Talking Mice Aren't Reliable, Are They?

Doing these pages was a miserable experience. I've been sick with a mystery virus, with no medication, a broken thermometer, and a husband who thinks air conditioning is a waste of money even in one of the hottest and most humid summers Tokyo has seen in years. My hand was shaking the whole time I inked this, I kept having to take breaks due to migraines and hot flashes, and I messed up so many times I really considered trashing it. But I finished it, even though some panels really really suck. This is, of course, the downside to working traditionally. When you mess up, sometimes all you can do is say "Whatever, better luck next time."
