Anya Alstreim News

 I have my mother's birthday today. We are having a birthday dinner and I'm bringing the dessert I baked. It's her favorite Apple Tart. My brother wont be there. He forgot our mother's birthday......again. He's seeing her Sunday. So, without further ado. Here is the next Code Geass R2 4koma.



Both are obviously based on the same episode. I made the image twice, because I couldn't settle on which ending I liked more. It plays off the events after Suzaku almost injected Kallen with a powerful hallucinogenic drug called Refrain. Seeing how that was a drug that her mother is suffering from. She didn't take to kindly to that. Suzaku returns to apologize for trying to use that on her, and she beats the living daylights out of him. It was a very nice scene.
 
The joke in the first one is actually based on a scene where Anya asks Suzaku if he's a masochist. There actually was an edited clip in the beat down scene where someone made it look like a fighting game. I saw that as I was working on this comic as well. I guess I wasn't the only person to get the same idea. lol
 
Hope you enjoy.

Here is the posting for today. It's a bit late in the day, because there was a Mythbusters marathon on today.


The previous 4komas had some pretty sexy art with the open cleavage and what happened to Cecile. This one has some beefcake for the girls.
 
The comic for Episode 12 is based on the idea of the male strippers at bachelorette parties. Now, if you have seen the previous episodes of Code Geass R2 that delt with this. Lelouch, dressed as Zero, interupted the wedding that had been arraigned for the Chinese Empress. Also, after the battle in China had been settled. Lelouch returned to Japan and found that two members of the Knights had joined the student council. I thought it would be funny if what he did created some sort of trend in male strippers. They dress up as Zero an try to kidnap the bride to be. In this comic I imagine that 'somehow' Milly talked Lelouch into being the man in the cake for this.
What Milly neglected to mention was that she canceled her arranged marriage. That she's going to wait until Lelouch dances for her to tell him. A lot of people don't quite get what Suzaku is thinking in this shot.  He's both confused and entertained. At this point he's not 100% sure if Lelouch has his memories back. So, he sees some irony in Lelouch dressed up as a stripper Zero. Here we have Lelouch in a banana hammock. lol
 
The comic for Episode 13 is based upon the scene where V.V. first appeared to Cornelia. He barely had the chance to say anything before she threw a knife into his head. I thought it was funny how she just cut him off mid-sentence. I thought it could be funny that if she just keeps trying to kill him over and over. Each time he gets to say less and less. Barty is just standing there getting bored. In the end V.V. is just ticked off and Cornelia is still trying to kill him. I wanted her to have a look of both fear and intense intrigue.
 
In case you are wondering. What V.V. is trying to say in each panel before he's cut off:

" Now, as I was saying. "
" You know, that still hurts. "

Hope you enjoyed and had a good laugh. The Mythbusters marathon is over. So now, I'm going to go play some Assassin's Creed 2.
