I love Lopin's reaction as he has no clue what is going on. Or loses it just as fast as he gets it.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😂
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😂😂😂😂😂
Eee-Yuck... Major did you really need to go there? xDD
i don't understand, but somehow i think i should be glad i don't understand.

Upon retrospect, I think it makes sense that Yannit would still scare people. Unlike the Yinglets, Baxxid and whatever Isher's race is, it was established that Indrel typically live among their own hives and become extremely violent when separated from them for long periods of time.
As such, they probably don't make a habit of living within the city, thus making them a rare sight.

Lopin with some focus will make a very good advisor if they can pick up that with so little.
You know I wonder if lopin made that connection so quickly because he wears his clothes for a similar purpose. There's a different motivation behind it obviously but I can see a yinglet like him deciding to create his outfit and try to work in the city as a "merchant" because he wanted to be seen as more human than his peers.
What an odd thought.
I found myself trying to imagine which of the internal voices from Disco Elysium would've given Kass that passive check to redirect.

Have to imagine volition. Maybe with suggestion backing it up with that 'redirect.'
Meanwhile, Lopin's half-light is working overtime.

There was a YouTube channel with the early strips dubbed in, with a high pitched squeaky voice for Lopin.
Was Kass a feline in their former life? They always seem to land on their emotional feet even if they don't stay there for all that long
I think it's a side effect of being a war veteran. That, and having helped raise his younger siblings helps her adjust on the fly.
I remember them being a war veteran but I did not know that they had younger siblings. Most thing I remember about the whole War veteran thing is that they have a brother and arms that they fight against lopin for attention
I'm picturing a sort of 'open glove' more than a shoe. With the weight all going to the cushioned pads putting anything supportive along the joints would be cumbersome I think. The claws would also make any sort of fully enclosed garment less ideal. While weight would be the biggest issue of all, even thin leather may be more than they could comfortably handle unless they were the larger stronger breeds.
Shoes are kinda all about protection both above some but more so below, but no material could be light enough to prevent a toe crushing that could also be comfortably lifted by a Yinglet while something covering their pads fully would be kinda overdoing what nature already has done. So just a light 'shoe top' to give the appearance while being either fully open on the bottom or with full holes to allow claws and pads through seems the best bet.
Course they could have some things we're unaware of yet. Would be pretty awesome if some kind of super light bug shell could be made into functional boots for a Yinglet. :D OR those moonshoe things from the 90s! They were deathtraps when I wore them as a kid. *laughs at the memories* But maybe suitably small ones could work for Yinglets. Or those sort of 'stilt sandals' I've seen in some anime with an extra long slat of wood in the center for the wearer to balance on. Considering Yinglet feet are basically hands they could even make a sort of rubber ball with indents for pads and claws to sink into and then just bounce along on them.

A flexible glove design with thicker leather at the palm and toe pads might work well.
Yeah, I was picturing something like a fingered Sandle myself.
Nice ideas!
We've seen that Yinglets use the grasping qualities of their feet all the time, either for picking up objects (remember the 'book-goblin'?) or for climbing. So I think any form of footwear that gets in the way of those nimble little digits doing their thing is going to be a major hindrance. Perhaps Kass could be content with some lightweight spats or similar, just as a nod to his human heritage?

Walking mittens like the split toe shoe that the ninjas wore. Since the yinglet foot has a thumb doing a mitten would be better than a shoe and still be thick for protection from weather.
Usually I get rather detailed on ideas... For some reason my mind goes more to a spat like Scrooge McDuck.
Kass is wanting something that looks more human. More of a cover.

Exactly what I was thinking when I said a 'shoe top' but yeah his spats are an excellent example thank you.
We get to see Kass smiling so seldom that when he actually does, it lights up the whole page!
Also, I have a hard time picturing a yinglet in shoes. Tall, thin BOOTS, on the other hand...
(Also, Lopin still freaking out at the sight of Yannit. So adorable. XD)

Unlike Kass, who saw them all the time because of his duties, Lopin never saw a giant bug before meeting Yannit
Still... tall thin yinglet boots. Maybe with open toes. Just throwing that out there~.
This make me wonder how sneaky Kass would be in traditional Ninja Tabi?
On an unrelated note~ I thought Lopin was over being scared of Yannit?

