wait… a human?!
Also, where can I get a copy of Algebra and Dragons?
I love that everyone is still very confused by a human.
>I meant, they never say “I love you.”
>Oh.
The moment you realize someone can have two parents but not one good one.
Man how come *my* Algebra never had dragons in it?
That’s one way to never have to draw her parents I guess. XD
No worries, Gwen, if you let her, Olivia’s mom will love you like you’re her daughter.
I’m starting to think this takes places in the Bojack Horseman’s universe
🗡️♥️☠️
Really aiming right for the heart today
Hey r/comics wake up! The gator boy is about to drop a series of strips expanding Gwen lore!!
The closest thing I could find in my gallery to show my reaction:

I hope she gets help. 🙁
Ive had that conversation a few times.
I was lucky enough to have one good parent but it creepy how I related to how nonchalant she is about it like “ya you get use to it”. Kinda want me to hug my child self and go “but you shouldn’t “.
My face when I read Gwen’s parents never say I love you O-O oh poor baby
Oh no, not another sad family in this comic 🙁
Mine didn’t either, they’ve made it clear since then that they do they’re just bad at expressing things like that
> I meant they never say “I love you”
That strangely brings up old wounds of me and my mother. She had a hard time telling that to us as kids, and even still, it is hard for her.
I use to kinda beat myself up a lot, because for a lot of parts in my life, I wonder if she ever did.
She’s grown up for the better. Still have a hard time talking to her sometimes.
Hey, my parents also never said they loved me. Anyways, gunna go cry for an unrelated reason, again.
This hurts. My biological parents disowned me because I’m not white enough for them. (I’m Taiwanese Hakka tribal descent like them but they became Uncle Ruckus white by conversion) Now they only have two children out of five since the eldest died and the second eldest was also disowned out of economic and religious reasons. Now I have no connection to them because of their cult behaviours and beliefs.
Gwen knows that she’ll never have a loving family, even if they care for her physical needs but never on a relational level.
Damn, poor Gwen. Polly wasn’t ready for this.
I’m curious if humans in this universe are seen as a novelty. After all, very few animals are “naked” with just bare skin instead of fur, scales, or feathers. Do the animal folk pet Gwen sometimes, like how people will be super rude and pet the heads of people with coily hair? Does she get any negative attention? Or is she seen as pretty because she’s “exotic”? Does Gwen sometimes see a Sphynx cat and they share a look of mutual understanding?
I don’t think we’ve seen many bad actors in this comic yet but Gwen’s parents might be the first
Yeah…….
Yeah
We’re starting this year off by getting real. Strong lead.
I’m not even questioning why a human is there, I’m just shocked at how dark it suddenly became at the end.
Your comics are such a nice part of my day. Even the sadder ones like this still have some underlying *theme* of wholesomeness, like how those of us with good parents shouldn’t take it for granted. Even if it is a little embarrassing. It makes me want to go hug my mom.
lol Olivia and her sister will wreck vengeance on Gwen’s parents if she’s not careful
Algebra and Dragons?
This has become my absolute favorite comic.
Ha, relatable
They say it to me, but only so I can’t say they never did
oh
Which is worse, parents that never say “I love you” or parents that say it but it’s just an empty platitude?
human parents are the worst
Wait there are people in this universe?
Hey, my parents also never said they loved me. Anyways, gunna go cry for an unrelated reason, again.
Well damn…
My parents never had the emotional capacity to say that which is why I always say it to my son.
Me neither Gwen. Dad didn’t even tell me he was proud of me when I graduated college (which I worked full time through). It’s ok though. Because we can love ourselves. I often say outloud “I love you” to myself and then respond back “I love you too :)” and it does actually make me feel good.
Mine never said it either, so I make sure to tell my kids ever so often how much I love them and how proud I am
Oh. Oh no.
