I'm sure you guys are wondering what the heck is taking me so long to update!
Well, I had a bunch of exams (which are over now), I'm competing in the Iron Avatarist (which is higher in priority because of time limit), and the web site I have that posts my comics isn't letting me post more then 20 pages. So as soon as I solve problem #3 and I run out of ideas for Iron Avatarist, updates will resume. When? I don't know.
I do not. I think it was straight up vocabulary, or perhaps a vocab question within the reading section. I didn't even have to think before circling 'Personal mannerism'.

Oh well, glad I could help. I actually came across this word in an interesting way. I remembered from Monty Python and the Holy Grail that Sir Lancelot would stutter over words and Concord would help him out. I remember he said "idiom". I was told that meant the "way you do things" and liked that as an answer to some questions to when I do weird things. Then I was corrected that it wasn't what it meant, so I asked the person if they knew a word that meant the definition I was after. And so they pointed me to Idiosyncrasy.

You mean on the "English class" thread? Wasn't I the one who pointed out that idiom did not mean what you thought it meant?

I'm sure I owe you guys an update comic right now. And with all the updates in the other fan comics, I decided to say 'screw you life' and update to Comic #20.
YAY!! Celebration!
And remember that one comic I told you guys that I was excited to do but was unhappy with the result. Well, it was the opposite for this one. I wasn't eager to work on this, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. It looks alot better then what I pictured it in my head.
I agree, that there is one excellently drawn raptor! Hooray! ;)

I am not brave enough to say something outrageous and be serious. You'll be happier if you assume I'm joking.
Stoats legit King Arthur by The Succubus.
Because I'm obnoxious!
I'd like to claim all credit for the depiction of the Raptor character. *bow* Thank you, thank you, you're too kind.

And I'd like to point out that she indeed drew the raptor for me. I've always had trouble with it so she'll draw the poses for me. Then I'll alter it slightly as I see fit, but the majority of the work comes from her.
I took those in seventh grade, as some program for talented youth, and it was the most boring day of my life.
Seriously.
And some of the questions were kind of hard, but it was the boredom that made it difficult.
Spoiler'd due to length of tangent.

Meh. I took the SATs in 6th grade and it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. To be honest, though, I've heard from almost anyone it's no sweat; I'm not expecting it to be harda t all. It's more of a standardized test-taking test, as the questions are all easily answerable if you've taken the classes. The math is possibly the easiest thing ever after all the problem-solving stuff I've taken... It seriously feels like just Arithmatic, which is no problem at all for someone in Calculus. Besides, 7th grade is a very bad judge for it, as I was only taking Geometry then; the vast majority of the questions on each test are Geo questions.
I didn't know a couple of the vocabulary questions, but they were easy to infer. Methinks all the MMOs and PbPs have helped with grammar a lot, too.
And, if you have a tablet or scanner, try drawing it by hand; it helps a lot. If Mauve's happy with giving you so many poses, though, I suppose it doesn't really matter :P
