A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is pinned against the floor, strapped down with some kind of leather straps, a Green sits beside him.
Green: Do you feel safely restrained now?
Blue: Yep!

Gently, Green places a muzzle over Blue's face.
Green: A muzzle so you won't accidentally bite me.

Satisfied with his work, Green looks at Blue.
Green: Are you ready for your eye drops?

Blue taps the floor twice with his tail.
Green: ...Two taps for "yes."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is frowning while looking at a pizza, which Green is leaning towards with eager curiosity.
Blue: Ugh, my pizza is too spicy. I can't eat this.
Green: Sprinkle some baking soda on it.

Blue looks at Green with disbelief. Green looks back to him with no hesitation.
Blue: Would that actually help? ...In any way?

For a good, lingering moment, both Blue and Green simply look at each other. Green is the first one to break the silence.
Green: No.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are reading a map.
Blue: Do you want to take the small roads, or the big route?
Green: I know the bridge is better in almost every way, but I like the scenic route.

Blue continues to study the map while Green looks up to him questioningly.
Blue: Good. We can't take the bridge anyway, it's on fire and also flooded.

Both foxes look at each other with deep confusion, baffled by each others' logic.
Green: ...Then why did you ask?
Blue: Because I value your opinions?

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are outside, looking at a rain cloud. Blue is glaring at the cloud, and the cloud is glaring back.
Blue: Are you going to rain or not?
Cloud: That depends. Were you planning to paint that shed today?
Green: That depends on whether it rains today.

The cloud does not answer. The foxes and the cloud glare at each other in silence for a moment. Eventually, the cloud breaks the silence.
Cloud: We can do this all day, buddy.
Blue: We will.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last wk.

A comic of several colourful foxes. In this one, we see a red fox wearing a burglar mask, carrying a heavy sack on her back.
Narrator: The reverse burglar strikes like a thief in the night.

The red fox drops the sack on the floor with a heavy thump.
Narrator: Swiftly she breaks in, drops her loot, and she's gone again!

In the morning, still bleary-eyed, drowsy Green finds the sack, looking at it with a drowsy yet puzzled expression.
Narrator: The grim light of dawn reveals her crimes.

Green turns around to call towards Blue, who is somewhere unseen.
Green: Blue? Your mom got us with the zucchini again!

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is minding his own business, peacefully reading a book, as Green looks out of the window, tail raised in alert.

Blue's book goes momentarily up in the air as Blue jumps, startled by Green's excited yelling.
Green: The signs have aligned! Blueberry season is upon us!

Blue looks after Green as Green rushes off to make arrangements.
Blue: What kind of signs do you see from our window? We're in the city.
Green: Bird poop!

Blue raises his eyebrow in confusion as Green returns, wearing a sun hat and carrying a bucket for foraging.
Blue: ...You do bird poop divination?
Green: They turn purple when there's blueberries.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk, and pass by a gas station under construction.
Blue: Oh look, they're renovating the gas station.
Green: Huh.

Blue and Green sit down to watch the work.
Green: I wonder where they put the old guys who always sit at the front.
Blue: I think they're still there.

The foxes watch as the group of old men sit at an outdoor table right next to the construction site, stoically enduring the sand and dust getting into their eyes and coffee mugs.
Green: Impressive dedication.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green as Green is writing something, peering curiously at the paper.
Blue: What are you writing?
Green: An evacuation notice.

Blue looks at Green, puzzled, and Green looks back to him.
Blue: ...A what?
Green: The sink creature has returned.

Soon, the foxes are sitting beside the sink, and Green is reading aloud from the paper he wrote.
Green: Dear sink creature: Due to upcoming cleaning procedures, you are advised to leave.

Green carries on reading, while Blue looks at the sink in mild alarm, as the creature's yellowish green tentacles bust out of the sink.
Green: We will be pouring boiling water down the drain.
Sink creature: Uuugh fiiiine.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 3w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is a soft muted grey. In this one, Blue is helping the foxes' elderly neighbour carry groceries.
Neighbour: Thanks for helping me run my errands.

Arriving at her home, Blue sets the groceries down, while the neighbour starts digging her purse.
Blue: It's nothing, we're neighbours and I was home anyway.
Neighbour: Here's for your trouble.

