Congratulations to the winners.
Iron Ed’s a classic.
That’s MR.(Iron)Ed to you, me bucko! 😉 🙂
Yep, congrats to them all… 👍🏻 🙂
So 178 people gave it a shot? Fair enough. I thought there were a few people saying “I’m in”…. 😋
The natural is a surprise,
from candles to Annabella.
But what we should know
is Kai’s a lucky fella.
A hot date with a sharp cat
in the town’s best place.
Where English is spoken
to help Near save face.
There’s not dress code here
as Kai’s not turned away.
The date has reached half time;
partway through the day…
Once again, nice work on the rhymes. Much better than I could do… 👍🏻
So Kai didn’t need that vest after all. 😉
Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Only so far done, and so much still yet to go. Eager to see it…
Congrats to the winners!
Here we see Kai showing one of his special talents to the lovely Near. I can hardly wait for the next page to hear his explanation, and see Near’s next reaction and expression.
Just how much pull does Annabella have in this town, or is it how much annoyance until the townsfolk break to her demands?
It might be a lot easier if she says “it’s for Kai’s first date.” Most of the town folk seem to really like the twins.
Or perhaps they like the twins (or at least Kai) that much.
Time to explain fire powers.
We’ll have to see if Kai decides to give the explanation the doctors told him, or if he’ll just say “I’m a dragon!”
He’s a kid trying to impress a date. Of COURSE he’s going to say “I’m a dragon!” (With smoke effects, if he’s figured out how to do that.)
I hope Kai asked Near what she wanted before he ordered. I was under the impression she might be a vegetarian.
I SERIOUSLY hope Kai doesn’t freak her out with his flamethrower mode.
Aren’t cats carnivores?
Cats are PURELY carnivores! Their digestive systems cannot handle vegetation from what I’ve learnt. So all those people who put their cats on purely vegetarian diets are not helping them out at all…
Hybrids are still Humans, so Near would still be an omnivore like everyone else, but I could see a Feline Species Hybrid using that fact to try and get out of eating their vegetables… 😋
(A tip that works for me – I don’t like the taste of straight up veggies still despite being an adult, but alter the flavour somehow, even if it’s just some tomato sauce, and that does the trick for me…)
People who puts anyone else than themselves on purely vegetarian diet are not helping anyone, but they may KILL the poor cat.
Tomato sauce counts as vegetable, doesn’t it?
Tomato is a fruit technically, a berry just like a strawberry or blueberry, but it apparently also gets listed as a vegetable for some reason. I just know I’m not fond of the direct, normal flavour, but like the taste of Tomato sauce…
According to my school board, tomatoes are a fruit, but ketchup is a vegetable. :3
A dragon hybrid tried that argument, so yes, a feline hybrid might also try it.
What did you type to make that link work without showing the full address? I didn’t know this site could support that.
My personal preference is NEVER boil veg. It exaggerates the flavour and extracts vitamins etc out of them into the water that gets drained away. Raw, stir fry or curry/chilli is my main go to for eating veg.
I’ve seen my cats eat grass, carrots, and a few other vegetables willingly, and they all lived long, happy lives. Of course, they also either hunted or ate normal cat food, so it wasn’t a straight vegetable diet; just saying I’ve seen cats eat stuff other than meat without seeming to be affected.
I was concerned because yesterday her panini was vegetarian.
I’m wondering if Kai is actually speaking Italian here and Robin forgot to color the speech bubbles. The phrase “two times carbonara“ sounds like it would work better in Italian than in English.
I think he went to a restaurant where they also speak English (as shown by the waiter) to make it easier for her.
That’s the impression I got as well. “Two times carbonara” is a little awkward, but probably makes things easier for a non-native English speaker to understand.
Heh Kai just casually lighting one of the candles is how she finds out! XD. Perfect! Though now kai might have to reassure her if they were to kiss. Honestly not expecting more than a peck on the cheek if it does happen, it is just a first date.
Crazy thought, don’t want it to happen…
…Just imagine the type of hickies Kai could give…
No wonder Near is impressed, I need to know too: How did he breathe fire AND talk at the same time?
Dhalsim can do it!
He can’t. The panel just took long enough for him to do both.
I wonder. nxt cmic hen Kai tells Net he is a dragon if those seagulls from Finding Nemo will start going inside Nears thoughts.
Do the twins have rhythm? They could make a fortune as the world’s premier fire performers. Eating, dancing, and of course breathing. It’s no real danger to them unlike standard humans, and they can make their own without sticking the baton in their mouth first. Plus twins are wonderful for choreography, and their extreme strength means they could do the really advanced gymnastic dance manoeuvres. They’d be booked out for years at a time.
