Description The heavens themselves objected to me getting this page done on time. First throwing the usual random events in the way, and when that has only limited success, striking me down with a stomach bug! Still, better now and with page in hand! Yay!
I was actually going to make this page even more of a manga pastiche and put the sound effects in Japanese as well, but I'm pretty sure somebody's bound to complain just 'cause I've put one line of non-plot important Japanese in the comic. Gimme a break, I have a degree in Japanese, I have to amuse myself somehow! If you really need to know, the line reads 'omaera-!' (oh-my-eh-raa) which best translates as 'Oi, you lot!' The equivalent english just wasn't as funny, appropriate or in character somehow. I say 'in character' because I'll be really surprised if anybody doesn't know who that is, hahahahahahahaha. It was pretty fun to make a page that's full of samurai manga clichΓ©s. If the comic wasn't set in early autumn, there would be cherry blossoms, haha.

Hmm, take a shot now if somebody hasn't read my comments, doesn't get the joke and complains in a comment about the Japanese being there in an Englis comic or that the page is clichΓ©d....

I like that the time is 11:38. Nice homage to Lucas. ^_~

Yay for FDG.

Umm, actually, 11.38 was just a random time I came up with that sounded right. Subliminal maybe? I'm not sure what you're referring to! 0_o;

George Lucas? The dude who did Star Wars? One of his earlier movies was THX 1138. Subsequent movies (notably, Star Wars) then tended to namecheck 1138 (and reference other movies that he made). XD

Yeah, I know lucas made Star Wars, but I haven't seen THX, since I'm told it's tear-inducingly boring. I have heard about the number thing now you mention it (on SW documentaries etc.), but it may have only come to me subconciously to use that number, I thought it had a seven in it for some reason...

Heehee. "Oi, you lot". One of the most common things shouted to me and my mates during class. We should work a little harder when Frank is about...

beautiful page <3 So much movement is brought to it so effortlessly
