Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 59m

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting at his hobby desk with paint jars, paper, unpainted miniatures and other painting paraphernalia set around himself.
Blue: I'm going to paint some miniatures.
Green, unseen in the background: Okay!

Picking up a miniature, Blue goes deep into focus, gently brushing the figurine with a paint brush, making a soft, quiet little "shup" sound every time.

Looking up from his work, Blue turns to listen as Green interrupts his work to say something.
Green: I like the little sound that your brush makes when you paint.

Blue lowers the miniature, looking at it with a frown.
Blue: Well now I'm too self-conscious about that to finish this.
Green: Aw.

Panel 4: Granny interrupts the boy, looking serious and stern. Saying, "No! The water could get-"

Panel 5: Granny interrupts herself, noticing something.

Panel 6: Granny points to the boys light whiskers, suddenly asking: "What IS that on your face."

At a time when the world seems increasingly depressing and stressful, little sources of consistent joy and positivity like Barry are increasingly valuable.

Thanks Barry :-)
