    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3695

    To be frank, this is the practical application of what Sanae-san was saying yesterday. Doing this naturally means I can't use stuff like the scoring function, but I never score these anyway, so that's no problem!

    The only reader-added tag so far is "I see, I don't get it". Also, despite the memetic nature of the "I have a good idea" line, without any visual connection to TFs, I'm not sure it merits the Transformers tag by itself.

    Look very carefully at the first panel. There's a very faint outline of Prime's face.

    Uh, there's a very faint Optimus in panel 1. I wouldn't have tagged it that way otherwise. Kogasa is channeling him.

    So there is. Somehow, I didn't see it on my monitor earlier. Well, then.

    Check your contrast settings. It's subtle, but it jumps out once you realize it's not random.

    That doesn't appear to be problem. Now that it's been pointed out to me, I can't unsee it, as it were. I think I was just focused more on the dialog in that panel and I didn't look directly at the background, so the faint Optimus didn't register peripherally.

    I guess I'm too attuned to giant robots. The shadows there didn't look at all random, and it became really obvious after a moment.
