I gotta admit, I expected her to be his next victim.

I know. *grins*

Aww. I'm so glad. I didn't want him to kill her. <3 This is sweet.

This is probably the sweetest, happiest moment to ever appear in the comic.
I hope nothing spoils it.

...oh, great.
T_T

I was wondering...

What were you wondering?

When we were going to get back to this. Its a very intresting yet confusing storyline.

Now you have a reason for why I've been having him do the flashback thing. Today is the day his helicopter crashed and they were ambushed by the enemy. That was 35 years ago for the pig. On that same date 10 years ago (on the 25th anniversary of Muley's thing) Rita's sister was raped and murdered. There's a connection...And Muley has been thinking of his buddies the entire day, hence the flashbacks.

Most excellent inking work and of course theme. My hat is off to you!

Thanks you! Thank you muchly.

I just knew he wouldn't do it :)

But you were afraid he would, wouldn't you?

You never know with this bastard...

oh WOW great tie in and i love how only the reader and mule foot understand what is truly said
>HUGS<

*Grins* Thank you.

man...I though she was a gonner.
im all tingly

So excited to see how this plays out.

*big tusked grin*
Well...the night is young and there's at least 7 pages left of the story.

Awesome. What a neat development.

Thank you!

I knew he wouldn't do it! I knew it all along. ;D

But deep down, you were afraid he would...weren't you? *grin*

Naw, naw, naw. ;>

Awww. ... no not "Awww he didn't off her" (I wasn't really expecting that) but awww what muley says about her. True though :/ wonder what happened to muley?
Hrum, Rita's sister died on the 25th anniversary of something happening to muley? More and more hints that maybe he did do her...

Surely the flashbacks happening all through out the story leading up to being shot down and captured by the enemy are hint as to the terrible thing that happened to the boar. *grins*

Heh, true, but even in a "POW" context there's still different things that might happen...

at least, not at this juncture. I don't know if Mulefoot killed Rita's sister or not - although the comment about dates makes me wonder just where Mulefoot was on the 25th anniversary of his own private disaster - but unless Rita gets the idea that Mulefoot was the murderer, I think she's safe.

I admit I'm looking forward to knowing a little more about Tony's motivations.

And now you know why there's been these flashbacks to the Thaikong War...one can assume the big personal disaster was what we saw on the last few pages...the crash...the capture...

I was rather thinking it was part of the lead-up to the personal disaster, although certainly, closely connected. Why do I think we'll see JJ again? I don't know ... I just do. And I think that might be part of ...

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but it's certainly fun to wonder. And trust that all will be revealed in due time.

Cheers,
OT

awww, i knew he wouldn't do anything to her.

But will she do anything to HIM? *grins*

... point!
HMMMMMMMMMM

Seguin is the name of the city where Rita lives. Its a real place in Texas. :) It even has a river through it.
Pronounced: Seh-GEEN. I name her town first page of the story.

That however, was months ago.

Thirty five years ago? I thought the boar was in his fourties, but it seems he's a ten years older, at least...

AAAAHHH NOOOO!
Did not see that coming. GOD this is why your story is so awesome.
Mulefoot, keep on doing that thing you do, cause it's working!

Thank you. You are the highlight of my day.

Fantabulous! :)

Thanks hon.

This is such an unexpectedly sweet moment. :) I really love following this comic, you tell a good story.

Knew it was a necklace, just had the wrong one. Even when we get a piece of the puzzle, you still leave us guessing!

That's my job.
