The second was Asher's victory dance, and the third was the kitten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was always going to colour the frame for the purposes of better icons, but never got around to it.  I'm horrible about putting off colouring things, which is why I never got around to doing any more of those 'Celeste Sings some History' comics.  I can only colour when I've got a duedate, like a holiday comic or the cover of a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;form action=&quot;https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;cmd&quot; value=&quot;_s-xclick&quot;&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but21.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; alt=&quot;Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;encrypted&quot; value=&quot;-----BEGIN PKCS7-----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-----END PKCS7-----&quot;&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	[in &lt;a href=http://www.newsisfree.com/sources/info/36912/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Medieval&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;]	</description>

	<title>A special friend - Comic 1204</title>
	<link>http://www.newsisfree.com/iclick/i,301798449,36870,o/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.commissionedcomic.com/?p=469'&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.commissionedcomic.com/comics/2008-08-13.jpg' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m not really any good at being &amp;#8220;politically correct&amp;#8221;, since I&amp;#8217;ve always been of the opinions that words are just words and things are just what they are. Nevertheless, I don&amp;#8217;t really have anything against people with mental disabilities being called &amp;#8220;special&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;What I do have something against, is people that seem to be afraid of calling their boy or girlfriend exactly that, and so they come up with alternatives name that just don&amp;#8217;t sound right. And while we&amp;#8217;re there, what&amp;#8217;s the matter with calling the person you&amp;#8217;re married to &amp;#8220;wife&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;husband&amp;#8221;? Did the words do something to you when you were little?&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;Significant other&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;life partner&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;special friend&amp;#8221;&amp;#8230; the list goes on and on! It&amp;#8217;s all just a lit of many ways to avoid calling person by the word that best describes your relationship to him or her.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;d like to thank a hot Canadian woman (that we&amp;#8217;ll call &amp;#8220;J&amp;#8221;) because the idea for today&amp;#8217;s comic came from a conversation with her. No, she didn&amp;#8217;t refer to her boyfriend as a &amp;#8220;special friend&amp;#8221; - we just had a conversation about how we both hated those alternative names.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Good hunting;&lt;br /&gt; 
O&lt;/p&gt;
