There's an explaination for that in the FAQ, but I'll repeat it none the less....<P> Shinkutokimekisempukaku (or Shinku, for short) roughly translates to "Vacuum Sailor suit Kick". The name is kind of a parody on Ryu's "Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku " from the Street Fighter games. Since the comic focuses a lot on video games I figured it made sense as a title. Shinkutokimekisempukaku is the name of the fiction city that is located in Texas that Robbie and co. live in.

Oh great. Thanks a lot Yamcha.
Now I've got ideas for a Pocket Shinku that involves a Sailor Vacuum.
That's just great.<P>------------------
I have come to the realization that there is no need for a witty message here, becuase this is truely just an advertisment.

Then I'll have to draw it... Maybe I'll even get it scanned instead of just computer art.
Ooooooo.....
Oh, and thanks for making Your Meltdown. I didn't know I was a POW in Bionic Commando.
Now I have to download the game, because I finaly got a Nintendo emulator.
But I will delete the file because I am not a crimanel. I do not break copyright laws... heh heh.<P>------------------

Well the comic is done. It turned out different than originaly planned... kinda' wrote itself. I just have to get a friend to scan it for me, and you have two, full size pages, of JOEY GOODNESS!!!!
Oops. I got a little worked up there.
WAKU WAKU 7!<P>------------------
