So when is that canid going to be making a repeat appearance, Allan?

You mean Eliza? She's here, dude.

The third member of the UH2 gang, hanging out and playing pool, is the same one we saw leaping offa buildings in the intro sequence.

I tried to make the designs match, and use her name in both sequences, but I guess it didn't come through.

I was hoping for a ripple of surprize when the superspy showed up for game night like it was no big deal, but I didn't get one. Now I know why.

Actually, I was more surprised she went to Pierce's school. But then, Volair was a spy as a teenager too.

No, not Eliza! The canid that was chasing Eliza in the first go of comics for UH2. He displayed just enough cavalier bravado for me to get the sense that he won't just give up simply because he was beaten by someone better at the game than himself.

And, seriously, why would Eliza have caused a "splash?" Volair was a cyborg, super-spy in high school while Rick was already a mad scientist with giant robots. I'm sorry to have to point this out to you, Allan, but you set the "woah, that's surprising!" bar pretty far up there; I mean, I think satellites pass underneath it in the latter stages of orbital decay.

Oh. WHEW.

Sorry. Got myself carried away. And the guy on the roof is a feline.

We will see him again, and it will be cool. But it will be a loooong time before he comes back. There are at least five major characters slated to get introduced before him.

Yeah. I underestimate the immunity to weird one builds up reading this comic sometimes.

As for that bar, I have a couple of Fosberry Flops up my sleeve yet...

While we're overthinking characters...when does the cute feline from the hallway come back? And will Pierce be afflicted with more floating hearts when he does? =^.^=

I know the answers to both of those questions.

And I'm not telling.

Hmm? Allan's learned restraint? When did that happen?

I suppose enough teasing of his tendency to drop spoliers had to have an effect eventually.

Now to see if it lasts
