Imagine Tetsuko, Stan, Lu, Monty Bank and several other beloved protagonists working together to smash their way through diverse levels, enemies, and puzzles to face the malevolent egomaniac Brandi in an cataclysmic showdown. 

😮
I am most humbled, Mr. Axel.

My Monty… to fight side by side with Lu, Stan… and That Blonde Too Beautiful to Name…

You flatter me.  🙂
I guess Monty'd be the token smarty/small speedy irritating guy all the baddies wanna kill first (or last, if they're REALLY mean.)

It would be better than EA games recent issues at least.

🙄
Well, THAT goes without saying.  😛

I must concur on the amnesia fault.  Only I blame Stan for not wishing himself out of that jam.  Or a Monty Python-sized foot on said vampiress' head.

Still, it's good writin'.  You're keeping this turkey in suspense.

What's not to like? 😉

I have to admit, writing this was pretty emotional for me.  marknew742's original story did that.  In fact, thinking about it got me in a bad mood sometimes, and I had to check myself and get my mood right before I left the computer.

I seldom like seeing someone suffer a lose-lose situation and have no recourse at all to fight back or cope.  I guess I reacted with that to let everyone know that all actions have consequences.

Admittedly all this happened pretty fast, and things were compressed in time for drama's sake.  Originally I wanted the guys to tote in the guns and let the risk simmer lowly, and not boil over for a week or so for realism's sake, and my characters a chance to grow, and develop a bit more..

But SOMEBODY (*cough koffalexkoff*) decided to get cute and throw a milkshake in the ceiling fan in Marylin's e-mail column.

I may have to go back and write the days before Jimmy Templeton's Thursday to give all the other character's backstories since so many new folks have popped up.

Should I drop a few hints on what'll happen in JT's Thursday:  Sundown on Wrath?

Of course, I'm waiting for Mr. Newman's Thursday to continue before I do any of it.

Thanks.  I shall as soon as Mark gets the ball rolling on his end.

[JimmyDimples]

So far, so good. 

Minor suggestion, though?  Can you break the text into more paragraphs?  The two big blocks of letters sorta intimidated me a bit. ^_^;;;

While there's not really much new that I'm going to add, this tugged at my heartstrings enough to answer.

When I saw "Super Size She," two things screamed at me the loudest:  (1) all the unhealthy things and tricks the bodybuilder did to give the appearance of the strongest (even when she was at her physically weakest then… there's a metaphor in there somewhere), and (2) when it was over, she was in Vegas, she made it to the competition, and had her folks alive and well with her in the city, and she was well enough to try it again next year… and she STILL wasn't smiling.

My two cents' worth, Tara?  To do something for others' approval is most likely the WORST reason.  Strong looking and strong bodied women are great, but I'd much rather see a strong character in action.  One strong enough to say, "I don't need to wreck myself for some trophy or others' oohs and ahs."

When I was lifting weights stateside, I KNEW I'd never make a bodybuilding qualifier, let alone a championship.  I just did it because (1) I needed to burn fat, and (2) when I was in the bathroom to check my arm for zits, and I saw and felt these big hard bulges that weren't there earlier, I thought "Dang.  I actually got muscles."  😀 And wanted to see how far I could take it.

There's only one person I competed against, and that was the person I was before.

Maybe you can do that.  Get a picture of you at the start, and record the progress.  Before, During, After. 

Hmmm… maybe it's possible to get enough still pictures of yourself day to day, and we can make a growth sequence video of it?

Whatever you do… do it safely, and do it for YOU.  🙂

All right! Mr. Fanservice Emporium himself!  😀

Let me be the first to welcome you from lurk mode!  And you've done a very, very good job with this particular revamp. 

Think we can show them what you've done with the original formula?  😆

[JimmyDimples]

Yeah.  What Mr. Matthews said.  😎

Nice comic so far! 🙂

Here's my caption contest entry:  "Look, Ma, no cavities!"

(P.S.: I doubt Mr. deGoff is going to be so lucky once this is over…)

(P.P.S.: I know, I know, next time I'll write one AFTER my morning coffee.)
