 :Thanks. I did not see this until others (involed in the making of the comic) wrote to me on my [[User_talk:Kynde#Justification_for_2023_April_Fools.27_comics|talk page]].

	::::Thanks for replying! I want to start moving everything to a new non-category page (like for character appearances and description, as you said), but we should probably change the links to these pages? Someone would need to go though 50 comic pages and determine if the link should go to the category or to the description. Or maybe we shouldn't, after all there'll be a prominent link at the top of the category. Idk but there definitely are other things i need to do other than this. --[[User:FaviFake\|FaviFake]] ([[User talk:FaviFake\|talk]]) 14:35, 25 April 2025 (UTC)		::::Thanks for replying!
