What's this? A book store customer talking about books and buying a book? Yes. Yes it is. (It happens sometimes. Lol.) And a little mini-micro flashback to the Verona children. As you might recall, their dad was a field anthropologist, so they didn't see him much. Sharing a book by the fire was a nice way to spend their limited time together.
We have two book titles on this page. If you haven't read it, I recommend The Hobbit for all ages. It is a fun fantasy story. I also enjoyed The Source, but it isn't for everyone. It centers around an archaeological dig and follows the history of the site by telling a story behind each artifact found (starting in the Stone Age).
LanceDanger: It is kinda fun. ^_^
ghostrunner: Needs some verbal laxative.
Tantz: We'll see. Kaida fully *intends* to take responsibility for her actions… eventually.
Peipei: It is tough for Kaida. She has worked hard to create a nice crime-free life, but what's done is done.
JustNoPoint: I made the mistake of half-assing an “extra” once – but then he sorta turned into a main character (Mike) and now I'm stuck with a weird character design. :-/ So… I'm careful about all the designs now. (This one has provided Kaida a temporary distraction, at least.)
amanda: Kaida tends to look rather lady-like when the shades come off (or the hair comes down). She doesn't like to be “pretty” most of the time – if she can avoid it.
trevor: Lol. Kaida finds him rather intriguing. She doesn't meet a lot of visitors without her shades.
n_y_japlander: ^_^ I didn't actually have any resemblance in mind when I created him. I just had an idea about crows feet, the pony tail, and the scar. (I think the chest hair is his biggest link to Connery. Lol.)
Locoma: Yeah. Kaida is really tense/depressed because one of her crimes could be uncovered considering how determined Tucker is.

Of course he knows adventure. He trained Connor Mccloud in the art of sword fighting, was a secret agent for a while, aided a whip lashing treasure hunter, etc... etc... Aside from distracting her I wonder if this scene will be a tad more pivotal later (ie if he does return this would mark his debut)

Yeah, I guess she must find him intriguing, since this is one of the first times I've seen her without those sunglasses on. I bet he has an accent.

(-_-) I regret that I don't read... I know that books go into far more detail... but Im a visual guy. (OO) I thought his reply in the first panel was not very nice... I would have gottin' smacked for such a line...

The Source sounds AWESOME! And while I like the story of the Hobbit, I don't like Tolkien's writing style - he seems very condescending. I dunno. It's a toss up. I like that this guy is very prim and proper with his completely buttoned vest, but his shirt is unbuttoned ^.^

I read The Hobbit back in high school :3...You know, that customer remarkably resembles Fudo in his younger days... :o

I've never read The Hobbit. As a matter of fact, I haven't read any of the Lord of the Rings books 0_o I loved the movies, and I'm always saying to myself "I'll get to reading it sometime" (like with Harry Potter), but never really get around o it XD ANywho, cool page =3
