Wise decision young dragons. Wise decision.
Marcus displaying some very effective parenting strategy!
They’re Dragons all right! Wealth and treasure talks, especially when Dragons are involved and if it’s their treasure!
A birthday breakfast, full of cheer,
though hopes of action disappear;
Marco knows this pair of old
and just what they should be told.
They’re off on a trip after food,
to get them into a party mood?
Or is it straight around to the gathering?
(Have they syrup for pancake slathering?)
Their day of wonder begins well;
will it continue? Who can tell?
Well Robin, for one, but he won’t hint.
The story’s long and not a sprint.
This makes me wonder just how much the Twins’ fire-breathing has caused their insurance to increase so far.
It also makes me wonder how insurance has changed with the presence of hybrids over the past 16 years, especially medical insurance with the unique needs of Class II and III hybrids with their unique anatomy and medical needs.
I wonder if only Lloyd’s of London will insure them.
Veeeeery wise indeed, considering they might not get to the party in time if they set the house on fire.
P.S. I have a website! It’s nothing much, just some art I’ve done, but I’d appreciate you checking it out! Just click on my name to access it.
very funny :p
Kaya should do a cover!
Jokes on you, I got an ad before the video lol
Congratulations, you got me with that one, though I really only fell for it because I link some of my actual artwork in my own username. I just don’t advertise it because I haven’t made any fan-art for this comic yet.
You have a website. It’s nothing much, but its name is youtube.com. Yeah right. I feel no need to watch Rick Whatshisname today.
Nice way to ruin the joke 😛
To be fair I saw through it immediately. But I was a prolific Rick roller when I was younger
Not nice to send us off to YouTube
You might even say he told a lie and hurt you.
Has school ended by now, or is it a weekend? My guess is schools out, since Alex mentioned final exams were coming up earlier.
Given their birthdate is June 15th, right in the chapter title, I’m guessing that they’re already on summer vacation. Sometimes school schedules get weird and go all the way into June for whatever reason, but for the convenience of the comic’s story, I’m guessing the Twins’ school didn’t do that.
And since it is their Summer Break, I’m hoping that the next chapter will involve them taking their annual trip to Italy. On the other hand, after the results of Italy’s last election, I’m not so sure that’s a good idea anymore.
Down Under, mid year school holidays tend to be the first 2 weeks of July and only for 2 weeks. It’s Winter in Australia from June till August, so it’s not heat people are trying to avoid 😋. Summer holidays are basically December and January, back to school in February. And aircon is a MUST HAVE at that point still…
Cleo went to school on the first of June, and came home with homework that she couldn’t outsource. The fifteenth is the same weekday as the first. Therefore it’s not a weekend.
It seems very likely that the summer break began sometime in those two weeks.
In the US, summer vacation (or school holiday) usually begins either late May/early July, and lasts until mid-to-late August. Each school district does it differently IIRC.
EDIT: late May/early JUNE. Wish this had an edit key…..
Yup, that’s the way it was for me growing up and is still what is practiced in my area. I know some areas across the U.S. do things different and that year round schooling has been tried in some areas of the U.S. but it’s not widely practiced as far as I know.
That is a whole lot of pancakes. I can see why it’s called a leaning tower (I wonder if that means Marco is from Pisa…), hopefully its foundation is stable enough to keep it from leaning. I’m actually kind of scared to think what would happen if the Twins actually did eat while blindfolded… Would they eat, or at least bite, anything in front of them? Probably would be best to test it outside and with stuff easily replaced. Remember to get dressed before you put on your blindfold, Kaya!
It’s the return of Chibi Kai and Kaya! So cute!
I think that tower is more fattening than leaning.
Can Reptile Hybrids (especially mythical reptiles) get as fat as normal Humans or Mammal based Hybrids? Can Kai and Maya even get fat, what with all the chocolate they (mostly Kaya) eat?!
Daniel here. I’m thinking since they are still Human, just with animal elements as well, they could probably gain weight and get fat if they’re not careful. However, something the Twins have in their favour is that they are still growing, so that will burn some energy, plus they’re stronger than most people their age (and many adults I’m thinking) which would require a higher nutrient intake, allowing them to get away with eating more than most other kids…
Glad to see someone agrees with my point on them possessing superhuman strength and durability. I got into a heated discussion with Shini on the Twin Dragons Discord that ended with them threatening to mute me for a week when all I did (at least, from my perspective) was explain that the twins are stronger than most humans based on evidence and instances from the main comic.
