It's possible I misread a few of them, but that's all I've got.

I believe the last two are actually サイモン（Simon) and バイ（buy). ^_^

Yeah, I may have written モ backwards so that it looks like チ by mistake. Oh well, there's no reason why my name needs to be on buildings (or even grounded ships), so why can't it be Saichin?

And apparently it's the only thing he finds surprising or weird here.

Poles changing colour....yeah, that's so crazy. What in the world is going on? A pole got painted a different colour!
And other than that, everything else is perfectly normal... but the pole is a different colour! It makes up for everything else normal! Terrifying how things can change soooo drastically...
If you haven't noticed, I like sarcasm.

Wow. I have to say that so far, I LOVE this comic! And Pin is my especial favorite~ Although I like the other characters, too.
Just one thing I'd like to point out: The lines around the characters look a bit sketchy. It's not so bad, just outlining them a second time (without sketching) will eliminate that. Also, it'll thicken their outlines just a teensy bit. You don't need to do that with the background, but the foregound needs to stand out. You know? Just a bit of advice from a fellow artist~ I hope it helps! *^v^*

Thanks, I'm really glad you like it! It always makes my day when new people post a comment just to say that :D
Thanks for the suggestions too. I always try to improve and make it look as nice as possible overall, but actually the slightly "sketchy" quality of the art is a stylistic choice... I don't want it to look totally clean and polished, if that makes sense. And you're probably right about making the foreground stand out, I usually try to do this using color.
I'll keep what you said in mind for the future. Hope you keep reading :)

New series of special vote incentives!
Hey all! I've added a new vote incentive image at TWC (which could very well be news itself, since it's been ages since I changed that up), but as if that weren't enough this is actually the beginning of a series of incentive images that will be appearing every 2 weeks or so. In a couple of months you'll see that they actually have something to do with the comic itself!
This isn't in the vein of the "character development" sketches I previously had posted... It's something completely new and different that I know many of you will get a kick out of seeing. Just vote for Sakana at TWC to check it out! Also as I said, look forward to more of these in the coming weeks. Cheers!

Good eye... There's way more than that, but it would take all day to list everything and I wouldn't suggest any one single person try it alone ;)
