Some of the recent generations of yinglets have mouths full of teeth that can do that “chewing” thing though, and it is all the rage for any Matriarch to propagate into their enclaves’ genetic footprints.

OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:

I’ve changed my mind.
They’ll be doing the horizontal mambo in 50 pages.
Hmmm…
"And while Lippie does indeed have some stuff going on, I'm not at liberty to divulge details just yet! Soon enough, soon enough."That is going to bother me until I either create a good theory, or you spill the beans, Val. Maybe you were simply hinting at her getting yelled at in the next comic [oops-25], or maybe she is very closely related to Lopin!
Pink eyes, strawberry flavored I believe we agreed upon.
Italics go a little funny on that last bit. Is that deliberate?
If you mean me, yes. Used <code> tags because <blockquote> tags look weirder than that.
It’s really fun to read the life expectancy discussion!
*facesmek*
Oh, you probably meant Ran’s note at the end. Does look a little off, but I’m not going to judge Ran’s handwriting skills.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make dentures for yinglets.
Status is wrong. “Very goddamn adorable” is much more accurate.
Dawww levels are out of control.
…and then they kissed…
how old is lopin?
You only need three or four fake tooth things, so the frame would be the only challenge.
That comment was directed at Lysander’s denture question.
Could add extra teeth so a yinglet would be able to pronounce the ‘th’ sounds! The patriarchs might not be so happy about that though
LOL. Lopin vs. United Airlines.

Maybe Ran will interview Lopin and we’ll see his Ivenmoth employee record so we can find out more about that. Perhaps yinglets have a breeding season, and all eggs hatch within a short period of time, so while Lopin may not know his exact birth date, he knows he’s part of the “hatch of 163” or something. We do know that younglets are raised in a creche indoors in the enclave, possibly until they get big enough to be safe from theorized flying predators (hawks or equivalents), which is why we didn’t see any running around underfoot during Kass’s visit.
Maybe we’ll get the information as Ran learns it; that seems to be how Val is giving it out. So far, Ran doesn’t know about how fast they reach full size and breeding age–those can be quite different in birds, but are more closely related in mammals. It’s also worrying that we have only seen one elderly yinglet, the patriarch, so we have to hope they don’t almost all die before reaching old age. The twisted take would be that the old are put to death once they are of no more use to the enclave, maybe cooked and eaten, leading to Lopin’s horror of being “grilled”.
should have bartered for a pepsi, then that whole situation could have been defused
Whoops, that was directed at TvTropesgotmehooked
Now I’m imagining a yinglet high on soda! Don’t dare give one a Red Bull, it doesn’t actually give you winds but yinglets tend to take things literally.
Yay! New page!
now imagine coffee
Or better yet, one of those obnoxiously sweet bottled Starbucks latte things.
;w; THEY’RE SUCH SWEETIES GOSHES
Wah~ I wonder how soft Yinglet hair is~? I just wanna brush alla Lopin’s hair n’ give ‘im all the darling styles~
….I get the feeling that Lopin calling Kassen his matriarch is going to have more serious repercussions than we think…
It begins.
And here foundeth the new Ivenmozh enclave, led by Matriarch Kass.
Kass blushed! Yinglady Kassen Atoll blushed! 😀
This is going to end with it going to Kass’s head and Lopin licking her boots calling her ‘mommy.’
I SHIP IT. KASSIPON.
I can already tell that the phrase “Project status: goddamn *adorable*” is going to live in my mind rent-free for the next few years…
