I have severaly Q’s about world stuff (mainly the twins)
1-Do they have middle names?
2-Do they have any other hobbies than V-games (Ik Kaya has singing/yt and Kai has sports but anything else?)
3-(Based of off Q4 DARK WARNING) Are people out to kill Hybrids (Similar to how the twin’s hometown despised them but crank it up to a 16)
4-(This one’s a little dark WARNING) Are there people out to get Hybrids to experiment on them?
5-Is the phenomenon of Hybrids due to any form of alien interaction
6-Why such a sudden turn from human to hybrid? Shouldn’t there’ve been a more subtle change?
7-Do the twins have a V-game style preference? Such as fighting, adventure, sandbox, etc.?
I just want to familiarize myself with the characters & world more than the main arc gives. I also understand if some of these cannot be answered due to the lore/plot of the Hybrid world that will be important/revealed later in the series.
I know I’m repeating this but you didn’t answer last time. Hope you do this time
-Memento Vivere
I’m not Kai, but I’ll -try- to be helpful…. (You know; I think it would be interesting to see Kai cosplay as Kai. 😉 )
1- Almost certainly. Almost everyone has at least one. BUT; no, I don’t think we’ve ever heard them.
2- Benji has gotten both Kai and Kaya interested in “Catacombs & Drakes”. (Their world’s version of “Dungeons & Dragons”.) The cast page gives the impression that Kai, at least, and probably Kaya, is up to try almost anything -reasonable- that looks like fun. Both are smart enough and mature enough to understand that some things are fun to imagine, but are also too dangerous, or have other consequences for themselves or innocent bystanders, to be “reasonable” to try.
3- Has not been discussed in the comic, but my own opinion, from what we have seen, is that it is unlikely; but, certainly possible given that they are becoming very visible in a human-dominated world.
4- Same as ‘3’.
5- Totally unknown so far, but not overly likely.
6- Science does not know that either. But, there is a large difference in degree of hybridization from person to person. It can manifest as anything from nothing more than paw-pads on otherwise normal feet to full-on green-scaled, long-tailed, fire-breathing DRAGONS!
7- I have no idea. They do like video games, but I don’t recall if a preference was mentioned.
Kai has a lack of free time on his hands lately, but he’ll show up eventually and correct any mistakes I’ve made. Until then, I hope these help you.
I don’t have a middle name. At least not officially. It’s generally rare in my country.
There are places where most have ONE name. Hold over from a time when that was enough. I would guess that 100 years from now that will change. Just like surnames did not exist in the far north east Europe – Norway, etc. Than they hardened the existing last names, hence “Jacobson”, which used to mean “Son of Jacob”.
In other parts of Europe, they used profession, eg “Smith, Cook, Farmer, Taylor”, etc. Or place names, like mine – Styles – hole in wall or steps over stone wall. Really.
Good grief, people. I said -“ALMOST”- everyone, specifically so y’all wouldn’t feel left out. LOL 🙂
Hey, sorry for not answering last week ^^’
I have severaly Q’s about world stuff (mainly the twins)
1-Do they have middle names?
No, they don’t have middle names.
2-Do they have any other hobbies than V-games (Ik Kaya has singing/yt and Kai has sports but anything else?)
They used to play outside a lot in their old town. Mainly going to the woods and such. They haven’t taken up any new hobbies yet since moving to Hybrid City.
3-(Based of off Q4 DARK WARNING) Are people out to kill Hybrids (Similar to how the twin’s hometown despised them but crank it up to a 16)
Some places in the world don’t take kindly to the hybrids. It’s the reason that hybrid-centered communities were first set up. Hybrid City is one of the biggest of such projects.
4-(This one’s a little dark WARNING) Are there people out to get Hybrids to experiment on them?
I’m sure there are some twisted souls out there that would, but I’m not planning on getting into that in this comic.
5-Is the phenomenon of Hybrids due to any form of alien interaction
Can’t say anything about that yet. I plan to release a stand-alone side comic that will serve as a kind of prequel that will explain how it happened.
6-Why such a sudden turn from human to hybrid? Shouldn’t there’ve been a more subtle change?
Just like in the previous question, I can’t answer that yet ^^
7-Do the twins have a V-game style preference? Such as fighting, adventure, sandbox, etc.?
