1. No natural diseases occur in the population. Diseases can be brought upon a population through a curse though. 2. More on Southspear will be seen later on, we haven't seen that much from them yet. 3. The heat doesn't exceed much higher than 27C in the desert, the whole island is a collection of temperate to tropical biomes, double coated dogs may be uncomfortable in this heat, but it's not to the point of deadly unless the dog can't find shade for a long period of time. The northern regions of the island can also reach over 25C during the summer, although for a short period of time. Meanwhile in the desert region, the nights turn real cold, and then the ones with a double coat will be a lot more comfortable than the ones without.

They are, she's got stronger ligaments but she will always have a weaker structure. The bengal pattern can be on the face in the form of traditional tiger stripes. Yes

1. Are there cases where dogs have cancer or contracted sexually transmitted diseases? I know there are some transmissible cancers that dogs could catch by mating IRL for example so do your characters also have to worry about different types of diseases that we already have IRL? 2. The three dogs that Jahla helped claimed that Southspear was a brutal tribe and yet so far we've seen nothing about them that was brutal. In fact, they're way better than Meteor Tribe. They just seem like a tribe full of criminals in a deserted place. 3. We were told that life is tough in Southspear but things seem pretty comfortable for all the dogs there. I thought we'd witness more of a malnourished tribe that had mange or some type of disease that's affecting them out there in the desert. I even expected the death toll to be high for the tribe. But again, they seem really comfortable. Rhion's breed I can understand living in a more deserted area because his breed was built for it but a lot of the dogs in southspear have double coats and aren't really built for desert life. I know we're touching on the heat with Ranach but I'm surprised these dogs aren't really dying from being overheated no matter how used to it you get these double-coated dogs are still basically wearing a jacket with all that fur. Only the short-coated gazals I could see surviving this harsh environment. I'm curious about your reason for why so many of these different breeds of dogs are here?

Are Aira's legs any better? Does the Bengal pattern have facial markings? Are the face and undersides of the outlaw coat naturally dark?

1. He has some salted meat in his wrapped up blanket, other than that he has to hunt. 2. Koegos isn't picky ;) 3. Roamer. 4. I do sometimes but it's hard to find the time. It's something to think of when I do sketch livestreams since they usually inspire me a lot. 5. Maybe Rhov or Romé for Rogio. For Roamer, maybe Ferah 6. Roamer hiking yes mwaha. Jahla world travel, she would explore the uncharted places. Ferah I have no idea. Ronja, something with kids.

Yes black flags generally mean a dead/abandoned territory. Usually the capital set these up, and sometimes the tribe themselves if they're moving or dispersing. There were black flags at Lonely Village as well.

1. I'm not sure at what point it was where I could consider myself a professional, art was just a hobby for me for a long time, starting traditionally and them moving over to digital in 2015/2016. I guess I could see myself being a professional artist when I could rely on patreon as my main income, that was idk 3 years ago? XD Timelines are hard. I had a few jobs here and there before patreon, doing commissions for websites and people irl, but I didn't consider myself as professional back then. 2. I think the amount of time I spend drawing has helped me progress in the speed I have. Daily drawing surely does help you evolve, and having a comic forces me to challenge myself to constantly draw new things. 3. I'm not sure, artblocks whenever they happen, luckily they're rare. And sometimes I hit a block in writing, which can create an artblock because I get uninspired.

1) Has Rogio food with him or would he need to hunt while traveling? 2) Idk if that is a spoiler but just curious: Is Koego someone who would jump into bed with anyone or is Ranach his "type"? Not necessarily as love interest but in general? 3) Who made up the text on Kargos grave? I was thinking of Roamer ofc but maybe someone else (Rogio?) came up with it too. 4) Have you ever thought about some sketches from old times? Like, Kargo Rogio becoming friends, Roamer being a pup and "roaming", Ranach Rogio falling in love and stuff like that. I know you have less time these days and that's totally understandable, so I though if done, sketches would be great. Also I like your sketches so there is that. 4) I asked that already about Kargo but if not Roamer, who would be another love interest for Rogio? (And for Roamer too) 5) If they were humans, what primary hobbys would they have: Roamer (hiking? XD) Jahla Ferah Ronja XD that's all for now!

I'm not sure this can be answered but I just thought of it at work x3 is it in the comic itself that black flags mean a dead territory, or is that *just* for the our viewing on the map? Do they really go around placing black flags where a tribe no longer resides for one reason or another? xD (I really just can't remember if we saw them at the lonely village and my phone and work wifi doesn't make looking easy)

1. How did you get started in making art professionally? 2. Your art has changed and improved so much since the beginning of Asmundr! What would you say has made the biggest impact in your growth and improvement as an artist? 3. What do you find is the toughest or most challenging part about making Home?

It's still being done

Kique Nordin

1. They are naturally able to speak. 2. The character. 3. I have plans

Kique Nordin

She was born with a natural bobtail (:

Kique Nordin

Yep that's fine, just give credit (: I have an instagram for the comic "asmundr.home.official", and one for my pets "alien_mammals". That's about it X)

Kique Nordin

Are you still going to do that maned wolf like specie/breed or was it removed from your plans?

Xana Akai

Hi, Kique! Got a couple for you: 1. Are Sagnabu hares naturally able to speak, or do they need to be taught? 2. Which Kargo came first, your dog or the character? 3. Do you plan on making another graphic novel after Home is finished?

Repplica

Hello Kique! I noticed Felidae has a very small tail. Was she born like that or did she have an accident that made her loose part of her tail?

1.) Hi Kique, I fell in love with your comic at first sight. My question is, I'm in the process of becoming an animator soon, would you allow me to animate a comic scene? Ex: Fraujar and Ferah's fight. Of course, crediting you, but if not, I respect your wishes. 😊 2.) Also, do you have any other socials, or are you a faceless creator?
