*eyes pried open* I swear…I must be prepping for Nightmare on Elm Street b/c I’m certainly not sleeping. XD

Anyway – this is the last prize for the 2010 Pair-A-Thon! Gray-Seraphim’s request to be specific. He requested an affectionate parody of  a scene from Metal Gear Solid 4 featuring Big Boss (as played by Arthur Garrott, Sr.) and Solid Snake (as performed by Geoffry.)

This was actually pretty fun to do all things considered. Never played the Metal Gear games so here’s hoping I captured the mood of the scene.

And that you’re all as amused as I am because the above would probably never happen for Arthur & Geoffry. XD

Peace. I’m out and trying to get some sleep.

“One Two, Freddy’s Coming For You,
Three Four, Better Lock Your Door,
Five Six, Grab A Crucifix,
Seven Eight, Gonna Stay Up Late,
Nine Ten,You’ll Never Sleep Again!”

Freddy’s Poem from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Argh; Normally I don’t like doing pin-ups in the middle of chapters but today’s WaM just didn’t want to be written. Ah well. I know some people wanted to see this anyway. XD

For Pin-Up VII you got a young 19 year old Madame Garrott – well now you’ve got a young 25 year old Master Garrott.

Ha ha. He’s a total monster. Seriously. It’s just all out of frame. *hugs him*

As for the water bit – Old Arthur Garrott, Sr. is just that hardcore. Who needs wine?

“So much emotion
These eyes a strange kind of blue
Deep as the ocean
They named a sea after you
Don’t say “thank God for simple truths”, yeah
Don’t drink the water, baby
Don’t drink the water, baby”
“Don’t Drink the Water” by Tears For Fears

Things we have learned/gathered from today’s WaM:

1. Ricky got the winning line of the strip.
2. And Hnæf is as good as traumatized. Poor kid.
3. And Gawain is an idiot.

Oh oh! This is  a good reader participation strip time! We haven’t had one of those in ages!

What did you learn from today’s strip?

Color later~ Mwa ha ha ha. You all love me.

“I’m gonna avoid the cliche
I’m gonna suspend my senses
I’m gonna delay my pleasure
I’m gonna close my body now”

“Die Another Day” by Madonna

Oh lookie…something actually posted on time. XD

So yeah…had to leave work early due to power outages. Normally this would be a good thing but we had two jobs due out today that I couldn’t work on and will have to make up tomorrow morning. Add in the weather and I basically had no motivation to do anything…

That’s not really an excuse considering I had more free time than usual but I was reading fanfiction.

I’m not sorry. *twitch* I’m addicted.

I wonder if there’s a fanfiction readers anonymous…not that I’d join.

And I seem to remember I have emoticons.

Whee~~ I’m so out of it today. XD

Edit: Hey look! Color. And I just realized it was Friday the 13th. Heh.

“Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn’t get much lower.
Quicksand’s got no sense of humor.
I’m still laughing like hell.”

“Sound of Madness” by Shinedown

Ah, fear all the references to the first Volume.

Happiness is me. I’ve been waiting forever for Mr. Garrott to pick up Camlann. Mwa ha ha ha ha. *hack cough hack*

I’m good. I’m good. *breathes*

Oh! Driver’s Pa’s finally got a spot on the cast pages. So go check it out should you choose.

And speaking of stuff to check out, The Fanart Gallery has been updated quite a bit over the past few weeks. I just keep forgetting to tell you all.

“Lead me not into temptation
Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I’m feeling
But I can’t do it alone
Help me break this spell that I’m under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels
Watching over me tonight”

“Ten Thousand Angels” by Mindy McCready

Ug. So tired. Family visiting. Been busy. *passes out*

Okay! Real comments! I can’t wait for Wednesday’s strip. I plan very, very few things in WaM ahead of time, and Wednesday’s strip is one of them. I can’t wait. *squee*

In other news, I am a total coward. XD I was at an anime convention all weekend and had a stack of business cards for WaM. Two whole days and I didn’t gather the courage to pass out a single one. I am a loser. *sighs* At least I talked to more people this time than I usually do…even if I didn’t manage to get out the “hey! I do a comic!” line.

But I digress.

At least my new Revoltech Rodimus loves me. *hugs the figure*

“Show me the way to go home
I’m tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it went right to my head
Where ever I may roam
On land or sea or foam
You will always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go home”

“Show Me The Way To Go Home”

Ah, one more strip to go and we’ll be rid of this arc. *sings praises*

I’m so sick of drawing them in their formal wear. Ah well.  Thanks for reading every one!

Oh, and I got a Tegaki E. It’s addictive.

“Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
what creates my own madness
And I’m addicted to your punishments
And your the master
And I am waiting for disaster ”

“Getting Away With Murder” by Papa Roach

Ha ha. This is a call back to this story arc. I’m sure a few of you remember.

Anyway, I think I like how Driver turned out the most even though she didn’t have any lines. You wouldn’t think her the clingy type.

Though, if I had really planned this out I would have remembered that today is Christmas Eve and that Tomorrow is Christmas and done something special. But alas, I am that scatterbrained. Heh.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Dad wanted a shot of everyone on their individual planes. I figured why the heck not? XD And who is that in the top panel? You’ll find out later. Though you could also just look at the tags and figure it out. *cough*

Okay! Reader participation time – name your favorite panel in today’s strip and why! Feel free to name more than one should you so chose.

My fav is the one with Arthur and Sedrick. And it has nothing to do with the fact it turned out exactly the way I wanted and the fact Sedrick is my fav. of the cast. Heh. Though, Security’s face turned out rather well, too. *nods*

First off, if you haven’t voted for strip 90 yet, go do it. So far the cowboy costumes are winning.

As for today’s strip; a certain someone said “I want to see something other than pointless bickering today!” and I was feeling spiteful for no good reason. *cough*

I love you Daddy.

And as for the mystery lady in the last panel – stay tuned for Sunday’s strip to find out who she is. Assuming you hadn’t figured it out already from the one context clue.
