Reflex test
Quite an unusual way of testing, but I guess it works.
WE MADE IT! The 10K goal has been reached. Rex will howl and Jesse’s Adventure will get a remake of chapter 1. All thanks to your generosity. Thank you all š
If you missed your chance for the kickstarter, but still want the book or any of the rewards, I take orders directly through PayPal. I don’t have a store page set up, so it will be through mail or note, but just let me know if you want to order something and we’ll get it sorted š
PayPal info:
So whatās up with paypal now?
Iāve gotten quite a few people that couldnāt back on kickstarter but still wanted to get a book or any other of the tier rewards. I decided to open up the option to pay me directly through paypal, since kickstarter doesnāt take paypal.
How do I do this?
You can contact me through discord, mail or deviantart/furaffinity note if you want to pay through paypal directly. Make sure to take a look at the available tiers on the kickstarter page and tell me which one you want. Iāll let you know my paypal address then.

Doc, I think you need new stuff.
That would have squished a Mouse.
This makes a change for our Kaya.
Itās usually her brings down the house.
Again, though, the girlās making friends,
easing burdens and doing it all right.
It really is the case, it seems to me,
that itās Kaya you want in your fight.
Kai can handle trouble, itās true,
but the Lady hereās a natural.
Kaya is the one who gains friends easily –
and that, Iām sure you see, is factual.
(Aw, C’mon, Rex! Tickles him
At this rate, I’ll be surprised if they’ve ever had a vaccination shot.
You think there’s a disease resistant to THEM?
Well at least not resistant to Kaya XD
They actually have had all shots. Their parents care about them.
Kickstarter cartoon: “Oh, Rexy, you are legally /obligated/ now.”
Forgot to say it from Mc thunderpants (am i saying that right?)
Actually, using the word “obliged” makes perfect sense in this context.
Aww, he’s a happy little Monster in Jessie’s adventure. He’s wondering how to ask if he can come in.
That’s one way to look at it :p
Well, I guess we now see why it is horrible that Kai has been roasting all those thermometers- the hospital is in need of funding for new supplies and he just totally obliterated perfectly good equipment! In all seriousness, the city should be perfectly able to replace all the items destroyed by exposure to our two protagonists. Give it a few years, they may even get their own section in the budget summaries- “the dragon fund” or something like that- the “hoard account”?
There’s probably other instances of property damage (just imagine a hybrid with a strong tail getting excited) it’d likely that that equipment was put through the wringer much faster than at a more mundane clinic
Imagine the phone call after today:
Hospital: “Hybrid Medical Center here. We would like to raise our insurance coverage.”
Insurance hotline: “Again?! Sigh, what is it this time? More poisonous hybrids?”
Hospital: “Dragons. Fire-breathing dragons.”
Insurance: *faints*
Lol. I would love to see the look on that call receiverās face. Itās like Achmed finding out where he is. ā… ahhhh………. *voice crack* WHAT?ā
The hoard account xD
I’m sure they have some kind of budget. Hybrid kids do have claws and sharp teeth sometimes xD
I was just thinking Kaya’s doctor just can’t catch a break and then this happens. š
@Jesse’s Adventure: D:
She’s having a fun day for sure xD
I’m sorry to say it but this part can’t break : total steel when the rest of the wheel can be full plastic
Meanwhile : yes , Kaya has good and quick reflexes
Maybe they went to Ikea.
Never underestimate government-issued equipment.
ah the quality of buying from the lowest bidder wait did I say quality I meant quantity
No item made of steel have ever broken ever, metal fatigue and rust does not exist.
Yeah, but if that’s the case, the axle will go first.
I’ve NEVER seen a caster break like that. It’s the single strongest part of the whole thing.
Broken wheels? Yep
Broken axle? Yep
Broken mount point on unit? Yep
It’s not that it can’t be broken, but in practice, you’re always going to break another part first.
You work in or study a field of engineering; donāt you?
Oh, well,… I didn’t think that through I guess xD
Let’s just “roll” with it, okay :p
In fairness, the leg looks the same color as the wheel so I just assumed both were made of plastic and that it is a cheap piece of medical equipment.
It is entirely possible for the vertical post piece to break. I have seen it happen with my own two eyes. Sure, *most* of the time, it’s made of steel, but not always.
Also, steel can break.
Actually, I don’t think this would be valid test of reflexes. The knee test is supposed to test the kind of reflexes not involving the brain at all ; the catching of that piece of furniture definitely DID included brain.
