Olga is resilient as ever! Now Claire has to make a choice… should she believe Sister Cat, and take the bait? Or follow Olga’s advice?
Sister Claire
Pregnant nun. Holy Crap.

Needs more lensflare.Spectacular page as usual and the suspense is building.Also first comment,so everyone below should fear my ninja posting skills.
Hmmm….is that fresh plot I smell?
How did Sister Catherine change her shoes mid-battle?
oh geez. XD This is the part where the hero/oine usually makes the decision NOT to shoot the bad guy and it all goes to hell
OMG, this is getting good. Snowy only made a brief cameo here. . . *pouts*
to shoot or not to shoot… now that is the question
Sister Olga (?) can’t tell a gun from a watergun?
Remember Claire, it’s just a watergun, what harm could it do to Sister Cathrine?
It’s a -holy- watergun. There’s big difference.
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! I wanna know what happens when that thing gets fired!
Jeez. It could be that I check updates for other webcomics more frequently, but I know the entire webcomic industry could take a hint from you. You move to a different country, have a good freind die, and you’re still keeping mostly up to schedule, while keeping quality at a standard. (if not increasing in quality.)
Nice work on all this!
You said it yourself! It’s bait! I hope she doesn’t take it.. but then again, the story might be more interesting if she did
If this is a catholic convent, then why is there a menorah on one of the tables behind Sister Olga in the last panel?
I love that Olga says “Thank God”…
WOO! GO OLGA.
woop woop olga!!
i wana know what cat has to say!
Holy water gun! (With detachable kitty power). Shoot for the love of God!
Not to cramp your style, but what’d be cool is if there was a CAD like style thing where they go on and you let the readers vote on which path she should take. Just saying it’d be neat
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
haha, decisions decisions
I just not noticed that Cathrine’s shoe style changed drastically on page 63.
I may be echoing Chaszmyr in this, but how did that happen?
Methinks Yamino wasn’t paying attention when she drew the shoes,though the new ones look bitchin’
.
Don’t be an idiot, Claire! If the cat-nun isn’t evil, holy water won’t hurt her anyway! SHOOT!
hey, awesome comic,
but wait!
i can not see this page!
horror!
i was wondering if it was a problem or something or my computer but i thought i would tell you and maybe fix it cause i love this comic.
or maybe post it on DA (i is on there too)
or do nothing
whatev
keep on truckin’
This reminds me of Star Wars: Episode III, in the fight between Mace Windu and Darth Sidious.
ncie page but this is a situation where i say shoot first ask questrions later
This is the first post I’m making and probably the last. I feel bad for making it, but I want to check the constant flood of fanboyish posts that you receive daily. The stupidity of today’s page has finally stirred me to make a post and decide to stop reading this comic.
Right, so first, I thought that Olga was employing sarcasm in panel 3, only to be apparently contradicted in the last panel. But, Yamino, it would have made much more sense if you left Olga’s comment at sarcasm! It is highly unbelievable that someone like Olga’s character would take something like the very goofy looking H2O gun seriously.
Second, are we supposed to believe Claire can STILL be concerned for Catherine’s health!? Notwithstanding the fact that Cat doesn’t even look like her normal self, the fact that she’s sprouting claws instead of fingernails, canines instead of teeth and a nasty sneer instead of her regular expression? Despite the fact that Olga is sporting cliche anime style slashes across her face? I know you set out to make Claire a boneheaded, clueless character but now I think you’re just insulting what little intelligence we, the readers, expected she had.
I’m also getting a bit irritated that Claire (or indeed, any of your characters) has still failed to show that she has any more facial expressions in her repertoire than Keanu Reeves.
Sorry Yamino, I don’t take pleasure in writing this post against you and don’t take it personally :’( I guess I shouldn’t do it when I know you make this comic for us for free. I know I should probably not open my mouth (or type up a post) when I probably couldn’t do better. I also think your art is fantastic. But your writing needs a little more work.
