      I’M GOING TO CRY! D**NIT!!!!!!!!!! I love feral and meela so much– but even more now to know that feral hesitated at the second HE HESITATED because he doesn’t take from children….

      Feral really was a hero. He’s not evil.

      1. Aroree

        I don’t think that has ever been in dispute.

  2. Kageryuu

    Omg no what is this the suspense is going to kill me why please no

      1. Kabroz

        Oh good lord XD I’m sorry, but that totally reminded me of a scene from Tales of Vesperia.

        1. Draggywolf

          Ironically I just got done reading part of reading a fanfic for that game… spooky coincidence is spooky!

        2. Sora

          More ironically I am currently writing a fan-fiction for that game. So spooky it’s not even a ghost anymore.

      2. TattyLunaWolf

        *scoots very close to you and stares at chocolate with wide eyes* you are going to share that right..?

    5. Chigiri

      *squeezes into the corner* it’s getting crowded… but I brought mocha ice cream and triple chocolate ice cream and some jones sodas to get us through this emotional time. Now who wants chocolate syrup?

      1. GoMeela

      1. Horselover

        YUM! cookies and brownies to help with the feels! Do the brownie have nuts in them? I love brownies with walnuts! *continues rereading on laptop*

        ACF IS EPIC! free cuddles!

    9. Rue

      Hope there is room for another wolfie because I am joining! Plus I like cuddles!
      Isn’t this cozy?

      1. Angel

        ACF should have weekly meetings with s’mores, cookies, and ice cream

        1. Rue

          LOVE COOKIES!!!!!!! AND ICE-CREAM? I AM THERE!

    10. Anon

      Most likely the meetings will be on Fridays in the corner with cuddles, blankets, and overall Penguinism from how many people will be huddling in the corner from Strays feels… Make some room I need to get in this corner.

      1. Flames

        (Looks at ACF comments)
        DID I START A THING?
        (But seriously, we need a bigger corner…one with a PILLOW FORT.)

        1. Horselover

          Really? Now I’m using years of magic training to make pillow forts!? Oh well! *makes pillow fort manor*

      2. Hungry Person

        Forget the feels, I’m here for the free food. Move on over, y’all.

    11. KaiyAyanna

      Screw corners!!!! We shall all climb into Conners!!!!! ALL CONNERS SHALL RUE THE DAY THEIR NAMES SOUNDED AND WERE MISTAKENLY SPELLED AS “CORNERS!!!!”
      Poor Meela. She’s just like “hi person I don’t know. My teddy will hide me “

    12. Tenshi

      I find it terribly amusing that only one person (other than myself) seems to have grasped the pun that Kageryuu was hinting at in the original post. Unless that was a typo… but I find it hard to believe it was a typo when it was Capitalized and everything. Hahaha. XD

      1. Viola Caprice

        Oh….our whole corner of feels was founded on a lie…

  3. Deathz

    Awwwwwww them eyes. QwQ

  4. Clampity

    Meela’s dad looks so peaceful… poor clueless bastard…

  5. Eclipse

    -flares-

  6. Fuschia

    This page is so cute! *Fangirl Squeal* The week wait was worth it. But now… *Cries* Another week… This Comic is going to be my death.

  7. Junryou

    Oh my biscuits, his face in the fourth panel is heart-breaking. Meela’s shy, little wave is absolutely precious… This is gonna hurt.

    Also, it is a little hard to read the words in the text bubbles. Maybe make the font brighter for more contrast?

  8. Alicat

    oh god if this is giving me the feels already, imagine when feral figures out that was meela…!!! D,,:

  9. Kukki

    Shouldn’t she be snuggling the little wolfy her brother made? Or did he make that after her dad dies? She found the wolf doll again here though, right?

    1. Dolan the Duck

      That was after their father died. c:

    2. Fuschia

      Her brother made the wolf/dog after her Father and Other brother died. And I believe the Wolf/Dog thing was in another spot, Meela and her brother stayed at for a while.

