A storytime for the 1999-2002 webcomic Flying Suit Reiko. This is the second thread, Issues 1-8 were done yesterday here >>154942625Be sure to reply with quips or comments to keep the thread bumped and keep me sane
Issue 9 - Futurmama
I had originally intended to do up until Issue 12 on the first thread, but it archived overnight, I woke up about 20 minutes too late to bump it. Kind of surprising given how active the thread was. Hopefully that activity doesn't die with the first thread.If you just got here go back and read that first, it's about 180 pages, otherwise welcome
>>154951910My bad man
>>154951985There's still enough image spots to finish the comic, but I might not have enough to show all the bonus art, and it makes it harder for people to read the first 8 issues and they can't comment on it anymore. Guess I should have woken up earlier
>>154951910Apologies.
>>154952050It's fine>>154951891>>154951895Don't skip the earlier stuff or you'll be lost, but do note if you're just getting here Issue 1 and 2 look really rough and are redraws of stuff dating back to 1997. The quality picks up very quickly after that and there's some really good material in there (Potchari Sweat and Triumph of the Wool are two of my favs)
We do see a kid of hers when she comes back in GPCB, but it's not with Mentos. In fact I don't know if they ever confirm who the dad is
Issue 10 - Jigoku Sensei Michael Jackson
That last page is one of the two missing ones that was found on a CD-R
>>154951942>>154951932>Chibi-Usa parodyInteresting
I've heard that thing at the end of the prior page is from an even older comic called Swamp Oppossum from like, 1996? There's no record of it and I can't even find a wayback archive of the site(though I don't know what the site name was so maybe someone can brute force it).
>>154951891Be back when I caught up
Issue 11 - Valley of the Idols
That's enough for now, I just wanted to get started. I'll resume in about oh 75 minutes? Should give everyone time to catch up and get ready. We're a bit slower than yesterday unfortunately and obviously losing the first thread stung
My plan is roughly as follows>Reiko finishes today>I’ll knock out the shorter old ones over the next week. That one bonus comic from 2002 on Sunday, Dystopia on Monday, and the original Muertitos on Thursday. I need to catch up and get them out of the way.>Friday seems like the best and most active time so after that it’s weekly for the big 3. The main Muertitos next Friday, Creamy Beamy the Friday after that, IntraGalactic the Friday after thatDon’t let the thread die on me until I come back here
>>154951910>Lolita II>She's back...>and this time she's LEGAL!I see even in old timey webcomics the movie industry miss the point of the appeal of the source material.
Issue 12 - The Death and Return and Death and Return of Shige
One of these days I'm hoping one of these can reach the threshold of 100+ comments (probably 400 posts if it's a first thread since 300 is the image limit). We were on track for it last night had the thread not archived. Maybe next Friday's big one will get there
>>154953561>sex>Reiko sits right down The pacing is so right
>>154953585>background showing Shige digging his own grave with his words>He strikes oil when Potchari is into itLmao
I like Shige. He’s a lot chiller and more open compared to, say, Cheesecake
Issue 13 - Chocolate Bundam
>>154953791>Gold and Silver had only been out for like two months It’s weird knowing how current that was
Issue 13.5 - Whatever Happened to Chocolate Bundam

Issue 14 - Yuugi Nights
>>154952257>Leonardo DaNinjaturtle>he's a crude scribblePoetry.
Issue 15 - Gold Miners of Aught One
>steph lurking in the background spitting raw factslove this one
>>154953230It's an eternal gag.
>>154953508This seems like a safe flight to be on.
>>154953771Every Goofus needs a Gallant.
Issue 16 - Nihao My Ballkicker
>>154955007Fuck I just got that>Hans Moleman>KennyGuessing the others follow the pattern
>>154953918I like Bob.
>>154954575That stripped-book stuff always struck me as odd, even as a kid. Who buys a book without a cover without being even a little suspicious?
taking a break
>>154955114Yep. The catgirl is Crushed the Doomed Kitty, whose RPG-ish tales made up half of Supermegatopia, another long-gone hilariously horny webcomic.
Issue 17 - The Sandwich Horror
>>154955098Made me lol, can't believe I did not try to read this from the other times it was storytimed.
