Comics.org post at Yahoo

[seeker]

If anyone hasn't looked, there is a request from comics.org to identify everyone on the cover of Akiko 50.

Didn't we do that, or didn't Mark post one of those cutouts identifying everyone? I can get most of them, but some of them may not have names as such - like do the Tooglians on the top right have names? Maybe only Mark knows, and maybe even he doesn't.

Or maybe comics.org wants appearances, like "Two Tooglians - appeared in Akiko #25"

Thoughts?

The biggie for me was the publishing misprint date - it says April 2002, and so at comics.org it looks like #50 was published before #48 or #49....

Hey Dan,

Thanks for posting about this request. Those Toogolians do indeed remain nameless. Let every reader come up with his or her own choices!

I personally think the most marginal character on the cover is one of the wealthy 'Sky Cove' guys (on the lefthand side in the middle) who "bought" Akiko and the gang early in the first story arc. Not only nameless, but only seen in two panels before vanishing forever! Meanwhile Akiko's best friend Melissa didn't even make the cut: Talk about an ungrateful creator!

Thanks also, Dan, for posting those scans of my illustrations in the other thread. I'd almost forgotten what a couple of those looked like!
