I suppose Isher don’t have conscious control over her tail like say a Kangaroo vs one that could be used like a extra limb, otherwise she could have cought her suitors when they fell. I wondered why the Baxxid don’t have prehensile tails to manipulate objects. Isher having a non-prehensile tail as well definitely makes it awkward for her.
i think she just gets so exited it starts kinda wagging like a dogs does the moment one of the guys comes to her
Yeahhhh, it’s basically just a huge lump of spine and muscle trailing behind her : D
…ugh, I forgot about the whole “need to perform a shaman dance before commenting if I want my comment to show up” thing.
Anyway, pffffahahahaahahahaha xD
Okay, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I sure am glad these guys are understanding. Hope they won’t change their opinions on her tail after too many trip-ups.
And I guess Isher’s a little clumsy.
This also brings me back to what I was wondering about when Isher looked in the mirror: the direction of her tail there didn’t match the direction it came from, even though it seems like it should be too much of a pain to move it all that way for no reason. I guess Isher has a tendency to just move it around when nervous? Like how I always do something with my arms or hands or just walk around in circles.
Yeahhh I really wish there was a way to avoid bot spam without making actual commenting harder : P
I mean there probably is but I’m an artist, not a web designer! It’s basically a complete miracle that I was able to get the site up and running it all : D
And yes; it’s not exactly prehensile, but she does subconsciously move it around quite a bit, especially when nervous
The problem seems to be that the ‘I’m not a robot’ thing doesn’t appear the 1st time you try to comment, what I’ve been doing is copypasta my text and rinse&repeat again when the captcha thingy appears. But ya, not a web designer either, don’t know how to fix. Sux for newbies who write a long article and it goes poof, maybe put a warning to make sure the captcha is there?
Press tab few times until “register” and “login” appears, then you can register and login without the need to use the captcha. This was posted here some time ago from someone else. Sorry, I don’t remember the name. Maybe you should add this to the site, so poeple will know what to do.
Huh, good trip. Didn’t realise this was set up as an actual multi-user site. Now it’s telling me to pester Valsalia about an update! 😸
Bad Behavior is a good way to detect bots on WordPress, and I also manually verify comments. You should also double-check that any links in comments receive a rel=”nofollow” in the link, which tells Google not to follow them.
the barkeep is all of us really
The barkeep has obviously been through this sort of thing before.
VERY
Why so long between pages?
This isn’t anything new for the comic. Art takes times, after all, and this isn’t the only art Val works on. Also, Raptie, who helps out with the comic, also has other things on the go.
So! The pages are made in a sort of production line method; while Raptie, my colorist, works on the colors/shades for a page, I’m working on the sketches/inks for the next page. So sometimes when Life Stuff comes up for either of us, there can be a bit of a delay, before pages are afterwards posted at a higher rate than usual.
Hoping to build up a buffer so I can release them more regularly sometime in the near future though!
Don’t forget Valsalia also does a second comic strip, which he does not share here, but on Deviant Art. Most artists do well keeping a single comic going, but Valsalia, he’s kind of a masochist for writers cramp, for which a couple of years ago had to slow down publishing. Don’t feel bad, Darbi (another awesome comic) hasn’t updated since November, and that’s fine as people need time to be human (or Yinglet) despite our wishes to handcuff them to the writing table for life.
Goddamn hilarious, that last panel. You can tell she’s really trying her best not to burst out laughing, but it’s clearly a struggle.
“Trying not to laugh at one’s clientele” is a constant trial for those in the retail and service industries.
I’ve not laughed this hard in a long time, woke up the whole house…
Ayyy, glad to hear that! : D
That’s clearly a few steps above the average chuckle
Another one bites the dust.
She. Has been waiting. FOREVER for this.
A tail of woe. Also, banged knees hurt like hell.