Seeing the neighbour offering money, Blue leans back, trying to reject it. Determined to reimburse him for his time, she leans in just a aggressively as he is trying to lean away.
Blue: Oh, no need-
Neighbour: I am not a charity case. Take the damn money.

Arriving home visibly shaken, Blue is carrying the money that the neighbour offered. Green is sitting at his computer, looking towards Blue.
Green: How was it?
Blue: She drives a hard bargain.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 3w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue gets startled by the extremely loud voice of an unseen hawker selling fish.
Hawker, outside of the panel but loudly enough to rattle everything within it: Come get your fish! Fresh hot fried fish for cheap!

As the two walk on, Blue turns to look over his shoulder to glare at the seller.
Blue: Why do they have to yell like that? I hate it when people yell.
Green: That counts as yelling?

Blue frowns as he goes on. Green listens.
Blue: With my family, the only reason why anyone would raise their voices is in a real emergency.

No longer frowning, Blue looks at Green with an unreadable look on his face.
Green: You were raised in a much gentler home than anyone I know.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 3w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Green is sound asleep, while Blue frowns in vague discomfort.

Green does not wake up as Blue starts to sleepily reach towards him, eyes closed and sniffing to find him by scent.
Green, narrating: You reach for me in your sleep sometimes.

Green almost wakes up as sleepy Blue kisses the back of his neck.

Satisfied with having located Green, Blue turns around back to where he started, and both foxes continue their peaceful sleep.
Green's narration continues: To make sure that I'm still there.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 4w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are peering into a shower drain.
Blue: The shower drain is clogged with your hair again.

Green frowns at Blue as Blue opens a bottle of drain cleaner, and pours the colourless liquid into the drain.
Green: Why do you think it's my hair? You have as much hair as I do!

The foxes jump in surprise as semi-liquefied drain-clogging sludge of hair and rain cleaner chemicals bursts up from the drain like a fountain, lifting the drain cover up with it.

Once the sludge has settled into an enormous pile, foxes look at each other as they sit beside it. The sludge pile is more than twice as tall as the foxes are, and its colour matches the shade of Green's fur perfectly.
Green: The chemicals dye them that colour.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 4w ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is coming home, wearing a dripping wet rain cloak, eyes gleaming with pure, genuine delight. Green, who was reading a book, turns to look at him.
Green: How was your bike ride?
Blue: I loved it!

Blue narrates as we see a flashback of him cycling through the rain, water splashing off him, squinting to keep the droplets from getting into his eyes.
Blue, narrating: Absolutely brutal pouring rain beat down relentlessly.

Still wearing his rain cloak, Blue gestures as he talks to Green, droplets falling off him. There is a puddle collecting around him on the floor.
Blue: The streets were almost empty! There was only like three people out.

Back to narrating a flashback of Blue's bike ride, we see Blue riding his bicycle in the brutal pouring rain, speeding past an innocent bystander who looks frightened by Blue's seemingly out of place expression of unbridled glee.
Blue, narrating still: And I think I scared all of them.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green with a question.
Blue: Hey can you help me make up my mind about something?

Green sits calmly and listens as Blue goes on, ponderously tapping his chin with the tip of his tail.
Blue: Okay, so I've got three options- no, wait, the second option makes no sense for this.

Green sits still while Blue goes on, looking over his shoulder to the direction he came from.
Blue: And now that I think about it, the third one is the same as the fist, but worse.

Satisfied with this talk, Blue carries on, returning the way he had come. Green has not moved at all.
Blue: The first it is, then.
Green: Glad to help.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting together, facing each other. Blue looks at Green in alarm as Green looks at a bee flying towards Blue.
Green: Don't freak out, but there's a bee on you.

Blue remains calm as the foxes watch the bee bump against him, making the tiniest possible "bonk" sound.
Green: Just making sure that you're not a flower.

Blue frowns at the bee as he watches it fly a little loop only to come back to bump into him again.
Blue: Buddy. You tried that already.

Blue and Green look at each other as the bee finally flies off.
Green: You're so pretty that she had to double-check.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are outside, as Green frowns at an unwelcome noise.
Green: Ugh, someone's watching videos on full volume.

Green turns to Blue, who calmly hands him a pair of earbuds.
Green: Do you have my spare earbuds?
Blue: Here.

