Wow, when Greyson suggested eating garlic to help with my congesstion and cough I didn’t really expect it to help. It actually does seem to halt the snot. Now I will go back to bed now because, I need more of the sleep.
By the way, Pectin throat drops are the best things ever. Hall Fruit Breezers are the ones I’m using. Avoid the Cool creamy Strawberry version though, you can sort of taste the medicine on those. But all the other favors are pretty good.
I ramble…

Whoa, freaky clone!
Heh heh, I like how we avoid commenting on how it’s even remotely possibly that Saiko can be moving between being in the car with Lavender and in outer space with the alien girl scouts at the same time. Saiko does not explain either. We just figured that she was just THAT fast. =D
In panel 5 Saiko looks out at the audience and says: “Are you hearing this?” Saiko’s hands are the one’s coming out of the background of panel 7 to get that one alien girl scout. The little asides next to the hands in that panel say “cute!”
Mike sure does draw a lot of panels on the page. I think he’s gotten better about that over time… I think?
I the last panel Saiko complains: “I feel so used… again!”
Sorry for the late update in this page. I’ll try to do better with the updates and not sleep most of day. I think I almost have this cough killed, though.
Lol, I think I broke Webcomicnation updating the “Saiko and Lavender” webcomic. So sadly no page update for now. I knew that I shouldn’t have waited so long but the sleeping in the middle of the day was sooo nice. I’m sure the site will be up again soon and I’ll be able to spam this website with comics again. But anyway…
My friend Ed called me up today and I helped drop him off at the airport. I hope the flying to California went smoothly for him. Oh, and I mailed some letters for him… not sure that anyone else really needs to know about that but if he checks here at least he’ll know. =D
Let’s see what else, oh yeah I penciled another page for “Kept in the Dark” so that makes 7 pages now. I still haven’t gotten to the punch line which should be on page 8. Well, it’s not really a joke it’s more like the creepy part gets an added twist on page 8. Then I think 2 pages of wrap up and on to another section of the story. I’ll be happy for the scene change. I keep fussing with the story but thankfully it feels good. I don’t have a script for this thing so the story sort of flows as I draw it. Should be interesting when I’m done.

Whee! Pudding.
Saiko is standing on Dance Dance pad, which at the end of 2000 when this was inked I had no idea what that was.
Still coughing so I will go back to sleep now. More tomorrow when hopefully this cough will die! Stabs!

Saiko’s so fast she can argue with herself! The sign in Panel 3 says: Being abducted back in 15 min. -Saiko
Oh the little bunny continents on the planet! So cute. Zaps it’s head.
Bunny appears… yes I know she’s panda. Now that I think back on it I actually don’t know why she’s called that. Mike says the same with more “er…”s.

The alien girl scouts appear! This page marks the change in artists jobs now Mike is penciling and I be inking and toning. Joy!
The side of panel 2 says “Accomplished with 6 40 watt bulbs! WOW!” I want some of these badges at the bottom. They would be cool.
I never was a girl scout but I did go to girl scout camp for two weeks once. Outcasts are devoured!
So I’m still coughing. Thankfully Shawnna, Sterling, and Chad helped me find some medicine so I feel a little better today. Mostly I just really need to get some sleep or something. But it’s hard to sleep while coughing. I may be a bit short with peeps, sorry about that.
I bought some toys that I really wanted but I stupidly bought the American market Chinese repaint versions which, by the way BLOW!! They suck, suck, suck! It was an accident but I can’t send them back because it was my own damn fault. I’ll take some pictures of them because they are really ugly… except for the characters that I don’t want. Mopes. May try painting them myself but still, woe. And the Japanese ones looked so cool. I wanted Raiden and Snake… I can’t tell if the Japanese paint job is just as bad as the ones I got but somehow I think it has to be better then these. ;_;
I finished penciling 3 more comic pages for my horror thing. So that brings this one up to 6 penciled pages. For now I’ll call this one “Kept in the Dark.” That won’t be it’s final name probably but it’s pretty descriptive. Still I need to keep poking it I’m almost to the good parts. Ohhhhh, I love horror. I just need to keep working on it. Comedy is easier on my brain but I just love horror stuff. Pokes own brain with a cattle prod.
I need to keep working on my other webcomic thingy. Right now I’ve 10 pages finished, a colored cover, one extra page penciled and part of a font designed for it. I should start posting it on the beginning of next month. so I need to get moving. I need more of a backlog then what I have.
Ugh, now I die maybe. Sleep would be good. I’m sorry I’m soo behind on emails everyone. =( Hopefully, this week I can catch up. I’m so bad with the email.

Here we get to see Saiko in action… okay so we don’t actually get to see her move. But I’m endlessly amused by her use of safety scissors, sporks, and sound effects.
In with the meaty chucks is a fish fillet, a t-bone steak, and for some weird reason a jumbo shrimp. Man, I know I drew this but that’s random even for me. Also in that panel the squirrel hugging the car goes “Wheee!”
In panel 4 Lavender says “I’m screaming inside.” Also in panel 5 Saiko is trying to lick the rear view mirror plus a really retarded Sailor Moon joke if you watched series S.
Time for aliens and this is the where the page job switch. This page I’m penciling and Mike is inking and toning as we’ve been doing for the last 10 page. But for the next few pages we’ll switch jobs.

Yay! Let’s hear it for animal fatalities! Saiko says “Squirrels are creepy” in panel 3. There is a cat or two in there as well. The animals are bad as they tend to steal whatever they can pull off the car, like the lug nut in panel 5.
Lavender gives them the finger. We actually based Lavender’s car on one of Mike’s friend’s car which was a Gremlin. We couldn’t think of a better car for it. Mike took me some photos of it.

Ah, the car of love shows up. Lavender tried to make her car look cool at when she was a teen but messed it up and so now everyone loves the car. I mean everyone loves it. Most animals also feel it’s magnetic attraction and some inanimate objects as well. Lavender has been trying to fix the car ever since with no luck.
Saiko is the worse of the people but thankfully she’s also jealous and that helps to keep some of the others away.
Lavender just wants a cool car.
And yes, the car does think.
