Prestidigitation

For M.D.! He gave us a generous donation a few months ago, which was a great help — and this is a thank-you sketch for him:

The request was a fight between Kiku and Freddy Krueger (because the world isn’t big enough for two people with knife-gloves). He left it up to me whether the “fight” would be a battle or an argument, so I went with… something in between. I hope it’s adequately dramatic, nonetheless!

…I think Kiku is about to pop his own water balloons from shock. Maybe he shouldn’t dual-wield.

Once again, someone asked a question on Formspring that I can’t not draw. XD

XD

P.S. This cartoony style is surprisingly easy! I should totally draw the entire comic this way from now on.
