Panel 1: Bleh.
Panel 2: Oh… My.. God…
Panel 3: It’s.. it’s… BEAUTIFUL :'(
Panel 4: WHAT THE HELLLL
Panel 5: Oh myyy ♥
Panel 6: GET HER OFF MEEEEE!
Panel 7: Oh, get a room you two ♥
Not necessarily. I mean, they’ve been together for a while now so you can say they’re kinda close. Also, he’s being hugged by a little girl who is crying for seemingly no reason, ran away last night, and ended up killing a man before they found her and took the injured pup back to camp.
She’s been through a lot. Feral might just give her a hug; at least a little pat on the head or something!
ClimbingEast
I don’t think he’s confused; rather, he’s realizing that if he wanted to get rid of Meela, this just took him a few steps in the wrong direction.
Amanda
Given how he searched for Meela in a panic after she disappeared instead of going “Good riddance” and continuing on with his day, I don’t think getting rid of her is tops on his list anymore.
flyteck
I agree ^^ I wouldn’t be surprised if he hugs her, simply for lack of a better option.
Not Me
I can also see him kneeing her in the stomach if she continues for much longer… although that is not what I Hope would happen :/
I love how this is too much for Feral, and he’s all like “HOLLAND, WHAT IS GOING ON I DON’T UNDERSTAND?!” and Holland is all like “Don’t worry brah, you got this!”
…
I’m still not sure why I imagined Holland saying “brah”, but it just fit the moment so well…
Ferals reaction is the reaction of a everyday man. I just loves Holands reaction. It reminds me of a loving mother that knows all. This webcomic is just absolutely amazing. I love the story and the art is just the best. Waiting every friday for this is worth it.
I love how Feral’s tail gets all puffed up in the fourth panel, like, ‘OHMIGOSH, CHILD LAUNCHING HERSELF AT ME, HELP, WHAT DO I DO, HOLLAND, WHAT’S GOING ON????’
Oh my word I can’t even take the facial expressions in this panel. XD Feral is all like “WHAT DO I DO CHILD AFFECTION?!!!” and Holland is like “NO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL CONTINUE WHILE I GET POPCORN”
This is so beautiful!!!
When I read the authors’ description of this page, I thought for SURE it was going to be Meela that Holland wasn’t going to help. As in, angry Feral demands explanation for crazy crap that happened and Holland was leaving poor Meela to fend for herself. This is a MUCH better turn of events! So fantastic! Feral, PLEASE hug her back, and thank you for bringing the doll! :D
These three last panel didn’t make my day, they made my whole week brighter. This is so cute and funny. Feral is so confused and Holland is so cute. xD
This page is absolutely… cute and hilarious! I particularly love Holland’s face, those stylized expressions are one of the things that I most love of this comic ^^
Aww, I love the expressions and motions (does that word work…?) of the last two panels so much! :3 You did them very well and it was a good time for some cheeriness. Is it a sign that things will go back to normal for a little while?
He is never going to be able to get rid of her now. It like with wild animals, once they know you have food they’ll never leave you alone. Now that she knows for certain he has a heart she’ll follow him to the ends of the earth.
I posted this to Facebook because I like using the word “interrobang”, and it resulted in one of my friends shotgunning the archive. I don’t know if this speaks to how awesome my friends are or how awesome your story is, but I opt for both. Thanks for bringing such wonderful moments!
Why don’t you guys live stream anymore? Dont you know that’s how I cheated and looked ahead? HOW ELSE AM I SUPOSE TO FEED MY ADDICTION UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE !?!!
D’aaaw!! Feral’s all like, ‘WTF?!’ And Holland is all like, ‘So sweet! Don’t worry about it!’ Great nonverbal expressions drawn! As always, an excellent page!
Great page. There are not a lot of comic pages that can truely make me smile, and this one, with it’s hilarious and touching facial expressions really did it! Making one of your main characters speechless is tricky because you have to rely so much on emotion in order to portray what they’re thinking, and you two pull it off flawlessly. Keep up the great work!
Oh my gosh! Holland is killing me! He is so kind and loving and then Feral–GAH! Meela is so sweet and cute I feel like crying and laughing at once during these scenes. Best webcomic I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading–And I’ve read quite a few but Strays is my absolute favorite. If it ends well, I’ll be buying it all for sure! Keep it up you artistic geniuses you!

Well, if he kinda looked down at her for a second then just*pat pat* on the back with an unsure look on his face is what i am imagining.

Not Me
well, with how mela is feeling/acting, this might just be the perfect time for her hat to come off… maybe.
Locust
He is never going to be able to get rid of her now. It like with wild animals, once they know you have food they’ll never leave you alone. Now that she knows for certain he has a heart she’ll follow him to the ends of the earth.
llwydBlaidd
You make me happy.
Amanda
This page is so full of WIN and D’AWWW and LULZ! :D

The Knight In Dark Armour
i just love how freaked out feral is. it’s so cute!
watchdog
I HAVE FOUND A PATTERN Feral dislikes tears :P
McMilla1228
Maybe it’s just because he’s mute, but I get Link vibes from Feral, especially during these more comedic moments.
Cinni-mon
Haha, that’s so true!
Achoobless
If Feral is going to pat her on the head and not give a hug. I hope he doesn’t feel the horns under the hat… (O~O)
Becka
This is touching because meela thought feral might be upset with her, instead he brings her childhood toy. She must feel a lot right now lol
Ellaanabeth
