4''[[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/ KiLA iLO]]'' is a webcomic about two (later three) unlikely alien explorers.
5
6The artist has drawn a prologue comic which has been added to the comics archives but originally featured on the artist's [[http://tousebothsyllables.deviantart.com/ DeviantArt account page.]]
7
8The main characters consist of:
9* [=KiLA iLO:=] A small, sarcastic furry alien (jukani) with a mysterious past
10* Richard Ferris: A porcupine-like alien (stronian) and easygoing guy.
11* Dr Kao: A blue-green insect-like alien (mirentian), company boss and Kila's employer.
12* Diphtheria: a preteen human girl from a family of mad scientists, and (along with her friend/henchman Rooter) the first human to discover the alien presence.

14While the comic is no longer on its original site, it is available on the [[https://www.cassiecartoons.com/kila-ilo-index/ artist's website]] and [[https://tapas.io/episode/1133730 tapas.]]

16----
17!!This webcomic contains example of:
18
19* AerithAndBob: The two main characters. Being from different alien races will do that.
20* AlienHair: Kila's 'Hair' is actually a crest, made of fingernail-like material.
21* AliensStealCable: Richard, Kila and later Dr Kao learn about humans via the internet.
22* BackAlleyDoctor: Kila was good and what she did, but what she did was highly illegal.
23* BlackSheep:Richard Ferris, a polite easy going, timid guy from a respected crime family. [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1099357/bye-mom/ His mother isn't happy with his career choice.]]
24* CommonTongue: Galactic standard, which Kila speaks with an accent.
25* DismantledMacGuffin: The weapon (maybe).
26* FingerlessHands: Richard lacks fingers but does seem to have telekinesis.
27* HandicappedBadass: Kila. She's deaf in one ear, took a stab wound in the side, a hammer smashed against her hand, punched a door, her arm has been implied to have been severed at one point and directly shown to have been badly dislocated, and her spiky subordinate unintentionally stabs her with needles when they have physical contact. She also was born with birth defects and cannot taste or smell. Also, she's kind of short. Despite this, she's probably done more actual work than most of the cast, has very good aim with a gun, and is pretty believable when she boasts to being able to kill monsters in 10 minutes flat.
28* HeadTiltinglyKinky: [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1292354/random/ Researching on the internet.]]
29* HolographicDisguise: Used to blend in with the locals. It also makes Richard look like a dog-rabbit-thing.
30* HumanoidAliens: The usual fare in this story; Skir and Richard look more like [[IntelligentGerbil non-humanoid Earth animals]] but still have HumanoidAlien personalities.
31* InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: The aliens didn't even know Earth was inhabited by intelligent life, let alone they were technologically advanced.
32* LostSuperweapon: What the two were sent to Earth to look for -- well, the pieces of it, anyway.
33* MadDoctor: Viktiér Frénishin, the patchwork queen. [[spoiler:Aka Kila.]]
34* ManEatingPlant: Apparently the plant life isn't that friendly on Kila's home world. There may also be killer trees. (Mentioned [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1314535/lest-you-forget/ here]])
35* MoleMen: Rooter, apparently, a claim supported by his name and the fact that he [[RedRightHand always wears oven mitts]]...
36* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Diphtheria is named for a potentially fatal disease that targets children.
37* {{Omniglot}}: Kila states that she speaks five languages and learns new ones quickly, apparently a species trait. She does seem to have a noticeable accent, however.
38* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The heroes -- a respectable scientist, a really sketchy scientist, and a guy from a family of criminals. Kila seems to have a tendency to get roped into especially shady groups of these.
39* RunningOnAllFours: Kila, although she does mention she could [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1169026/im-running-im-running/ break her fingers]].
40* SubspaceAnsible: Allowing you to yell at people across the galaxy [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1188683/the-phone/ at 4am]].
41* TeenGenius: Diptheria.
42* {{Teleportation}}: Can be used to send small items long distances, but there is no indication it can be used on larger or organic items.
43* TranslatorMicrobes: May involve [[http://theworldisyours.smackjeeves.com/comics/1310313/implant/ brain surgery]].
