Ohh... looks like there might be a showdown between the girls.

Hee hee... I love catfights.... girls are so funny when they're at each others throats.

Is that supposed to be a reference to Photon where he writes "Idiot" on that girls forehead.

So which week won't it appear? The 4th? The first? Or will it be the 10th, 20th, and 30th of every month? In which case, what about February?

Also, is it not possible that Megan is Miaka reincarnated, and therefore not crazy?

Someone should [b]Pani Poni Dash[/i] the comic and place reference text (in chalkboard fashion) to explain the mark on the forehead and its purpose.

Having read the replies, I'm glad to see this "punch line" didn't just go over my head alone.

If anyone's seen/read the series, please enlighten us.

I don't want to be in the position years from now, watching the series, and scream "Oh! Now I get that Nina strip! AHAHAHAHAHA".

EDIT: Nevermind. Saw the "power up" reply. Must have skipped it on the first read-through.

See earlier pages. It's been explained twice already. Once graphically, at that.

Oh, and I love the comic, even if I didn't catch the reference myself.

Paola and Nina have seen the enemy, and in the eternal words of a Mr. Bugs Bunny, "Of course you realize this means WAR!!!!"

Honestly, I didn't like this comic, but I do admit it is avery interesting way to introduce Nina and (I'm sorry, I forgot her name) back into the story.

I love this comic (even if I don't always get the reference/punchline Very Happy )

and I believe the way to say we'll be getting Nina now is (though I enjoy it so much, I wish Robin were up to doing a daily):

Thrice monthly

I can only see this power up ending in bad favor for Kevin. I'm also calling Nina being Yui.

I don't mean to be mean but if some people see it that way I do think that they are kind of missing the point of the comic.

I'm seein' Paolla open a whole can of whup-a$$ on everyone involved, especially Megan, after Kev tries and fails to even get the attention of the guy who bumped into Megan...

heh great looks on their faces too, Robin...

*Will Kevin wake up and smell the toast burning?
*Will Megan realize she is a keeper if she will only stop with the crazy?
*Will Paolla defend Kevin's Honor?
*What has Myoopi been doing in the meanwhile?

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Kevin's strange yet wonderful nightmare"

Kev wakes in a cold sweat, looks in the mirror and wonders where he got this marker on his forehead from...

I didn't get the kevinhome reference at first, i thought it was a typo but after seeing tama-chan... Very Happy

and when i said last week that kevin should show her his tattoo, i didn't mean for her to write it on his forehead Very HappyVery Happy

yeah, i'll take that bet, i'm sure megan will call nina yui, and maybe paola can be one of the other star warriors Very Happy

^ Nina might seem like Yui, but then again she could also be Nakago and Paola could be Sui. lol You just never know~

Ahhh~ So, when is Kevin going to look at Megan naked and then self-combust? I mean almost everyone in FY has seen Miaka naked. Y/N?
