Rescue Laura Part II: The Rescue Mission.

What virgins?? The sarcastic banter was better than ever, and the natural backgrounds never fail to impress. The bad guys lost ridiculously easily, but I suppose that was the point.

Well done, that was a amazing installment.

I had initially hoped to include some battle scenes, but thought that at 28 pages, the story was long enough as it was and the battle scenes would do nothing to change the outcome or make the story more funny.

The contract part was hilarious. I am surprised Dr. Diablos is a kind of villain to observe such contractual obligations

He probably has a contract himself.....

You really nailed the comedic and plot pacing in this teriffic tale, I thought! It took a few pages to get warmed up, because you had to set up the scene, but by page 5 or 6 it was non-stop hilarity! Some of the lines took me by surprise and I was trying to read the panels and look at the pictures through tears in my eyes from laughing. No exaggeration!

The "firelight" lighting looked cool, and the gals have awesomely sculpted abs! I like the way the chisled anatomy of the prisoners was "artfully" conveyed against similarly craggy rock walls.

I was delighted to see you working with "shadowy lighting" through much of the story. You maintained the "bright, clear" lighting as is typical of your K-Troop HQ photos during the HQ scenes, but the night shots were appropriately shadowy, and I was impressed by how closely you emulated the lighting and set design of the Dr. Evil sabotage scene when you cut to Diablos in his underground office talking with Lilli. The transition was visually... seamless.

One of the things I thought was handled EXTREMELY well was managing the "dialog flow" among two or more characters in a single panel. I thought you handled the back-and-forth dialog extremely clearly in your panels in which it occurs.

Balloons -- The Congolese Balloon Battalions warrant a side-story of their own! That was funny! I was picturing each "battalion" as consisting of a single balloon.

I LOVED your miniature island mock-up... in a water tray no less... at the briefing session at HQ! That was so cool! Did you use epoxy resin to create the water tray? And Bond-Fleming cracked me up with his "Actually, this one is pretty much the worst I've ever seen" as they were evaluating the defenses.

We learned, too, that Kamiko has an aversion to "negative waves." If Diablos gets wind of this, he might hatch another cunning plan, a Negative Wave Generator or something.

Poor Heidi. Such a nice uniform. Ah well, I'm sure a Heidi II will replace her; or maybe a Helga or a Hildegarde or a Hedvig.

It was a fun story, loads of laughs, impressively photographed, with a professional comic book layout. Definitely a lot of work, but the results were worth the time and effort!

Ha! Nice gaming reference!

I vaguely recall having heard of a movie version of the comic book (or graphic novel) mentioned in the story:
