Fun Fox Fact: the word "geckering" refers to the laughter-like sound made by several mammals including hyenas and monkeys, but the word "gekkering" is used specifically to foxes.

This keeps triggering my Loss detector but it's nooooot quite it.

I'm not a fan of that meme, so I'm glad I avoided it.

Oh no, and I thought it was just a cool comic... godamnit.

It's not loss. Personally I wouldn't do that.

It's just a comic about foxes that I made to make my daughter laugh.

I've known a few humans who geckered. That's no judgment, laughter is wonderful no matter how it comes out. Just an observation.
