Cat Comixz 139

And the day is saved, thanks to... well, partially Leon messing up, and partially Atelia doing most of the actual work. Oh, and don't worry, Susie is going to live. But after a couple very painful hits to the noggin, she's not going to be feeling very good when she wakes up.

The buildings in the Cat Comixz world are built in such a way that, when someone removes a fire extinguisher, the sprinklers in that area will go off. The thinking is basically that not everyone knows how to use a fire extinguisher, and if there's a fire, you'd want to do something to take care of it. Don't worry though, in places that might have chemical fires or types of fires made worse by water, the system isn't automatic there.

I have to assume that Leon also got water in his eyes in panel 9. Leon, Atelia was right in front of you. I'm pretty sure he broke Dollenson's window on purpose. Likewise, Susie is just getting the water out of one of her eyes in panel 12, so she can't quite react in time to Atelia throwing the backpack right at her face.

This comic was fun for me. For one, it's technically the longest comic so far in terms of number of individual panels (at 14 total), surpassing the previous record held by Comic 26, which, coincidentally, is where Atelia was introduced. Hmm, interesting.
