females? See in nature they discrepancy is not the worst thing that can happen… they seem to have a high birth rate and no problem whatsoever in making sex with other males… This could be advantageous to have a bunch of male protectors on the pack and just a few breethers, so you can protect your progeny at all cost… also, they society seems to have figured that out… Anyways, i was thinking the ‘why’…
See… a power struggle is the only thing i can think of… Some patriarchs want to take the power of the matriarchs, and to do so they NEED more females, and there are 2 possibilities to that… either they are turning humans on female yinglets or they are turning male ying in to female ying… both of the possibilities have interesting outcomes…
IF they are turning humans in female ying that can mean the human probabilities stand still… 51% female chance and 49% male chance… that can in a way turn all the table in their society. Having the same number of males and females roughly on the society would make a HUGE population surge and make the matriarchs useless for the society in general… but not the patriarchs…
And IF they are trying to make several male in to female the outcome is the same but slower… they need to find more and more artifacts every time the populi of female grows smaller to keep they power (that creates a problem if the artifacts are really hard to find or even limited)
But in both situations the yinglet population would grow a LOT…and thats where i see that the guy thinking of that plan didn’t tought this through… See, a larger population requires much more food…. and yinglets dont have a very reliable farm system… they also dont have a very reliable food source… (and if you think food shortage is hard in humans who can eat about anything to survive… in a species as yinglets whose diets are a lot more restrictive… hell would spam on their society)… See, even if there is more than enough clam and food for them now a sudden population grow would make the demand go up and up and the oisters and clam go shorter in numbers… hunger generates despair and despair generates unrest…
Also… the sudden surge in power would mean a LOT more factions emerging, cause a sudden population grow means a lot of population to care, and they dont have a very good administrative system…
Humans have been through this all the time… they know how to deal with it… even in this world the Viracroix guy knows food and resources for the population are essential to mantaining order and power… yinglets.. not so much…
and the major problem yet… yinglets seem to have an unstable genetic base … almost like they are eating radioactive food or something (haha, imagine this world being a post nuclear war =p) that means in a sudden grow in female population the patriarchs woudnt be able to control the reproduction value… that would spam a LOT of genetic problems through their society… sooo the patriarchs would have to suddenly deal with hunger and food shortages, genetic diseases going wild and probably more power strugle due to the population grow… well, seems fun =p
(also very good comic, devoured it in like 2 days, reading for the 3rd time now)
