Morning in Shikaviil Port! I get bored drawing big landscapes and hide Easter eggs to amuse myself. There's a rat in here. Somewhere. Good luck.
Transcript
It's 09:00. The view of the habitat dome zooms out, with small comics appearing connected to their location in the dome with a tail.Gillie pokes her wife Idrisah, who is tucked into bed, in the face several dozen times. Idrisah shifts in bed and signs, eyes still closed.
Idrisah: (ASL) 5 more minutes....
Mel scrolls through their phone contacts while brushing their teeth, stopping at Ohwitiil. Meanwhile, in a different apartment, Ohwitiil is filing down their upper bill. In yet another apartment, Cheevwut is asleep.
SFX: BEEDLE BEEDLE BEEDLE BEEDLE BEEDLE
Talita's alarm goes off on her bedside desk. After a while, she props her head up with her eyes closed, wobbling with drowsiness and mane feathers rumpled into an unflattering lumpy profile.

SLEEPY KITTY TALITA!!! she’s so cute and silly it’s made me giggle out loud
Syl
Just noticed that Talita’s picture on Mel’s phone has her hiding her face in surprise. Poor shy gal

I just started rereading this chapter, I didn’t notice the contact photos until now. Look at Gillieeeeeeee!

FLUFFY HALF AWAKE CENTAUR!!! CUTENESS!!!
Claire
If centaurs breathe in through their heads and out by their torsos… is morning breath a non-issue, since they exhale away from where others inhale? Plus, their speech airway is discrete from their digestive tract…
So, are they morning breath immune?
Jay Eaton
Their mouths can still stink from bacterial buildup but they aren’t blowing the smell out with air. So maybe it’s less obvious.
Eden
oh my comment got deleted! my theory must have some truth after all lol. i won’t say it again but I would like to let you know I’m really looking forward to how the story will play out, you’re work is incredible!
Jay Eaton
I don’t delete comments. Maybe the site glitched??
Rats
Seven Foot Rat, Rats Along His Rats.

just-woke-up talita is sending me. She looks like that picture of an owl that got caught in the rain.
I have grown to love Cheev even more because of their awful room.
boxesofboxes
I know shes like 30 but Talia’s got extreme “Teenager who just woke up” Vibes. Same hat, girl. Same hat.
Gar G
I don’t know why but this is one of my favorite pages.
Guess I just love seeing characters going about their mundane every day lives like this XD Feels like a nice bit of worldbuilding I guess
Spinland
“Wobble” is the perfect word for how my moving bits move right after arising.
OceanLadyLore
He makes all of the rules.
WolfenReader
Dang, that a big rat!
audible_smiles
Is that some kind of Avian sleeping donut? It looks cozy as fuck.
arf
The rat may have a lot to do with why people are leaving…
Talita clearly doesn’t do mornings.
Viashino_wizard
the giant rat that makes all the rules
Ruby
On of the most relatable double pages in comic history if you ask me.
Cerebrum
Eepy talita looks like a muppet. Love her so much
Mr. Son
That is some really finely captured “ugh something is ringing” just woken up. I’ve been getting a lot of spam calls lately waking ME up, so I really feel the mood right now.
Spinland
Mood. I have to keep the ringer on my phone active due to parents in ill health, and the morning spammers and robo-callers make me fume.
Ana
I use an app that only allows certain numbers through, or if I get three calls in three minutes from an unknown number. Allows for important communication while silencing the robos and spammers.

Talita looking especially muppet this morning!
Guestie McGuestor
Found the rat! Hahaha! Awesome! I’d judge Cheevwut more…except the clutter doesn’t bug me (save the food containers).
TotallySomebody
Found the rat!!!!
Liza
Found the rat as soon as I zoomed in! Idrisah is such a mood. Cheevwut is sometimes also a mood, on my bad days.
Peter Jensen
A very “cat” way to wake someone, in my experience …
Claire
Cheev, NO….
Trees
Nothing like the risk of spilling stale avian cereal and milk all over your phone and live electrical wires every time you get out of your nest. Makes the morning more exciting.
Maia
Oh wow Cheevwut is such a disaster
Trees
Ha! Thank you for making me zoom in on that panel more closely.
Guest
I like Talita’s contact picture
Jay Eaton
Mel insisted they take her picture for it.
