RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily Very, very relieved to see that Evie has had some kind of catharsis, and her genuine laughter is a balm.
Unlike Aiden, I don’t have a long friendship history with Diego, so I’m still a bit growly. Particularly calling Evie “Shrimp” without first asking for her permission.
Who wouldn’t like to be examined by a giant doctor? I’d subscribe to that ASMR channel.
“Kaiju wrestling” sounds like a specific fetish unto itself.

RE: Living Space
@mrgoblinging7 I think you’ll find that they are more resourceful than that.

RE: The Transitive Property of Queerness
@tiny-ivy Got a heavy 80s AIDS scare from this one.
Ironically, I find that size-differential tends to…loosen one’s gender preferences, particularly for the larger party. From my SM experiences I know that a tiny man falling into the clutches of a dude like Sean might result in “situational homosexuality.” I have to assume that a “straight” giantess would be tempted to take similar liberties with a shrunken women.
Your scenario makes this even more complicated because even admitting same-sex attraction to yourself seems to make one vulnerable to shrinking. Then shits like Sean layer on their twisted religious guilt to keep everyone in the closet (or, in this case, cupboard).

I personally think it’s acting more like a slow-spreading curse than like a virus, based on that. I think the virus is the news media’s explanation of a mysterious phenom.
I was definitely leaning toward this interpretation. That it seems to propagate intolerance of queerness makes it all the more oppressive.
It’s a common trope for homophobes like Sean to decide to punish any gay man that falls into their clutches by raping them. Since he thought he was holding two shrunken gay men, I half-expected him to take them into the bathroom and jack off with/onto them. Only his fear of the “virus” stopped him.

Maybe an encounter with a flirtatious bi woman who hopes that lots of sex with men will make her immune.
Innoculated by jizz. Booster shots daily.
I forgot to mention that I enjoyed the “Transitive” pun in the title.

RE: Lending a Hand
@mrgoblinging7 Looks like she’s on board with whatever fate awaits her.

RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily I presume Aiden’s relationship status remains: “It’s complicated.”
If Evie likes swimming pools, she’s gonna love bathtubs.

RE: Mystical Miami Comic - Buy it now!
So worth it.
First off, I think the character’s backstories make the smut so much better. I can see the argument that the word balloons might block too much of the art, but really I prefer to have the dialogue to inform the characters’ thoughts and emotions.
Both these characters are also well-developed, and we can easily understand their motives, particularly the trials of loving someone who is quick-tempered and slow to forgive. I felt kind of whipsawed by Ramon’s “calling,” as I’m not at all sure how to relate to it. I’m just relieved it worked out (Fate?).
I really appreciate the window into Miami culture. For a resident of North America, my Spanish is woefully deficient. Everyone should be able to manage some basics, like giving directions or ordering food. I was recently passed over for a job because another candidate was bilingual, and it was absolutely the correct decision. The way you did the Spanish word balloons was much better than the standard practice of putting English dialogue inside <brackets> to indicate a different language.
Finally, this is just an excellent comic in terms of how the layout captures the motions and perspectives to tell this story. The colors really make it pop, too. Your years of experience in drawing size-fantasy has really paid off here.
Bien hecho, chiquita!
