Like, I said, let me know if I missed you. I'm bad at screen names.

THE SHOYRU FROM OUTER SPACE IS OUT AT LAST!!! It's not like the story's genius or anything, I'm just jazzed to get some non-virtupets sci fi into the NT mix.

New Life by ssjelitegirl - Oh, this was GOOD! I've never seen a comic like it before, and a punk Grey Faerie is just FUNNY.

Spooky by Komori - Aw, Komo is CUUUUUTE! He's my favorite, I think. Although they're all funny. Your pets are just a great comic team all around.

Missed Short Story:
The Adventures of Agent W007 - Episode I - by, well, me >_> (renrenthehamster)

Yay, thanks for the mention up there :] Any reviews for my articel Life as a Grand Bogen are really appreciated! I'll review later!

[Ice]

*snerk*

Anyone look at the Helpful Tip of the Week in the Editorial? I was wondering about that, too.. XD

[Deleted]

Yeah, Ice, I was wondering when they were going to mention that.

Spooky by Komori
Love the art, the cuteness, and the punchline. Expressions = win. Can't wait for #3.

[Sock]

You forgot my comic, Mutant Doughnut. x3

Whoops, that was the one I was reading at the time. >.<

The one I meant to put, and had in another tab was Patjade's comic:

QT's Queasies by mindsend and patjade
www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=313088&issue=281

I'll go hide in the showers now...

*Sniff* Such is being a has-been.

[sarahleeadvent]

*Sniff* Such is being a has-been.

Well, Patjade, for a has-been you make a pretty good comic.

White Sand and Shattered Glass by Lau
Good story, well written. My only question is did the Aisha steal the plates from his shop, or did the whole time warp thing make them appear in the palace because they've been there for decades?

One Crazy Day by Birdy
I liked this one. At the beginning I was really worried about the "Is not" "Is too" thing. It really seemed like a word count thing. But then when the author butted in I realized what you were going for. I thought this idea was really creative and it was fun to read too.

The Shoyru from Outer Space by Tashni

“Well as Nokura said,” began Aein, “I took her to a space station,

I think you missed some letters in there.
Good story I liked it a lot. But what about the other neopians that saw the space ship at the end. Didn't they go inside too and won't they tell their friends?

New Life by Ssjelitegirl
I like it. XD And are you stealing some ideas from the happiness faerie there?

[Deleted]

New Life by Ssjelitegirl
That Grey Faerie is cool now! lol. That was a very good comic. I wasn't sure about the joke at first, but then it all made sense in the end. My only objection is that the two raised fingers look awkward to me.

Spooky by Komori
I love Komo. ^_^ That comic was so cute and the art was flawless, as always. Also, komo's lack-of-petpet doesn't come off as inconsistent to me. Maybe he/she is just bouncing around offscreen.

Mutant Doughnut by sockmonk
How devious. *grins* The writing seemed a bit small, yet the joke and the comic overall were awesome just the same.

QT's Queasies by mindsend and patjade
Oh, rofl! That comic was great, and the joke was just...a perfect pun. ^_^
