Hey guys, happy Friday! Sorry for a slightly late update, I lost a lot of time today due to air conditioning being reinstalled. I'm very happy to have AC again though XD
Anyway, this update today is very special because! Have you noticed anything different? XD
I spent too much time yesterday sorting out The Lethian perks and whatnot and was stressing out over some dialogue issues for this current batch of strips, and like any mature and seasoned artist would do, I whined to CiciEnixa about it. Cici then suggested she'd write my strip for me, so I handed her the rough sketch of today's strip's layout and then headed out for a dinner thing, thinking Cici would derpify something for me in true Cici-doodle fashion.
What I got when I returned home instead was a LEGIT SCRIPT and HALF THE STRIP INKED. No joke. I was so blown away by 1) Cici's accuracy in imitating my less-than-awesome no-line-variation inking style and 2) the hilarity of the in-character dialogue. She knew I was stressing and did some of my work to save me time ;______; IS SHE AN ANGEL OR IS SHE AN ANGEL-MUFFIN.
So aside from minor tweaks, what you see here is collaborative work. I kept Cici's dialogue because it was better than what I had originally (seriously) and this bought me ample time today to arrange the rest of the dialogue and strips to come, so she basically saved me. :'D
She is a beautiful muffin and deserves all the glory for this page :'D <333 I am super blessed by her! (I love you muffin, thank you so much T__T *hugs super tight*)
Have fun guessing which panels Cici-muffin inked and which panels I inked, by the way! XD
One final note: I added the new forums up onto the navigation bar for easy clickage :D I hope you guys enjoy spending time there, too!
Alright, have a great weekend everybody <3 see you next Monday!
Madou's lucky Kylie is still re-orientating herself here. Otherwise...I think she'd do to him what I had her do in my comic crossover bit a while back. XD
\
I did notice a difference, in panel 2, but it was not enough for me to suspect that someone else had taken over the art. Good work maintaining continuity, CiCi!

Heyy, I thought it looked a bit different!;)
Cici, you are a miracle of the universe! Great job!
The dialogue here. Heee! Kylie cakes!!
I see Madou is back to hiding his handsome mug! Ohh, I so missed that cloak though! Hoooodiiieeeessssss *-*
She sure took Madou being around surprisingly well!
Way to go, Cici-muffin! :3 I dub thee an honorary muffin superhero! :D
That alt text, tho! XD Madou's one sharp cookie. ;P
It's not the best drawing ever, but it's hard to find muffin superhero photos, so here goes:

rufi, shoosh, you pull off no line variation beautifully, it's an art <3 (also I *was* considering derpifying everything, but then "no... this will be even more surprising for her XD") *lots o huggles*
Aaaand now I am forever associated with muffins XD Thank you lol, and I find it so funny that everyone's like "something feels... off, but I dunno what" XDDD
Oh my goshhhh thank you Cici! That's awesome! :D The dialogue on this page is beautifully clever and you two did a great job! It's good to see Kylie actually moving about too.(And well Madou is probably immune to death >>)
Oh...Madou....I think your eyes are...missing...you might wanna...do something about that.
Just kidding. It means Madou is still his usual shady, sneaky, secretive self.
It gives him a sinister appearance. It's kind of cool actually. I've seen the shaded face thing before in some comics, but it always just looked weird to me, not genuinely intimidating like for Madou here.
Great dialog, Cici - it seems Madou is quite taken by her...
I fear for the KylieCainShip to become a KylieMadouShip...
@alt text: what a pity =P
PS: Thank you Cici for your help and support =D
(Madou is so popular lolol)
Isn't she just fabulous <333
She definitely is - maybe we should erect a shrine for her? =P
I'm sure people who wanted to see that can just check out the crossover for that satisfying crack ;D
But yes, puppets would've been da best, dangit Saari-nii XD <3

"Kylie-cakes" is a Cici-muffin original, you can thank her for that one XD
And I'm happy you like his hoodie thingy XD that's really his signature outfit!
Way to go, Cici-muffin! :3 I dub thee an honorary muffin superhero! :D

Madou is a mixed bag of smarts and daftness XD
And ahahahahaha XD good job finding something for Cici-muffin! <333
And yeah, it will definitely take some time for our dear ice lethian to warm up to Madou.
And yes, probably. Or maybe... Hmm. We'll seeeee ;)
(Someone on DA also expected a touching talk, mwahahaha)
I really like Kylie's comeback in the last panel ^_^
And I like the comeback too, Cici is hilarious XDDD
'But I can already do That.'
Aaaand now I am forever associated with muffins XD Thank you lol, and I find it so funny that everyone's like "something feels... off, but I dunno what" XDDD
(Oh, and if you guys tried to guess which ones I did and which ones rufi did, this is what rufi came home to the night before XD)
I find it super amusing how no one could quite put their finger on what felt different this page XD that's how convincing you are Cici! *high fives*
He needs another good smack!
(you can still feel free to smack him though of course XDDD)
Looks really good Cici! Good job!
Madou... immune to death huh? XD That would infuriate quite a few readers I'm sure XDDD

Thank you Sarah! <3 I'm happy you find it cool and intimidating. Madou is a crafty one~ XD <3
(But yay, thankyew! <3 I'm very happy to hear that! :D <3)
