As I wrote this plotline, I amused myself with the glimpses at Brigit's character. Her introduction was simply as a suspect in a single case, and then she just became an accessory/tagalong for Ricky – but she has managed to upstage and outshine him since the wedding. (I think she's been compensating for my lack of interest in her at the beginning in the same way that Mike started as a nameless thug that I called "the bored kid.") She's been fun to get to know. I really like the "extras" that somehow ended up the recurring cast.

Remember that this chapter is a continuation from Chapter 59. If there are any new or returning readers, you can refer to that chapter for "Brenda" and how they ended up like this.

ghostrunner: ^_~

Masq: Seiko is a small person, not quite child-sized, but they thought it would work. XD

BetaJess: Yes, hips can foil any woman's plans. Shouldn't forget to take them into account. ;-)

DAJB: Lol. I didn't even think of that! Goes to show what I was watching as a kid. (Actually, we didn't have the Disney channel until I went to college.) I think honey would make a better glue than lubricant. – Not that there aren't uses for nude honey-rubbing. XD

patrick: I like the contrast of setting and mood between the two plotlines. The other one is dark and moody, and this one has more of the comedy-adventure feel.

ttyler: Lol. Ten years ago, that reference would be America's Funniest Home Videos. Oh the changing times…

amanda: My sister took a picture of me in my underwear while I was getting ready for the prom. -_- Some people shouldn't be allowed to carry cameras.

trevor: Aren't they all?

Tantz: He'll have to get her to sign a release form. XD

dueeast: Actually, I do those kinds of pages frequently. ;-) It was more frequent in the beginning, but I still do them from time to time. (Chapter 57 had a punchline on many of the pages.)

Peipei: Hehe. I've seen pictures like that.

kyupol: Video always trumps still photography. ;-)

Warpedwenger: Lucy's definitely the most classic but not my favorite old sitcom. I like ton's of them (Kotter is great), but my favorite is Get Smart.
