Lol, so cute... and pucky. <^\/^>

Maaaaaaaaagical!

They are like mutant puppies!

if only i could like this comment i would...

Its a endo yinglet

How soft are they? Softer than baby quails?

Sheeit mang we up to chicken levels wit dese things

So maternity for Kass is a no-no, then? ~

BAHAHAH i love this

Just when I thought yinglets couldn't get more ridiculous and cute

Is there no upper bound you maniac?

So, Yinglet babies can walk and climb at just a month old, are adorably fluffy,and have teeth already, but otherwise are just like human babies. Informative!

...really not that different from human babies, really. Just a bit more climblyier.

This was my first thought as well.

Ummm... where did Vizlet's pupils go?

She is constantly looking to the side and has very small pipils so they are easy to miss.

its all fun and games till the baby pukes all over you....

And then it's NOPE all the way through.

OH MY GOD THE BABIES ARE SO PRECIOUS

They’re more adorable than human kids at least.

oh my gosh theyre so fluffyyyyyy <3

Lol yinglets must be awful as teens, or do they never leave that phase? XD

Going from what we seen, I think they're largely perma-teens.

If they didn't grow up to be so blah… I'd probably want to keep one… but for now…

Daaaaaaaaaawwe! Dey are so Kyute. I could DIE!

(Edit: Even the one I'm just now noticing is throwing up. Still cute!)

I noticed Viz doesn't have any pupils in this page, is that because she is about to lay eggs? Oh wait I see them now ><

I thought that too, but nope, they're there. Remember their pupils are slits, so they may be hard to catch, but they're all there.

She's constantly looking to the side.

THAT one will grow up to "Ack" great things!

....what do they eat?

Anything and everything except grain and grain products.
Even when they are freshly hatched.

They're like terrible cats I must hug them and care for them as they ruin my home.

Yay, chick creche! Where you become intimately acquainted with every bodily fluid that your species is capable of producing. And how. Griffin chicks ain't no different. ^.^

Do griffins lay or live birth?

Hah!

Its the ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirle of liiiiiiiiiife and it moves us aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall

Oh my someone has dealt with small children

Indeed.

Yeah, Kass is gonna savor that shower when she gets back home.

Oh, so great!

Whattayah talking about Kass? There's magic all over your left shoulder right now! Take good notes while your at it. Ran's gonna wanna hear about every little excruciating detail.

Omgggg I want a baby Yinglet! ...for maybe a day...

Yeah that magic is gone as soon they barf...

I need more Elim in my life.

Last panel is best gag of the whole page.

I see the encouragement of turning around and never coming back.

Such short little limbs! The growth spurt must be amazing when they get bigger.

The little ones are so cute. That last panel made me laugh too

Poor Kass. ...Oddly, I'm actually talking about panel 3... Not 6.

So like us

ROFL

They are precious! X3

Explanation for the climbey, walking Yinglets babbies:

Human babies take so long to mature to a point of being functional to the group is that human infants are born live and have vbery large brains. They need to start considerably smaller and less developed than in other species in order to compensate for this.

A Yinglet however lays eggs (I don't know if we've been told on how many they lay in a given period, I'm going to guess no more than maybe one or two) and thus bypasses the need for this slow development cycle. Thus, they are able to develop more within the egg in order to be ready sooner for their duties to the social unit.

If I were to hazard a guess, these moth-old Younglets are likewly to mature roughly as fast as domestic house-cats., meaning they'll be doing their part to assist the Enclave within the timeframe of another 3-5 months of development.

As for the Shell Teeth: They probably get born with those. Busting out of their own eggs screeching and flailing.

Mommy genes come with a stretchy front panel. But they don't fit her well yet.

Not Pictured: Ran spying through the open window with a telescope.

Ze babies, very cute.

I fucking knew this will happen xD Ze little babies take her apart

You're NOT a Wizard, Kassy.

The perfect organism

Yeah, it's a good thing Kass never got dragged into running an enclave. He really would go insane.

Oh gods... Baby Barf! xDD

that one going ACK ACK ACK im imagining jontron for some odd reason.

Someone hadn't been around kids much pre-transformation, had they...

That stream as some force to it, and serious weight and volume. That kid's gonna go far in life, you mark my words, I never seen someone who could puke that much fail to get a good managment position, never.

To be honest, they all look special. But they are still adorable! Now that's a weird combination.

*Tries to find words to describe the cuteness and my desperate want of yinglets being real, but fails horribly and just does a thumbs up of approval.*

Yep, this takes me back to my days helping in the nursery, all right. So many reasons to avoid having kids, though I suppose with the yinglet system of dedicated child care individuals, it does reduce the aversion to making more of the little disaster zones.

I said it before, I'll say it now. Yinglets are cute...even their offspring...probably...not so much with being confused as a jungle gym, a barf rag, or a chew toy

Here we have a whole different nearly alien specie, and for some reason it's the all white eyes of ze matriach that irk me to no end. ^^'

I know Kass's pain. One time I went over to a friends house and they had a bunch of baby raccoons since their mother died. They handed one off to me to help take care of them and as soon as the little bastard was in my hands it throw up all over my shirt. Adorable at a distance, not so much up close.

I kinda feel the Younglets in Of Ends and Beginnings were cuter. I think it's cause they aged guest enough. But I like these Younglets too even if they are a little extra barfy. And I was wondering why Kassie kept her hair decorations. Personally I hope she has to go through another Yinglet makeover session soon.