I don’t think it’s quite superhuman (yet), but the Twins are definitely stronger than others their age. Very first chapter, their Dad confirmed Kai is stronger than he is already – https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/packing/ – while Kaya managed to catch the equipment trolley easily during the Doctor’s visit – https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/heavy/ – which later leads the Doctors to plan an adult’s strength test for their next visit…
Ages ago, Down Under there was a Mentos ad which had a lady convince 4 gym junkie strongmen to lift her Mini Cooper out from its boxed in parking space. When they are grown up, I can see the Twins doing something like that with a little bit of help, or maybe even by themselves if they start exercising enough…
LOL on a whim, searched YouTube for that Mentos ad, surprised to find it immediately…
https://youtu.be/mJWemPyCHB8
Once fully grown, I can see the Twins being able to do the same thing with only 1 normal Human assisting. However, if they both exercise right and reach high enough relative strength, I can see them or any Mythical Hybrid with similar strength levels (I’m thinking evidence suggests they’re roughly twice the strength they should be for their age/body type/health) lifting a car like that with just 2 of them…
Heh! Good one. 🙂
A tower of pancakes, surprise trip, presents, blindfolds?!?!
Can’t wait to see what happens next!
I love the last two panels.
Monthly allowance? iirc, when I was a teenager I got a weekly allowance. I imagine that varies between families, but I wonder how common the different allowance frequency options are.
When you have seven kids and a lower-middle-class income, allowances tend to be pretty meager. I don’t actually remember getting one at all. I did babysitting other kids for my money, and got my first ‘real’ job at 14. (with a “work permit” from the state.)
Heh, I’m from an upper middle class family with only one sibling, and neither of us got an allowance of any kind, neither weekly nor monthly. I do remember pitching the idea to my parents a few times, but they’d always explain that it went into the presents we got on our birthdays and at Christmas and Easter, as well as the Halloween presents that we’d exchange our candy for. We weren’t allowed to eat candy on any holiday because our mother didn’t want us destroying our teeth like how she destroyed her teeth.
Same in almost every respect, except for the Halloween thing.
I had an allowance. It was called the paycheck from my part-time job……..
I didn’t get an allowance at all. I did get a little cash on my birthday from family, but it was usually a “use it before mom borrows it” situation. So I never managed to save much. Of course now I’m apparently annoyingly frugal.
“Frugal.” I wish that’s all they called me. 😉
Panel 1: Move the comma from “Now” to “normally”.
Panel 2: I think “in” would work better than “on”.
Panel 3: There should be a comma at the end of “us” and a period at the end of “blindfolded”.
Title text: “towering” should be capitalized.
Nope on the commas as usual.
I think this reply would read better with a comma after “commas.” 😉 🙂 🙂
I think your reply about his reply reading better with a comma after “commas” reads well without commas.
I think this reply to your reply about his reply about my reply reading better with a comma after “commas” reading well without commas doesn’t read well either with or without commas.
Their proportions seem to be a little more chibi in the last panel for the sake of expressiveness. I like it. =3
(I hope I’m not mis-reading it and that their proportions are the same. I’m pretty sure I only have so good of a sense for these things, and being wrong could be embarrassing. 😅 But still, if that’s the intention, I like it. =3 And even if not… I still like the idea? 😅)
World Guide, paragraph 2: Chalk this up to personal preference, but I think you could stand to swap out “the first Hybrid” for “John Norton”, since you’ve already named him.
Paragraph 3: “Hybrid specific” should be hyphenated.
Paragraph 4: Ditto the latter for “wellbeing”.
Paragraph 2: No; it’s right as-is. Maybe if this were a story or novel your way would work, but this is a reference book or book of instruction and needs to be more specific. Norton was not mentioned -on this same page.-
Agreed: In this context you should state the relevant information (“first hybrid”) directly and not rely on the reader deducting it from a name they might not recognize (I don’t remember having read the Name “John Norton” before)
Well, that’s certainly one way keep the kids in line, linking their damages to something they can tangibly grasp
I am confused. I realize they are fire breathing dragons, but exactly how do they eat if “eating while blindfolded” is an insurance hazard?
Like… do they breath fire when they eat or something?
I think he’s joking about the size of the mess they’d make trying to eat while wearing a blindfold. 🙂 The insurance covers more than just fire damage. 🙂
Probably breaking, biting, and/or eating anything in their path as they search for their food.
Don’t forget stabbing. Tables, chairs, plates, each other…forks have pointy ends, knives aren’t meant to be blunt, and they’re relatively strong.
Time for no reason to count how many pancakes or supposedly in that pancake stack 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and around 11.
While panel 5 makes a hilarious argument for….well, any kids, probably, it’s especially relevant in the case of these two….
I like how they try to prove their good manners by eloquent wording.
Wow. I would have thought Sabrina, the psychologist, would have that handled. Marco is…more direct and mathematical.
