Iimi and her study group learn about what “2200 hours for fluency” really means. Meanwhile, Vicki is skeptical when Iimi’s discoveries (Issues 253-257) go against her classes. Such are… The Pitfalls of Academia.

Notes:
I’m told that the Chinese in the
propaganda poster (page 9) translates as:
“Harbor hatred in your heart”
“Never waste a bullet”
“Master shooting… the most essential skill in battle”
“Conduct shooting training well”

The Chapter 2 title page is of unknown origin. It dates back to the
1950s-1960s.

AI
Disclaimer
I used AI to generate covers and background scenery for
Issues 184-277. I still use it to create logos, doodles, and symbols, simply
because there are no non-AI logo-creation programs (suggestions are welcome). I
kept some previously used images 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.
Notes on Cantonese language usage: Properly used, Jyutping (a way to write Cantonese with Roman letters) has numbers after each syllable showing the proper tone in Cantonese. However, because an all-caps comic font can make it hard to read (“Is that a 6 or a G?”), I have removed the tone numbers from dialogue except for footnotes and when tones are immediately relevant to the story.
