- Well, I feel downright terrible.
Sorry for the late update, everyone.
I promise the next one will be Tuesday or Wednesday and maybe I can slap this schedule back into shape.
But work is a harsh mistress and that is all I will say for excuses.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Replies and what -

@Skriptkitty: Aww, thanks! I'm glad you're liking it enough to catch up and comment and all. =)

@loserfish: You are too kind. D; Thank you so much. (For understanding and complimenting, oh god, your whole comment.♥) Heh, Dan just seems amused all the time. :D

@@ Tornadotrailer; Hee, yep. English, to be precise. Haha, I'm glad it fits. Thank you so much for your comments and reading it. :)

@ Boxers: Dan is obviously an illusions master who is impressed by Lily's invunerablity to his skills. Soon, he will take her under his wing as his apprentice. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
(Lahv you, thank you, etc.)

@ P!K: So close, too close, perhaps. So while he has the weird hang ups about being dressed by strangers, Chris doesn't have personal space issues with his bros, at least. :D (HMM)
And awww thank you so much for saying I've improved. Heh, this comic is basically the way I am trying to get better with art... and well, comicking in general so I'm very much pleased and greatful that someone with a comic as pretty and well liked as yours would say something like that, thank you. :D!

@ Iron: She would probably call it something like "Checking up" or "visiting" or "helping" or any other word or combination of words that find her innocent. :D Yay for digging Dan! I'm glad as he is kind of not one of the two main characters people still enjoy him. :3 Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

@Mr.Gruntsworthy: They do seem off, yes. D: They were supposed to be hunched but I think something backfired... Maybe after I get the next page up I can go back and try to figure them out... You are entirely too kind, thank you for your words.
(And if you notice anything off like the shoulders in the future, don't hesitate to point them out! Critique and folks pointing out what's off really helps me target weak areas and try to get better)

@pwii: She's like a master of illusion breaking or something, I swear.

@Sven: Hey cool, you got yourself an account! And yes, Lily is very clearly completely and utterly normal, jeez. Chris is such a paranoid nut. Gosh.

@ xero: :D Cool! And aww jeez, you are way too kind to me. I appreciate it a lot, thank you so much.

@ constant_boredom: Awww, thank you! I'm really glad you like them and think they're lovable even if they're all kind of dorky. :D

	I'm glad I caught back up on this- I almost forgot how awesome it was! :D posted by Skriptkitty on 14 Nov 2010 09:52 pm
	UuuuUUuuuuUUuughhhhhh I LOVE THIS COMIC. Poor Lily <xD. Well, I guess she is kinda stalking him, but it's only because she cares <33333. I love how Dan seems to know she would see through his brilliant illusion, he seems amused. And work is a harsh mistress indeed D8>. I don't think anyone could blame you, it's hard to work on a page when you already spent your whole day working. And you make them so beautiful too <3. posted by loserfish on 14 Nov 2010 10:20 pm
	SHE'S BRITISH? That makes her so much better ( I just went and reread the whole thing and imagine her voice in a british accent) and it totally fits too!! I like that you named the chapter titles First Dream and Second dream! I like I like! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KOHIKKI! ;D posted by Tornadotrailer on 14 Nov 2010 11:20 pm
	Dan looks just about proud of Lily for seeing through his amazing invisible stairs. BEST DUO EVAR Poor Chris. No one seems to understand the gravity of that very intimidating little British redhead following him around everywhere! How dare she! Po' Chris. posted by MYVBXRS on 15 Nov 2010 12:20 am
	Don't worry~ Life happens to the best of us~ D: And the worst of us, since it happens to me all the time!! XDD The boys' faces are deliciously close XD I'm satisfied just from that. But yeah, your image comment is right XDD It is pretty stalkerish. Even well intended. I actually reread this entire comic the other day and you've really improved since you first started even though it wasn't even that long ago! ; u ; I'm jealous. posted by P!K on 15 Nov 2010 01:43 am
	I wonder how she would call it then..? Dan's expression and comment is <333 I just love him more and more with each page xD. posted by Iron on 15 Nov 2010 03:47 am
	Is it just me, or does his shoulders in the last panel seem... a little off? like, a little exaggerated. This comic is funny, great artwork too. A real gem here on smackjeeves. posted by Mr. Gruntsworthy on 15 Nov 2010 05:34 am
	Saw through the 'Brilliant Illusion?' Inconceivable! posted by pwii on 15 Nov 2010 03:35 pm
	British stalker? Nifty! Oh no Dan, your illusions are starting to decrease in quality! SHE CAN SEE THROUGH ALL YOUR LIEEEEES. And I love how freaked out Chris is! I mean suuuuure she saw him naked and kept asking about his dreams, but Lily is TOTALLY NORMAL! Why can't he see that it's perfectly normal for people to do those things and then follow him to his job? Nothing weird about that, right? </sarcasm> posted by Sventastic on 16 Nov 2010 12:27 am
	Now I am going to picture her with a British accent, nice. Her calm and levelheaded demeanor about stalking him is something I get a laugh out of, cause he just wants to be left alone, and she's flat out, "No." I must know more about what is going on, and what's going to happen!! Your comic is one I get enjoyment out of because your art is uniquely fresh and the story is just... I'll find / make up a word that describes it later. x] posted by xero.zero on 16 Nov 2010 01:21 pm
	You're characters are abnormally lovable. Seriously. It's TOO damn hard to not like any of them :C posted by constant_boredom on 16 Nov 2010 03:59 pm
