Neat!

I had a really crappy Spanish teacher named Avila, so I'm not a fan of the name choice.

I like the characters though!

I'm not sure how I decided on the name originally, probably because there's an Avila St. here in town somewhere. If it makes you feel any better, he's actually Filipino-American so he probably speaks Spanish about as well as I do...

I'm thinking I may do another one of these things for the other characters at some point, more for fun than any practical reason.

Awesome work, I love the 'Ninja Shadow'.

Closing my mind to the close-minded.

Avila's origin does make me feel better. My teacher was high-and-mighty because he was from Spain. Big deal.

Actually, I drew him here: [link] .

I think another bio shot would be cool. I'm working on some OCs, and that helped me figure out how to introduce them. Thanks!

Ha, he talks just like every teacher I had until college. It's funny too, since Officer Avila is the laid back one, who can't believe they pay him to drive around all day and park in bus stops, while Officer Wu is the stickler who wants to catch that damn ninja grrrr. Or at least that's how I envisioned them.

I'd think that speaking Castilian Spanish wouldn't be all too useful in the US, since Mexicans and other Latin Americans (who are the people you'd be talking to) sound completely different.

Having the character sheet is a great way to keep things consistent; I like to introduce the characters organically within a comic first, just because it seems more natural, also there aren't any spoilers that way (although there hasn't been much continuity so far either...)

That comic was intended to be my supposed Spanish class last semester, but I transferred to another college. Officer Avila's physique suggests that he's laid-back. It's a nice visual contrast to his and Officer Wu's personalities.

I had 4 years of Spanish in high school. Year 1 was taught by a woman born in New York City to Peruvian parents whom insisted that she was also 100% Peruvian in all respects even though she only lived there from ages 6-18. She also served in our Navy. (??) Year 2 was taught by a much less crazy lady from Puerto Rico. When her husband got a job in Singapore, we were handed over to Avila's special brand of insanity for years 3 and 4. The point: because we were not forced to use the formal, plural "you", (which is only used in Spain), we dodged the bullet and were allowed to NOT use it.

I think I'll make private character sheets until my OCs can get integrated. Then I can throw in public versions when I need a distraction.

Thanks for the tips!

Hey P.C. Sorry it's been so long since I commented. Recently moved, but where I am now doesn't have internet. Which means if you reply to this, it may take me a while to get it.

On the picture. I love the ninja shadow, which was said before, and I may even incorporate one or both of these officers into the story I'm writing. Which is at page 19 or maybe it's 22. Somewhere in there. Just an update, I am still working on it. Recently added a page an a half, which is why I'm a little unsure.

Keep up the incredible work.

Do what you do, my friends, 'cause no one else can

Hey, welcome back! Yeah, reestablishing services and utilities is the about biggest inconvenience involved in moving, and internet (especially broadband) always seems to take the longest to hook up.

While we haven't seen these two in action yet, you can kind of get an idea from the description and the discussion above (or below, depending on how you're set up) of their personalities and how they'd work together. When Miyuki has anything to do with the police she'll always try to evade, rather than confront them, as confrontation would mean an escalation of force and increased persistence.

Wow, 22 pages is much longer than I originally had expected, I look forward to reading it when it's ready.

Well, now that I found an internet cafe relatively near by, I may be able to respond a little quicker. Still probably going to be a couple days between, but hey, it's something.

Yeah, 22 pages is a little unexpected for me too. I knew it was going to be longer than the story I wrote for OddPixels, but even I wasn't expecting this. Near as I can figure, there are a couple more plot points to hit, and then I'll be at the closing moment of the story.

As it stands in my mind at least, this may add another 10 pages, but hopefully not more than that. With this in mind, I will probably have to submit it piece by piece, or at least by chapter.

Thanks again for giving me this wonderful opportunity, I am loving the story more and more as I write on it.