  10. Flames

    Wait a second. Feral/Yuen didn’t have the mark on his hand. Mal did. Which means Feral couldn’t suck up Mal. We’re not seeing Malkar taking over Feral, we’re seeing Mal regain control of his own body.
    Because it is Mal’s body and not Feral’s, Mal might have more control and able to manipulate Feral’s soul/mind (or whatever he sucked up). Mal is responsible for the loss of “Yuen” leaving only “Feral”.

    1. Sofy

      It could be true, but I’m not so sure since we know what they looked like as kids and teens and that is Yuen’s/Feral’s real body, though Algy and Cels could pull a fast one on us xD

    2. Dinosauregg

      Mal’s hand mark was on the opposite hand as Feral :/

      1. Flames

        I didn’t notice that!
        Must work on another theory! (Strokes invisible beard)

        1. Viola Caprice

          Work on it over here in the corner with us. *scoots to make room*

        2. Angel

          Perhaps Mal convinced Yuen to get one… Or maybe there was some weird power transfer thing? THIS IS HURTING MY BRAIN.

  11. Dolan the Duck

    Aw, wasn’t Meela such a cute little…er pup? I’m kind of surprised Meela didn’t recognise Feral at some point during their travels, but I guess the traumatic experience of losing your family does that to you.

  12. Oh javla (oh fuck)

    *sits in corner* PLEEAAASENUUUUUU

  13. Oh javla (oh fuck)

    a tear ran down feral’s cheek first time

    1. Kitsune

      I think that’s actually a sweat drop. ^^;

  14. Dotcom

    So one thing this does is shoots down the theories that Rollin had caused Feral’s scars and existance. Also unlikely he was the one to introduce Mal to black magic. He’s just a poor guy who got caught up in it all. It is still a mystery how Feral came to be Feral.

    1. Flames

      I personally think it was from when Mal and Feral fused.

      1. Dotcom

        We know that, but there was the theory his throat was ripped out by Rollin in demon-wolf form. There was also the theory Mal got demon powers from Rollin. While that could have happened (even with Yuen and Mal being “fused”), it appears Rollin had nothing to do with it. I think Feral is Yuen after he was scarred and possessed by Mal.

    *explodes from the cute Meela* FGJHKSAKGFSJHFJSAFJHH@@@JKHSJHF /incoherentthoughts

  16. Enorelle

    I was sure Meela was older when his brother was killed ! ._.

    In the very first pages, she says “it’s been a month since you left”.

    1. Enorelle

      WAIT OK, UNDERSTOOD, SORRY. >_<

  17. Holo

    Dad of the year, right there.

    1. Dotcom

      Ever parent full-time? Every parent who sees this relates. Besides–it’s night so the kids were probably in bed. Doesn’t mean they stay there. 4-5 year olds are especially capable of getting up in the middle of the night (speaks from experience).

      1. Holo

        Hoo boy, stuck my foot in my mouth with that comment.

  18. SailorArctic

    Meanwhile in the ANTI-CRISIS BUNKER: *rolls around on floor* I didn’t ask for these feels!

  19. Bokreeder

    My heart…. that little wave…. Feral’s look when he catches sight of her…. and is that an ale bottle right next to Meela’s father?
    Oh joy and I thought that the last few pages hurt…. these upcoming ones are going to smart.

    1. Dotcom

      It may be an ale bottle, but if he was “self-medicating” the house (and Rollin) would look a little more…chaotic. Looks to me he stayed up reading and worrying and fell asleep reading.

  20. fishgrul

    D: omg that some twist to the story… a bit like a tv soap drama… can’t wait what happens next!!!!!!!

  21. Em

    Aww so cute ;-; so very cute Meela! Poor Feral love the cuteness! But we all know what the end result was T.T I am so scared to see what happened!

  22. GoddessFFX

    My feels. I’ll just… be in the corner. Crying and waiting for next week.

