 Softies (Webcomic)
comment
Softies is an episodic Sci-fi comedy webcomic. When the Earth just kind of explodes, the sole human survivor, Kay, becomes the world’s youngest space debris. She’s rescued from the vacuum by Arizona, an alien space-waste collector, and Euclid, his erudite cybernetic pet. Stumbling through a galaxy full of alien life together, they meet new faces, get in trouble, and say big words.

comment
Aliens Speaking English: Kay is the only human in the setting and Earth is entirely unheard of by the broader universe, but everyone speaks in English (barring specific alien terms and Thestrich's use of "pardonnez").

All There in the Manual: The Cast page has a bunch of info that isn't mentioned in the comic, such as each character's species and homeworld.

Sand In My Eyes: Kay makes an offhand remark about Arizona getting emotional about visiting home, only for him to retort that he doesn't cry because his species doesn't have tear ducts. Later on she sees his sister cry, and quickly realizes that he was lying.

Inexplicable Cultural Ties: Interplanerary jargon aside, a lot of the planets Kay visits aren't all that unfamiliar compared to Earth.

Ambiguous Gender: With Arizona and Euclid's long eyelashes and Kay's lack thereof and androgynous style, it would be easy to get their genders confused on first look.

Casual Interstellar Travel: Arizona is essentially an interstellar garbage man, collecting junk from various planets and cleaning up space debris, occasionally finding useable salvage that he can resell on other planets.

comment
Stepford Smiler: Hinted at occasionally in Book One, but comes to a head in "Everybody Wants to Have a World": Kay has a lot of unresolved feelings about losing her home, but refuses to acknowledge any of it and quickly changes the subject whenever it comes up. Arizona has failed to pick up on this because he's spent most of his life bottling up all of his feelings and keeping all of his friends and family at arm's length. His sisters point this out to him, and he doesn't take it well.

Collector of the Strange: Kay ends up keeping any Earth trinkets the group recovers in their salvage. Eventually her collection takes up too much room on the ship, prompting Arizona to bring her to his family's home on Squambal so they can store it in his old room.
