Slightly Off-Topic

It’s actually unfair of me to characterize the action in an episode of Naruto Shippuden like this… to be really accurate, I’d have to insert at least six more panels and fill them with inane commercials for non-Naruto-related and slightly age-inappropriate toys!  I’d like to say that’s an exaggeration, but I’ve been watching the show with Brittany, and I swear there’s only about twelve minutes of cartoon per half-hour episode… and what story they do show is really only about two minutes of action spread way, way out.  I mean, I’ve seen episodes where the entire thing was just the team skipping through trees!  This isn’t the Lord of the Rings, you know… and speaking of the skipping, did they cut the animator’s salaries or something… when did the Ninja’s learn to fly?!?  Don’t they occasionally have to actually jump or something?!?  I don’t seem to recall anyone shouting Superman-flying jutsu or anything else, so why are they flying?!?…

I’m just saying…

So today is officially the last clue in the year-long Crumpler Laptop Bag giveaway contest!  As far as a clue, well she’s at it again, so you should probably take the time to see who Colbey is… and then come to Penguicon this year to meet her creator!  Remember, you can always go back through the archives and find the past codes, but you have to be quick as I am ending the contest at 00:01am on February 3rd!
