Questions :P

Im a new guy on the forums from iceland, which checks for new comics everyday

And i have a question.... You say in your newest comic that there do not exist Orca's in Furrae... Then i have a question. Could you not make Orca's appear through a portal (which the human in this comic: http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_054.php ) Probably did. I noticed that you draw even Cute Orca's and ive never seen a cute one before lol.

Arguable.

Amber has sort-of suggested that the early comic is less than canon, and subject to retcon. It's generally accepted that specific answers from the really early arcs (Merlitz & The Human, for example) are... less accurate than the later ones. So while there may or may not have been a portal back then, if Amber today says there Are No Orcas, then there are no Orcas, and that's the end of it. You probably could make such a portal and bring an Orca through it, but if Amber says there are none, then such a thing hasn't happened.

And probably won't - after all, she's said that the Mer rule the waves, and chances are such an Orca would be talking to Mer... and there won't be any Mer in the comic, so who would the Orca talk to?

Also, you've posted this to the forum, not to Amber herself, so unless the Great Lady responds, any answers you get are likely to be Not Canon - ie, best guess rather than explicitly correct.

Take that as you will...

...For some reason I was expecting a GDI Orca to fly out of the portal...

But your version is funnier and makes more sense anyway.

Welcome, Anepo!

By the looks of it they were active for almost exactly 30 minutes, so it may have been a one-hit wonder...
