waff: Most of them are based on Egyptian mythology - Bast and Anubis being the obvious ones, and Seshat and Shu also having been lifted straight out of the pavilion of the gods. (As for Mrs. Snozzley, well, let's just say she's based on a character from a popular '80s cartoon.)

theBSDude: Hopefully the next page will clear things up a little bit, but if not, I'll explain it a bit… I just hate to have to use the comments section to explain it a bit further. Reason being, it means I've underperformed as a writer.

DJLink: Well, I appreciate your taking the time.

JustNoPoint: This particular point of the story doesn't tie in too strongly with the current chapter, save to set the mood; but it's pretty important to the macro of Punk-Pink's storyline. In terms of getting fired, I can neither confirm nor deny that the company in question is Wal-Mart. What I CAN confirm is that it's a retail chain that has a bad habit of treating their associates like machines. What really makes me sick is, they're firing hard workers so they don't have to deal with the hike in their unemployment insurance, not at all concerned with the fact that this hurts these former associates' chances of being rehired at another job or that they have bills to pay. All this so their corporate office can look at the payroll (And overlook all the angry customers who can't find anyone to help them) and say, "Good job Jon Doe, you get a raise!" And as you can no doubt tell, yes, I'm VERY bitter about this. But I have good reason, as far as I'm concerned.

Omegatau: What, a grown woman poking at a little girl? What's so wrong about that?