  23. Dotcom

    Alright. New theory. Potential spoiler…

    What if Yuen isn’t really possessed by Mal’s spirit, but being controlled (like a puppet) by a very much ALIVE Mal from a remote location? We’ve been assuming Mal is dead, but how do we know for sure?

  24. Zip

    ;A;

  25. Sofy

    My heart hurts! ;o;
    that cute little adorable Meela…TOO CUTE I CAN’T. (\ xx(\

  26. Dinosauregg

    *squees* No no no! *cries for days*

  27. Emipuchucha

    It’s adorable :3

  28. dragonia

    That little baby hand wave!!!! OH gods! And Feral’s reaction! Too much heart breaking cute on one page! ….help…..

    1. Rue

      plus it comes from behind a teddy!

  29. Naria_Nexis

    Feral’s face in the last panel…

  30. RainbowSocks

    I can just imagine that somewhere Algy and Celesse are reading these comments about us drowning in our feels and are laughing about it because they know there is more to come.

    1. Algy

      Hah! I may be laughing, but I’ll be in that corner with you guys! XP

      1. Viola Caprice

        NO. NO ROOM FOR MEANIE HORRIBLE AUTHORS WHO PUT US THROUGH TRAUMA AND THEN LAUGH ABOUT IT AND….AND….ASDLFAHW;OTIAWEH;ALSGHA;IHGA;OIRH *breaks down sobbing and hugs panda pillow pet*

      2. Rue

        Join the ACF (ALLIANCE OF THE CORNER OF THE FEELS)

      3. RainbowS0cks

        Sorry Algy but your request to join our corner had been denied

        1. Algy

          ;n; but…I have feels too!

        2. Plural

          Psst, we can go in the opposite corner away from all the cool kids =o=

  31. kassidypeep

    -melts of adorableness-

  32. DrakaDark

    I agree with very one the suspense has been killing me waiting for this page and now more suspense until next week. But what I think is going to be heartbreaking is when Feral is no longer demon Feral and Meela mentions he killed her father and brother(s)

    aside from this heart wrenching scene. Meela was so cute and adorable.

  33. Kinkylittlewolf

    Aawww, she looks so adorable!

  34. Lady Courage

    NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

    1. Rue

      that face too cute

  35. Flames

    I love how we’re just yelling about feels.
    And Cel and Algy are probably there like,
    “WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE A WEBCOMIC OH MY GOSH THIS FANDOM WE HAVE CREATED WHAT HAVE WE DONE IS THIS GOOD OR SCARY.”
    Or they are just drowning in feels with us, or feel sympathetic and/or laughing because they know we won’t be able to handle what happens next.
    Or they’re just sleeping right now, I don’t know their lives.
    But seriously I love this fandom.

    1. Madeline Lime

      I would wager all of the above qualifies here, lol

  36. Verridith

    OH MAI GAWWDDD.

    Feral, go sit in that corner and hug a pillow.

    Meela, go sit in the other corner and stop being so cute.

    MAL, GO DIE. 8K /hides Meela’s adorable dad

    1. Kabroz

      Anyone else notice that Meela’s father looks an awful lot like Klu-Ya from Wayrift?

  37. Pikahopp

    Those eeeeeyes! :3

  38. IrondragonMetals

    theres a question i’ve been wanting to ask the authors all day long:

    where does that old man from chapter 3 fit in? Y’know, the guy who they thought killed his wife and he knew Meela, but she didn’t know him, and he did something to cause trouble but died before he could tell her anything? Yeah, that guy. I’m just worried he’s going to be a lose end that will never get tied up. I mean, i can wait and all if it will spoil the plot, but i just need to know if and how he fits into this equation.

    1. Celesse

      I had actually planned to answer this, but we’ve shortened Strays a bit and he’s not as important as other matters we need to address. I’m still hoping to fit him in before the end, but if I don’t then I will be sure to tie it up on the side so people aren’t left wondering.

      1. Not Me

        ::hugs:: ThAnk yOu!!!

      2. PersephoneCA

        …”end”? D:

      3. IrondragonMetals

        have you guys thought about what you might do after strays?

