Rain
Comic 1457 - Bunnies
Author Notes:
It's just a simple page of cute bunnies being cute, but this one also chokes me up a little. As you may know, Puddle was inspired by our first rabbit, Zilla, who is no longer with us, as of 2020. Chippy was inspired by Alphonse, our second, whom we lost the year before. When I decided to include a second rabbit for Rain, I thought it might be nice for the two of them to be a little memorial for late babies.
I hope I didn't bring the mood down, though. It's still meant to be a cute page. ^_^

Also, I think it's a good way to honor your pets. And it's really cute!
Children and their naming choices are always an interesting can of worms heh. This one worked out though, I'd say! ^_^
Losing pets is never easy, and I'm glad you got to memorialize them with this lovely page <3
Are we going to see Emily and Lydia in the next page
(Seen it over the last couple pages and i dont think anyone else noticed it)
Also damn, Rain lookin good in that outfit.
and it's so adorable that Lydia named the bunny
but alas, my inner word nerd weeps. we could have had petrichor. i always thought petrichor would be a cool name
A friend pinged me on discord yesterday at 5:39 pm, my time, bc someone had mentioned a webcomic I should look at. Today at about 11 pm, I have finally caught up on Rain. (Don't worry y'all, I took breaks for eating and hydrating and sleeping!) I wish I could say why I couldn't stop reading. Maybe bc it's part of the history of LGBT struggles over the last 15 years or so. Maybe bc it's impressive as hell that this has been consistently updated over that time period! Maybe bc of hyperfocus. Maybe it's a combination of those.
Or, well. Maybe it's bc I'm also trans and picked "rain" as a name. Yeah. That probably has something to do with it.
I can't really put it in words and that always frustrates me, bc I feel the need to be able to explain things, but this just. Feels important to me, somehow. Like I needed to hear this.
So thank you.
Also, those buns. <3 Those husbuns. They clearly deserve all the best hay. And Chippy is absolutely a chocolate-chip -- or possibly chocolate-spot! (it's a thing) -- bun.
Seeing Rain and Emily about to be parents is what kept me reading this
Now if that isn't character growth combined with artistic parallels (and growth too!) I don't know what the heck is!