It could depend on how much of the flammable compound their bodies can hold/make.
Kaya could probably rope him into doing a performance for her YouTube channel.
…I wonder when we’ll see her do anything for it again. She could at least make a “travel update” video or stream from her phone. (Or her Dad’s phone if she doesn’t have her own.)
Wow, I didn’t expect to win, that’s awesome! Also the casual explanation of Fire breath is going to a fun one to see how Near reacts to
I’m sending you a mail about the giveaway on the email you used for this comment.
Congrats on the win!
Is carbonara a dragon favorite? Would make a good offering to the twin dragons?
Kai by now probably realizes that Annabella has been meddling with his date, he clearly doesn’t put it past her. I wonder if Kaya is assisting her…
Kai casually being a dragon on his date, again. Near asking Kai how he did something so natural to him is like asking someone with an eidetic memory how they are able to remember so well or an artist how they dream up their creations. Now Near knows her new boyfriend is a Dragon Hybrid, I hope this isn’t a deal breaker for her.
Panel 3: Do you suppose you could add a comma to “all”?
Panel 5: And also hyphenate “Lady And The Tramp”?
Not really needed.
And totally not needed. Although you can read it that way as Spider-Man insists you do his name…
Near: “How did you do that?”
Kai: “Do what?”
Near: “How did you…light my fire?”
*Somewhere, a dad nods in approval.*
Hang on a second…
Is Annabella high up in the Italian Mafia or something if she can do that?!
Hey, congrats to all our winners! Hope you all enjoy it! Pleasure reading as always Robin. Somehow it didn’t hit me until this panel that Near had no idea the twins could breathe fire lol. Yeah even if someone says they’re a dragon I probably wouldn’t just assume they could do that either to be fair. Keep up the good work! And as always, stay awesome!
Why on Earth did that go in as a reply? Sorry about that Chess.
Ah, she didn’t gather that he’s a dragon. I guess that’s fair. Dragons hybrids aren’t exactly common. It didn’t occur to me that she might not know until now, though. 🙃
Non-“basic animal”, aka Mythical, Hybrids aren’t exactly common. We only know of three, and one of them is something of a debate in the scientific/medical field, given that the Komainu Hybrid, Jin, doesn’t exactly have obvious tells that are easily recognised by other humans. Even in experiments showing his claims to be true.
I mean, I suspect that Benji is a Trickster Hybrid (likely a Trickster Coyote or Wolf), instead of just an Albino Dog Hybrid, but that’s mostly due to how the externalized manifestation of the Komainu Jin is friends with sees him. Of course, it may just have an issue with Benji playing CnD (Catacombs & Drakes) or something along those lines.
I’ve always thought of Benji as a “loveable mutt.” Which in itself is interesting, because a “mutt” is a mixture of multiple breeds of the same animal in this case dog. How does whatever’s causing this (Mother Nature?) work that out?
Amusing that breathing fire is so natural to him that it didn’t even register, while she apparently did not know about that ability.
Congrats to the winners!
Kai lights a candle
With his fiery dragon breath
Near sure is impressed
Wait, is Near trembling? I mean, her ears…
That’s just showing Near’s ears popping straight up as Kai -really- gets her attention with his fire trick. 🙂
Just thought… That breathing fire trick would really go great with the fire-eater at the circus.
Time and again, Kai amazes Near without even trying to show off. She thought his being bilingual was amazing. Then he turned out to be super-strong, and know everybody around the town – and now he breathes fire like it’s completely normal. Poor Near didn’t even get to show off her climbing skill.
…wait, is it just me, or does that look like Near’s Dad in the background of the first frame?
He could be though in the older pictures his hair looks a bit redder. That could be the lighting though.
But as the man is already eating while Near and Kai are just ordering it won’t be planned.
I don’t THINK so. I mean, it’s a large bearded man who seems to have a red hair, which matches a description of Near’s Dad. Any differences in appearance MAY be due to the distance and so that it can easily be shown that he’s eating. On the other hand, he could easily be blond & the reddish colour is due to the fact that they’re inside & in the background.
In other words, we’ll only know if he shows up in a few pages to say hi.
Went back and found the big reveal of her Dad – https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/bocce/ – and while Dad had his beard formed with a slight point emerging from the bottom of the curve, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of that being NearDad in the background – could be an artistic choice/slip-up or the point is how he wakes up and then he styles in into a smooth curve when he gets ready to go out…
All I know is there is a noticeable chance that the sudden flash of flame when Kai lit the candle caught his attention, especially if he’s not a local who knows the Twins, and if it IS Near’s Dad then he may come over to see if she’s OK…
Ware the dragon’s breath
Such wondrous joy that it is
Each one shares their own
