I find this confusing. I looked for a long time before I got it. The protagonists switch directions and I wasn’t sure who was who. I thought one of the parents turned rainbow and some new guy started yelling at them from out of frame. I think the parents should stay the same direction and the new guy should enter from stage left. And the pointing arm should come from stage right so we know it’s the parents.
That’s way better! There should probably be 2 angry green ones in the last panel because it still could be construed as one parent turning rainbow.
That’s another stupid thing about this strip, chameleons choose their colours so can change colours at their whim. That’s where the inherent misunderstanding comes from.
Come on, really? Parents tell them to get out, pointing to the right, so I just imagined the kid going right untill they found an adult queer, and parents just turned.
It’s not that deep man, you and the others need to work on your comprehension skills holy shit.
It’s a shame art is interpreted by individuals. The comic strip format demands the content to be very clear to allow the message to show through. This strip makes me think about what the hell is going on and so the message gets sidelined.
Also, chameleons choose their colours and can be any colour at any moment. That seriously dilutes the message for me because any of the characters could be any chameleon. Going from two chameleons on a branch, adding a new one and then seeing only one on the original branch makes me think one parent went rainbow, because chameleons change fucking colours
Sorry my interpretation made you mad. Get fucked I guess.
Yeah, this comic really suffers from some poor decisions, most of which you already covered. But I wanted to add that since chameleons are chiefly known for being able to change their colors (though not in the way most people think, but I digress), the poor layout absolutely makes you think that one of the parent chameleons changed to show support while the other didn’t. But it still doesn’t quite work that way because of all the teleporting and position swapping, so it just adds to the overall confusion.
With some layout changes and mirroring as another user already mentioned, this comic would be pretty good

Edit: i didn’t flipped only the first panel cuz i don’t like it being to the left and the reading direction would make less sense then
Still needs both the parents on the Branch to avoid confusion
I really didn’t understand the comic until I saw this version. Thank you.

Good one though.
I would’ve add it but i feared that i’d have to redraw too much stuff so it would’ve looked funky
Spoiler
And i am also lazy :3
Thanks btw!
Can you add some unique little hats to each one so their identities can be differentiated?

Yup, if every frame after the first was mirrored (not the text, obvs) this would make much more sense!
Or just the first one for that matter
Oh thank you, it’s pre coffee and I was really struggling to work this one out.
Thank you, I couldn’t figure out what was going on
