World's second-most-popular Hellsing-related comic.
Ingmar Bergman called a kiss “a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.” It’s a trick, all right; it just has far more uses than he probably had in mind.
Most of this storyline comes from an AIM conversation with the same Pip Bernadette who inspired the opening conversation here. Integra: It’s such a lovely, peaceful morning… [SLAM] Pip: Yo, boss! What’s up? Integra: Well, it was.
Integra: Captain Bernadette. Pip: ‘Sup? Integra: It’s a… …pleasure to see… …never mind. Pip: Aw, that’s harsh.
Pip: So, what’s on the agenda for today? Or do I actually get a day off? Integra: Today’s agenda features a little-known phenomenon called peace and quiet. Pip: Psh, pastime of those with no lives. Integra: And a rare pleasure for those of us who actually work.
A lot of readers hated the OVA-style glasses, so I had them, er, taken care of. Pip: Say, did you get new glasses? They look nice. Integra: No; these are an old pair.
