It’s Iimi! Think Again

Sometimes people form assumptions based on wishful thinking or wrong assumptions. It doesn’t have to be malicious. Even people of goodwill can be mistaken. But when that happens, do we cling to our errors, like an author who shall remain nameless, making a musical out of a webcomic? Or do we… Think Again…

Post-Comic Notes:

Once upon a time, I thought about doing a bonus comic, “It’s Iimi! The Musical.” It went nowhere, but two of the songs I parodied for it wound up here.

(Blue) Hair [Sung to the tune of “Hair.”]
The original version (if you want to sing along) is available HERE. 

The Best Plot Ever [Sung to the tune of “Best Song Ever” by One Direction.]

The original version (if you want to sing along) is available HERE.

AI Disclaimer

I discontinued using AI for covers and background scenery after Issue 277. I still use it to create logos, doodles, and symbols, simply because there are no non-AI logo-creation programs (suggestions are welcome). Some previously used images have been kept for consistency (iconic buildings and “historic photographs”) with the intent of replacing them when possible. Any other appearance of AI means the stock art seller I purchased from misrepresented their product.

To analyze what we see and draw a proper conclusion, we must first follow four steps… Observation, Identity, Interpretation, Decision

It’s Iimi! For Fear of the Jews

After a “Spring Break” that sends them back to school the day after Easter, the girls encounter a deeply offended Gali, who had witnessed the Catholic Good Friday service. In the reading of the Passion and the prayers, she’s reminded of the historical antisemitism that arose from the line “…For Fear of the Jews…”

Pre-Comic Notes:
For readers reading this from the archives, The Triduum + Easter Sunday ran April 2 – 5, 2026, with school resuming on April 6th. Yes, the girls have to go straight from “Alleluia” to “Arggh, back in school” the next day.

While the comic takes place on April 6^th, it is really a Good Friday comic, as you will see.