Yeah, it’s not a valid test, but Kaya doesn’t know that :p
Nice save Kaya and I would say you passed the test! I am a bit surprised at the cart though. Most every one I’ve seen the peg that attaches the wheel to the base is metal, not some cheap easily broken plastic.
Yeah, I heard from a lot of people that’s like the only part that can’t break on those carts xD
Guess I didn’t think that through :p
Well I won’t say it won’t break, just one of the least likely based on my experience. Something far more likely would be for the wheel portion of it to have some sort of failure, such as developing cracks or a flat spot (shopping karts are real bad about that) causing the kart to bounce and rattle.
Hyperactivity grants a reflex bonus.
Good thing Kaya also has strength to back up those reflexes.
I do love the idea that they could break wheels off a trolley every time they do a reflex test. š
+5 reflex saves, +5 adorable
+5 smug face
Yes! The wheels are booby trapped. They press a button when they’re close to the patient xD
Sometimes the equipment just breaks down faster than you realize.
I see Kai possibly going into an academic environment to become a doctor, Kaya is a bit too…energetic for the medical profession. That might change when they get older but for now, that’s how things look.
Now that I think about it, I don’t think any of the core cast has talked about what they want to do when they finish high school
I think it’s pretty safe to say Rex at least has ambitions of going pro basketball with as driven as he is at that sport. The others are hard to say as of yet though.
They haven’t really thought about it yet. Kaya would really like to have her Utube channel take off, though :p
That will likely change when they get the class assignment that asks them where they see themselves in x # of years.
She’s got a sharp eye and the reflexes of a natural-born dragon.
Yeah xD
And that is why you spare no expenses (quote from Jurassic park or in the hybrid world Jurassic pool) in hospitals. If Rex doesnāt howl in public then just get a recording of him howling problem solved š¹š
I’m working on the howl, no worries xD
Yeah, spare no expenses. But that gets expensive, so maybe spare a little? xD
I wonder if the Docs will make note of how Kai and Kaya are stronger then they look?
They should. That’s what the medical info sheet is for :p
“That wasn’t the test. That was a manufacturing defect.”
Time to go back to Ikea and get another wheel assembly. Mind you, in the wheels I have gotten from Ikea, the only weak points near the shaft are the plastic socket that receives it, and the plastic wheels, not the shaft itself. I guess a manufacturing defect or metal fatigue could manifest a this specific point in time.
Yeah, chances are it was indeed a defect.
No Taylor itās reflex save save +10, and adorable +50. lol still sheās got some keen eye if she seen that.
She saw the cart falling and reacted xD
+50 adorable sounds about right :p
āThat wasnāt a test…ā Maybe not an intentional one, but I think it most certainly counts as a test! It takes both quick reflexes and an immense amount of strength to catch a cart like that. Especially at that angle. (Coming from personal experience here… RIP my classmateās big toe. Donāt work on heavy carts wearing crocs people.) I wonder if the doctor will pick up on that fact enough to look into how Kayaās strength compares to an average hooman teenager. (W I M P Y H O O M A N S) Great work as always Robin. The surprise of the cart breaking is well expressed and evident in both charactersā body language/facial expressions. In addition, this amazing comments section is just cracking me up. So all of you commenters keep up your great work as well. Happy reading everyone, and as always, stay awesome!
The great readership and the awesome comments are one of the strong points of the comic. I always enjoy reading them.
Thank you, Alpha š I’m sure your classmate has forgiven you and learned to live without that big toe.
Kaya does indeed show a feat of strength here. Let’s see how that goes š
This doctor sure is having a good day xD I don’t think she’s ever had a more bubbly patient!
I was wondering that is there any dragon-specified disease, or diseases that can not infect some hibrid-kinds?
For some weird reason (I normally wouldn’t care.) I keep looking at the way the doctor’s right shoe flexes in panel four. Well drawn, Robin!
And I like the monster’s expression in this week’s “Jesse’s Adventure” too. š
p.s. The right shoe flexing reminds me of the commentary for animated movies when they expound on how hard it is to animate something, like water. š
Happy Halloween love the comic, although I hate finding a new comic only to hit the most recent page so quickly (I basically binge read lol)
I wonder if there will be a strenght test during their examination? The trolley could lead to one being needed especially if that trolley is heavy and the doctor notes how easy it was for kaya to lift it.
I’d like to see Kaya challenge Arnold Schwartzeneger to arm-wrestling! š
Well, she’d still need a reflex test. What happened is a test of reaction time. A reflex test is usually a test of a muscular reflex arc…it’s a way to test the sensory/motor nerve connection in one go.
