People say comics are hard to get into, often because of how much continuity there is, but a good writer can easily do a page like this and you know everything you need to about everyone (except maybe gen)

Heh.

While I understand why Stan chose to limit the use of gunpowder and guns in his stories, scenes like these make me wonder how much different the narrative would be if they were common.

I know DHC stands for Dead Horse Count, but I can't stop mentally pressing F for Dark Horse Comics whenever it pops up.

Thank you for the storytime.

Bless you, user. Hoping to do this one a little faster this time.

Why are the gamblers for these things always right down to their underwear? Is it to show they aren't cheating or something?

I'm saving that, Satan.

I think it has more to do with a well told story by a main creator vs constant reboots by different creators.

Noriyuki is a little badass, holy shit

Yes

But Tomoe isn't on that page.

Cool guys don't look at explosions.

I really like Lord Hebi. Especially later when they keep making him bigger in the story.

Aww yeah.

Doesn't her other brother turn out to be less likeable?

How is the pass working out for you, Dharma?

He is supposed to be a threat but I just find him cute.

I love Yagi. I don't think he has blood running through his veins, just pure distilled honor and vengeance. I love that he and Usagi eventually bond over something I will not spoil.

Chizu has a kissing count. Does Tomoe have a kissing count? No? Inferior.

Any news about that Netflix Usagi cartoon?

Yey

'In the works', so it's still a thing.

It's pretty wonderful for story timing. Maybe it's because I've read them before, but the fact that I can easily read a page of usagi in the 30 cooldown, which is difficult with the more serious comics I've done, but still take in all the emotion and details raises my opinion of Stan even higher

AROO SUNACKUBARU!

You’re wrong, even+odd is twice as common as either of the others. Or you might look at it as having both odd+even and even+odd in your list.

Ah. Thanks for clarifying that

Few things ruin a comic as much as retcons made by new writers because they didn't like something their predecessors did. What's worse, they usually make a big deal out of those changes and rub your face in them to show how much more interesting they made things.

In contrast, Stan silently and carefully changes a few things (humans, pets) so the comic is more coherent. There is no need to one up the guys before him, because he is the only writer.

It' not rocket science. It's also one of the reason why manga is more popular than capes.

He's doesn't seem to like directly showing explicit stabbings or slashes in general, which can lead to situations like this.

Upsy.

Dying now would be....evil, thread.

Tea ceremonies >>>>>>> kisses

I think she does kiss him once after seeing Chizu do it

That may have been Kitsune, but then Usagi does get kissed a lot.

Tea ceremony>Kissing

When it comes to Tomoe, it's
>marrying another guy >>>>>>> tea ceremonies

Ouch, but true.

Motherfucker, those guys are assholes.

Best girls don't get forcefully married away

The cart was Xzibit-sensei’s masterpiece.

And this time it wasn't even me who fired the first shot!

I know Sakai put him in the story before he had anything really concrete but I still like to think Heibe is a suoernatural monster that was made into a Lord and no one has been brave enough to address it.

Its like that Senator Armstrong guy.

I always figured Hikiji was the supernatural one.

One of the best scenes in Zato-Ichi (the inspiration of Zato-Ino) came from the first 15 minutes of the first movie. He asks to be the dice handler. He doesn't disrobe, and on the first toss the dice fell out of the cup, letting everyone see the result and win.
Then came the second toss. He sets the cup, and dice come flying out again. Everyone bets on the dice again. Zato-Ichi then pulls up the cup and the dice are still in there. He then tells everyone they should have bet on what's inside the cup. His personal dice don't count.

Based.

Up you go.

RCO is acting up and I have another engagement anyways. See you tomorrow, sorry guys
