The next page should be a montage of Charmander fighting painfully-- yet optimistically-- through Kahn's entire lineup. As he prepares to do battle with his nemisis, the Squirtle, "You're the Best" should crescendo, and Charmander uses his favorite move that he learned offscreen, the Crane Kick.
This is a beautiful moment indeed. I half expected an old man in the distance winking in accolades to Charmander and Atticus for uniting under such pretenses. May god smile on our chain smoking protagonst.
Hmm, a BBC show. I'm intruiged, but this page has somehow inspired me to watch Top Gun instead. Maybe it's the similar name, maybe it's the shining beckon that pulls me from deep within Atticus's tear-filled eyes, or maybe it's the fact that Dragonthing didn't get into this page.
Whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll agree. It's time for Top Gun.
Judging from that page 35, bat boy is probably VERY IMPORTANT.
As is the multioptical foe that's probably about to pounce on our young maiden protagonist.
