Hmmm …. Meela saying she didn’t do anything wrong makes me think that SHE thinks thats its her fault the Bounty Hunters came. :(
This only adds to my theory ;)
Hey, Pipper changed her outfit, didn’t she ?
Poor Meela, she’s got an undead face =_=
Why doesn’t it surpise me that Pipper isn’t good with kids ? u_u
Holland, just don’t talk TOO much about this with Feral, okai ?
Here’s that guys! Holand is going speak with Feral! hmm…. I wonder what Feral has to SAY about having a talking too by someone far younger than him. But that won’t even be the bulk of their coversation! Meela Get well soon. Piper, love the new outfit!
Plus does anyone else think Meela’s ear looks kinda creepy when you zoom in? Or is it just my weird mind trying to find something freaky to satisfy it? ‘~’
It looks a bit more elfin than Holland’s, and the ridges are placed in different areas. I figured it might be related to the fact that she’s a lupian and he’s a lyrian.
Kelsey
Aw, yeah. That’s true but how come the fox people have fox ears and the wolf people have pointy?
She-Griffin
If I remember right from the forums, vulpians (fox-people) are more “playful” and therefore let their ears show; lupians (wolf-people) don’t. Also, vulpians don’t like to be confused with lupians. Don’t take my word on this, it’s been forever since I read those posts. Algy or Celesse, am I remembering right?
…This has always made me wonder – could a lupian show his wolf-ears if he wanted to, or a vulpian hide hers? Could a lyrian show up with wings for arms? :)

@She-Griffin
if vulpians are playful, then shouldnt piper be GOOD with kids?!?! XD
Now that you mention it, they do look kinda weird. But I guess that it’s logical that other, er–species (for lack of a better word) should have different ridges in their ears. Wow, these guys are doing such a great job! I would NEVER have thought of that! ^u^
Piper’s a vixen that’s good with manipulating rational people. Kids aren’t exactly rational at their age. Some things you say to a kid that you would an adult will land a completely opposite reaction (not to say kids can’t act older then their age though).
AWW Meela and Piper are sisters in bounties XP
Now they can have bajillion giggly-girl talks together about how stupid bounty hunters are while feral is still in the room >8D
Piper is awesome. I’ve found myself loving her more and more each time she appears. Then again, everyone is awesome in Strays, so that’s kind of like saying water is wet. =D
Bethy
Wait… are you sure it’s wet? It could decide to be dry water today… *jumps in a lake* never mind it’s still wet. Had to check… This comic, on the other hand, needs no check, ’tis always awesome to read!
But wait, didn’t Meela at the start of this comic say she wanted to be a bounty hunter???? Why would you want to be something that was hunting you and your brother down?
Maybe she wants to become just as tough as them so she can feel like she has some sort of defense if they come knocking. We need more information before we can begin to understand her motives.
These two pages are full of so much sadness! I can’t wait to see the chapter finale, I’m sure it’s going to be a doozy! Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing such an amazing comic with us.
Woah, poor little Meela, I just want to come and hug her.
And Pip has a tatoo xD
FERAL! I’m missing him. Go Holland tell him something we don’t know.
Btw, I can’t wait to the next week and the end of this chapter.
Well, she’s probably got dark patches under her eyes anyway, and she is lying down in a cave in the daytime. That’s got to cause some weird looking shadows.
Aww…they all care. This is so touching.
I love Holland’s face in the last panel.
But I can’t help but wonder what will happen if Meela wakes up with Piper staring at her.
Epic page as always! And I love Piper’s tattoo. Does it mean something specific, like a clan marking? I can’t really see her comfortably living within a group and it’s rules lol.
I think it’s cuz wolves and foxes use their tales for balance, while bird use it for steering. You really need a tail to steer when you’ve got two legs.
Ah, but that same logic rules out foxy wolf tails too. Else all real life humans would have tails for balance. And we all know that apes don’t need tails.
Hmm, I wonder if this is a world with ape/human people (don’t know what you would call them) or ape/ape as the case may be. Seems a little redundant, but I wonder.

