sure it was

I'm in central Europe and I have to add a day every time the fucker updates
It's wed-sat mid-morning for me

Lily's skill exp gain is too OP pls nerf

so in addition to Tuna's unhealthy bottled up mother issues Poppy might have to deal with her girlfreind's nasty habit of bottling herself up working on her projects
i bet that days will go by and by the time Poppy goes to confront her her Kit will profusely apologize for missing dinner unaware shes been holed up for days

That's what happens when you learn the fundamentals, you become a master of the arts, a king, a God, a mother-fucking celestial.

she's also fueled by spite

>fundamentals
What is this? Some kind of sex position?

I don't like this Lily as an artist development. She's better than this.

>She's better than this.
Post your work.

>kissing on the lips

And if there's one thing that motivates artists more than self-loathing and depression, it's definitely SPITE.

You autistic retard, instead of wasting her time drawing, she should be spending her time working on her engineering skills or being a doctor.

Anything but an artist.

Maybe she's gonna be a Renaissance Woman, learning art is just a good start.

>engineering skills or being a doctor
Oh yeah, a lot of demand for THAT in the work place.

>Kit gets absorbed by her work
>Poppy starts feeling neglected
>Shit will fall apart fast up to a point where Kit catches Poppy in a messy drunken threesome with Tuna and Mary
The start of a realistic lesbian relationship.

Its not like lily can actually get better than morbi...

This is clearly a stepping stone to her becoming an entomologist. Look at what she's drawing besides her moms.

>autistic retard,
Redundant.

>She does
>Morbi stares at something they couldn't possibly have drawn but there it is
>Morbi slowly loses their shit
>Morbi gets absorbed by the Hypercrisis

As a recently dropped-out engineering student I can tell you you're very wrong

>He fell for the STEM meme
ha

My life has even less meaning than it did before

Anyway how's this gonna end up for poppy? It was pretty clear from the start that shit would go down

It's actually a pretty good idea. Artists can make a huge cultural impact in a relatively short amount of time and often do die young, whereas scientists can spend decades on a single project and she'd be elderly by the time she got out of medical school and actually started to practice.

This might have taken 30 years, but it was all worth it.

I don't get man. This ship should be boner-inducing for me, but I feel nothing. Why can't I take this seriously?

An opossum doctor would also be a huge cultural impact.

How long until implied sex?

I demand canonical girlsex.

Because it's obvious they have relationship problems that prevent this from being a healthy relationship.

Morbi drew all of it for himself, and not sharing.

Possum's gotta learn fast if they want to accomplish anything before they die.

...

I just want the comic to imply that they actually spent the night together at some point. I am not expecting the explicit.

But I thought Morbi was a shitty little Pomeranian

>they
please don't encourage him

>Lily becomes a tulpa and starts backseat drawing/critiqueing Morbi so hard he can no longer update Poppy or even finish a single sketch

it's almost like 99% of relationships are normal stuff and not kink porn for you to jack off too

>kissing
I did not really see them as an actual couple before now. I thought they were just hanging out and being KINDA gay but not, like, fullblown gay. Like a bromance. They're really going for it.

I thought it was supposed to take a jab at the fans. Now I know it was an actual thing.

this page feels a little bit like the way the comic did a few years ago and I don't really know why. Maybe it's the progression or something.

Mainly, it just makes me feel bad that Morbi doesn't really seem to like his own webcomic anymore, or at least lost most of his passion for it. It's just kinda there, and sometimes he feels like working on it and sometimes he doesn't.

You know, after the thousandth hiatus and coming back seeing it fresh, I'm not quite sure what I saw in this. I thought I liked the characters, but they're kind of all looking like broad anime tropes now. And not in a self-aware way, either.

Cute world, though.

>Lily's improved drawings lined up next to each panel to show a progression of time
Not bad.

I see Mrs Lamm changed her nail polish color, but I think that red suited her better.

>In which relationship have their ups and downs.

Really sucks for Poppy and Kit though.
Kit can't push off working on her father's magic cancer cure since as Fantomet said, they need results or else Renard won't live much longer. Also there's the whole Kit is afraid her family will blame her for his death if she fails and she'll blame herself.
Poppy meanwhile literally can't do anything to help Kit in that regard. In a fight she can solve her problems by punching them away, but unless she can cure magic cancer by punching it away (which if it were possible that would be a hilarious sight) she can only watch and wait.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Poppy and Kit deal with the various issues their relationship is gonna have. Hell we haven't even gotten to how the rest of the Darling family sees them.

Also I removed the text boxes in this scene since I loved it so much.

I mean, honestly, that's what motivates all artists. Even self spite.

boooooooooooooooooring

>That mantis sketch

Also Kit doesn't really seem to care about possums, she just cuts Poppy off when she's telling her plans how to improve their lives. I guess she was just virtue signaling?

Aww, cute lesbians.
I can't wait until one of them dies.

>drawing the actual shape you see and not what you think something looks like

you go from 0 to 70% real quick, the last 30 takes decades

...

>Lily gets her tutor to draw pictures of her Poppy and claims she drew them
Cheating opossum scum.

I know that pain as well.

Did the middle drawing remind anyone else of

I'm not getting that at all. Hallia mentioned that Kit made, in her own words, a very extensive list of Queen Darlings Proposals for Better Opossum Living.

Here's what this page is telling me.

The first main panel is showing Kit and Poppy when things are normal and it shows they have lots of genuine affection and love for one another.

The second and third main panels shows Poppy being enthusiastic at her job and we see her at dinner talking to Kit about it. Kit however realized that some samples in her lab need to either be looked at or get ready for analysis or whatever and she needs to leave in a hurry. They say their I love you's but Poppy seems to be a bit bummed out she won't be able to talk to Kit about her job.

