Well I'm intrigued to know what's troubling her so much! And the sexual tension between them- he's obviously so experienced, he's seen so many like her!

Well… I always wanted to do a series of detective stories, so maybe this could be the kickoff.
Stay tuned. 🫵😎

Love custardfist, one of the funnier webcomics currently

Femme fetal is a play on femme fatale

She's in the fetal position

My brain autocorrected fetal to fatale. I count that as a success for the comic.

I've gotten so used to people on the internet that can't spell worth a shit and don't care that I just assume that's what going on now.
