Dana was somewhat infamous on the forums for her earlier... webcomic?graphic novel? Raine Dog I think it was, people were wary of her when Heavenly Nostrils first started up years ago due to it. Implied bestiality and a blatant buzzing/cutting off hair/fur fetish bleeding through were some of the few nuggets I remember. I think it hit it's crescendo when the boy and the dog slept in the same bed, she made some remarks along the lines of 'I guess I'm the first girl you spent the night with, huh?', and then later got neutered? I'm fuzzy, that last part could have been in edits, they blur together so. Moomin and the Comet

When you're a little kid you have crushes on all sorts of people, that when you look back with the clarity of adulthood you think "what, why?" I think it's just part of figuring out who you are, what kinds of people you're drawn to, what you envy, what you value. At that age it's obviously not so much a sexual thing so much as it is, I think, an issue of projection and secretly extrapolating about the kind of person you hope to become some day. I remember having a crush on a kid in 2nd grade specifically because she told me that her family ate spaghetti twice a week-- and I wanted to eat spaghetti twice a week too, which manifested in a desire to be around her, to be part of her life, and to continue having post-CCD Dairy Queen hang-outs with her. I had a crush on another kid because he had a SEGA Genesis and his dad owned vending machines, and yet another kid because he ran up and down stairs on all fours like Spider-Man and I liked that he was just out there living his truth. I had a crush on a GameStop employee because he told me "good choice" when I went in to buy Ocarina of Time and gave me the freebie Zelda baseball cap even though I didn't pre-order. I had a crush on Mr. Clean because I didn't like seeing dirty counters or smudges on the oven range. I had a crush on Aladdin and Scottie Pippin because they could jump really high and some doofus on ER because I heard enough adult women call him handsome that I became convinced I was missing out. I had a crush on my second grade teacher because I saw her bra strap when she bent down to chew out this other kid in my class which I'm sure gave me all sorts of weird complexes. I had a crush on the new girl in 4th grade because I'd never seen tartan wool before and when I asked if I could feel what the hem of her skirt felt like she said yeah and it felt really comfortable. A kid had a crush on me and sang me Andrew Lloyd Weber songs every day, we held hands in the back of the room during 4th grade math and I felt bad for him for how sweaty his palms got, and for two consecutive Valentine's days he gave me these beautiful glass candle-holders in the shape of birds, I have no idea where he got them and when he grew up he became a priest. I had a crush on a kid in 7th grade bc he showed off a powerful karate move by kicking me in the stomach and then unexpectedly spooned me and apologized very very tenderly when I fell over in pain, and in 10th grade I was totally in love with a girl because we both thought this alligator we saw on a field trip was profoundly sad, and independently wrote maudlin Xanga posts about it, we dated for two years and still occasionally exchange friendly letters-- we both became teachers. Totally a different form of affection and attachment than an adult model of attraction, totally a completely bizarre and idiosyncratic process pieced together by still-forming brains shooting out feelers wildly in all directions in the midst of an overwhelmingly big world. Kid crushes are the weirdest poo poo on earth! And it should go without saying that when I grew up and was an adult I never dated Mr. Clean or anybody who looked like him, I didn't roam around looking for guys who looked like Aladdin or people wearing kilts, it was all just the untrammeled and embarrassing maelstrom of identity formation. So I think in a comic in which unicorns are real, and can hang out, and have both magical powers and wisdom and no clear semblance of adult responsibilities or adult disciplinary fiat, it makes an ok amount of sense for a human kid to have that weird magnetic pull towards one.

Growing up very religious, I never understood why all my heavy crushes (and first couple of serious girlfriends) were all very non-religious. Then one day it occurred to me that maybe I personally wasn't very religious, and I was looking to romance as an off-ramp to a life I wasn't quite yet ready to admit I wanted for myself. I finally came around to identifying as agnostic in college, and then I married a church pianist.

It's not the main unicorn, it's a different unicorn that I don't recognize because I only look at Phoebe occasionally (I think it's a nice comic, I just can't keep up with everything itt).

The Bloop posted:No they weren't Plus, they've been shown to already have a crush on Phoebe. Which is part of the "hoooooo boy" and the "IF NOT FOR." It should be pointed out, at least for me anyway, we're all aware that kid crushes are weird and make no sense and that this is probably going to be fine/normal/cute - it's just that we're also pre-disposed to brace for impact because we're also aware of Dana's past work. I guess sort of like how most FOOB strips read differently if you know Lynn's background - this probably-innocuous comic is sparking up a lot of our memories about what we used to know Dana for, pre-Phoebe. I think most of us know this will probably be fine and not worth noting by the end of the week. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself.

So if this is supposed to be the true story of Christmas then that further proves Kevin and Kel are not the first predator/prey couple and there's nothing special about them at all.
