Description I promised myself I would not try to play and untangle the complicated chronology game, but darn it...I fell into that trap!

The only thing we know for sure is Firelord Azulon's age at death: 95, as mentionned in an interview with the creators.

Iroh looks older than his brother Ozai, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was close to twice his age. So Iroh could be anywhere between 25-30 by the time Ozai was born, which could put Azulon in his 60's.

Alright, I'll stop here before I go in too deep and get confusticated with people's ages and chronology.

Still, when Iroh learned the news he would have a younger sibling, it must have come as quite a shock (happened to my cousins actually)!

Rough pencils: two thumbnails done on one 8,5X11 piece of paper. I just put the pages one above the other for easier reading. Just a bunch of talking heads again.

All characters belong to Bryan, Mike, Nickelodeon and Viacom. Trying to make sense of that world can cause headaches.

The child is actually what would become his brother- Ozai.
There is a rather big age gap between Ozai and Iroh. It also meant that his father (Azulon) was relatively old when Ozai was born.
I hope to update the AU comic soon. I must get a bit more work done first. Ah, silly deadlines...

Oh, "Sibling"! I was thinking spouse or something. Stupid relative "S" words that confuse me!

I couldn't tell you why, but I REALLY like the repetition of "Two ways," and the holding up of the fingers.

Heh-heh. My grandmother was pregnant with her first child at the same time that her mother was pregnant with the FIRST of my grandmother's younger siblings. Now that must have been wierd. (I know my grandfather was laughing his butt off.)

Is he choking on his tea, there? XD

rufftoon In reply to wee-donut [2007-05-20 19:36:55 +0000 UTC]

No tea choking, just a bad breath intake and there he goes, coughing his lungs out. Effect of surprise from that message.

Iroh is a bit tricky to draw (less than Sokka though). Comes with practice

Oh man, I guess it would have become a very Azula type sister. Ouch! She'd be burning the gifts her older brother sent her.

Hey, young Jeong Jeong looks fine.
I like the composition of the first panel with the camp down in the valley. Iroh's expression in the seventh panel is priceless - "no mental image available" - heheheh!
With a little sister, the story of Avatar would probably go in a totally different direction.

Oh man, who knows how different history would have gone if it had been a sister...or maybe, it wouldn't have changed much. Maybe we'd have the equivalent of an Azula as ruler of the firenation. Scary thoughts...

flederschatten In reply to rufftoon [2007-05-21 13:20:01 +0000 UTC]

Really scary... *shudders*

On the other hand, if Iroh was consequent in spoiling the little sister, she would totally idolize him.

He probably would have, seeing as how he was sending gifts to his niece and nephew even during war time.

Correction to the writting "a little sister," i'm sure you ment "a little girl,"

Pretty good images you've got there though

rufftoon In reply to Jonat [2007-05-20 19:44:52 +0000 UTC]

Well, if it is his father and mother that have a child, then it would be a little sister (though it turned out to be a little brother, but he doesn't know that yet).
Many thanks!

Who's the other character? He's really cool. ^^
I love Iroh. And my favourite shot is the one where the other guy says "two and if it's a little girl..." If you would do that shot in big, coloured and everything, it would be SUPERCUTE. XD Lol.

rufftoon In reply to CartoonJessie [2007-05-20 19:46:35 +0000 UTC]

The other guy would be a younger Jeong Jeong. They were in the army at about the same time. I don't know if officially they ever met, but it's much funnier to make them war buddies.

I was two months away from being fourteen exactly when my baby sis was born, and that felt weird, but if I was in my twenties/thirties? That would screw with your head. And the mental images you''d have...

Oh my, I never felt that way when my younger siblings came into this world, I was 3 when my sister came and 4 when my brother came. Oh boy...I wondered if I was 20 and I just happened to have a younger sibling, I would have the same reaction as Iroh-ness there. XD

Haha, a moment of shock and choking...and then, thinking of the fun possibilities!
