That's adorable! She does seem a tad enthusiastic, but who can blame her when she not only gets to celebrate Christmas but meet the cutest snow leopard around? I love those cute stripey shirts your both wearing, too. They're so cute and they look so warm!

Absolutely! It's hard to even be mad at her when her enthusiasm comes from such a sincere place. Em really is absolutely lovely, and celebrating with her never gets dull.

And thank you, those warm shirts are one reason why I love winter so much. They are so very comfy!

There is no better gift than the hug of a best friend

I could not agree more :3

Hehehe ;)

Sometimes she forgets that one shouldn't just squeeeeze someone as hard as they can whenever they meet them....im just happy she didn't snap you in two, though she came very close.
Em: "I-Im sowwyy againn! y-you still coming back next year?"

Awww... I can not bear seeing Em sad. Of course I will come back next year! No harm done. My back almost doesn't hurt anymore :3

Em: "YEYYYYYY!" immediately hugs you super tight

Em no WAIT I.....sighs

More Hugs = Better World!!!!!!!!!!

Leandre hanging out with Emanuella? Hope she's ready to get caught up in her kinky tickling misadventures ... does Leandre ever get into tickling situations? XD

Great Work! Keep It Up! :)

Yes! More hugs! Even if some of them knock you out!

Tickling adventures? I haven't been involved in very many of those so far, though I wouldn't be opposed to the idea. And if that means getting to hang out with Em more, that's all the better to me.

Some of your pictures seemed to show Leandre as some sort of adventurer ... even with the biological study background. Wouldn't be surprised if she'd have science/tomb raider-like rivals or anything, kinda like that picture with "Bad Lot." (She shares her design with a pinup done by LavanderBell in her Furry "Fallout Girls (Draft)" lineup named Rouseabout Sheila ... one of them was a Hyena she named 'Giggles.' I joked that she would be the one in charge of subduing leads for intelligence-gathering and specialized in interrogation via tickle torture; she liked it and said she'd make it her "thing.") Leandre seems to get captured/experimented on; just curious if she ever got "interrogated" or ran into someone just looking for some laughs. XD

HUGS!!!!! XD

That is true. While my job is journalist for a scientific magazine, I also do some of the exploration for my articles myself. That's where that adventurer-part comes in. I am also not strictly limited to biology, as my articles encompass all kinds of natural sciences. Whatever just so happens to be a good story at the time (oftentimes the latest tentacle-monster that decided to abduct me). And yes indeed, I do have a rival like that. While Bad Lot certainly pulled a trick on me that one time, my true tomb-raiding rival is Ayleena Maitaki, a nasty piece of hyena who's in it for the profits alone and does not care about the historical significance of our work at all! (You can see her in our latest comic Raiders of the Sand-Serpent's Tomb)
And I assume by "interrogated" you mean tickle-tortured? That has not happened so far, but it is definitely not off the table for future work. There are so many different ideas and situations yet to explore though and it takes a lot of time to implement them into the comics, so it's hard to get around to every single fun thing I'd consider.

Lots of hugs for you as well! Have a great day!

Looking forward to any future comics, regardless of what zany adventures you get into; whether it's tomb raiding, alien abduction, espionage, magic fantasy, or the occasional 'let's-go-to-the-hot-springs' side quest. :)

BTW: Do look over your shoulder when hanging out with Emanuella. As the heiress to her rich parents she's often the subject of many kidnappings. It's how she discovered her love and desire for being captured and held against her will ... for the attention. (That's why her parents hired someone to ensure nothing bad happens to her and can enjoy the feeling of captivity in the safety of loved ones, which is how she discovered her new love of being tickled.) That is how she has often gotten her friends dragged into her kinky affairs. XD
