Poor Red can't catch a break.

Hey, Nicole and I still need help transcribing comics. All you have to do is pick one of the pages from #320 onward, write down what is said and done in each panel, and email it to me: unununium/at/aircanopy.net .

It makes things easy for me if you use the format found here: http://andy.junkdrome.org/growth/data/022.txt . But if you don't want to, that's fine, I can fix it up for you.

Cause that's what is going to happen at this rate. The monsters in the caves will kill them or they'll turn into monsters from the mako. Learning to get along with the humans is their only shot.

I HAVE TERRIBLE NEWS......
MY PET HAMSTER IS DYING AS WE SPEAK. IT COULD BE ANYTHING (EVAN CANCER)
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ODD THAT GOD HAS MADE LIFE UNFAIR FOR SOME PEOPLE?

posted by FFVIIACFANGIRL (Guest) on 29th Dec 2008

Death is simply a part of life, and it is certainly not the end of the world. Everyone and everything dies someday, no exceptions. That's what "fair" means. Fairness almost never means having things go the way you want them to. For your hamster to miraculously survive would be "unfair" to all those who were cut down in their prime by cancer. I'm sorry about your hamster, but know that its life is in God's utterly capable hands even though you don't understand His reasons. Cheer up, remember what is good in life, and be happy that your hamster has fulfilled its purpose, even if you don't quite know what its purpose was.

Happy New Year!

Hey, a bit of news: The Growth search engine may soon be unavailable. I don't know when (or if) it will go away, and I don't know when I can get it back online.

Once again, I love your expressive kitteh expressions.

To hamster owner girl: You have my sincere sympathies, losing a pet is never easy.

*Two days after finding pg. one...*

I LOVE where you've gone with this concept! The balance between Red, Yuffie and Vincent's hardships, past demons and resolutions to better their lives is always even and all the more intense with each update. I, for one, love all the 'getting closer' bits between Vince and Yuffers against the backdrop of Nanaki dealing with the thought of leading the Gi to a better life all while the threat that is Borah remains ever-present. :)

(Belated congrats for the pregnancy, and perhaps I can learn a few tips from your stellar comic format! ;D)

So what's up with this? I understand that Enkida is busy, and I have no problem with that. It would just be nice to have a little update about what is going on, you know?

The Growth search engine is back online!

posted by andygoth on 25th Jan 2009

I started reading this comic a few days ago, and I haven't been able to stop reading it XD
I hope you update this again soon ^-^

posted by Cyn (Guest) on 26th Jan 2009

Love the comic! And really hope to see updates again soon. I'm dying to find out what happens! It's so well done it doesn't even feel like fan fiction it feels like an official continuation of the story :D

posted by S San (Guest) on 27th Jan 2009

I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I've been reading this comic for a long time and waiting for more pages, but update when you are ready to. No need to hurry, so take your time.

posted by jellicle (Guest) on 27th Jan 2009

Yo! Great comic! I found this just awhile ago, and I'm already in the latest page! I really enjoyed reading this,and you can clearly see how your style evolves in the comic. I wish was also as good as you in drawing. Hehe I hope you update soon. ^-^

I'm so very very sorry about what happened.

Enkida,
I just want to add my sympathies to those already expressed. Even without having experienced such a thing, we all can imagine how rough this time is for you. Please know that we are all thinking of you and will be checking back not only for updates of this unique story but much more for news of you. You have a great gift for storytelling and storyshowing, but most important is your own health, and we all wish you healing in all things.

Sorry about waht happened. I can't fathom what you must be going through... I do like your comic a lot... and hope to read more in the future! =D

posted by Newfan (Guest) on 12th Feb 2009

My sympathies, we knew you really wanted this baby and when you said for the first time that there may be slows we were prepared for the possiblity of any update would be a while if ever.

WHen you're ready then you are ready I don't think any of us would want to push you to start sooner than you feel ready. :3 but thanks all the same for the comic and fanfiction that you have done thus far.

posted by Kitty Silver on 13th Feb 2009

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I will try to get a new page out in the (near) future. I was given a little 4-month old Schipperke puppy to take care of and it has helped break me out of my funk, somewhat. She keeps me very busy too! All in all, since starting this comic three people I have been close to have died, if you count the baby as a person, which I do. Dear Murphy: I could do with a hiatus on the deaths right about now, thanks. On a more positive note, I think I am getting better, which means I might start working on the comic again regularly. So thank you to everyone for your best wishes.