Interesting question! Had to think a bit about that one. This is subject to change, but going over what I’ve depicted in Gamer Dragons so far, and what I know of my own characters, it would be like this:
Kai: Action-oriented titles
Kaya: Anything cute
Cleo: Generally not into games, but Kaya managed to drag her into Among Us at least :p
Benji: Anything Sci-fi or fantasy related.
Rex: Still exploring. Seems to lean towards fantasy for now.
I hope that gives you some more insight ^^
Oi, you! (Robin) I thought you were back with the comments??
One truck out of the twelve
suits those who chitter and skitter.
Do us a favour, kids;
whilst you’re there, look for stray litter?
Not that you’ll find any;
Marco keeps a pristine kitchen,
free of any rubbish
and CERTAINLY free of Lichen!
Cleo sells the van plan
and reignites the restaurant dream.
Now, give her a free meal
to bring her right into ‘the team’.
Sorry, been real busy with life stuff xD
I’m gonna reply to the previous and new comments ^^
We’re always happy when you’re here. Because it means you’re well enough to do it, mate.
“Why? Because we LIKE you!”
…betting no one gets that ref! 🙂
“M-O-U-S-E…”
Yes, I’ve seen that show in re-runs. Call me goofy but I’ve never understood the obsession with Annette Funicello — probably because my childhood crushes at the time; Barbara Stanwyck (The Big Valley), Diana Rigg (The Avengers*), and Eartha Kitt (Batman); were playing strong, smart women while Funicello was (at least in my opinion) basically a kitten without claws.
*The British Spy/Adventure show, not the Marvel superhero movie.
Good job, Reynard61! 🙂 You win a cookie. 😉
And I agree with you. I saw a -little- of the M O U S E-keteers, but was always more a fan of Buggs than Mickey. 😉
Diana Rigg and -any- of the 3 original Catwoman actresses were ‘crushes’ for me. 🙂 Wasn’t fan enough of The Big Valley to get interested in Stanwyck.
“Kitchen” and “lichen” don’t rhyme, even if they look like it.
It oes if you pronounce lichen with a ‘t’! 😉 But, yeah, I was cheating a bit, bud.
I don’t know about anyone else, but _I_ always look forward to seeing what you come up with on a weekly basis~
AGREED! And on multiple comics too! 🙂
Ah, but Cleo’s dad is a smart shopper. He got the food trucks from Costco in shrink-wrapped 12-packs.
At least he didn’t go for a 24 pack. just saying.
Always gotta shop smart. Even if you’re rich, doesn’t mean you need to throw money away xD
you wouldn’t believe the size of the forklift they had to use to get those off the shelf!
Once again the twins are adorable in here! That Kaya in panel 3!
Well looks like a done deal unless Mrs. Romero raises some objections! Good job Cleo!
Panel 3 Kaya is definitely one of the best ones xD
The deal had been made, so let the fun commence!
*Skitter skitter* Ah, those twins. They never cease to amuse me.
They’ve been trying very (amusingly) hard to stay in frame, it’s a miracle that they’ve only made that much noise.
“I like the ‘monsters’ best in panel 1. Those ears and…” *skitter-skitter* “AAAAHHHH!!!” 😉 🙂
*Alien soundtrack starts playing*
Good thing Marco doesn’t have any vents installed in the house xD
Who has a fleet of food trucks gathering dust in a garage…… to quote Benji from the basketball storyline “How filthy rich are you?!?”
You never know when they will come in handy again xD
Aye, Cleo’s dad is turning out to be a Bruce Wayne-level billionaire.
Left-handed shake?
Left-handed shake! =D (I noticed that too. X3)
Yeah, seems odd to me. He’s standing on the left side of the panel, though. So it had to be either suddenly switch camera angles with no explanation, or use a left-handed handshake.
Why would any change of the camera angle be needed? Marco’s right hand would of course hide more of Cleo’s right hand, but so what? I don’t see any reason to change anything else in the panel just because of a change from left hands to right hands.
If the camera angle remained the same and they did a right-handed handshake, Marco’s hand would basically cover Cleo’s *entire* hand, due to the viewing angle, and also due to his adult-sized hand being so much larger than her teen-sized hand.
It seems to me that, artistically, this makes more sense.
