Author Commentary

Hey, even more setting change! Since the day is meant to be progressing right now like the usual “BEGINNING OF THE NEW SCHOOL” comics, like introducing the teachers. One thing I noticed in my High School was that teachers would repeat.. which is why the three other teachers have returned. It’s not really a concept of being lazy ;.; or maybe it is BUT THOSE ARE MY REASONS

enjoy lucy being a tsundereeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Okay, I totally agree with Skyen about Mike. Hehe~

Anyways, I love how you drew the little stretch of the pathway with everyone running — Daisy and Abbey were especially cute — and expressions from both Lucy and Mike really bring it together. It’s like… I can feel what Lucy feels (I hope that came out coherently). -coddles her- She really is being a tsundere girl, isn’t she~~?

Beside thatttt~ I have to say, Mike, you pwn. I’m serious. You can run BACKWARDS, maintain EPIC stances, and CHAT without having to catch your breath. Athletic little kitten youuu~

Okay, I’m rambling a little. I’ll comment next page. :3

Ana: Not snowing yet! I heard it might snow on Saturday night, which is cool because Saturday is my birthday so it’s like the world is giving me a present!

Lisa: David is actually trying to push Sue forward so that she keeps up with the group (since she’s not as speedy as the others in front), she’s trying to keep herself balanced.. David is just being overexcited and doesn’t mean to hurt her.

you’re all awesome~!!

Ah ha. Mike must be a ninja. Who else can run backwards? If there’s a Halloween comic he better be in a black full body ninja outfit.

Huh. I just noticed: Mike is now the irritable, bitchy one, and Lucy is the quiet one who just wants to be understood. It’s like they swapped personality types since the beginning of the comic!

Or maybe I’m crazy... O~O

No, she only just realized how dumb she was being after she had broken his will to put up with her. It was kinda… too little, too late at that point.

Hehe, I may not be the fastest runner at my school, but I’m agile enough to where I’m the fastest backwards runner.

@ Skykitsune: Backwards running is fun, fast, and easy! No need to worry about falling on your face!

What’s a Tsundere?

I can see Tripturtle making a re-appearance. I can run backwards like that, too. But I have to look where I’m going.

Aha, see, *now* Michael’s being a *********. I knew it couldn’t last forever.

Curious how it’s right AFTER Lucy stops being a wretched harpy that he has to get all that sand up his mangina, though…

Mike is BEAST, running backwards!

Mike is a showoff, running like that backwards. It’s not even like he has to slow down to turn around, or stop completely. He just skips, spins lightly in the air, then…I’m impressed.

Lucy, spill the beans already. Please, do us all a huge favor. Please.

Is it just me, or are Katie and Stacy walking? Then again, Stacy was in that sentence, so does anyone care?
