Love the drawings, as usual (I also thought they were remarkably similar, those two! And I like those slightly bulky forearms - they're cute!), nice new take on Hermione, love the cell phone woman story (especially the coda: isn't it nice how shared pain forges unexpected aliances among strangers?) :), and I also thought that was a very cool momentwith the fly (I couldn't have staged something much more inspiring than that, for your benefit, if I had tried!), and, no, I don't think Mark was kidding at all.
