Image description:
Someone is walking along in a bad mood.
A parent with a child in a stroller approaches. The child points at the person and says, "Look, daddy! That person has wings!" The parent takes no notice, muttering, "Yes, dear."
The person continues on their walk, with a much more cheerful attitude.
Description ends.

Notes: Apparently a lot of therianthropes and otherkin have had this sort of experience.

Personally, I liked nearly all of the visual ideas you threw out in your sketches for how to draw therianthropes. My vote is that you don't restrict yourself to one style, but go with what works best for that particular comic and mood :}

I compleately agree with this comment.

Also, you need a page button. ::Grins::

Excellent strip, cannot wait to see more.

Page button? What do you mean?

Y'know...like a banner, but smaller.

Oh. Yeah, I'm in the process of making those. I need some artwork to put in them first, and I haven't drawn that yet. (:P

There's a kid around here that calls me "dog" every time she sees me, so I couldn't help but smile at this comic. It's strange how they know so many things that adults just kind of start to ignore...

Not sure how else to contact you so I just thought I'd make a suggestion. I was looking at the FAQ section, and noticed you said something about possible storylines in the future. While I agree there is something to be said for a good storyline, I also like comics that don't have to be part of a continuity. Those are the random things you link to your friends, because they don't have to read 5 pages back to see what's going on. Maybe, if you do decide to do storylines, you could still do a random "out-of-continuity" comic every once in a while? Another reason being, because of your stated goals, I feel like trying to do a long drawn-out storyline would cause it to appear to fictional, you know?

Continuity or no continuity... you have some good points. I'll keep them in mind.

Little kid, open mall, comes running riiiight over to me once when I'm happily entrenched in heavy winter clothes and starts patting me on the butt. X3 Cue very apologetic Asian father, saying sorry, and me grinning as the little kid goes, "Kitsu! Kitsu! Tail alllll ruffled up! Kitsu!!!".

Made my week. X3

I'd have to say that out of the whole comic this is probably my favourite strip. Has actually recently happened to me, I've been called doggy (close enough) and this comic was the first thing I thought of at the moment.

(Lots of love and fond thoughts to the comic. One of my all time favourites. -I mean it's not everyday that you come across a therianthrope/otherkin based comic. :P)
