In today’s comic, Colin skips a beat.
↓ Transcript
Colin: You know, Flora, I’ve been thinking: You’ve done so much for me the past few weeks since I moved here, I honestly can’t thank you enough, and even now, with everything that’s happened, you’ve still kept the interests of my kits in mind.
Colin: And the kits get along well enough--although, I’m pretty concerned about whether Hunter would be safe around that girl--but you seem to be handling
Benni, so I think I can trust your judgement.
Colin: Also, I had a good time chatting when we ate over at Dingo-Roo’s. A- Anyhow, I guess what I’m trying to say is that I- I like you. I was hoping that, maybe, you might feel the same way?
Flora: Aww, Colin, that’s so sweet, And, yes, I do! And you’re right, we’ve got to keep them separated. Tell you what...
Flora: Tanya’s probably going to have lady questions, so I think it’s best I watch her tonight. You take the boys and get your mind off of things. What do you say?
Colin: I think I can work with that.
Tanya: Daddy...

Somebody is awake , is a good thing that Flora is here .
Aww cute bonding moment <3
Wouldn’t you know, the sound of a possible miracle
YAY!!!! Tanya’s awake! Now it’s time to assess how much trauma she endured at Jestan’s paws. Let’s hope that she is none the worse for wear after what happened. Methinks that she is going to want to get back at Jestan for what he did to her. Her best bet would be to get at him through the proper channels. She is going to need some counseling to get over what happened to her and to properly vent about Jestan, LaRoy and Beth-Anne and what they did to her and Kaleb. One thing that Colin and Flora needs to do… Read more »
Good call on bringing the boys in. They need to see Tanya is going to recover, and it would absolutely be a good thing to show that they care and worry. Here’s hoping that Tanya understands the bonds they share and that both fought for her.
It’s what families do, after all.
Totes adorbs moment… actually come to think of it, this is the first truly adorable moment we’ve had since the rape chapter started almost a year ago… okay maybe not that long, but it sure feels that way. EDIT: Okay I double checked, and holy mackerel! The starting date of Tanya’s rape story-arc was January 29th 2018. I realize Campion took some time off, but damn it feels like this is really going on for a long time. I understand these things should be given the proper attention and all, and I admire you for doing that Campion. Just… oh… Read more »
I think they just did…
True it was happier for a brief moment, but it probably won’t stay that way. I’m glad Tanya’s awake, but we’re most likely in for a long hard discussion. Again, it should be long and hard, but I kinda hope it doesn’t last an entire year (as the last two chapters have).
Have faith! Whatever happens, at least we’re getting some outstanding storytelling!!!
That we are ? I’m just waiting for someone at Netflix to find out about this comic. I mean Netflix already has dark Anthro shows in BoJack and Agretsuko. Why not a series based on Forest Hill?
All I can here is Benjamin’s voice saying, “She’s apologizing the heck outta him!”
And well done, Mr. Campion! That was one of the most touching scenes I’ve enjoyed in a while! Thus it begins and I couldn’t be happier!!! Now I need to read the other comments to see if anyone else is as giddy as I am…
*Clap*clap*clap*clap!*
And I guess I should point out that the Benjamin thing was from the recent release of ‘Peter Rabbit’. Hilarious if you haven’t seen it yet!
I’ve had pet rabbits. They do rub their heads like that as a social thing, although I doubt it’s because they want to say “Sorry.”
It’s cute that their is some animal traits they still have with interaction. Flora’s affection is really cute.
They certainly do! I also like the way they flop down with each other. Used to run an animal rescue/rehab. I was actually looking at getting my Federal certification for raptor rehab but didn’t have the 2 years and $15,000 necessary for the courses and certification. I have rescued dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, opossums, ravens, turtles and so on. Helped with manatee rescue in Florida as well as dolphin. It’s probably one of the reasons that I hold animals in higher regard than humans, but I’m old and working on my curmudgeon status. 😉 They do make an adorable… Read more »
Funny you should say that. I’ve had to rescue animals too…from our or the neighbor’s cats.
To be honest, sometimes I think about trying to get a pet rabbit. I’d probably want to wait till I had my own place though. We have a labradoodle, and I worry about the predatory instincts of one animal causing problems. Maybe I will get one sone day.
Just remember that they are very social creatures an need companionship in order to keep from slipping into depression. Rabbits can be both fragile and resilient, and learning about them and health tips and tricks is always a good idea.
Thanks for the tip. If I were ever to get one, I’d get a companion for it, but make sure they were spayed and neutered. That’s the last thing I want ?
Gahhh! In the last panel, Flora’s smile is so sweet and coy. She is so far ahead of Colin in this. He seems to be not really up on his game, … Possibly because he is recently widowed and not done grieving yet. I hope he steps up to bat and realizes that although society will frown on a Fox-Rabbit relationship, in the long run, everyonw will benefit; on both sides. And Benny could use the help to navagate teen-hood, it’s not all sunshine and belly rubs.
Presumably society might allow an interspecies marriage for hardship cases like theirs. Both have children and only one parent, and neither have extended families.
I was thinking of the Hard Core “It’s Unnatural” group. The kind of folks that insist that love must keep the species “Pure.” The type that think that even Having the bodies that Man gave them is an affront to Man and beast, sinful, shameful, and gah!!!
I hope that Flora’s wonderful sense of freedom from guilt rubs off on Colin. Maybe if they rubbed hands and heads together more often, it would occur faster? …welllll, it is best not to rush things.