By the way, you’re probably just going to point out that Claire is just too sweet and kind and that’s how she’s a worthy protagonist who is distinguished from the others. I say that this is not the time or the place for Claire to act so immaturely and stupidly. She should press the trigger – or doesn’t the safety of the other nuns, who have been beaten to a pulp indirectly due to her own fault, even matter?
You may point out that Claire is currently immature and undeveloped and this event will go towards developing her into a more fully realised character. But hasn’t 65 pages been time enough to sever her umbilical cord with Gabriel? Yet it’s her gun she’s using right now. (In fact, I get a sinking feeling when I think about the ultimate goal of your story as it apparently stands – to put Claire in a position to produce a saviour. She won’t be the saviour herself though. I think that’s sad. I’m hoping you won’t go the cliche route with that and surprise everyone!)
Or you may show that my construction of Claire’s character is wrong in the next page. In which case I’ll feel a bit silly. ><"
finally an update hgeheh
This is always a good guys mistake won’t shoot!
don’t have the killer instinct to shoot.. heheh
@ Naomi
I’d like to thank you for your long and thoughtful comment, it’s probably the longest anyone has ever left, and I can tell you’ve really been following the story closely.
I suppose it would be easiest to reply to your objections point by point.
First of all, this comic is pretty silly. I mean, it starts out with a magical blue lady coming out of a toilet. You can expect the conventions of reality to be bent quite a bit. It’s true that in trying to inject a bit of drama, I’ve struggled with balancing it with the lighthearted nature I intended it to have. But overall, trying to take anything in here literally is a little ridiculous… I mean, the story IS ridiculous.
1. Olga just got the crap beat out of her and isn’t seeing well with both eyes. For all she knows, Claire is holding some kind of weapon, and right now, they need all the firepower they can get.
2. Of course Claire is concerned for Catharine’s health. She knows Catharine has been possessed… but that’s still her best friend’s body. She hopes that Catharine can still be brought back, and doesn’t want to see her hurt.
3. As far as expressions are concerned, you’re totally right, and it’s something I’ve been keeping in mind. Part of the problem is that my last several pages (in fact, for the last 2-3 months) I have had a lot of other very important things taking up my time and energies, which left me working on these pages until early morning hours, and so the creative input suffered. I think you’ll find that the characters will get a lot more expressive soon.
4. Even though a lot of emphasis is going to be put on Claire’s baby, the title of the comic says it all. This story is about Claire, and it’s her journey and development that the plot will explore. She IS naive and gullible, and depends on a mentor figure… first Catharine (who she is now terrified of losing) and then Gabrielle. She has lived cut off from the real world, and has never learned to fend for herself. On top of that, she has abandonment issues due to being left at the abbey as a child. She has a lot of hurdles to overcome before she becomes a stronger person, but if you give her a chance I think you will find that you’ll like the outcome.
I don’t know what you mean by the “cliche route” and surprising everyone… do you mean you don’t want Claire to be a savior, or you don’t want her baby to be?
Also, you seem to be missing the greatest irony of all… this whole story is built on cliches and archetypes. It’s a parody, and I am well aware of this.
Again, thanks for your long comments, I appreciate an honest critique. I hope I gave you the answers you were looking for.
Firearms? In a *CONVENT??!* Makes me very glad I took that sage bit of advice from Curtis in “The Blues Brothers”: “Boys, you got to learn not to talk to nuns that way.” Probably saved from a smackdown on more than one occasion.
I’m SO stupid I didn’t notice that earlier, and it finally cross my head(?) when I saw the sketches of Evil Catharine. But, there is a BIG reference to Nao, isn’t it ? No? Please tell me I’m not over-obsessed by this universe ( if I can say ) that I can’t stop me to see it everywhere…
By the way I hope I could, someday, have the money to afford the travel for my own personnal sketch <3
Kao, I'm maybe crazy, but not dangerous at all
You’re absolutely right, Sister Cat is one big homage to Nao. (Remember when Nao became a nun in the last episode?) I made a doujinshi about Nao and Miyu as crimefighting nuns, and that was basically what spawned the original Sister Claire story. It’s changed quite a bit since then, obviously, but I kept some key elements and characters.
well f me i was rite somtimes it sucks being perceptive
