The morning wakes, well for two at least,
as Kaya kips on, atop the table.
Kai will wake her later after his Apple
and I’m sure her reaction will be stable.
An apple hardly contains protein, Kai,
to fuel you in the coming day.
I hope you’ve got enough energy
or you’ll doze upon your school lunch tray.
A letter for Dad of some importance;
I hope it’s not from the video censor.
Seeing the language recorded last week
is usually from by the water dispenser…
I see Kaya is a morning girl XD
That’s not a good letter : as the department knows that the Romero family comes from a rural town ; surely it will be a medical/sanitary visit to check if the twins have no minor diseases , fleas and such ^_^”
I think it’s more a mandatory exam to see what, if any, special medical needs the twins have. Plus it probably contributes to the baseline for understanding hybrid biology. Especially considering they’re mythics, no guarantee they’ll see another dragon hybrid this generation.
Department of Health also run hygiene checks on Restaurants and cooking facilities. But, as the title refers to a common phrase about Doctors, I think Kai and Kaya are off on a trip, yes…
Department of health checks restaurants for the first opening to see if all is fine , then time to time for pure food ; not during the renovations . That’s why i bet for a visit to Kaya and Kai ………. with sure funny moments ^_^
The strip’s title is probably a good clue also! 😉
Kaya just loves mornings xD
Doesn’t have to be a bad letter, though :p
Who sleeps near their bowl of cereal in the morning?
It’s an improvement. This time the cereal is in a bowl.
The founder of the Sleep-Until-Noon Club.
Me?? 😉
Some Italian variety sneaked over in Grandma’s suitcase when she first visited. 😉
Kaya does so regularly in the morning xD
Hopefully it’s an all clear from the Health Department and he can get to actually opening his restaurant. Also, what kind of apple was Kai nomming on? The old standard Red Delicious, Braeburn, Pacific Rose, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Jonathan, Jonagold, maybe a variety that’s been available here in the states for a few years now – Snapdragon? Oh, one for Rex too: Wolf River, though that one’s hard to come by. Heh, I like apples!

(Please delete the duplicate post “Replied” to my own comment above! …oops… 🙂 )
I didn’t know about the snapdragon and the wolf river. Learned something new xD
I would imagine Pink Lady is very popular among these two dragons, since those are really sweet :p
Wolf River is an older variety but seems very picky about it’s growing conditions. Seems to prefer colder climates too. The closest I’ve ever come to one of those here in Oklahoma was a tree for sale at one of the local home improvement stores. Snapdragon was developed at Cornell University in New York and it’s only been available for a few years here. It’s a very good apple so hopefully it’ll become popular enough that maybe in a couple more years you may start seeing it available over there in your markets.
Why are the links to this arc and the last at the top when they should be at the bottom?
What web browser are you using? It looks fine to me.
Running Android myself and I can confirm: the chapter links start with 8 and then 1-7 in order. I don’t personally mind it though
Aah, the joys of web development xD
Even with a simple thing like wordpress, it still finds ways to not do what it’s supposed to do. I’ll get it fixed :p
Ooh, a delicious apple!

Everyone likes bapples
Yeah, such a nice apple. Definitely not poisoned ^^
Is the city called ‘hybrid city’? That latter label is just odd otherwise
It is. It’s called Hybrid City.
Please confirm for me robin, please tell me there is a street called electric avenue.
There is an Electric Avenue in my home town, Southend, Essex, UK.

Oh boy. If this is a doctor’s visit, for SOME reason I have the impression Kaya won’t be too happy about it. Also raises the question: if the twins do have dragon scales crossed with their skin, what kind of needle does a doctor have to be using for them to get a shot? Pretty sure your standard flimsy disposable hypodermic is just gonna snap against that. If not then that’s gotta suck trying to find a doctor with THAT steady of a hand. Either way an interesting turn that I didn’t really expect to see. How common is it for an artist to incorporate something as mundane as a doctor’s visit into a story without some kind of major trauma? Just another example of me being blindsided by Robin’s seemingly superhuman attention to detail and realism. Keep it up. As always, stay awesome!
A kind of needle to go through normal scales , or to go here where the scales are thin …….. Yes , i mean “here” ^_^”
The needle thing might be addressed later in the chapter :p
And thanks 😀 I like putting a nice spin on the mundane. Slice of life is something I love working with since you can do stuff like this and give it such nice spins ^^
Kai’s dad gets some mail
From the city’s health Nazis
Will they shut him down?
They’re “health Nazis” until the city gets hit with a typhus/cholera/tuberculosis outbreak.
Then they are “incompetent city officials”.
A letter arrives.
It shouldn’t be terrible;
Only a checkup.
…
Or a bad surprise!
It’s unannounced inspections!
It will not be fine!
Inspector: “Mr. Romero, we’re shutting you down!”
Marco: “You can’t shut me down!”
Inspector: “I’m a health inspector, I can shut you down…”
Marco: “No, I mean, you literally can’t shut me down, I haven’t even opened yet!”
Sleepy morning Kaya is so cute.
Hybrid City seems weird as a name, It also implies that it’s only had that name since hybrids were around.
Unless it was named for some other hybrid, such as cars, or a merging of old and new or something like that, and just capitalised on the name to make it a place for hybrid humans that emerged in the past 15 years.
That, or it had another name, but was officially changed to Hybrid City to capitalise yadda yadda.
Hmmm, Health department… Well, could be good news. The restaurant will need health certificates to operate, so this is probably in relation to that.
But that would be boring, so it’s probably bad.
That a pretty big bite there, Kai. Though due to anatomy, that shouldn’t be a big surprise. That is a tasty looking apple to be honest. And yay, the Hawaiian shirts are break.
*back
I love that Kaya is snoring out of her ear! (panel 5) 🙂
Love that apple, Robin! Especially in panel 3. And the detail of the seed core in panel 4 is great!
Aaaannndd… I wonder how often they shred the bedsheets in the mornings before they are awake enough to think…especially Kaya. 🙂
Completely unrelated to this strip: In what country is this comic set (assuming it takes place in a RL country)?
By remembering it : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/small-price/
That’s very possible this comic is set in USA ^_^”
There are a lot of countries that use the Dollar as their currency.

“Dear Mr. Romero, this city is called HYBRID city for a reason, so trade in your gas-guzzling vehicle for a Prius if you value the health of your kids.”
Doctors for hybrids must have a vast veterinary knowledge to draw from. Then throw in the required paediatric specialist as so far they are all kids, it must be ridiculous getting qualified to work specifically with them. Normal doctors wouldn’t really be that capable and you could see new professionals taking the best part of a decade to fully get qualified.
Then you get interesting cases like having a problem with a previously undocumented flame gland…
