Dude, check this out!

So, today when I checked my Transypoo email (acey@transypoo.com) I noticed an email that wasn't a bot joining my forum The Playhouse. It was an email from Ilya Chentsov who is, apparently, the senior editor of a Russian gaming magazine.

Here's the Email:

Hello Adrien. I am a senior editor in Russian gaming magazine "Страна Игр" (Game Land). Recently we started a column on webcomics in our mag. I thought we can write about Transypoo, and I'm asking if we can use a single strip to illustrate the article.

Best regards,
Ilya Chentsov.

So I responded with a "YES." I looked into it too (by that I mean I did a google search) and I found that indeed "Game Land" is real. Well, I'm still going to keep the sensors open to check for scammage.
In other news, my G.I. Joe fan comic might end up on this site http://gijoe-comic.tripod.com/ which is slightly less exciting, but still cool. Apparently I'm getting popular?

Also, I apologize for there not being a comic last week, I was terribly busy, then my cousin was visiting, and well, I was distracted, so, sorry, I already finished this Sunday's comic, and I'm gunna start on next weeks as soon as I can. (Probably tonight.)

What else can I talk about. OH!

Last week I made purchase of the Japanese Reissue of Sky Lynx! When I has an old beat up Sky Lynx from child hood, that has a bit of a story to it. You see, I had this friend (don't remember his name, David maybe?) But I use to go to his house some times... quite often really, but any ways he had the pterosaur part of Sky Lynx (Sky?) and I use to play with it every time I went over, I though it was just made of awesome! I mean a space shuttle that turned into a dinosaur? (Ok, the pterosaurs are true 'dinosaurs' but you get the idea!) sO one day I asked if I could borrow the Dino-shuttle, and I kind of remember him protesting a little but I insisted and he let me borrow it. Then for some reason... I never saw him again! Unintentional stealing of a toy! Oh my! If you're reading this, my old friend, I'm sorry! You can have it back! It's in almost as good condition! Well, as time went along, I got into Transformers in the big way that I am into it today, and at, I think it was my first Botcon (Transformers convention) I gotthe lower half of Sky Lynx, but it was in terrible shape, it could roll, but walking was right out seeing as how almost all the attachment points were broken!

So, now I got a new one, and is it ever SHINY! Woo! Even though it covered some detailing, I just HAD to put the stickers on it to make up for mine not having any! So now Sky Lynx is PERFECT! (He'd love that) They painted the inside of his mouth this time 'round and even the little tiny lines across the windshield to make them more acurate to real shuttles... but he's got giant Autobot symbols on his wings... oh never mind. Like Transformers were EVER very good as being in disguise. This new 'dactyl can hold his head up and all the things that are supposed to lock into place do just that, plus, Lynx can WALK! I have yet to let him walk across the entire dinning room, but he will someday!Alright that's all for now, see yah, next time!
