Sorry for no update last thursday. The page I was working on was ruined after I spilled Sunny D on it. The redone page will be up later tonight. Sorry again.

I didn't even know Sunny D was still around...kinda like Fruitopia.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

Frankenberry and Fruity Yummy Mummy got brought back for Halloween. If that can make a comeback, anything can.
*Ashamed I literally bought 15 boxes of Frankenberry.*

Due to my job's overtime schedule, page 9 will be updated Saturday. I got a really late start today, and didn't even get one panel done. Saturday I'm totally free so I can work on the page and continue work on Minisode 2.

There was some in my Fridge in the basement...how in the hell is that possible?
