#58 – Hohoemi no Bakudan [Smiling Bomb]
YuYu Hakusho Opening – “Smiling Bomb”
Watch that first, then the title will make sense. 
I had that song stuck in my head the whole time when I was working on it, and it just seemed appropriate to name this comic after a great song. Its still one of my favorites, and I first heard it…7 years ago? Gosh its been a long time, lol.
The last line in the full version of the song is: “Your smile makes my heart explode!” which, you know…Smiling Bomb!
*hums it as he goes about his day now*

Yay for that too!
And Kyle does care, he just has a strange way of showing it I think. He’s maybe a little too playful and mischievous sometimes, which is probably why people think he’s a bit mean, lol. He really does care though!
It’s all because of when I see my friends,
Oh my, every time,
They’re always behind me,
Pushing me on,
Lighting the fire in me (fire in me)! X3

Oh you…
It could also lead to silliness! Which might moreso be the case here I think, lol.

Wait…something in this comic could lead to silliness?
But…but that would make the description “Bi-weekly silly webcomic” accurate! :O

Yaaaay, someone read the description!
And yes, yes it would. I’m really hoping to make it more accurate too, I’ve just got to make things more silly. Its not as easy to do as it sounds though!

Oh yes. I’m aware.
It’s difficult to make things sillier without turning them into something downright weird.
“Look! A purple antelope in a field of tuna fish!…For no apparent reason!”

Yeah, exactly! I’m still learning and trying to get things right, and I think I’ve done a few comics that have been silly and somewhat funny at least, so that’s hopefully a good thing. Its an ongoing process, and not everything’s going to be a gem I guess.

“Gem” every time for the storyline or not, the first reason I started following this webcomic was the great artwork, which consistently makes my heart go “pitter-patter” with how pretty (not to mention adorable) it is. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake (granted, icing makes the cake yummy, so I fully encourage your silliness to continue).

“At the end of the test you will be baked and there will be cake.” If silly is the way of this web comic. We need some loony toons kinda stuff.

Good to see Kyle NOT acting like a jerk for once. I didn’t really like him that much when i met him, but this page have somewhat changed that. ^^

Hehe, he just has a funny way of dealing with people he cares about.
Mainly messing around with them, lol. He really does care though! He just doesn’t usually show that in any traditional way. He -did- treat FW to pizza when he first showed up you know (despite maybe eating most of it himself)!

I think friendship is very important, probably one of the most important things in life!

Yeah, he did need a friend… at least Kyle knew he wasn’t that great of one. I hate it when you have to tell people that they aren’t all that nice. He seems to be a lot happier though! (Only 2 more months ’til I can finally try to make REAL friends
)

He does care though! He’s just not good at showing it! XD He did show up the first day FW moved in and showed him aroudn town and went out to dinner with him and stuff. I didn’t realize people thought he was being a jerk most of the time, lol. And yay for real friends, though why do you have to wait 2 more months to make friends? o_O

Graduation
When you’re in a school of 400 (including the middle school…) and everyone either 1) Just isn’t nice, 2) is just into partying, or 3) seems to be anti- anything I could like, having friends is a problem >.<
Hopefully things’ll get better!

Good. Good. I’m glad to see FW’s got someone to leeeea~n on. He was having a heck of a poor time before good ol’ Damien showed up.

I do too! So yeah, the plan wasn’t to have FW be the butt of all the jokes…A lot maybe, but not all of them.

Well of course. Self-deprecating humor is often very useful in comedy, so putting aside that possibility would get rid of a lot of potential material. And yeah, I know FW isn’t actually -you-, the person typing these responses and drawing the comics, but it’s close enough to self-deprecating humor since we don’t know much more than the alternate name of Wilfredo.
Also…! Did you know that replies get locked after a certain number of posts? Example: our conversation above this one. Perhaps that was done to reduce spam on the comments page?

Okay, nope, didn’t know that! Fixed it though, but it looks like it can only go up to 10 comments still. XP
Haha, and its funny to think of my real name as an “alternate” one like that. I should really put some more personal info on the “About” page, but I don’t like talking about myself too much, lol. Though I’ve just gotta ask, cause your name is -really- familiar…Sam wouldn’t happen to be short for “Samantha”, would it?

It worked! Hurrah! Let’s hope you rarely, if ever, need more than 10 responses in a row, then.
And your guess is correct. You’ve probably seen a few comments of mine on FA since I realized you have an account there. Oh, and in case you were wondering, no, “Samantha Weltzin” is not my RL name nor is she my “fursona.” Just a character of mine and a tag for the ‘Net.
Thanks for showing interest, though!

Hehe, I knew that much, that Samantha was a character of yours, but just wanted to make sure it was the same person!
I’ve always liked Samantha, dunno if I ever mentioned that or not. 
And thank you for showing interest in my comic!

:O You like Samantha? To tell the truth, I’m kinda surprised you even know who she is. Might have to get my timelines straight on where I’ve seen you and when, ‘cuz I didn’t think I introduced Samantha to the online world ’til after you’d moved from the first place I saw you, and I didn’t join FA ’til a year or two after that. ‘Course, that doesn’t discount the possibility of you simply remaining a spectator on that first place I s’pose. Hmmm…*Ponders, and will probably ask Damien.*
As for the interest: But of course! I didn’t know you still had an online presence ’til I had this pointed out to me, and I jumped at the chance to see your material again, as I found it so charming previously.

I really liked it too! I remember watching the anime years ago, before they stopped airing it on Cartoon Network. But then I found out that they still were! Just at like 4 in the morning, lol. So I had to record the last season pretty much and watch them when I had the chance. I was sad when it ended, I didn’t realize I was so attached to all of the characters.
The whole group dynamic of the four of them was just really great, I hope to make a story like that someday.
