So yea, it’s been a far more hectic Coffee Party production this year than usual, and once things settle down I hope to share some of the material with you. If you want to be in with a chance of winning a copy of this year’s Coffee Party manga be sure to take part in the Back Office competition (so far no-one has, so you’ve a good chance)
I want to resync production for the new year, by getting “Back Office: Date Night” finished before I begin drawing the next chapter of both comics which will be:
Back Office: Reverse & Rewind (Part 1)
Bata Neart: Witch School?
Since that Bata Neart chapter probably won’t appear until the New Year, I wanted to give you something fun in the weeks leading up the holidays, instead of just more hiatus.
So…what idea has Aoife been bugging me with? Tune in next week where she’ll tell you herself!
No one can resist Aoife. You were doomed from the start. ^^
It’s good to have you back for whatever value of “back” that is. 🙂
@Delta: Thank you 🙂
Yea, Aoife is hard to resist…especially when that nut-bar lives in my head!
Yay! I’ve been missing my Bata Neart fix! ^_^
I have to say, Rawr, that I’m impressed that you managed to hold out saying no to Aoife as long as you did. Does she even know what the word “no” means?
@Kessy: I’m sure she hears it quite a bit, but, judging by all the silly scrapes she gets into, she doesn’t say it much, herself. She’s probably a little fuzzy on the precise meaning. ^^
Aoife doesn’t know the meaning of “No”. Because she doesn’t speak Spanish. 😛
Great to see you back, Rawr. 🙂
Well, to be fair, considering that Aoife usually hears it in a context of, “No. No. No. Urg! Alright, fine,” I can’t really blame her for being confused about the exact meaning.
@Kessy: Heh, good point! ^^
@Kessy: Welcome back, and sorry for starving you of your fix 😀 Going to try and avoid long hiatus’ as much as possible.
Azreal: As far as I know Aoife has no grasp of Spanish.
Despite Ireland being a choice summer destination for Spanish teenagers to come and learn English (and subsequently not practice a single damn word of it…we’re not fans of Spanish Students in Ireland), Irish students themselves rarely ever learn Spanish. Spanish is an optional foreign language in the Ireland’s curriculum, but most schools staff teachers for teaching French (most popular choice) and German (a distant second popular choice usually).
Frankly Spanish would have made a lot more sense as the main choice. Many Irish travel to Spain for holidays or retirement (Spain is essentially our Florida), and Spanish has more of a global reach. Furthermore, we would also probably know how to tell those damned Spanish Students to stop screaming at each other on while travelling on Dublin buses (much like the Japanese, Irish people mostly like to commute in peace. Where-as Spanish teenagers like to travel while screaming their lungs out in what I *assumed* was conversation).
Anyway…that is a taste of what an Irish summer is usually like 😛
@Kessy: I get the impression that “No” to Aoife essentially means “Keep trying until they say ‘Yes'”
Irish summer? I’ve been to Yorkshire in August. I’m not entirely sure what to call that, but it is not summer. LOL It was actually a pretty bizarre experience for me. Of course I’m used to daily high temperatures in August in the neighborhood of 30 – 35C.
In US schools Spanish is generally the default foreign language taught, primarily because we have a large immigrant population from Latin America which is mostly Spanish speaking.
As for, “Keep trying until they say ‘yes,'” I think Ashling would heartily agree with that assessment. I imagine Ashling’s one of the few people who’s ever told Aoife “no” and really meant it.