The fourth main panel in my mind is either Poppy just doing some training with Petunia and Borris to show she's still doing that during this "montage", or that judging by her face and Borris's grimace, she's taking her frustration from the previous panel out on him.

The last panel shows Poppy and Lily waiting for Kit to come to dinner but she's too busy on her cure to come.

This page is meant to show what their relationship is like. When that cure business isn't around it's really great. They love each other and love being in each others company. However the cure research can't be ignored by Kit. Since it takes up so much time to do, she has to take time away from other things to work on it.

Unfortunately and likely unavoidably, she has to cut back on being with Poppy and Lily, and even though as the first panel and the first part of this chapter showed that even though Poppy and Kit on their own have a strong relationship, outside factors can and will put a damper on it.

Honestly I'm a bit impressed with Morbi with this update.

Morbi's writing can be dodgy on a macro scale, but his characterization has always been pretty strong. I feel like I know everything I need to about the possum in panel two even though she only has two throwaway lines, just from things like the way she answers the door from behind the security chain.

oh, I haven't kept up with this. I thought they just pretending to be in love.

Is Kit dating Poppy partially because she's a self-hating possum? It'd be like dating an Uncle Tom, I suppose.

She is dating Poppy because possums are the only things she can see clearly and Poppy protected her when she needed it.

reminder that Kit is a dick.

They played fennec football on a room-sized bed. What more do you want, Kit with an oversized T-shirt and sex hair?

If anyone can make the hinting come off in a cute, subtle and less stereotypical way, it's Morbi. There's a great opportunity here.

Fuck Morbi that's really sad.

Where

Sketch in my post was on the chibi chaser tumblr.

Since Lily drew a mantis in today's update I can't help but think of the chibi chaser pic whenever I look at it. It's one of tgweavers characters named Elinda.

I want beetle queen Lily to be a reality.

Morbi.
MORBI.

STOP IT.

>implying I need kink porn to get off to romance

I have two boners user. One in my pants and one in THE HEART and they're both limp.

>Lily becomes a Tulpa that them manages to emerge fully formed from Morbi's forehead, killing him in the process
>Morbi is now Lily's tulpa

MOOOORRRRIIIISSOOOOOONNNNNNNNN

I feel as though I'm missing something. What am I looking at here..?

>girls kissing

pretty gay to be quite honest.

>You'll never be the sparring partner for a muscular short-stack milf with flat chested complex.

Here, user...have this gun, I already loaded it for you.

Jabroni

Lily is getting gud real fast at drawing. The girl has talent.

you're treading into dangerous territory user.

Morbi said the comic is aimed at kids.
Doubt he will imply any sex in it. Just have to use your imagination, user.

>Lily is already a better artist than me
Fucking Possums man.

The actual words on the site are "recommended for ages 12+"

What's this furry nonsense?

Take it to Sup Forums

What game is this?

Used to be 10+, seems like Morbs changed it after Kit's "fucking doofus" line.

No, I think it's just not an exciting pairing. I can't speak for the other user but I get nothing out of this ship.

Oh good, we now return to Kit Darling, the comic.

Fundamentally, Kit is an egotist that lives in the shadow of her family, and is able to exploit her position as a princess to get the selfish love that she wants.

She only cares about Opossums because she can see them, I don't see her caring that her subjects are oppressed under a racially canine-dominated empire.

Poppy is a gold-digger, who is more than happy to let Kit live out her fantasies, since that means money and comfort.

Poppy is a comic that thrives because everyone looks nice but is actually a terrible person.

I personally read the comic because the art is nice, but not because everyone is secretly terrible.

I'm not even completely sure Morbi KNOWS he's made them all terrible.

How is Poppy a gold digger for ensuring her daughter has a secure future with an affluent parent, knowing she'll be dead in a few years?

For exactly the reasons you've stated.

She's not a terrible person, but she is self-interested.

"Gold Digger" doesn't really imply they don't have a reason for doing it, user.

>I don't see her caring that her subjects are oppressed under a racially canine-dominated empire.
...Are they? The only people we've seen even mention it is an obvious supremacist group. Everyone else seems pretty blasé about it.

Sure everything looks bad if you look at it from just a single perspective and assume ulterior motives. The truth is, much like real life its a lot more complicated than that. Kit wants to do good, likely because she wants to feel good but she also clearly has shown to put others above her own feelings for what she believes is right.

Of course, these actions she believes to be right have consequences she likely didn't foresee because that's just how things generally go and she has to deal with that on top of the previous obligation of helping her own family. She also doesn't seem like the type of person who would even want to be in the position as a ruler but since she is she does use that power for something that could be perceived as more selfish, like attempting to rectify what she believes are previous wrongs of her people to help possums. Being selfish doesn't makes you a bad person, but it probably has caused Kit to have a particular tunnel vision that doesn't allow her to notice the other problems as much. This is all just theory crafting though, and I am interested to see how these things might be handled.

It's almost like the comic itself has already explored these themes.

Also yeah basically this. It mostly just depends on whether you agree or not.

here I actually kind of forgot this entire conversation took place. I'm still wondering how many non-possum related policies and problems Kit has had to deal with.

I think the worldbuilding wednesday about the Fenneclands said that things actually got better under Canine control.

Right now I would assume their economy is in a freefall due to the sudden need to import power.

And Teen Titans Go shits on itself for not being as good as Teen Titans. Do people give that a free pass too?

Self-awareness does not nullify a problem.

>Do people give that a free pass too?
I do. I like TTG. I will never understand the hate it gets.

>Do people give that a free pass too?
Sup Forums does.

I like aspects of it, but I don't ignore the blatant issues and bad episodes.

Generally speaking, nah. Sup Forums rages over the show.

I don't think anyone said it did.
