I’ll be that guy… in reality, an Axolotl and a Chameleon aren’t going to be hanging out and looking at the night sky. Axolotls live under water and can spend short periods of time outside of the water. Chameleons live above water and spend almost no time under water. These two animals live in environments that are inherently exclusive to one another.

Maybe they're star crossed lovers

I like how you had to dive into those specifics to see this was unrealistic, and both of them speaking and understanding English is completely looked over.

Talking animals? Fine! But damned if two from different habits are hanging out! Suspension of disbelief broken!

Anthropomorphism is substantially more common than aquatic animals comfortably living on land.

Anthropomorphism is attributing human traits to non-humans. Maybe the axolotl has the human trait of being just fine on land. That's why both are sitting like humans.

There, I fixed it for you. You can now enjoy the comic.

Haha, I respect where you are coming from with that.

It's a cute comic dude.

No one is asking you to be that guy. No one cares.

Yeah, that's what makes it such a fun Hallmark ~~fish~~ axolotl-out-of-water movie! Duh...
