Oh hot damn.  Looking forward to this.

Especially looking forward to the return of HSefra as the artist. I'm sad to say that I don't always look to see who the artist is, which is a shame since they are responsible for bringing these lovely stories to life. This series, more than others, has had notable artist changes. It started with Aries Montes who did very well, the brush passed to C. Belli for #9, and then to HSefra, the second longest to hold the brush and by far my favorite. Rafinha picked up the brush for #17 and #18 and while they did a fine job with static scenes, sex scenes were not their forte. I understand some liked it, I just wasn't one of them.

All this to say that I'm excited to see HSefra take up the brush again. Moving forward, I'll try to do a better job of looking to see who is drawing so I can give them proper credit. No matter the artist or my opinion of their work, they took the time to craft these lovely visuals and for that, I am deeply thankful.

Glad to see HSefra back, but I'll look forward to more of Rafinha's work on other series on the site, as I did like the last 2 issues.

I am hoping Professor Fournier's original design returns as well

Have you the wing?

I am hoping Professor Fournier's original design returns as well

I'm happy to report that her original design has indeed made a glorious return. A small cameo in the grand scheme of the issue, but a glorious return nonetheless.

My only gripe is that it's just too short. Otherwise, it is a lovely issue with fantastic visuals by HSefra. I look forward to more and I hope it will be with HSefra as the artist but I know just how crazy life can get.

[Astropirate]

Excellent.

[Vidor]

Good issue.  I'm looking forward to either Mom or the sister finding out about the other.  Hopefully both of them will.

Great first issue back for HSefra!

(Just wondered on maybe some clarification from Daphne too.  Are C. Belli and HSefra the same artist? I noticed that the Bonus Issue #1 credits C on the page, and then H in the actual art, and their styles look indistinguishable to me.)

I do appreciate Daphne and HSefra giving us a flashback to Jeremy playing with this version of Prof Fournier from last issue. She's looking mindlessly wonderful there.  I didn't think she was quite that busty when she had her top on back in 15.  Enough to be noticeably larger than the already-busty existing cast, but it's pretty next level here.  But Rafinha's version was also very over-the-top-heavy, so maybe we're just getting the best of both worlds here.  

I'm glad to see the glowing purple eye effect return to great effect here, especially behind Tiffany's sunglasses.

Some fun plot developments here, with Jeremy now having a name and address.

Tiffany is looking great in both current and flashback form. Love those sunglasses on her.

Wendy is definitely taking well to the roll of nymphomaniac sidekick.

It will be interesting to see how date night goes.

Well done all!

Are C. Belli and HSefra the same artist?

Yes, they are.

[crazydorian]

Thought so. Thanks Daphne!

Well this made my week.  This remains my favorite title.
