| I can't join forums otherwise I end up killing people and eventually the entire forum, just how i am.
I like how you layout the panels in these comics, it makes a nice change from the regular type |

| can't be bothered with forums - I end up trying to answer every thread, get too busy and disappear for a few weeks and then not know where to start again. I prefer it here.
Regarding the hypothalamus - as far as I know it's not actually a part of the brain, but a seperate gland that just looks alike and is right under the brain. Then again, it is made out of nuirons so maybe I'm wrong. We do study it a bit in endocrinology class, and the teacher said it's one of the glands that produce hormons in the body. Oh, well - there's actually a difference between using all of the brain for automatic functions vs. using the brain for conscious thought. I think that this 10% business is nonsense, but most humans do work on such a low level that there is definite room for improvements. Not that being more conscious of the world will give a person half the stuff they say, but it might give an ability to evaluate different possibilities of future events, and better sensitivity to other people. |

| I was always under the impression that the "10%" of our brain was only our conscious mind, while the other 90 %was unconscious and automatic stuff. Of course, I've no idea where I'm getting this and thus could be terribly wrong, but hey, you can't blame a guy for trying and all that. :)

| Yasu's expression is a bit bland in the second panel. Nose is too far to the left, mouth slightly too high.
Last panel, I'm not too sure what's wrong, but it's hard to tell that it's her back. It sort of gives the impression of being a merging of her front and back. @__@ I don't think that made any sense... ...I'm sorry. x_X Liked the way you did the guy's hand, but the line for the top of his arm/shoulder probably didn't have to go that far. (the elbow bend sort of disappears) Hmm... and I don't think that was fully comprehensible either. >_> ...oh well? I-If you don't get it and actually want to know, I s-suppose I'll give another shot at explaning it... later.. *shifty eyes* |

| Well, I heard that the 10% myth comes from the fact that experiments on lab mouses show that there is a possibility of survival even with only 10% of the brain.
But I think it is better if we stop talking about this, looks like Jason is getting angry... |

| We use all of our brain, the 10% myth has been distorted form the original fact that from new born to the age of three 90% of neurons are connected to store data, thats why you need to give a lot of attention to children and why they are so curious. So from age 3 to the end of your life your capacity is 10% of the total. So yes, the 10% myth is false, but the original fact is...well...fact.
Now on to something that matters, I'm liking the comic, I read the archives of the other generations and the improvement is noticeable (sprites aside). That hand that was mention earlier does look very good........it almost make everything around it look bad because it looks that good to me. I also like how you don't have the story set in stone, It leaves freedom for the readers and you, keep it up and keep improving story and art. |

| I'm going to address the 10% myth on the next news entry, so I'm going to refrain from commenting about that here =P
@Ara: Thanks for the advice...I followed all of it pretty well, so there's no need to reexplain. I think Yasu's eyes were too low rather than the mouth being too high though... @That Guy: Heh, a new member who actually took the time reading my older work. Nevertheless, I'm happy to see a new reader and hope I won't disappoint your expectations in the future. And is that hand that good...? I didn't really give it that much thought while drawing it...and normally I really despise drawing hands (and feet) |

| On the 10% of your brain thing, I heard that we only use an AVERAGE of 10% of our brain AT ONE TIME. So when you are watching TV you are most likely using less, and when you are taking a test or debating you may use more. |