        1. Celesse

          We have ideas for new stories, though we won’t be collaborating again. We each want to do our own thing now :3

        2. IrondragonMetals

          well, i hope you guys stay friends, that’s what’s most important i think. :)

        3. DrakaDark

          its kool that you both have ideas planed for after Stray’s… it sad just thinking that, but am looking forward to seeing what both of you are going to create. While its sad that is won’t be a collaboration between the two am sure there both going to come out good.

      4. DrakaDark

        it would be awesome if you can’t tie up lose ends in the actual comic to tell us on the side just so we aren’t scratching are heads wondering about some possible plot hole lol

  39. Innocenti

    Someone arrest her, because it’s illegal to be that cute! Feral, you sweet sonova bitch

    1. Rue

      That little wave from behind a teddy! no words left to describe

  40. JoelEXT4

    So that is what she looked like when she had long hair, I was wondering wut she looked like. Thanks guys!

  41. Genell

    T____T That is just precious….

  42. Person

    (In response to Celesse) WHAT!?!? STRAYS CANNOT HAVE AN ENDING.
    Goes into corner with everyone else and panics with chocolate.

    1. Dinosauregg

      PANIC TIME! no no no no!

      1. IrondragonMetals

        You guys haven’t heard? Algy and Celesse have said on several occasions that Strays will probably be only 3 volumes. We’ve got another 2 to 3 chapters left i think.

  43. wolfie

    awwww

  44. wolfie

    *huddles into corner with everyone else* enough room? yah? no? never mind cuz I brought marshmallow bunnies

  45. Person

    Nuuuuuuuu!!! This is just soul crushing!! Cannot. wait. for. next. week. O-O
    Rocks back and forth in the corner crying with all the other heart broken fans.
    But enjoys the variety of comfort foods everyone brought.

    But kudos to the authors for an amazing, heart breaking little Meela.

  46. Raioes

    Young Meela is kyute. Oh well, this is going down-hill. *jumps of cliff*

  47. WolfNightV4X1

    Hm, from the beginning of the comic, Feral didn’t seem to recognize Meela, maybe when this part of him took over he had forgotten?

  48. Mafi

    I.. I just want Friday to get here.. *sobs quietly*

  49. songstress

    I swear I had this part called from the beginning, meaning that it was Feral that killed her father. I mean, yes it’s really evil Malkar, but hey, it still counts. Poor Meela and Feral though. I wait excitedly for the next page on Friday!

  50. Perfect101

    So me and my friend, are huge fans of Strays, and we were coming up with theme songs for the characters. And we started will Feral, and both of us, at the same time, said, Demons by RadioActive. And you have to admit, it goes with him well.

    1. DawnStar

      Did you mean Demons by Imagine Dragons? (who also have a song called Radioactive?) because I agree that song really fits. Or is there another song called Demons by a band named RadioActive?

  51. Becky___louise

    Can I just say that we need to spend a few minutes or seconds or any spare time to realise how amazing Celeste and Algy are as writers and artists as they have created an amazing comic with breathtaking designs which has captured the hearts of so many of us fans. So thank you because without you two most of us wouldn’t be looking forward to Fridays half as much as we do now and that’s all down to this amazing story you have created about Feral and Meela. So THANK YOU!

    1. LightWolf

      I agree with you :D . I look forward to this every Friday ><

  52. framuga

    Friday, so I’m waiting for the next page :3

    1. Cinni-mon

      I’ll wait with you :) warning where I’m at its 4:23 in the morning and i haven’t slept at all so I may pass out. Just make sure you wake me when it updates

  53. Guesticus

    She is just sooo cute, with that little wave, other works have caused me to see bad things happening to her now :(

  54. empressofmelnibone

    What I don’t understand is why “demons” are evil? What we saw of the demon that was in Mal/Yuen’s flashback it seems like a regular animal. So why are demons or those with demon blood discriminated against enough for them to be hunted down and killed?

    Someoone please tell me??