Yannit's one of those characters who if she was drawn realistically you'd instantly realize why everyone's terrified of her.
The shoes would have to be a lot more like gloves than traditional shoes but it might be doable, especially considering the seamstresses great success with Yannit.
Lopin rolled that nat 20 at perception😄... then someone clicked on 'Em and entered a cheat code, toggling "EEE" mode on, how brutal. Just look at them, eyes bigger than the face They're so terrified!
I swear, my mental voice for Lopin is Mort from the All Hail King Julien series. I don't know why...
And for that, I will curse you with reading Yannit's dialogue with Gollum as your inner voice.
WAAAAAYYYY ahead of you. Since you're obviously in my mind, I should probably warn you: there is some real weird stuff in there, it's not even slightly OSHA compliant, make sure you're near a guardrail at all times, don't stray from the lighted areas, and watch your step.
No marked pathways? That's not even non-compliant, that's just negligent.
Yeah...everything was kinda just thrown together however it would fit. There's vending machines, but only the ones with Lance cheese crackers and Tom's brand potato chips work. You can just break the glass on the other ones. They fix themselves. Kinda worth it for the brown sugar Pop-Tarts.
I love how yinglet mouthes go all wiggly when they scream. :3
Any part of them that expresses surprise gets wiggly
This includes the skull

Perhaps a fingerless glove. Sort of the best of both worlds kind of thing.
Awww poor Lopin, big hug!

Kassen wisely reins in her morbid curiosity regarding the hazardous knowledge.
Lopin's poured all his character points into Intuition and Charisma, at the expense of everything else.
Yannit is innocently terrifying. I remember some fanfiction about a friendly xenomorph being staggeringly endearing.
Thank you for keeping the caravan train of the story moving along! This world is in good claws.

"Dumb except for the things he is smart about" kind of describes most named yinglets we've seen, doesn't it. They tend to be actually quite competent in their particular field of expertise and...well, yinglets everywhere else.
Also, Yannit keeps freaking out Yinglets. I wonder if it's some kind of instinctive reaction, like how humans are still evolutionarily primed to recoil from snakes.

I love the apparent genuine joy and happiness Kass has for Yannit. Like, she's actually happy about it.
Jeez, this was such a fun read, I binged this since waking up too! XD I can't wait to see more of this as I'm loving it so much, honestly it's just teeming with so many awesome things!
Oh awesome! Glad this was entertaining enough to justify a binge!
Yello, OOPs folk! I'm here to remind you once again that there's a place called "Top Web Comics" https://www.topwebcomics.com/?home=3 that compiles comics from various places. There's a bunch of cool stuff there. They have monthly votes, so you can support OOPs there. You can vote once a day per device, so your PC, laptop, tablet, phone, etc.
I've noticed that you can sometimes even get in extra votes from different IP addresses, or if you're disconnected from your IP and open up again later.
The total for last month was 896 votes and 85th place. It's currently at 855 votes and 65th place. The highest it's reached is 36th place, and the top vote getters seem to end up with something close to 20,000 votes.
Vote early, vote often! Help OOPs get noticed!

sikfock666, how about posting the request on DeviantArt and Valsalia’s forum?
I'm not on DA and don't plan to be. I'm not especially fond of the site, and their UI is abysmal.
As far as Val's forum, I only have so much time, and haven't looked at his site much. I watch his work here.
Feel free to post things yourself, of course. I sort of picked this up from you in the first place.

Posted a callout to TWC on DA but I can’t get on Val’s forum to save my life.
I read the forum and other people mention there is a problem with the security. It seems to be fairly "weak"...FA and DA may have fifty comments on a strip and his site may have only five, for example.
Hmm. Still might want to ask him what's up.
Oh you mean the under-page comments? Yeahhh security is tight and kinda wonky but is the only thing I've tried that has kept out an immediate flood of Russian bot spam, for whatever reason : P
In the early stages of a spiral down into weirdness, you don't notice the gradual increase in acceleration...
Heh...Lopin's still scared of Yannit huh? Or Yannit keeps appearing out of nowhere.
I feel as if Yinglet shoes would actually be a couple of coconuts they hold onto and clop around with.
My gosh, it looks like the seamstresses are going to get even more screen time. They’re like the most frequent recurring side characters as if it’s a TV show. Meanwhile the librarian and Head Surgeon Merrs have only had around two appearances each (I’m not counting singular pages but sequences of pages they’ve been in).
Also, yinglet shoes… 🤔💭

Lopin has an extremely narrow zone of competence, but within those limits, he's very good.
Finally, the best bug gal of the series is back there, yeah! Go go Yannit!
The dichotomy of yinglet.
Lopin: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Kass: Oh hi Yannit!
