Whenever Kazooie is sad like this, my soul weeps.

Legal slaver is what that shit is.

Don't see this ending well...at all.

Uh, oh She's now a child slave by a cruel state law. Man, this does not seam good.

So... will her schooling be put to an end too, or is she expected to do labor and go to school? And they had school on a Saturday?

Otherwise still enjoying the comic - the art is better than the MLP one, imo. Not that the MLP was bad, just seemed too "squishy" ;3

this society is based on 1910 USA in a southern state. it was quite common in the early 1900s for orphans to be put to work on nearby farms and also for kids to end school early because they had a guaranteed living on the farm. remember that kazooie is of high-school age. whether it's right or wrong morally, the rhinos probably feel no need to school her, and it's not that unusual by society's standards.

the adoption laws in this story aren't so much intended to be cruel as they have lots of loopholes that the rhinos are taking advantage of. (after all, CPS hasn't been formed yet, and people are barely aware of the concept of children's rights.) the girls in this orphanage have only ever seen one of their fellows adopted (and they much more often sometimes see their friends mistreated), so of course they'd think the entire world had turned against them. their opinions probably wouldn't be shared by most people. after all, this orphanage continues to operate legally, and it is even somewhere kazooie's principal allowed her to be taken. you can also see in falooie's reaction panel 6 of the previous page that she doesn't think this will be so bad for kazooie, and we can infer that she's mostly just sad about not being allowed to adopt kazooie herself. personally, i bet that a genuinely kind woman like her would train to become a foster mother so she can adopt kazooie.

about them having school on a saturday: yeah, i thought about that, but it isn't uncommon, globally speaking, to have school six days a week. i thought it wasn't that unbelievable and that what i would gain by saying that the reason they weren't taken to the farm was that it was the holy day was greater than what i lost by saying they went to school six days a week.

and yeah, kit's improving as an artist, and you can thank oddball too, whose inking lines are thicker and more angular. i think they're a great combination.

So do you always hide philosophical cores in your pornography?
No trolling, I'm legit serious.

it's more like i don't see any reason good or deep stories can't have sex. it's a part of life, one that everyone experiences, and i think it's silly when people label it "smut" and make it cease to mean anything. in the right contexts, it can move people and cause the reader to think just like any event.

plus, i'm just plain tired of "artsy" art avoiding showing the characters having sex when they want to do it and they're obviously going to do it but then the movie makes a dumb cutaway or the story makes them avoid it totally out of character or the tv show has something happen to keep them from doing it or... the video game (FFVI) has them do an interpretive dance instead :P or whatever.

honestly, i'm indignant on the part of porn that people can't take stories seriously when they have sex in them. that's not to say that the tendency doesn't exist to make the story cheap when the producers know they're gonna sell copies cuz people wanna fap/shlick, but some mainstream movies' stories have plots that are just as cheap as bad pornos!

from what i've seen, people have the tendency to think less of a story just because it has sex in it even when that disrespect is completely undue. and, in those cases, they miss out on awesome stories! and that's sad. in that way, i don't want to be labeled as "just a porn writer." so i'm out to make good stories with hot sex in them. an excellent medium between what people call "artsy" stories (where the story's hot but the sex isn't) and what they call "porn" stories (which are the opposite).

plus, god damn it, i just love sex. i love writing it, seeing it, and having it. making art is just more fun when it involves sex.

i know for sure kit agrees with me on all these points, and that's one reason we're a good team ^_^.
