"You're afraid of heights?"
"No, just afraid of falling from heights."
Exactly. It's odd how many people can't seem to understand this distinction!

XD Your gryphony character there is hilarious; the face he (she?) is wearing in the panel where he (she?) is pleading to be grabbed by the scary mystery hands as well is perfect. In fact, all your characters are awesome, and why on EARTH did I only just realize that I haven't read any of their ref sheets?! Clearly this is a travesty that must be rectified, esp. since you're totally on my list of people to root for.

Great first page, Mirth! Can't wait to see the rest! Keep it up!

I can stand in a glass elevator and look down or stand high on a mountain or bridge and enjoy the view, I love roller-coasters even the ones that stop at the top and look down and I want to go skydiving one day, thus I know I'm not afraid of heights. But I refuse to go on a Ferris Wheel because it rocks and I'm terrified of falling out. Those things are just not secure! I freeze on the top of ladders when they're leaning against a wall, because it might just shift from under me, which it has in the past. (luckily it was only a few feet off the ground, but it means I can't comfortably get into the attic without having to fight my fear every time.) So yeah, there is a distinction between the two for me. Glad to know that it's not just me thinking that!

Well when you've been flapping for that long trying to fly vertical with no updraught, you'd be begging for an easy lift too.

XD yeah I can tell you've not read the refs, but I won't hold it against you, refs are boring. She's a Manticore crossed Sphinx, though manticores aren't that well known anyway.

Yay I'm on a rooting list! Do I get free roots?

Thanks ^^ I can't wait to finish this comic too, it's not too shabby in my humble opinion.

I agree with pretty much all of that, although I don't have a fear of ferris wheels. Ladders just make me want to be extra careful. But there was this one time when we actually got to go parasailing in Hawaii, and I'm 800 feet in the air, and all I can think about it, "If that ONE SINGLE CARABINER attaching my seat here to the parasail were to somehow magically break...I would die." Really sobered the experience, esp. since carabiners pretty much cannot break. :I But yes, my friend, I do very well understand.

XD Okay, true.

Y'know, now that I've glanced at them, I think I looked at them briefly but just didn't READ them. This will soon be fixed. THAT explains you promising her wings!

If you would like, although I shall do you one better! *loads you up with root beer and carrots*

Hurrah! When the artist herself is willing to admit that a comic is good (which you know happens rarely, we're all just so horrible to ourselves), then we know it will be most wonderful! ^^ Looking forward to it!

*dunks the carrots in the root beer* yummy roots.

Well, I say it's not too shabby, could be better of course, I could probably think of several things I could do better, but it's fit for purposes XD

Eh well I'm using it as a pun, since they're flying lizards, but if you missed the previous two pages then it's understandable you'd miss that, so no worries, if anything it was my bad.
