Indeed! Less than half of the yinglet population has hair a different color from their fur (and some don't have 'hair' at all); it's considered to be highly cultured, so many dye their heads with whatever ingredients they can afford or find.
This often leads to them having oddly-smelling hair.

Haha- aside from their inability to pronounce a "th" sound (which some choose to pronounce "da" rather than "za"), their speech patterns are a bit all over the place, due to them picking up general street talk from wherever they dwell. I'll have the chance to illustrate this a bit better in the near future...
In fact, biting is a central part of yinglet socialization! There's bites for fights, bites for romantic liaisons, bites to let some know they're your BFF, wake-up bites, goodnight bites, disagreement bites and just plain bite bites.
Angry bites are generally done with their long front shell-opening tooth, playful ones are mostly done with the little fangs in the back of their mouths, and friendly ones are done in the soft space between the front and back teeth. To someone without fur, that last one would feel a lot like an old toothless person gnawing at you with their gums.

After about ten minutes of trying, I've found a way to make the 'th' sound without letting your tongue pass your front tooth/teeth. It's hard to explain, but you put your tongue right where the back side of your front teeth meet your gums and try to make the sound from that position. You also have to keep a bit of distance between your tongue and that spot for air to go through, and then after the sound, you have to pull your tongue back to form further vowels.
You know what? Scratch what I originally said. What I really like about this page is Kassen re-learning how to speak. It seems like such a trivial thing that movies gloss over it as something unimportant to address, but seriously. If you change into a different animal, how is it possible that you're perfectly able to communicate with your new larynx right away? Of course, in this case, it's not necessarily Kass has a new larynx, since yinglets can speak English too, it's the teeth arrangement, which is probably why he catches on rather quickly. However, in the process of learning to speak again, I would think he would have noticed something different about his voice…
I find it intriguing that Kass feels undignified speaking the way of the yinglet. It's as if he finds it degrading, despite the fact that he's shown his appreciation for the younger race.
Also, I love the facial expressions in the bottom two panels.
