What's New
January 18, 1999
This week's possible swipe was sent to us by Raijin Z <raijinz@hotmail.com>. Raijin was reading some No Need For Tenchi issues when he noticed something familiar about a page in book two drawn by Hitoshi Okuda. One page 11 of No Need For Tenchi Part Two issue #1 Sasami is seen yelling at Washu, getting slapped by her, and then being held by Mihoshi. Raijin tracked down the possible inspiration for the Okuda page in an issue of Gunsmith Cats: The Return of Gray drawn by Kenichi Sonada. On page 15 of issue #2 May is seen yelling at Rally, getting slapped by her, and then being held by Becky. We compared the two and found enough similarities to put it to you for a vote. As always you are the final judge. Don't forget to post what you think at the Swipe of the Week Message Board as well.
