Was practicing Lena as well while working on the comic. Scenes either from the story, or just various activities (and we also get to see her showing a bit more skin- err... fur.)

Oh, I was referring to the guy on YouTube who shows how strange the English language is and why this is so. His channel is RobWords. You should check it out. It's quite educational.

I consider myself well-versed in English but I've learned quite a bit from watching his videos. (And I've still got quite a few to find and watch.) My most recently watched video was about the "Great Vowel Shift". I had heard of it but I didn't know what it was until I watched that video.
