Dave has a sitcom-ish plan. ;-) I love the first panel, but Kaida's scar is too bold and noticeable. It should be a little more subtle. Eh. I kick myself for giving characters lasting scars and things, because then I have to remember to draw them.

I had to change my avatar from “cynical Seiko” to something more playful. Just two days with the other one, and everyone kept misinterpreting my tone. o.O The power of the avatar is strange indeed.

I thought I'd also let you know my rat pups are ten days old now. :-D I picked out three to keep. I named my girls Washu and Misaki after Tenchi Muyo characters. My boy is Watson. (Click on the links in this paragraph for pictures!)

n_y_japlander: It's not her friends that bother her. It's her ex-husband Fudo. ;-) He's a homicidal maniac, so gifts from him are not high on Kaida's wish list. (He also gave her that lovely wrist scar in Chapter 9.)

Peipei: Kaida is just guarded because of her usual Valentine's Day admirer. I'm sure she's very happy to get gifts from Alex and Toyo. :-)

EmilyTheStrange: A chocolate card is a great idea! I never know what to do with a card after I read it. That would solve that problem. lol

Locoma: Thanks. I had to go through all my pages to find a replacement I liked. It's actually from page 520. My new comic thumbnail is from the upcoming page, though:
