Yeah, Maya gets a lot more face time in this chapter.

Tim makes a fair point, why do we suddenly understand her? Or did we all eat Babel Fish and Chips last night?

I've re-lettered all the earlier pages and now you can see her dialogue below the panel. Not sure if I've uploaded those yet, though -- will get on it!

I like the shoe panel too.
What? is he too thirsty and tire to hang out with a pretty girl? Awwww.
I almost wish WE didn't know what she was saying like him. IT would be maddening but?...

I think both characters are a little oblivious on this page.
It was my original idea to have Justin not understand what she was saying, but enough people convinced me it would give Maya's character more depth if you knew what she was saying. Even though I had a fondness for really putting the reader in his shoes, I could see their point.
You can't please everyone...

Nice work. I will weigh in on the whole spanish translation thing and say that, no, we shouldn't get english subtitles because he doesn't get them either. And unless I'm mistaken, there's no big plot points being revealed in them, so I would just as soon leave them out.

Thanks for your opinion, George, it is certainly worth considering.
Without spoiling anything, there are things I need to establish here that build to something later. I will also say that since many of you haven't read the older pages I've changed, this seems to come out of the blue. Reading it from start to finish, the continuity shift is not as dramatic.

Mi punto exactamente: no quiero dos tipos de lectores. Pero, me gusta que siente especial:)

Going a bit against the grain, I rather like the subtitles- for a very selfish reason as it helps me improve my Spanish Comprehension, which I normally do with Air Travel Magazines.
Maya's expressive movements are a delight btw.