Ahh! First! *does victory dance*

Is Holland crying? o.o
Celesse
LOL No, that’s just his cheek from the angle.

shame :3

So many plot twists!! XDDD
oh I love this comic. It keeps you guessing til the last minute.

Much more practical clothes.
Jill
Yep, those clothes are different https://www.straysonline.com/2009/08/page-101/
Willow the Clever
Yeah, a little less… revealing. ^-^”

AngelicAlchemist
“Speak with Feral” LOL
Try “Speak TO Feral,” why don’t you, Holland?
Maverick14th
Yeah, Holland can do the talking and Feral can do the wild gesturing.
Wolfeth
Too bad they don’t have sign language. That would help Feral’s case SO much!
AngelMatvey
Feral doesn’t need to speak; his amazing facial expressions do it for him.
This comic is AMAZING. I love it!
MarkHalo
I totally agree to that!
Kelsey
I wonder what makes Piper think she’s not good with kids… But I’m glad to see her!

P.S. Awesome comic! Just started reading and I’m already hooked! :D
Dodi
YAY feral will finally show up!!!
Willow the Clever
Finally! I simply HAVE to know how he’s been handling all of this! :D
kat
I totally forgot she was there until now.
katt
I dont think we knew she was there. For all we were aware of, Holland and Feral left her in the dust while she dealt with the guards. :P
raptorly
well, holland DOES own her a pendant…
Willow the Clever
Plus a new dress. You’ve got a good point there.
(*owe, not own ;] )
Willow the Clever
I just figured that she took off.

Seconded. That would be some hilarious fanart. XD

Perhaps Feral will know more….

IrondragonMetals
for the sake of being able to tag along with feral
Willow the Clever

13thprotector
Outwitting the enemy, could often lead to becoming the enemy. The tactic of deception and betrayal.
Amber
DOOD! Awkward moment for Piper and Meela! xD
Ahw, man, this is so cool! x3

Alvara101
0_o You are seriously leaving Piper with Meela?! Are You INSANE?! *face palm*
Willow the Clever
Ha ha! XD Maybe that isn’t such a good idea.
KaelinaLuvsLomaris
Maybe better than leaving Meela alone and defenseless….
Wolfdog127
she’d be better off
Sanu Wolff
Sorry haven’t commented in a while I won’t be able to see Meela’s wolf form till the weekend probably…..wanna see more
wandering-dreamer
Just now noticed those weird shadows on her face, where did they come from, the poison?
Willow the Clever
Well, she’s probably got dark patches under her eyes anyway, and she is lying down in a cave in the daytime. That’s got to cause some weird looking shadows.
Ebeth+Bliza
So the tree misfits become four… But in all truth I just wana see Feral again…
Willow the Clever
(*three)
Yeah, me too.
Cliodna
*four
Meela, Feral, Piper, Holland.
And ofcourse we want to see more Feral. ^^
kisa
I think everyone wants to see Feral again. X’D
(who wouldn’t want to see that adorable mute?)
Flurrin
Aww…they all care. This is so touching.
I love Holland’s face in the last panel.
But I can’t help but wonder what will happen if Meela wakes up with Piper staring at her.
Willow the Clever
My guess is that she’d punch her in the face, not that she’d have the energy. X3
Loopy lass
She’ll probably panic, asking for Holland while screaming at Piper to get away from her. That’s my hunch anyways ^^
Flurrin
I bet that’s how the next chapter starts xD
Russet
Epic page as always! And I love Piper’s tattoo. Does it mean something specific, like a clan marking? I can’t really see her comfortably living within a group and it’s rules lol.
Celesse
Thanks! The tattoo is just decorative, she isn’t in a clan. Clan tattoos are usually located on the upper arms.
drx
If the Lupian & Vulpian characters have tails in human form then why doesn’t Holland have a little swan tail?
(she says not actually having checked)
Willow the Clever
Because… it would look really weird? XD I don’t know. That’s an interesting question.
Chrome
Birds’ tails aren’t really a part of their skeletal structure whereas wolves’ tails are – at least that’s the way I look at it.
drx
Interesting. Although I’m not sure that it should be that simple.
VickyLynn

;^; -feels bond with Piper- I don’t do well with kids either. They throw things at me when I try to be nice.
