LOL! And yes, that talking bug...? Tantz- LOL! Thank you very much- I love drawing horrified expressions more than any. April is a great character to draw, because she is very over the top expressive. Lana, it was nice to get some red in a page as an accent, rather than a symbol of violence. All the other uses of red have been so negative- these poppies are more to convey excitement... And yes, Janey Mac is an exclaimation that at least one Irish person has confirmed that is actualy said! ^_^ Christine- THat is actually a white moth. And no, April really wasn't expecting it to talk. Don't think I would either. ^_^ LOL! Tinkerwrks- Thank you- she is really fun to draw! Iwfish- YAY! I was hoping for that - that the teaser would trick readers- I always like to offer a surprise... more of those coming...hee hee hee. Aquila- YAY! I'm always happy to hear that you are surprised! We also use the poppy as a symbol for Veterans in the US on Veterans Day... Thank you for the nice comments! Brent- Happy late birthday BTW- I'm so sorry I missed it. I hope you had a great one! Janey Mac is a exclamation. I'm not sure of it's origin, but it's Irish. Tiger- Kinda fun to get to see two pgaes in a row though, sn't it! Sorry about the previous page- but you need to see what these two have been through. Thank you very much for the nice comments! Karstel- In case you missed it above- Janey Mac is an Irish expression - an exclamation. Talking bugs are teh bomb! ^_^ Nainami- thank you for the song- I listened to it while working on the next page! Thank you very much for the kind words! Lana- I'm not sure what the origin of the expression is- it was just listed as a general exclamation. Octodude- Thank you! I really enjoy having this character with two colored eyes! So you do see something familiar there... Oh- an you seem to have found some etymology on Janey Mac! Very cool! Thank you eveyrone for your comments! Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply! Much better next time! Hugs, B Okay- finally getting my butt in gear and responding to all the great comments I’ve received…*rolls up sleeves(

That does seem familiar. :-] I like the "Janey Mac!" ^_^ @Brent & @Karstrel - I believe "Janey Mac" is a locally Irish exclamation of startlement or surprise, and I think it came from a common children's rhyme. Any Irish folk out there who can corroborate? I love April’s eyes; they are just outstanding. ^_^

Janey Mac is apparantly an Irish way of saying Jesus Christ when you're exclaiming surprise or something, it's to avoid saying the name itself. Hi all!

But I love it! And I will agree with ChristineA about the poppies. They tend to hold a greater significance for me, an Australian, than most. We wear a poppy to remember the fallen on Rememberance Day in November. Can't wait to see where this story is headed. Lovely art as usual, well done! Well I didn’t see that coming! But I love it!

Then it's a talking bug. That is the best. The best part is looking at the teaser, you think something bad is going to happen. Then it’s a talking bug. That is the best.