Just wait a few weeks and these younglets will catch up to OE&B.

i bet the magic is it smells like clam chowder

"Can you FEEEL ZHE MAAAAAGICS, MISS KAAAAAAAAAAASSSS?"

The yellow one reminds me of Bill the Cat.

So, they act like literally every other baby animal on the face of the planet.

Not exactly something I would call "rare."

I like that their entire body is very thick and stubby compared to the adults. I gotta say though...For being on guard with the yinglets as much as they claim, the open window that anyone could look into is kinda startling xD But they do have a nanny in there, so I guess worst case someying can scream for guards if there's a ferocious baby yinglet eating predator.

That reminds me actually. How old are those yinglets? How big are yinglet eggs? They are pretty big kids, so if they are newly hatched, I fear for the poor ladies' backs xD

D`awwwww. Tiny fuzzy babbies.

YINGLETLETS

Gee, they're just like one year old humans.

After this MAGICAL moment, I think Lopin is going to get another round of throttling from Kass.

Just as we imagined them to be.

so what a yinglet baby are call?

Younglets, I thought...

I don't know if it is official, but that is what I and a lot of other fans call them.

So, do we get to see Vizlet baby pictures?

"Ack, Ack!"
-- Bill the Yinglet.

I swear Kass's default state is not amused.

Single guy reaction to babies, yep. No surprises there

And barf on shoulder! Ah, memories... and you're lucky if you get "shoulder", mine found my mouth once.

And demanding "uppie"... this stage can last for years!

I feel for you man with the barf i got bit on the leg by my nephew who's only two years

I have a friend in Germany. This friend once babysat some neighbors' kids, four of them from 6 to 2. And for some goddamn reason every single one of them tried to eat him alive. As in biting him and/or coming at him with fork and knife. Upon telling the neighbors he would not be coming back and why, they were flabbergasted. They had never done that to anyone before, including previous babysitters. I'm guessing some people like my friend and Kass are just nommable.

oh my god they are so freaking adorable can I have one

Kass is just so done.

I like post anger Kass that's just so done with it all she can get vomited on by a baby Yinglet and not flinch.

ACK ACK ACK

Heh....

Just wait for your first cycle. :P

Ack ack ack!
This one will be an excellent translator for Mars!

Oh my God they are adorable

Just think of what would happen if they DIDN'T like you

The Younglets are Adorablets!

i did not expect the babies to be that fluffy like at all lol. also i forget are matriarchs inherently more intelligent than normal yinglets or was it purely here own studying that has made her not totally nuts like the rest?

The matriarch is the most capable female yinglet, so Vizlet is special to begin with.

OMG! baby yings!!!! they are so floofy! so bitey! so pukey!

look how fluffy the little ones are, like chinchillas.

I can't wait the hear Kas' thought on the differences. Too bad Kas won't have many nice things to stay.

So "magical", one can practically feel the love spilling out.. oh wait, nope that's vomit.:/

Aww, the younglets are adorable! My favorite is the orange one!

As far as I can tell, only one of them really likes her. The others might just like... Well... I am sure its just Yigglet...

Hold on... They are Yiggletlets!

D'aww?

Yikes "special" by Yinglet standards is very special indeed. That one is going to grow up to be Bill the Cat.

Those younglets remind me more than a little of a time I came across a nest of vulture chicks. They were white fluffballs with black beaks and faces, and they hissed and spit if I got too close...

Sooo... I finally got around to reading through your stuff, and it's even better than I anticipated it would be. I think I first noticed it because of a yinglet pic by  ecmajor about a year and a half ago. It is much to your credit as a creator of species and characters that I immediately felt like I "Got" them, and found them compelling.

I really appreciate the worldbuilding aspect of OOPs. I love when somebody creates a world that is so cohesive and has such internal logic that they can tell a story and continue to drop little details that add to it and continue to flesh it out in a way that isn't clumsy. This is a real credit to your writing- being able to pace it so well from the very beginning. And your art continues to improve. Your talent with expressions is particularly sharp.

I also find your approach to TF stories far more compelling than the vast majority of stuff out there, which usually concentrates merely on the physical aspects. What you are doing is much more on the lines of the best of sci-fi and fantasy, where you use the shtick of TF to explore deeper speculative themes, general mindfuck, and of course humor, which just may be where you're most brilliant.

In any case, I'm enjoying the heck out of your work. OOPs and LAM are classics, and the yinglets are obviously a genius creation. -The amount of fan art is an obvious testament to that. You've created another fun twist on the theme with Griffany as well... Keep it up, you've got another devoted fan!

They just hatched why not call them Hatchlets?

I think you nailed how children act. XD Kids are just adults with less experience.

Considering what adult yinglets are like, this is pretty much what one should expect.

I like the pretty albino nurse.

Ack ack ack! :D
Praise Ack-let!

I can respect Vizlet for the reason that she wants to recognize her species downfalls so she can improve upon them. One thing people need to realize is that they are not perfect. They need to know that they make mistakes, and if they don't, then that's a mistake in of itself and they won't learn.

Yeesh. That vomit looks like a sticky paste. Did he eat glue?

Don't know if cute, or scary.

Vizlet is a heck of a lot better at looking at her faults than I am.
