Once again we are participating in a Valentine’s exchange, this time organized by Melaredblu at ComicChat.

And we got this wonderful gift from none other than Charlie Wise, the mastermind behind Groovy, Kinda. We simply love it and even shed little tears of happiness when we saw it for the first time.

You might be too young to remember the lyrics, but fear not dear readers, here they are for your full enjoyment of this page!

Thanks to Charlie for the wonderful gift and to Mela for organizing this.

Our Valentine joy does not end here, as we also sent a little something as a present for this very, uhm, whimsical comic: Spirits at Tea Time. Be sure to visit this spooky story and give it some love.

Séreméla, Kanela and Rulo wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day.

Hugs!

Some questions will be answered next page, dear readers.

In case you don’t keep up with the author’s comments of this comic (how could you!?), let us re-introduce the nice fellow on the screen.

Meet Simon. Until recently, he has been a supporting cast member of the comic Groovy, Kinda. The M9 Girls met Simon and the rest of the Groovy, Kinda cast in this epic cross-over:

Yes, the cross-over is canon in both comics!

Well, it looks like Simon got a crush on Pato since that day, even though she was being her usual sourly self. So, after some attempts at trying to find out about Pato’s whereabouts, Simon made a stunning decision: to strand himself in the M9 Girls Universe! This momentous decision was first published in the Groovy, Kinda pages, created in collaboration by the authors and artists of both comics:

So, this is how Simon ended up in Any’s screen. Well, Rulo and Séreméla are happy to welcome Simon to the regular cast of M9 Girls.

We want to give a hi-5 to Charlie Wise, the criminal mind behind Groovy, Kinda, for making this possible and for creating Simon. We must say we are very proud about this, as this kind of permanent crossing-over has never been attempted in comic-dom, as far as we know!

So, welcome, Simon, to the M9 Girls universe, and don’t worry: we are sure Pato will be mollified by next page.

We feel honored to have this farewell strip by none other than the creator of Groovy, Kinda. And nothing could be more fittings as we have a shared multiverse with this comic, with Simon deciding to act as Charlie to the M9 angels, pun fully intended.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful page, Charlie! It means a lot for us.

And things seem to be going better than expected for Simon… So far.

Welcome to the new chapter.

You may notice something familiar about the name of the bar Simon picked for his date. We are getting a little meta here, considering Simon comes from the Groovy Kinda universe, though in his mind he just comes from an American Elsewhere.

In my mind, Simon speaks with a soft American accent, what do you think dear readers?

Thanks to Charlie for letting us borrow the storefront for the Groovy bar, we think it gave this page a distinct personality. Remember, you can read Groovy Kinda to know more about Simon’s background.
