DISQUS

Congratulations - I wish you all the best in getting settled in Texas.

Y'know, just the fact that Fang is giving a bandit a noogie in the second-to-last panel was enough to reduce me to a tear-soaked, giggling heap on the floor.

Why do I suddenly find Bactine's fortune from the Desert of Shards so very, very applicable?

It actually refers to a really old comic of mine, called NeTrek. The quality is awful, but the werewolf gags can be found there.

She's back, huzzah! I'm off the hook, even more huzzah!

Considering my girlfriend's in a group of very dedicated-to-details cosplayers ...

Potter? I'm like five years too young for him, according to in-story canon.

Right on the money. It ranks right up there with the bursting vein for anger or frustration, the nose-bubble for sleep, and the blush for . . . well, just about everything, really.

Oh, duh! Almost forgot to mention - read this one right to left, like a page from a manga. I really don't know why that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Translation note, last panel: "Kowai ..." meaning "Scary ..."

Kawaii/kowai is a pretty common Japanese pun, from what I've been told.

Translation note for panel 1: "Stupid dog."

Translation note for Simon, panel 1: "Sheesh! At least ..."

Translation note for Dr. Luprand, panels 3 and 4:

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... FIRE!

Gah, almost forgot to mention some translation stuff. The bit at the top is (if my friend the actual Japanese-speaker holds true) the equivalent of "What the-?!"

I do, in fact, attend a certain Y university that just happens to have a certain feline mascot. If all goes well, I graduate in December as yet another English major to clog the unemployment lines.

Indeed, the pages are already sent over to Colby, and soon enough you'll all have to endure a good solid two weeks or so of my drawings. I apologize in advance.

Truly ad hominem.
