comment
Drop-Out is a short-run Furry comic, now completed, by gray Folie.Lead characters Sugar (she/her), a tarsier/sugar glider crossbreed, and Lola (she/her or they/them), a marine hydroid, are a nonbinary lesbian couple, each with their own issues with their families, gender identity, and physical and mental health. Sugar, depressed after her cousin's suicide and no longer caring about her in-progress master's degree, declares her intention to drive cross-country to the Grand Canyon and jump in to her death, as her cousin did. She asks Lola to come with her, and Lola, feeling she has nothing to live for without Sugar, agrees.The comic can be read here. Content warnings for obvious in-depth discussion of suicide, familial abuse, medical abuse, and drug and alcohol use.No relation to the Dropout streaming service.

Pictorial Speech-Bubble: One page has the car radio producing speech bubbles full of multicolored scribbles in order to convey the sound of radio static. The next page has a speech bubble with a "connected" icon when Lola connects their phone with the aux.

Carnivore Confusion
 Drop-Out (Webcomic) / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: Word of God is that non-anthropomorphic animals do exist in this universe but are rarer, and meat supplies are boosted by anthropomorphs leaving their bodies for the purpose in their wills. Sugar inherited her tarsier parent's dietary needs and has to eat meat, which is a contributing factor to her depression as she feels like a "burden".

Intersex Tribulations
 Drop-Out (Webcomic) / int_4e486f1b
comment
Intersex Tribulations: Both of the main couple are somewhere under the intersex umbrella, along with both of Sugar's mothers and Sugar's ex-girlfriend Frankie. It's not specified what types of intersex condition Sugar or Lola have, and the artist has gone on record as stating that they don't want to state it outright as it's none of the reader's business, though the exact symptoms and experiences they display might make it possible to guess for readers familiar with the topic. (It can be inferred that one of Sugar's mothers has partial androgen insensitivity, since both are confirmed to be assigned female at birth and one of them produced viable sperm, and Frankie is stated to have Klinefelter's.) It has affected both of their upbringings and relationships with their genders differently.

Hereditary Homosexuality
 Drop-Out (Webcomic) / int_53367dfd
comment
Hereditary Homosexuality: Sugar is the intersexed lesbian daughter of two intersexed lesbian moms. The intersex part may be justified as there are known genetic components to many intersex conditions, and she explicitly says she inherited it from both of them.

 Drop-Out (Webcomic) / int_767f84ea
comment
Does Not Like Men: Sugar considers masculinity inherently predatory, and hates her own unfeminine and carnivorous traits, feeling they play into each other. This seems to be part of why ze went back in the closet about zer genderqueer status.

Non-Human Non-Binary: The actual trope is averted, despite them both being both nonbinary and non-human. Their society is still very human, Word of God is that they are in fact genetically modified humans, and their experiences are very much like those of a nonbinary human.

Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Lola has no feet, just blunt-ended legs, and can't wear shoes. Sugar usually does, but goes barefoot at home and at one point forgets that she isn't barefoot during the journey, accidentally kicking something when trying to pick it up with her thumbed tarsier foot.

Gender-Blender Name: Lola's never-stated deadname was intentionally picked to be gender neutral due to their intersex status, but they chose a feminine new one, subverting the usual expectations for nonbinary people's names.

Suicide Pact: Sugar convinces Lola to do this at the start of the comic. Sugar is depressed after her cousin's suicide and knows Lola is also suicidal, and knows they both have struggles, and thinks the two of them committing suicide together will be "so romantic."

Suicidal Sadistic Choice: Unintentionally done by Sugar to Lola. Without Sugar, Lola can't pay for the apartment and has no family and nowhere else to go, and fears being blamed for Sugar's death by their loved ones. Sugar meant to be romantic, but she put Lola in a very difficult position.
