Link to PROLOGUE: [link]
I hearby dedicate this comic to and as both of them made "George of the Jungle" Jokes in the comments on the last episode, wherein Sam ran himself into a tree.
Happy really late 1000 page views!
And also a special thanks again to Jesse, because if he wasn't a wonderful critic, the dialogue in this chapter would have been TERRIBLE.
EDIT: And another special thanks to who suggested adding musical notes in Arcee's last line of dialogue.
A quick note on the fact that this is in color: Don't expect this to become the "Norm", as I thought it would be easy to just draw 1 panel in color and then duplicate it with slight modifications so it became a strip.
Well, once I got Sam and Arcee layered and colored in Photoshop, suddenly it seemed like a darn shame not to add a background.
I forgot that a background has to MOVE and ended up juggling about 15 layers and putting in 2 or 3 times MORE work on this than on a black and white chapter.
And here this was just supposed to be some light filler; I'd even considered designating it "Part 4.5" instead of straight up "Part 5".
Well, given the work that went into this, It is being "Official Part 5" whether it likes it or NOT!
Actually, if this is a big enough "hit" I may consider trying to do color more often, it would just mean that production time length would sky-rocket. Please sound off if you would prefer that trade-off.
Notes on Characterization:
I thought it might be fun to have Arcee act "a little stupid" since she's been such a paragon of dignity and poise up until now.

Thanks! since half the humor comes from the looks on his face; they pretty much have to carry the show.
Glad to hear they succeeded!

Thanks!
When I finally got a reference for it I thought it was crazy that that Ducati bike used in the film had so many colors on it; all this time I just thought she was pinkish red!

Aww thanks, and this comic came out beautifully! You color extremely well; I especially like how Arcee came out. As for deciding to color or not, my vote is what ever you feel most comfortable with. You're colors come out lovely but you're black and white style is great too. Since both are of good quality, I'm good with either.

Thanks! I've been told by others that my black and white style is really good, but it's always nice to hear it again!
And also you're welcome about the dedication, too; I still think it's funny that you and Ladyknightskye totally called it with your George of Jungle jokes on part 4. I saw that and I was like: "oh no! they're stealing my thunder!"

And really, Sam deserves to get poked at for running into that tree.

Its too bad she isn't really like this. But then again, seeing as she never really talked, we can say she was! 83

That's my plan exactly!
And I'd say I'd like it if this is the way she was portrayed in the next movie, but Michael Bay doesn't like female Transformers so he'll probably leave her out entirely. Jerk.

Seriously, I don't understand HOW he became the arbiter of the live-action films' fates... it's like he comes from a parallel universe where being a 44year old man who acts like a 10year old child is rewarded and encouraged!
Sorry, sorry... I'd best not get started or we'll be here all day!

Some musical notes to further signify Arcee singing that song would be win. Love the color btw.

Heh, Don't know if you're interested, but I took your advice on the musical notes:
Done, and... DONE!

Musical Notes? DOH! Why didn't I think of that? One of the alternate ideas actually had her playing the song through her radio! argh!
Thanks for suggesting it though! So shall it be done!

No problem.
It reminded me of an incident I had this morning after waking up real early and having to "lubricate" and hit the side of my bedroom door and it hurt like hell!
(Yesterday I gotten some kind of virus which gave me a headache, upset stomach and felt very cold. But now I'm finally all better!
