/ Kimono: Today, I would like to discuss one of my very favorite things – chocolate. / Kimono: Chocolate is a wonderful mixture of compounds. Its theobromine and caffeine stimulate while its flavonoids heal the body. / Kimono: It also causes the release of serotonin and dopamine, which can cause a sense of euphoric happiness.

That's why it's not displaying. / Kimono: Who are you, and what have you done with Minty? / {{semantic HTML, standards, CSS}} http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2006-05-17 |

/ Kimono: Right. / [[Kimono slowly begins to open the door under the stairs.]]
/ Kimono: Now, let's just see what she's got in here... / [[Door opens completely to reveal small duck (Spackles). Kimono leaps back in surprise.]]

| Kimono's Townhouse #20 | [[Kimono and Minty are at the kitchen table. Kimono has a calculator and is looking over bills.]]
/ Kimono: Cripes! Have you seen our electricity bill? Why is it so high?! / Minty: Well, the price of electricity is determined by market demand. As demand goes up, so does the price. / Kimono: Hmm... I thought it had more to do with that huge, light-up Princess Leia statue you have upstairs. / Minty: Galadriel! It's a light-up statue of Galadriel. How could you confuse a princess of the Noldor with Leia?! / {{Lord of the Rings, Star Wars}} http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2006-07-26 |
