You should be happy–it’s a very good page.
I love how gentle her hand is on Ayo’s head in the third panel. Not to mention the timing’s working beautifully. All the text is taking up the right amount of time in each panel, and they’re broken up in a really meaningful way–no waste space.
And besides, the “punchline” (if you will), is really interesting because its the beginning of Bina’s arc.
I remember saying that, only about my partner. Guys and girls, one of the best miracles of the modern age is the non-delivering partner actually being welcome at the birth instead of pacing awkwardly in a room outside. Been present for three births (Only two of which I am in any way responsible for!) And each was magical and unique.
And kinda squishy and icky, but you get over that surprisingly fast. ^.^
Part of me thinks (like other above) that was a euphemism for pregnancy, but I really like the fact that it probably isn’t. It’s a wonderful characterisation of Bina’s growth into a stronger individual. Plus great artwork.
Truly a beautiful page.
Firstly, I really love this page, it¡s beautiful. Both, the art and the dialogue. Beautiful. Really good job, Magnolia ^^.
Secondly, then we’ve definitely agreed that Ayo is a male, right? Yes, my Spanish brain always knew it!! xD Sorry, I can’t help it – a word ending in ‘o’ is usually masculine in my language. And plus, ‘corazón’ (heart) is a masculine word. It was really difficult for me to think of him as a female, even if he came out of a female body. I’m sure the rest of Spanish-speaking readers (if there are any more) will understand xD.
The monsters are technically genderless, but Bina has referred to Ayo as female and I think Julie has referred to Kera in the same way. The same is probably true of the guys, heck, Ned referred to Wilbur as male.
Since they’re technically genderless, it probably doesn’t matter whether you think of Ayo as male or female.
Oh, right! Of course! I’ve read again the bubble and I’ve understood it now xD Hahahah, sometimes I don’t know how to read… OK, I understood that with ‘he’ Bina was referring to Ayo. For some reason. I was quite puzzled… But, of course, she referred to West -.- Wow, I feel stupid now.
OK, everything clear. (Deep inside, I’ll go on thinking of Ayo as a male anyway, I can’t help it).
Waah that last panel almost made me cry
I love this webcomic. If I had a monster, I’d want it to be my lymph system, so I could punch it in the face for getting cancer >:D
Which is one of the reasons why Julie is my absolute favorite character 8D bald girls unite! (Actually my hair has started coming back now)
I’ve been following this comic to the end, but I decided to reread the whole thing. I just have to say… This page made me tear up. Mostly because it shows hope and it’s just fascinating to see something so small from oneself be so strong.
Well Bina, it’s like this:
You + Crazy Metaphysical Zappadoo – One Integral Part of Your Being = Superpowers
D’aww, what a euphemism for pregnancy.
this.
You’re welcome.
OMFG CUTEST THING EVER ABSOLUTELY EVER. D’awwwww BINA!
It’s beautiful! You’ve rendered Bina amazingly in that last panel, I can totally feel what she must be feeling, through the power of ART.
Hrm, connected HOW?
I bet Ayo is just tired after getting zapped, fried by the shield, then powering up to toss that heavy boat.

Everything’s exciting here!! Can’t wait for more!
It’s technically Julies chapter though, and Wests introduction.

IT’S A METAPHOR!!
Oh, Bina.
West’s logic saves the day again!
What happened to Rixis and Abel?? They were still on the boat, right? Am I the only one thinking of poor Abel?
You’re definetly not the only one, we’re all wondering and yes they were still on the boat, hopefully strapped in.
Well, actually, some of us got distracted by Ayo’s cuteness. Or maybe it was just me. I have a fish memory.
Okay, some of us then, and I don’t think Ayo is so cute as to be distracting, but that’s just me.
An important moment of discovery in any person’s life. Bina is lucky to be making that discovery so young.
Also, that last panel. So gorgeous. Keep on rockin’, Magnolia.
I think in terms of art, this might be the best page so far! It’s really dynamic and interesting to look at.
Part of me thinks (like other above) that was a euphemism for pregnancy, but I really like the fact that it probably isn’t. It’s a wonderful characterisation of Bina’s growth into a stronger individual. Plus great artwork.
Truly a beautiful page.
@those saying its an euphenism for pregnancy: If it were a guy saying that, would it be an euphenism for masturbation or something?
Also, wheres Guuzy and Kera?, I don’t see them in the first panel or afterwards.
I think this is the first time Bina looks truly happy about her life.
AAAGH WHY IS THERE LIQUID COMING OUT OF MY EYE PLACE
What a beautiful last panel!
wait a minute, west is a boy?? dang, I’d been reading him as a girl all this time
Yea, the first page after the chapter title page had me confused until Magolina said that it was from Wests perspective.

Also, beautiful shading :3

Actually, Bina’s always referred to Ayo as a her.
…
Yeah, it caught me off guard too. XD
Oh my god this broke my heart in such a fantastic way.
Or maybe it STRENGTHENED IT!
Aw, that last panel’s so sweet.
Almost two weeks now and I keep coming back to look at that last panel. What a beautiful discovery to make.

Wow, I hope you are okay! Thank you for reading, I’m glad it means something to you /:]
D’awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
Totally the most adorable panel ever!
