I had to kill the easy sign up process. Within hours this site was plagued with spammers creating accounts.
Sorry, readers-without-accounts. you’ll have to email me.
Spammers gotta spam just like haters gotta hate. If they didn’t spam (or hate as applicable) then they’d menschen (or “mensches”) instead of the unmenshen – i.e. an utterly despicable or unlikeable or unfriendly person – that they are. FYI, a mensch is (literally) “a person”. In Yiddish, it means a person of honor and integrity. I am reminded of that great line Shatner delivered (in his own, much impersonated “style”) in “Wrath of Kahn”, “Of all the souls I have known, his was the most human.” Spock is (was?) a mensch, and Nimoy even more so. Miral is a mensch so OF COURSE she feels guilt over Kelly’s death. Though she probably has never heard the word “kith” she very much has them. Kith – as I understand the word from “kith and kin; hearth and home” means “kin by other than blood”. Kin means blood (or by marriage) relatives. My (surviving) brother (I used to have another brother but he died a drunk in’04) and my sister are kin by blood; my wife’s sister is kin by marriage. For (the inimitable, incomparable) Miral “her” Kelly was well and truly “kin by other than blood”. If she did not mourn Kelly and beat herself up for “failing ” to save him she would not BE either a mensch or who she is. Thank you, Catman, for creating my 2nd favorite character (in all of everything I have ever read or watched on a screen) after Spock.
Catman. It’s me, Old Bill! Since when can we comment without logging in first????? For that matter, how do we log in in the first place? In the immortal words of Vinnie Barbarino “I’m so confused!” 😉
BTW, it was me asking for pix of Wildcat’s Fighter. Aren’t those birds called “Dragonflies”?
I’m confused. I can set this site so that everyone can comment anonymously, or that registered users under their names, but not both.
So I’ve limited it to regular users only until I can figure it out. If I ever do.
Kelly didn’t realize the effect his words would have on Miral if things went south.
She’s pretty tough, but still young: http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-239/
Fifth panel.
I like the perspective art in the fourth panel. Great work.
The reference you gave was Spike not Kelly. Kelly helped more because he was her buddy and not her instructor so she could relax and just be friends.

Cool! Now who are you?

The reference was a reminder that Miral is pretty young and vulnerable, despite being tough and sassy.
Miral should be alright now as she is tough and has lots of support now as well.

Petercat, I’m gonna kinda of miss Kelly… I suspect Miral was much more than fond of him… Too bad he and his few troops couldn’t find a way to survive…