Shaking with your indominate hand is a sign of trust in many cultures. It originates from the age of knights who would carry shields in that hand; by lowering your shield to shake hands, you are exposing yourself to your partner, thus showing you trust them not to stab you.
This is also the origin of why left-handed people have been distrusted in the past; because they’d carry their shield in the other hand, they’re not lowering their shield to shake your hand when you do.
Didn’t know about the left handed shield thing. Gonna have to dig into that.
In a number of countries, though, the left hand is used for…well, cleaning yourself after you use the toilet. (Please pardon my crudeness.) In those countries, offering a left-handed handshake is an insult.
I also didn’t know about the shield thing, but I’ve known a few people from certain countries where they don’t have toilet paper as commonplace. That’s how I know about the cleaning thing.
Didn’t really think about that xD
The biggest problem dining establishments, aside from making sure they have the proper equipment (which is up to code), is being known. The best chef in the world has their talents squandered if nobody knows where they are to the point they aren’t cooking for anyone. Cleo’s proposal also lets it get around town, what kind of new dining establishment there is in town, and a little sample of what it is like. Granted, food has many of its noticeable aspects change based on where it is cooked and was used to cook it as the ingredients and their quality of said ingredients. That all said, a true chef can use techniques to elevate the quality of the dish if the quality of one or more of the ingredients for a dish is lower than they think they should be for a dish like that.
Yeah, that’s true. Being able to use the food truck in strategic places around town will help get Marco known and will help him with his restaurant in the long run ^^
The big thing I think will be picking stuff that fits his resteraunt but can be made and eaten on the go from the truck. He’s doing italian, right? So I’m thinking lasagna (which can be baked in batches and served in a paper plate-cup like a hotdog, a chicken parmesan sandwich of some kind, maybe some soup that could be served in cups, etc. And set up recipes and stuff so that when the resteraunt opens up, he can leave the truck in the hands of staff without the quality dropping.
Cleo can theme each truck differently as she sets up the others.. so you could have different cuisine or cuisine fusions for each.
Heh.
WIFE HAZ U
>:)
Gotta make sure everyone is on board, right xD
Robin, how do you keep making all these adorable sketches of the twins? I tend to disagree with calling them “horror-movie monsters”. More like… hmm… Is there a name for a movie where you’re hunted by cuteness? If there is, that’s the genre we’re looking for. I especially like Kaya’s expression in panel 3. Something about cat-face Kaya is just always so precious to see. It’s also nice to see that last little bit of background in that Cleo already has access to the trucks rather than needing to make a large upfront investment of her own. That detail really helps to close off any doubts remaining about the deal. After all, as long as food sells, anything is more profitable than just letting the trucks sit and depreciate in value. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next. Keep up the good work, and as always, stay awesome!
Dunno why WordPress is calling this spam:
“a movie where you’re hunted by cuteness” ==> Ewoks? Or maybe Babe.
I wouldn’t put it past Cleo to have bought a fleet of food trucks just this morning…
I don’t think she would buy more than one if she didn’t needed them.
Thanks Alpha 😀
I dunno, I just keep drawing them adorable xD
Yeah, Cleo didn’t just up and bought some trucks out of nowhere xD
Robin does not know how to draw the twins UNadorable! 🙂
JESSIE’S ADVENTURE: Hoooo-BOY! Does Miss Penning look fast!
She’s making a run for it xD
Hey! Jackie’s not an “it”! 😉
Right, Jesse? Right? Jesse? Now where Jesse get to- Uh-oh…
😉
Sweet, everything worked out. Now how long until it all goes horribly wrong?
Hilarity ensues in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Maybe it goes really smoothly? xD
Well Dad has given up and is on board with the plan now you just have to talk mom into it.
And you’re assuming she’d be opposed to the idea because…?
Gotta give her all the information before deciding ^^
I am curious if the twins or the others are fancying for horror films/games 🤔 (Because of the alt/hover text 😀 )
Benji likes games like Dead Space :p
the twins aren’t really into horror.
Awesome comic!
By the way, I attempted to get into the Discord Channel, however it is completely blank. Does it no longer exist or is it just a glitch?
It certainly still exists! I guess the link got reset or something, even though I told it to never expire.
Try this one:

Skitter , skitter XD
Ah. She is going to get bonus points with her dad for finding a use for those food trucks. Now there’s more space for sports cars.
kaya has her evil face on again 😀
