In today’s comic, Colin takes a lead.
↓ Transcript
Colin: Sorry that took so long, Flora. I brought Tanya’s clothes from the car, and I had to make a few calls to fill out her paperwork.
Flora: Okay, leave them on the table. She’s in the middle of an exam.
Talitha: An’ then he said...
--------------------------------------------------
Colin: By the way, I saw it was almost 6:00, and I need to go pick up Hunter. Is this going to take long?
Flora: Not long. Maybe a few more minutes?
Colin: I see.
Talitha: Get away from my princess!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Colin: Well, how about I meet you back at your place and we can figure out what we’re going to do with the kits.
Flora: I don’t have enough room in the car for all of them, though.
Talitha: An’ that ain’t all! he got mad at ‘em!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colin: Hmm. I think You’re right, Flora...
Talitha: An’ then the bison wen’t like this! *growling noises*
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Colin: Tell you what: I’ll take the boys with me. you take care of the girls and We’ll meet you back at your place in say... about an hour?
Flora: That sounds good... dear.
Talitha: An’ then she bent over an’ kissed him!
Kaleb: Gasp!
Flora: Okay, leave them on the table. She’s in the middle of an exam.
Talitha: An’ then he said...

Kaleb: Gasp!
Hehehe That got Benni’s attention. =P
Well, he needed to meet a good Adult role model.
That Benni did
Yeah, Benni must be thinking that something’s up
Benny is all ears, cause he’s new in Flora’s family, but the -gasp- looks like it is from Caleb, to me. His Mom just called Colin, ‘Dear’.
Indeed, Le Gasp! What will the nurse think?
And why didn’t the nurse call for an aide to bring a new gown. We’re talking about a kid’s modesty. In the 50’s that wasn’t much of a concern, especially with little boys. But after the 70’s it seems like doctors started listening to their patients more, and becoming more responsive and proactive.
Re: the gown I thought about that, but as a point of brevity, it’s one less strip to draw if I just leave it out. Getting a new gown or leaving Tanya naked would have little to no impact on the fact that she’s getting a physical exam, so it’s best left up to interpretation. If it had been Colin in place of Flora, I suspect that Tanya would had said something about it, but as it stands, Tanya is at least tolerant of being naked here because she’s getting examined by a female, guarded by a female that can… Read more »
can we solve the actual drama before throwing more gasoline on the fire? maybe Benni is ok with the new situation but from that last panel i am not sure
I’m sure Benni is fine. It’s just Kalab and Benni were surprised about the word “dear” being used as a word of affection with Colin. Keep in mind. Benni is still sad about the flower and beating up a kid who hurt his friends. He always had a quiet way of reacting to Colin and Flora’s interactions with each other. Look back to his face when Flora claims they only jumped on a bed.
Me thinks that Flora is subtly letting Colin know that she is interested in him.
Will Colin get the hint? Tune in next week to “The Colin and Flora” show to see kids.
In all honesty, Colin might have something in mind for Benni and Kaleb that doesn’t involve the ladies.
i think that they have clarified that they are mutually interested, few stripes before
I know, but it’s more like how she paused before adding dear to her reply.
And as discussed earlier, I b’lieve Colin will be buying Benny-boy some flowers for the ones he lost that were for Ms. Flora.
Which I think is So sweet of Colin. That poor fox has some serious heart in him. He tends to jump to conclusions fast, but his heart is Solid gold.
I agree, as I suspect that is part of the plan of him taking the boys and meeting Flora at home in an hour.
I’d say that got Kaleb’s attention, too. Most excellent installment, Mr. Campion! 😀
We, over here, second that motion, and suggest we put it to a vote, that it be entered into the Record, stating that We, the Fans, find that this comic hits us in the feels, and as a webcomic is consistantly well done Over All.
All opposed?
Here, here! Motion seconded!!!
In the absence of opposition, the majority’s statement will be entered into the record verbatem, and the lack of oppositional votes noted, and durly recorded.
I cannot imagine that marriages for convenience would not have long existed in this world.
I don’t know, considering the reaction by the confessor at Flora’s church when she admitted to being physically attracted to a fox. Perhaps it’s just that particular sect, but… Then again, considering the social behaviors of many of the mundane animals that some of the characters are based on I could see civil unions being widely acceptable, even polygamous arrangements due to the herd nature of some mammals translating to their elevated kin. And it wouldn’t be for reproductive purposes, per se, but a trait that did assist in the survival of the group… Regardless it’s something that would be… Read more »
I suppose though, when you think about it, would Colin and Flora simply marry and the strip become another Brady Bunch? Too predictable, really.
Not likely. Colin doesn’t have 3 boys of his own.
Your wry sense of humour may be too dry for some, but I find it a rare treat. Well done, I say! I am currently sitting on tenter-hooks waiting for the update. Boy is it uncomfortable! Ouch! Colin is very perceptive, and also apears Not to be very good at multitasking (most men think they are better at this than they actually are) so I’m not sure if he will remember that he registered that Benny needs some flowers, to replace those lost while being a hero. Taking care of the four boys (three boys, Sire.), three boys, at dinner… Read more »
In today’s comic, Colin scratch that, Miss Flora takes the lead. And drops a hint on Colin’s foot er, … paw.
Sometimes I wonder about Colin’s engagements with adults, and other times, I am very confident in his ability to relate to other adults. He seems to have very little trouble at work in a leadership position, yet while he doesn’t seem to move as a man (beast) insecurely, he doesnt project an air of confidence when near Miss Flora. I hope this is because of his recent loss, and not of life having beaten him down.
