The mouse! I love the way you describe the mouse, because I draw too and it's just like that--I make the animals look different for different people. Or deformed for deformed people. Your Sai is so unintentionally hilarious and cutting. I agree with your Sai being extra winful. He is very in-character, just MORE SO. It's Sai if Sai were the star instead of Naruto.

I laughed heartily at "mostly dead" because it referred to both Monty Python and The Princess Bride. Your comment about miracles has been a great comfort lately. Thanks.