Taking the earbuds, Green starts swinging them by the end of the wire like a slungshot. As he lets them loose, they hit the video-watching stranger on the back of the head with enough force to startle them and drop the phone.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk, watching a mother duck pass by with three little ducklings trailing behind her in a row.
Green: I like the part of summer when the babies come out. Suddenly the world is full of new little wild creatures just learning everything!

Going on, Green looks ahead as Blue glances behind them.
Green: Ducklings, baby squirrels, fawn, little seagulls...
Blue: Cyclists.
Green: Sure.

Blue watches in shock as a cyclist passes by with three little cyclists trailing behind her in a row, breezing by with such speed that they launch unprepared Green flying into the air.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of several multicolour foxes. In this one, we begin with a greyish-brown fox sitting in front of a laptop.
Narrator: Somewhere in the world, a fox watches a friend narrating an incident in her home.

Next we see a scene of the online friend fox's family yard, with one fox stealthily peering out of a window at another fox, who has pushed her entire face into a garden hedge.
Narrator: Her dad is peering out, watching his wife acting strange in the garden.

Then we get a view of the fox looking through the bushes, her face peeking out on the other side. She is frowning in suspicious curiosity.
Narrator: She is peeking through the hedge, keeping an eye on some lingering strangers.

Finally, we see Blue and Green, hunched over, keenly studying a worm on the ground.
Narrator: The mysterious strangers are observing a worm.
Blue: Where are you going, buddy?

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is enjoying the breeze in front of a fan, while Green sits some distance away from him, with his back towards Blue, clearly sulking.

Blue looks at Green as Green turns to look at him, still with a grumpy look on his face.
Green: I'm sorry I've been awful all day. This heat makes me miserable to be around.

Blue looks frankly at Green, who appears mildly surprised.
Blue: You haven't done or said anything.
Green: Oh?

Green turns back around, looking tired and frustrated but no longer angry.
Green: I've been thinking evil thoughts all day.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · last mo.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed, looking at each other.
Green: I show affection by doing things for the people I love.

Blue and Green kiss each other.
Green: I change your bedsheets because I love you.

Blue raises an eyebrow with a puzzled expression as Green nuzzles up to him.
Blue: We sleep in the same bed, in the same sheets.

Not even slightly deterred by Blue's confusion, Green cuddles up closer to him.
Green: I can love us both.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue with a festive wreath of wild flowers on his head.
Green: You know that summer solstice magic thing, of putting seven flowers under your pillow?
Blue: Yeah?
Green: What if you already have the love of your life? What will your dreams reveal then?

Blue looks pensive as he contemplates the potential, while Green frowns briefly in dismay.
Blue: Maybe I could try that to keep an eye on you tonight.
Green: Why?

Blue turns to look over his shoulder as Green cheerily passes him, already on his way to whatever celebrations he is heading to.
Blue: To see that you and your friends don't get arrested.
Green: Well, you can observe, but not intervene.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is peering out of the window with a pair of binoculars.
Green: Blue! Get in here! It's happening!

Blue rushes to the window to peer outside next to Green.
Blue: They're getting the carton recycling?
Green: Yes! The bin is empty!

Carrying boxes of various folded, flattened and rolled-up cartons and cardboard containers, the foxes rush to the recycling bin.
Blue: if we hurry, we might get ours in before it fills up again!

Reaching the carton recycling bin, the foxes look at the mountain of various folded, flattened and rolled-up cartons and cardboard containers already pouring out of the overfilled bin. The overflow mountain of carton recycling is so large that it's supported from several sides by flimsy wooden beams.
Blue: Ah, nevermind. The neighbours beat us to it again.
Green: How?!

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of several foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, we see a grey fox, by themselves, studying a "no smoking" sign, with a smaller sign added at the bottom.
Grey fox, in thought: Non-smoking area, enforced by... Sniper?

Frowning disapprovingly, the grey fox immediately pulls out a cigarette and lights it.
Grey fox, still thinking: What kind of a sick joke is that? How would th-

Grey fox's thought process is startled as a thin, sharp burst of water shoots the cigarette out of their mouth.

