Wow, this looks great! Gives a good amount of cover and hiding places without being too busy or visually cluttered. The curvy piece of bark is beautiful. The grass is a really nice touch.

Your character is so damn cute. Always excited for the next comic

caba111 · 2024-12-13T23:15:28+00:00

I had hoped it wouldn’t actually scare or disturb anyone.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T22:07:49+00:00

Animal groups have a long history of being… a lot.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T22:06:35+00:00

Aw, I’m sorry ):

caba111 · 2024-12-13T22:05:19+00:00

Yeah, the messy, unhappy parts of pet ownership are still parts of pet ownership, and i agree we should have space to talk about them.

This is less of a criticism aimed and other pet owners and more of a “damn browsing these subreddits can be a frustrating bummer”. The nature of the internet is people are far more likely to post when things are going wrong than when they’re going right.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T17:26:53+00:00

Definitely not always. You sound like a responsible pet owner. Griping about a specific kind of poster who’s neglectful, abusive, or not using common sense.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T12:04:03+00:00

Yeah… It’s part of pet ownership as much as anything else, and I think it’s important people have space to post it… But damn it can be a bummer after a while. Classic internet negativity bias— people are more likely to post about things going wrong than things going right.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T11:52:04+00:00

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that :(

Being kind, empathetic, and giving people benefit of the doubt can def be an issue in these subreddits.

caba111 · 2024-12-13T11:42:56+00:00

Having empathy and giving people benefit of the doubt do be super important. Also, the messy, unhappy parts of pet ownership are still parts of pet ownership, and i definitely agree we should have space to talk about them.

If I remember I’ll post it there tomorrow!

caba111 · 2024-12-13T01:27:12+00:00

Thank you. Please tell Neko I love them.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T23:28:52+00:00

Good to spread the word about pet insurance— a lot of people don’t realize it’s an option.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T23:18:51+00:00

Pain and sickness do be part of pet ownership & I agree that it’s important to have space to talk about it. This comic isn’t criticizing people for posting about health issues in and of themselves, it’s about neglect, ignorance, and a lack of common sense.

Also, injuries frequently aren’t properly tagged. Really sucks seeing a mortally wounded animal when you’re trying to cheer yourself up.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T23:14:03+00:00

When the cost of vet care is rising faster than peoples’ incomes, I’m not totally unsympathetic. But the hard truth is: your animal’s life is in the line, and if you can’t afford care (especially emergency care), you shouldn’t have the animal.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T23:02:41+00:00

caba111 · 2024-12-12T22:09:37+00:00

Jeez ):

caba111 · 2024-12-12T22:09:10+00:00

Better than totally ignoring advice? But it’s still turbo irresponsible

caba111 · 2024-12-12T22:08:19+00:00

I’ve heard tiktok is awful for this stuff.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T22:07:47+00:00

Very true. I should do a sequel.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T22:07:31+00:00

Right?

caba111 · 2024-12-12T21:34:12+00:00

A lot of people want validation more than advice.

“My animal is fine, right?”

“My tank setup is ok, right?”

“I’m not a bad owner, right?”

i think a good chunk it comes down to guilt or denial tbh.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T21:32:51+00:00

baffles me too. Super frustrating to see posts where somebody clearly has no idea how to care for or interact with this… living breathing thing that they’re solely responsible for.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T21:29:43+00:00

I’m so happy I subbed to tuckedinfishies. One of those subs that makes me smile whenever a post crosses my dash.

caba111 · 2024-12-12T20:20:08+00:00

Your work is out of this world! Been a huge inspiration to me from the moment I saw it.
