...This page signifies that even when serious, Jirkle never appears serious. At least, while facing you, he won't be.

And I hope it's pretty clear that Jirkle was once allied with Dirken. This plays a larger role in the story, but Jirkle dances around the topic so much...the next page clarifies the fact anyway.

And there's that orca whale again! Just to bore you (or maybe fascinate you), here's the reason for the whale plate.

The Spanish language plays a large role in this story, as Blank pirates aboard a Spanish ship (called, ironically, an English name: Jonah) and her ship pulls port on an island known as Isla Ballena--Whale Island.

The orca's varient name, killer whale, comes from the name that Spanish sailors gave the dolphin-species--asesina ballena, which is incidentally a mistranslation. The Spanish now use the REtranslation of ballena asesina.

At the same time, another name for the orca whale (its genus) is "Orcinus", meaning "from Hell". Demons tend to be associated with hell, so I simply wanted to remind people through this extremely obscure pointed thing that Jirkle IS STILL a demon, no matter how cute he is.

Although, he never does become a bad guy again, he once was.

^^; Thank you for listening to my obscure ramble on the orca whale. I love them so. Here is the link where I obtained this information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_Whales

I've actually had trouble gettin' it, too. XD And I'm the creator. D'oh! IF you separate the itty bitty kitties from the rest of the page, it makes perfect sense. Just kinda try and...block the kitties. XD I should just erase them, but they're way too adorable!

Uhm... I get a little bit cunfused about the story... Maybe I'm just tired...
I can see you're improving quite well ^^
I must say that you panelling seems still a bit too messy... Maybe you should try a bit of more traditional one?

Whale Killer's that is what Orca's are as they kill the young of other whale's.. Your picture of them is getting better!

What's really to bad is the people with money are set in their ways, me, like your paneling

Your sigh panel back a couple of pages was the absolute best, I really connected to the emotion ..

While the hands were really good they did seem a little strong..

The only thing I didn't like on this current page is chibi Jirkle, I love the rest..
