Looks like I'm about a day late on this. Sorry, there's reasons that I could get into but I'm sure they'd bore ya to tears.
It seems like "Erk!" is now Cricket's catch phrase.
Something that I find kind of strange is that people that I know in real life bring up the idea of me doing a graphic novel. Honestly, I'm not sure that's such a great idea. Of course I think I'm more neurotic than most. So, have you guys out there have you ever been presented with the idea of doing a graphic novel? Have you guys ever thought of doing it?

replies:
@usedbooks: I have a lot of mixed feelings on marriage. All those aside, Ollie's seventeen! I don't think anyone has the emotional maturity required at that age.
@ulthor: Not good at all. As far as Creature's real name, there's probably at least one "X" and one apostrophy.
@Peipei: This is true. As I imagine it in this culture it's probably not unheard of for people to get married that young but it's probably much more common for people to get married in their late teens and early twenties. By the way, congradulations on the feature!
@amanda: Thankfully my parents aren't in any hurry to be grandparents either. This is fortunate seeing as how my sister is preoccupied with her career and I'm… well… myself.
I actually haven't thought too much on what Creature's name should be. I'll keep your suggestions in mind though.
@Warped and Zephyrion: Thanks!
@Steely Gaze: I felt like that was something that should be brought up after it was established that Creature can understand Cricket's language and can write notes to her. Up until then it hadn't really occured to me either.
@Trevor: That's a good tip. If I hadn't thrown that character design together willy-nilly, (poor aesthetic choice on my part,) I might have thought of that. Oh, well. I have that advice for next time. Thanks!
@D0m: That's an interesting thought. I hope you're enjoying where this is going so far.
