Spikes sad face makes me sad
But the end makes me happy again!

Spike is the new undisputed master of the "puppy-dog eyes"

Awww! That was nice of him to play with Spike.

Spike could get away with anything with that face!

Great update as always, Stu!

If that's what i'm thinking, the rating has just been sent a bit too high...

Nah, I don't think so. If an anime like One Piece, Naruto or Dragon Ball is considered PG-13, then I've no doubt that H1X can be PG-13 as well.
And, as I told you, I require a little violence for this story. Nothing orrible or chilling, of course, but without this feature H1X loses it's meaning.

BTW, it's only fire... I don't think PG-13 is broken for such a thing

OOh, fire! How exciting! I can't wait for the next update to see how he deals with this.

I'm afraid for the next update, to be honest if fire make everyone jump from their pants, I think that I've to make the next one a little less... less

Actually, for a moment I was kind of thinking it was the whole "vision of hell" thing. I think it would still be PG-13 though.

Burn~ Baby Burn! Oh Yah! Burn~ Baby Burn! Oh Yah!
Fire on the dance floor! Fire burning~ Fire burning~ on the dance floor!
I'm REALLY liking this now! HA HA HAaaaa!

Well, I suppose I should have seen this coming. This is a tragedy, after all. Spike's not allowed to be happy.

As for the translation, "...wake me up the morning" should be "...wakes me up in the morning", and "better for me to reach him" would some better as "I'd better go get him" or some variation of that.

Uhm, guess you're right, now that you tell me I realized that can seem like that.



Oh, thanks for the hints! I'll fix it right now

Actually, I think I misread panel four. "I'd better go meet him" or "I should get going" would probably be better replacements. Sorry...

Argh, i've already fixed it! Let's say that is ok the way it is

Sorry! Yes, lets. It should still be fine.

You don't need to change your next update. The fire was unexpected, but nothing that would make me jump as you say. I think we can handle what you have planned. I really want to see what your vision of this is, unaltered by reader input.

Not that I wanted to change it xD story is complete, 100%, change it right now is very difficult for me.
I just have to make a few corrections with drawings, nothing more. As I said, if One Piece and Naruto are PG-13 classified, H1X is not so hard to be that mature.

Oh wow! I go away for two days and when I come back... fiery blazing inferno! But what's burning? It's not the sand I'm sure, and it doesn't look like it's the building Spike is in, more like something outside...

I think that's supposed to be the inside of the store. Spike was probably sleeping in a back room or something.

AT: ...I'm coming back from you.

Alright, I need to bite that one in the bud. Even if a story is PG, it is NOT completely harmless to all characters.

I have on my bookshelf three movies:

All Dogs Go To Heaven - G
Watership Down - PG
Plague Dogs - PG-13

The intensity or subject matter of a plotline has nothing to do with the rating, or even if any characters die in it; it is all in how it's handled. In all of these movies, character death is an ever-present threat.

ADGTH - All deaths are handled off-screen, and there's no blood except for minor wounds. (In fact, of the things they had to do to get a G rating instead of PG, one was to change an actual bullet gun to a laser gun. Why? Laser guns are fantasy and less visceral). In addition, most of the dogs in this movie--including the main character--are verminous scum. If it were released today, it'd likely receive a PG rating for all the gambling and smoking that goes on--but only PG

WD - There's several very awful death scenes, even a couple up-close shots of characters being bloodied. If this were released today it might get a PG-13, but that's only because there's almost no difference between G and PG for a lot of things now.

PD - This is a horror movie. Injured/dead/dying animals are common, characters are being shot at, and even awful things are done off-screen (main characters eat the corpse of a pursuant hunter that broke his neck after a fall) For that last one, it's only implied in-shot that they were considering it, then later the news broadcast said it actually happened. Most actual instances of animals being hit were off-screen, unless done by other animals.

Uhm, I understand. I'll keep those movies in mind as a reference.
Long story shot, I'm still "inside" PG-13, am I right?

Well within, so long as it doesn't stray too far into Plague Dogs territory, which it has definitely not.

Back from America.

Translation delivered:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not Travis!
Nice update. I cried.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE (what a surprise :p)

HA HA HAaaa! What is life without death? I can't wait~

I love Watership Down~

Hey, I like it so far!

What breed is spike? Or is he just a mutt like Peanut? Just wondering...

So sad! Spike now is on his own, and Travis has left this world...

This was a great update, Stu. I wonder what you will surprise us with next.

It's not nice to roll your eyes, Copper.

Oh, hush, Elly. You know it was meant lightheartedly. At least, I hope that's how everyone takes it.

Initially he was... something, only graphics without description.
Then I figured out that he actually is very similar to a black german shepherd... so I guess it is a black german shepherd
EDIT:

At least is... similar.

YAY I'M FUNNY! *dance*

Well, at least we know what breed now.

Also: This is very good, please keep doing these, yada yada.

I haven't commented on this yet? Huh. Well, I think it's readily apparent now what you meant by 'like a broken mirror'. Still... I wonder what (or who) set the store on fire.

AT: Before you asking me, Spike's NOT an hand ripper. It's just that knife.

Ooh, Shadow face! That always means mysterious powers or troubled past!

It looks good, I can't wait for the translation. Stupid arsonist deserves it.
