/ Kimono: He's not weird. He's just...
/ Minty: Boring?
/ Kimono: Yeah. / Minty: So if this pillow has your initials, does this mean he knows your middle name?
/ Kimono: Maybe... / Minty: Suddenly, Mr. Boring is a lot more interesting. http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-02-11 |

/ Fluttershy: Ugh... I cannot wait for the weekend.
/ Kimono: Neither can I.
/ Fluttershy: What do you think you'll do? Go out with Breezie?
/ Kimono: I don't know... we haven't gone out lately. / Fluttershy: Really? How long has it been since you saw him?
/ Kimono: Over a week. He's always so busy with med school. And when he's not in school, he's talking about school. / Kimono: I wouldn't mind that, but I try to have a regular conversation, and he wants to talk about diseases. But he's so sweet... I feel like such a bad girlfriend, avoiding him. / Fluttershy: That does sound a little dull.
/ Kimono: Seriously. Have you ever had someone follow up a kiss by taking your blood pressure? http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-03-11 |
| Kimono's Townhouse #155 | [[Minty is at work in her cubicle at Pinkhost, an Internet service provider. Her space is decorated with a Yoda statue, a monkey doll, and many posters with jokes about bandwidth, binary, and Lord of the Rings humor. She is taking a call from a customer.]]
/ Minty: Pinkhost technical support. How may I help you?
/ Customer: Um... yeah. My little brother downloaded some program, but it was a Trojan, and now my computer is a zombie. / [[Minty perks up at the word "zombie."]]
/ Minty: Ooh! Did you know there are zombies on motorcycles now?!
/ Customer: What? / Minty: Yeah, in Resident Evil 5! It's not as dorky as it sounds. They're not, like, bikers in leather and chains. They're tough, but not as bad as those zombies with the chainsaws. Best way to get rid of a zombie is a few shots to the head. / Customer: You want me to shoot my computer?!
/ Minty: Hmm? Oh. No. You'll have to wipe the system and reinstall everything. / Minty: And give your little brother a noogie for downloading stuff. / {{bot nets, virus}} http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-03-18 |
| Kimono's Townhouse #156 | [[Minty is in the kitchen looking at a box of pizza on the table]] / Minty: Nothing tops off five hours of writing stylesheets like a slice of pizza! I love the smell of pizza in the morning! / [[Minty sniffs the Air, smelling a bad scent]]

| Kimono's Townhouse #158 | [[Two ponies are standing in a crude shop in what appears to be the Middle Ages. The shop has a table with books and scrolls, and a section of the Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Battle of Hastings, is on the wall. A sign hangs overhead that reads, "Ye Olde Epic Shoppe." The ponies are dressed in capes, and one has a large hat and gaudy pendant.]]
/ Medieval Pony 1: Fie! The English version of Beowulf is a derivative piece of rubbish! Why don't they create their own stories, instead of just ripping off the Norse? / Medieval Pony 2: You moron! You wouldn't know good literature if it bit you! How can you deny the awesomeness of the underwater battle scene? And that dragon was way cooler than it was in the original! / Medieval Pony 1: Fool! Nobody will be reading the English version a century from now! The original is a classic, and it will live on forever. / [[The scene shifts to the modern day, with Minty and Sparkleworks standing by the back issues at a comic shop.]]
/ Minty: And that's what fanboys were like in the Middle Ages.
/ Sparkleworks: I wonder what medieval cosplayers wore... / {{hollywood remakes, geeks, fans, British literature, Anglo-Saxons, Grendel}} http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-04-08 |

/ Kimono: You know, we have a month until graduation. I still have no idea what I'm going to do.
/ Fluttershy: Neither do I! / Fluttershy: I mean, what am I going to do with a photography degree? Wedding portraits? I don't want to spend my days working with Bridezillas! / Kimono: I've just... I have never been out of school.
/ Fluttershy: Hey... are you thinking what I'm thinking? / Kimono and Fluttershy: Grad school! http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-04-15 |

/ Kimono (defensively): She's not stupid. / Breezie: No! I didn't mean that! I just thought she is a little... ah... flighty.
/ Kimono (angrily): She's not flighty. She's different. Why would you think something like that about one of my friends? ... I think you should go. / [[Awkward silence]] / Breezie: Can I finish my noodles? http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-04-29 |

/ Minty: She broke up with Breezie.
/ Fluttershy: Really! What happened? / [[Flashback to Kimono and Breezie in Kimono's bedroom.]]
/ Minty (off screen):We all went out Friday for my birthday. They were fighting about something.
/ Breezie: Can't you at least admit she doesn't act very smart?
/ Minty (off screen): She wouldn't tell me what it was about. / Minty (off screen): So she told him that she didn't think they had much in common, and that it weirded her out that he looks like her dad.
/ Fluttershy (off screen): She said it weirded her out?
/ Minty (off screen): Well, no, but you're getting my version of the story. / [[Kimono stands alone in her room, head down.]]
/ Minty (off screen): she told him to leave, and then he was gone.
/ Fluttershy (off screen): Is she okay? / [[Back to Fluttershy and Minty at the front door.]]

/ Superman: Welcome back to the show! This week, we're frying shrimp with my friend, Hawkman. / Superman: Hawkman is a courageous warrior and a really great guy. / [[Camera goes into a closeup of Superman.]]
/ Superman: Well, except for those little, downy feathers that stick to your clothes and get in your food. You can't even vacuum those. / [[View pans out to show both hosts]]
/ Hawkman: Thanks, Supes! You know, everyone says you're a jerk, but you're actually a pretty nice g-- / [[Hawkman looks down at his feet, only to see he is standing on newspaper.]] / Hawkman: Dude... you laid out newspaper?! / [[View switches to Minty and Kimono watching "Cooking with Superman" on television.]]

/ Minty: Oh! Um... I had oatmeal for breakfast. / [[Close-up of Minty, Kimono and the mess. A can of oats is on the table, a bunch of bananas abandoned next to the sink.]]
/ Minty: The oatmeal came out too watery, so I added some granola to thicken it up. But that made it way too crunchy, so I put in some bananas to get the texture right. / [[Kimono and Minty look at the sink.]]
/ Minty: It tasted too plain, so I put in some chocolate syrup. I added too much, so I tried to add peanut butter, but we didn't have any. I found some Reese's Pieces and put those in. / [[Minty looks back at Kimono.]]
/ Minty: By that point, it kinda looked like it wanted to have me for breakfast, so I threw it out.
/ Kimono: Ah. Well, that would explain the clog in the sink. http://kimonostownhouse.com/comic/index.php?date=2009-07-08 |

/ Minty: Driving to every bakery in town. / Minty: I was trying to find a lemon dew cake, but every place had only cherry and apple! A few even had praline, but not one in lemon. / Minty: How can no one have lemon?! Is lemon suddenly unpopular? Is there some sort of lemon famine I don't know about? I bet someone is hoarding them. I can just see it... a cave filled with pastries, guarded by a dew cake dragon. / Minty: Either that, or it's aliens, beaming all the cakes into their spaceship. All the cakes except cherry and apple... / Sunny: Because aliens don't like cherry or apple?
