Good lord, you come up with these stories fast! :laughing: I like the plot progression very much. The flashback structure breaks the story up nicely. Those word balloons are still a bit of a challenge to read, but I think your layouts are generally becoming better. That initial overhead view of the hot-tub is quite impressive. And you're endlessly inventive in providing the tickling opportunities! Well done once again! I eagerly await chapter 2!