Nearby, Blue and Green are hanging out on their balcony. Blue is wearing an olive green fishing hat, taking cover behind the balcony wall, aiming a brightly coloured plastic water gun down to the street.
Green: Enjoying your new watergun?
Blue: Immensely.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are laying down on the floor, with Blue resting across Green's back, effectively pinning him down. While Blue is peacefully asleep, and beginning to softly glow like heated metal, Green looks concerned.
Green, in thought: Oh no, he fell asleep! I'm trapped, and the heat is on!

As Blue's glowing heat only increases, Green struggles to wiggle free from beneath him, with no success.

While Green begins to wither into a vaguely fox-shaped dry stick, Blue - who is still glowing with heat - stirs slightly in his sleep.
Green, still in thought: I'm dehydated, my throat is parched, and I'm being slowly cooked alive in a broth of my own sweat.

Waking up, Blue opens one eye, peering at Green.
Blue: ...Are you okay?
Green, groaning hoarsely: Release me.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is driving while Green is sitting on the passenger seat, looking out of the window. Blue raises his eyebrow incredulously at Green's suggestion.
Green: Hey, that's my friend! Honk!
Blue: What? No!

Green gently nibbles Blue's head as Blue frowns in defeat.
Green: Come on, please? Just to get her attention so I can say hi?
Blue: Alright, alright.

Blue reluctantly honks as Green waves excitedly.
Green: Hiiii!

Green ducks down from the window, lowering his head to hide deeper in his seat, as Blue freezes in mortified horror.
Green: ...That wasn't her.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is carrying Blue on top of his head. Blue looks wide-eyed and stunned, completely wrung dry and shriveled, hanging limp like a rag.
Narration: How to revive an oversocialised introvert:
1. Gently remove from crowds.

Green gently lowers shriveled Blue into a metal stock pot. The pot's lid is leaning against the pot on the side.
Narration: 2. Place in a chilled, dark and quiet place, away from strong smells and sounds.

Sitting down to wait next to the now lidded pot, Green reads a newspaper.
Narration: 3. Let simmer until normal.

Green turns to look towards the pot as Blue peers out, still not fully recovered but now looking much more like his regular self.
Green: Feeling any better yet?
Blue: A little.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the foxes are sitting far apart from each other, facing opposite directions. Green looks annoyed while Blue looks devastated.
Blue, thinking: He's gotten bored of me, he's sick of my presence, he doesn't love me anymore and he's going to abandon me, just like all good things in my life will.

Still looking frustrated, Green turns his head to look at Blue, interrupting his thoughts. Blue looks absolutely shocked.
Green: I still don't know why you're mad at me, by the way.
Blue: What? I thought - !

Both startled, the foxes hurry to each other.
Blue: You're not mad at me?!
Green: I thought you were!

Blue and Green coil together as tightly as they can, both squeezing their eyes shut.
Blue: Then why were you so distant?!
Green: I was trying to give you space!

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are running errands. Green is alert and looking around at their surroundings, while Blue is visibly suffering.
Green: I love the city, but I feel like there's something amiss. Something's off.

As Blue replies, still looking miserable, Green turns around, towards the sound of musical notes playing from somewhere nearby.
Blue: All cities have something ontologically wrong with them: Being cities to begin with.
Green: There!

Blue and Green begin rushing towards the source of the music.
Green: Music! That's the first street musician we've seen all day!

Finally reaching the fox playing an accordion, Green drops several coins to the musician's dish.
Accordion fox: Thank you!
Green: No, thank you!

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green, who is wrapped up in four different blankets, with a cup of coffee balancing on top of his head.
Blue: Are you cold?
Green: No, I'm cozy.

Blue sits down, and Green frowns at his suggestion.
Blue: If it's too cold here, we can jut turn the heat up.
Green: But then it's too hot for you!

Blue raises his tail in frustration, while Green continues glaring.
Blue: It's not fair that you always suffer for me.
Green: I don't.

Both foxes calm down.
Green: If I'm too cold, I can get cozy. If you're too hot, you suffer.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk.
Green: What are you going to do if you outlive me?
Blue: Die also.
Green: I feel like you'd get weird with it. Like turn my grave into a shrine, or something like that.

Blue raises an eyebrow in disbelief.
Blue: A shrine?
Green: Like the widowed dad in that french movie you've never seen.
Blue: I've never seen a french movie in my entire life.
Green: That's how I know you haven't seen it.
