No, unfortunately, once I've missed it, I've missed it. There is a class on friday that I might be able to join if I feel better by then though.

That sucks :( Maybe the sickness and stuff will calm the flip down and behave themselves like normal citizens by Friday? ;3
Rest-up ThisCat! Hope you feel better!

(I know they're not really bugs...but....have some cute spiders :3)

Hi
first I feel the need to state that I won't earn anything from that post, so I don't consider it commercial but rather informative.

while checking Minna pages, I took time to read other projects pages and a few managed to attract me, so I tought to share them with you, and create a place where we could discuss them or others.

For all the cat lovers: Axent Wear Cat Ear Headphones  :)



A canadian comic: The Chronicles of Era



And a watch, to not forget the next SSSS page  ;)

This is a treehopper (membracidae family). The weird "helmet" (pronotum) of that bug is made with the recycled genetic material of what was once a third pair of wings. That is, the insect didn't have 6 wings, two of which became this. The insect had 6 wings, then lost 2, then, much latter, the extra wing genes were reactivated to makeā€¦ this.

I pondered the Cat Ear Headphones for a while but decided against them... None of the colors interest me that much, I would've liked to have the option to change them myself. Oh well.

As long as we're promoting, some other webcomic Kickstarters are going on - Thistil Mistil Kistil's first volume and Cucumber Quest's 3rd book. Both are very good, and especially with TMK the shipping cost is really low (10 dollars, normally it's something around 20). It would really warm my heart to see TMK completed, the author tried and failed once before.

... Thanks for introducing me to TMK, and thus giving me another webcomic to read and many, many hours of procrastination.

Did I just get a bunch of bug-photos as a get well gift? That's awesome! Thanks guys!

Edit: I did not know about treehoppers before this. They are truly great.

Let me have a guess at the lyrics: Boy with fruit allergy meets girl prone to seasickness, and as they discuss what they have in common, they discover that they both can't stand music, at all? 8)
