Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

Whoaaaaaa, hello again. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, you’re in for a treat, as you have thirty miserable proper-panel pages to go through! I hope you’re ready for this!

Isn’t it funny how the first page of a huge comic always looks the best and then it just.. depletes in quality because the person just isn’t arsed to be that good? Or maybe it’s just me. In other news I want to ride my bicycle.

Are they bad singers, or have they been singing only that song the entire way, cause if its the former, then its understandable everyone’s miserable, but the latter….ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO HATE QUEEN DAMMIT

Ah… That’s who it was… it was Lily sitting next to Tess… The pets have come along as well… to act as Lucy’s foils and plot devices, no doubt…

Also… Seems like they’ve had a bit to drink as well?
Or is it just temporary boredom-induced insanity?
Lucy can’t really hear them all too well, but Mike can clearly hear them more than too well… More of the inconvenient (for Mike) character trait balancing!

THIS is what they shoulda sung:

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright’ning me
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

One of the BEST songs to begin singing on a trip:

This is the song that never ends!
Yes it goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started singing it,
Not knowing what it was.
And they’ll continue singing it forever,
Just because-!

This is the song that never ends!
Yes it goes on and on my friends…

OMG its not a song! I think it’s a reference to a movie I saw a long time ago where plants release a gas that makes people commit suicide…in the end there’s a guy who repeatedly says “bicycle”…but then again with the notes and such maybe it is a song I’ve never heard of….hmmm….

I swear to god, looking at when these chapters were posted, you have the most spastic schedule I have ever seen in a webcomic.

BWAHAHA! Odd song, though I do like it, anyway, I love how Yashy uses Lucy’s tail to make a wig for herself second to last panel.
Gotta love those two, my opinion of Paulo has changed dramatically through the story, opinion of David on the other hand… hasn’t changed at all, it doesn’t need to! He’s freaking awesome!
