Theri There page from 2005-09-05.

Image description:
One student is giving directions to another. The student with phantom wings says, “…And it’s down the hall, that way,” and points to the right with a wing. The other student doesn’t notice, and says, “?! Which way?”
The winged student thinks, “Oh, that’s right. Can’t see my wings. Duh.”
Then the winged student points with a thumb instead, and says, “That way.” The other student leaves, saying, “Thanks!”

Notes: A certain phoenix (who wishes to remain anonymous) suggested a strip where someone absent-mindedly uses a phantom limb to gesture, which xe has done a few times. Thank you!

Made me smile. Very good, I love your art style! You have clean lines, and very descriptive styles.

X3 Yes! I do the same thing with my ears and tail, and people get confused/mad at me because I don't use hand gestures X3 Well done!!

A lot of my body language is contained in my wings and ears so I can certainly relate to this. ^-^' Usually it's fine but it often feels like it often takes away from my usual animacy and makes it harder to properly express things than it would be otherwise.
This is great, I love your style and it's really nice to fine a comic about/targeted towards 'kin :D
