      Now *that* is predictive sci fi at its best. The heck with FTL travel and antigravity and true AI. 🙂

      It’s the second appearance of meltless icecream in the comic! Also found here: https://lovenotfound.com/comic/ch18-p37/ on panel 5
      And I too want a meltless icecream as I write from a sunny Australian summer.

    It’s so very clear how much Ivy admires Verbena. The way she’s literally looking up to her sister in each of these panels is so heart-warming considering how I think many of us feared this interaction was going to go!

    I’ve loved the background Island scenery in these recent pages.

    It’s so nice to see them being happy together. I hope that is a trend. Something is adorable about siblings when one is more outgoing than the other, but the seem like two peas in a pod.

    I’m glad it looks like they had fun together! Getting along with your sister can be rough sometimes..

    I love how this debunks the negative responses to who Verbena is as a person. There are dynamics here that some don’t understand and others who project their own experiences onto who she is, creating this toxic person, whereas I’ve seen her as someone just trying to bond with her sister but her mother makes it difficult and slides ulterior motives into it. The colorism of the situation is on a very thin line, where the darker sister with the more ethnic hairstyle is allowed to be seen as the problem child and the mother genetically engineered a lighter, softer daughter and dotes on her. People will miss this if they aren’t black.

      That aspect of Ivy being a designer baby didn’t occur to me. It seems like a significant point, so I’ve added some of your comment to an unofficial wiki https://lovenotfound-fans.fandom.com/wiki/Verbena_and_Ivy Hopefully, I haven’t butchered your comment. I am anxious to remove/correct any misinformation I’ve been putting on that wiki.

      Agree with you right up to the last line. Not black and definitely noticed that the lighter-skinned daughter was the favored one. But, I’m sure there’s others who didn’t pick up on it so it’s good that you pointed it out

      South Asian and agree also. Lots of favouring the fairer skinned child happens in my culture too.

      Hispanic (Puertorrican if we’re more specific) here and the skin tone thing is something I caught onto as well. Especially the part about the hair. My sister is lighter skinned, skinnier and with straight hair while I’m slightly darker in skin tone, slightly heavier and with curly hair (similar to Poppy’s when she had it longer, actually) and the passive aggressive compliments were a lot. Like why don’t I just straighten my hair? Or even why did my dad have a black child from a particularly racist grandma I had. And mind you, I’m nowhere near these characters skin colors.

      In my culture (though it seems its slowly changing for the better) I heard comments like “marry a white woman to fix your race”, “black hair is bad hair”, and all those shitty comments. Luckily, newer generations seem to be done with that shit and calling it out, but it’s a long road to go.

      I’m as white as they come and I didn’t pick up on that nuance, so thanks for sharing that. It is true their mother pits them against each other. I hope that they will stand up to her.

    It would be nice to see Verbena say to her mum, “Ivy and I had a great time on the cruise–we were able to have some fun together. Thank you for paying for my cruise.”

    I really like the subtle and not-so-subtle themes in this comic about family and societal pressure trying to push us to ‘be’ one way when we really need to ‘be’ another way. While Abeille’s struggles with her mom are more overt, I see others having similar pressures/issues such as these sisters, and nearly as much as Abeille they need to tell their mother to butt out so that they can create the relationship they’re supposed to have.
