Nice

Ooo, Thylacine. Those are rare. Very nice.

I agree! It's always lovely to see a thylacine!

Does the rent money go to her, or to someone else? Landlord if former, manager if latter.

Also, oftentimes, if it's small enough, the landlord will live onsite, and they have to call for all of the repairs, etc. but otherwise, like in my case, we have Building managers for a company of several apartments that live on-site, but we have no idea where the actual landlords are.

The last apartment I was in was actually owned by the local housing authority, and it had a manager, but she didn't live on site.

Dutchie to the rescue!

Capitalisation rules for surnames with the word van in them:

When the full name is written a lowercase letter is used:

Olivia van der Sar

Or when initials are used:

O. van der Sar

When neither are used a capital letter is used on the first 'tussenvoegsel' (inbetween bit):

Mrs. Van der Sar

Miss Van der Sar

However if she is Belgian capitalisation of the first inbetween is always used:

Olivia Van der Sar

Of course, this only goes for Dutch capitalisation rules. If she's not dutch then really anything goes.

Anyway, really enjoying the new comic Rick, keep it up!

Thank you! I think I've been working on the assumption that she's of Dutch descent, but it's probably not going to come up in the comic too often since the text balloons are all capital . . . oh, and she uses the honorific "Ms."

Either way you gave me an opportunity to make my highschool grammar teacher proud. ;)

This is the superpower he gets in exchange for having to compute with a Dutch version of Windows that introduces tiny bizarre programming quirks to everything.

Playing an FPS? All clips only half full.
Typing in Word? All numbers upside down.
Browsing FA? Background goes plaid every 9th page.
Google Search? Half of the results are from an alternate Earth where manatees invaded Brazil back in the 60s.

It's fucking bizarre.

Isn't there a joke about "Van" being the buttmonkey in lots of jokes...usually in a "Oh what a silly Mister Bean type person" kind of way?

Or is that more a Suid Afrikaan thing?

Good sheet.

Tali wants to invite Olivia over for a swim. She needn't bother with a suit...

Babies, now in a Friction-Fit model? :D

Regarding the upside-down pouch, wombats have those do. In their case its because they are digging animals. If they had a regular pouch they would shovel the dirt right in there. Maybe the reason is similar for Tasmanian tigers.

Of course, while that works in a four-legged shape, in an anthro character that would make for for all sorts of problems.

Why is the pouch upside down?

Because that's the orientation on an actual thylacine

Never heard of that creature before.

they were pretty cool!

She's lovely :3

The upside down pouch of the thylacine works because thylacine's are/were quadrupeds - since the pouch faced backwards nothing got snagged on it or inside it as they ran through the bush.

Objectivist as in Ayn Rand-follower? Because when Randians are religious it's always amusingly oxymoronic :P

The downward facing pouch seems a bit odd on an anthro, but otherwise good work. I know that's the orientation on a real one, but since it's lost it's use since they evolved this way, I would think either it would be much smaller than this, or have changed to remain useful. ...Unless it has some feature that allows it to work even when open on the bottom?

*waves* Hiya, one more just in tha background as usual ^.^
I am glad there are more around as well and we may not be as popular as foxes, but still, we're around...somewhere.

Yup, like ninja, but only stealthier. Not sure but probable sources could say we might have the the SEP (Someone Else's Problem) chemical in our bloodstream :D

Religion-hopper. Interesting. I wonder what would motivate that?

Two gals in your comic that are Marsupials. There is comedy potential here, I just know it.

Upside-down pouch or even no pouch at all can work if teats swell inside babies' mouths.

I have a pouch idea. She's with a partner and she's letting them explore between her legs. "Wanna see something neat?" -stuff their head in the pouch-

Seams a bit cold, but very beautiful. Interesting lady indeed.

...yeah, I think Talia and her would get along well. X3

I suspect the skin tension would be enough to hold something small inside that pouch.
