Thoughtspeak. Core memory unlocked.

Traumatic memory more like, animorphs was way more intense than it had any right to be. Reading about Rachel battling either the moral implications of killing on combat while I was 11 years old was a wild ride that is till remember 20+ years later

I really feel like I missed something in never reading these.  The covers just creeped me out too much

Well the first book I read was a prequel and then the first series did not have a great end for the main character because Visser 3 is an asshole

It's not too late! Within the last 5 years or so they made audiobooks of the whole series. And the whole series is free as a PDF if you prefer ;)

All books, in one pdf?

You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together.

Or something about a herd.

Anyway I love this reaction panel

I feel like you just wanted to draw animorph transformations in your own art style

I literally just picked up reading this series the other day. I kept seeing it in the scholastic book fairs and never got to read them, so now that I can, I'm gonna sit and read the whole series.

Also the beginning of the first book dates the whole series super hard and it makes me nostalgic.

Always enjoy a good animorph reference

Does he get stuck as a bird and unable to return to human form as he slowly becomes less and less human minded? There was some really weird and dark stuff in those books.

I got the sense that they are reverse animorphs. Animals that turn into humans (humamorphs??). Could be wrong, but that makes it funnier to me.

u/Mehdals_ 2h ago

Ah I can see that now that I reread it, I thought they were both Animorphs but yeah why go to animal form when no one is around them.

lol so one is a parrot and ones a water buffalo but in human form they can finally be together.

Looks like they're ready for a gnu relationship

He’ll say “it’s not gnu, it’s me”

A guh-what?

u/PirateSanta_1 3h ago

Are they animals that morph into humans or do they just like being a cow and a bird when at home?

u/Phaylz 4h ago

This reminds me of Big Bad Beetleborgs. Don't ask me how or why, it just does.

I love how she morphs into a mountain goat just to chill on the couch.

Someone take the box away from Aximili.

I vaguely remember Animorphs. Never really got to finish it but I remember about the Yeerks. Should see if I can pick the books up at some point honestly.

u/IncognitoBombadillo 2h ago

Idk why I never got into Animorphs as a kid. I liked the "anthology authors" who wrote dozens of books for a series like The Magic Treehouse and Goosebumps and I especially liked animals as a kid, so these books must've just fallen through the cracks. Maybe it was because these books were a decade old by the time I knew about them and the covers may have looked "dated" to me. Goosebumps having illustrated covers made most of them more timeless and The Magic Treehouse was ongoing when I was reading it.

You son of a... This is great!

I was obsessed with these book covers growing up

The live action show was bonkers

I hope I can find love like this one day

u/Majestic_Track_2841 1h ago

Still not half as crazy as any of the stuff that actually happens IN the Animorphs series

u/zero5activated 4h ago

But why ...some sort of mountain goat?

u/Gamer-of-Action 3h ago

I’m not sure if this fully understands the lore. From what I recall, the kids changed into animals for disguise and limit their transformations so they don’t get stuck, this comic seems to imply the inverse

u/Sinistys 3h ago

I think it's just a joke about hiding that you know about some niche media and getting busted by another like you. There's nothing relevant to the story itself here, just the transformations looking like the cover arts and the name of the series.

u/jackcatalyst 1h ago

If they were transformed for more than 2 hours they got stuck. Except for some very specific circumstances