>>154956274Heh, of course it was another way of getting the girls to gain weight.
Issue 17.5 - I Have No Mouth and I Must Ice Cream
Issue 18 - Project A-hab
>>154955300Is that meant to be the author in panel 4?
Issue 19 - They Might Be A Giant
By this point (late 2001) the original Muertitos was already started. Also Project A-Hab came out the day before 9/11where were (you)
Issue 20- The Silence of the Penguins
>>154956517I like one of those things...
>>154956573>Would I?!
>>154956597>Fone BoneNice touch.
>>154956705Eh, it's fine. Pod 6 was jerks anyway.
Issue 20.5 - Bride of Shinin
>>154957269Well... at least he's headed to south Jersey.
>>154957481>>154957302Dammit, Sakurai, learn your geography!
Issue 21 - Calista Flockhart Should Eat More Fatty Foods
For context , Calista Flockhart was going through something similar at the time to Ariana Grande now
>>154956882Steph’s already poking at Britney Spears huh? Also>Cooking with AnthraxJesus fucking christ Steph that only just would have happened
You know I just realized, Reiko doesn't actually use her Flying Suit all that often, they kind of leaned away from the Project A-Ko stuff and into more general
That and Semprini kind of disappeared
That was the end of the comic, February 2002. (I tried to check the archives to get an exact date, couldn't find it, but apparently Bride of Shinin was started almost a year before it came out and then finished hence the slightly worse art and she said....>>154957569That's apparently a proto-type of Luci-Mae. Speaking of her, Muertitos kept going on FSR until September 2002 (where it took a two year hiatus until the Keenspace reboot in September 2004) and Dystopia came out in early 2003. Then the site split in half with Stephanie taking her comics while the IRL and user submitted stuff became a site called Marumaru Meromero run by....either Frostbyte or Axel-Rosered...or maybe those were the same guy my memory is a bit fuzzy. She still uploaded a lot of other art, but the site was essentially abandoned by the Summer of 2004 and she moved elsewhere. However, in early 2004, Steph released a one issue reboot of Flying Suit Reiko, which-
>>154957769>Cher NobylThat's Venture Bros.-tier villain naming!
is here. This is the only page archived. Nobody properly archived the others(they archived the website pages, but not the images on those pages you had to do that separately back then).The other 20 pages of this are currently lost media, and are easily the most prized piece of missing work. They were online from 2004 until the site went down in 2009 or early 2010. If you or anyone you know may have them, go looking. We found the two missing pages of the main comic after all. On the subject, some other stuff to look out for would be>Missing colored character art for certain Reiko characters>A few pages of the original FSR Muertitos run(I think two are missing completely and one is missing in in full quality as the third issue was remastered later) >Anything relating to Swamp Oppossum or the earlier pencil versions of FSR or Muertitos Steph did back in the 90s. There's no links to them on FSR, but I've seen evidence of Steph as early as Fall 2000 on Stuffed chatting with Frost and Mamabliss so there's a chance there's a source trail there I missed somewhere. I've tried bruteforcing different website names into the Wayback machine, various combos of Swamp Opossum, sometimes with comic or comics thrown in, sometimes Opossum999 since that was Steph's old AOL, no luck>Just any misc early 2000s stuff from before her deviantart, we have lots, but more is always good
>>154958141>>154958229that goes there. She wanted Slave Labor Graphics to pick it up so she could make an actual published Flying Suit Reiko graphic novel series, but they never bit and she eventually gave up and rebooted Muertitos. Her history with SLG didn't end there, but that whole thing is another story. Anyway, I don't have quite enough spots to post everything I don't think since, again, Thread 1 died before it was supposed to, but I'll post as much bonus stuff as I can.
Here's a one off of Futomomoe fantasizing about swapping roles with her mom
(gonna use Steph's descriptions for most of these, from the website)London Bridge Is...- Could this be Momoe's future as a plus-sized model on a world tour?
Yoko's Training-A picture of Yoko a couple of months after she started her sumo training, forcing herself to guzzle down massive amounts of homemade weight-gain shake to bulk up quickly.
Chubby Waterbaby- A see-through vision of her robe reveals the effect her adventures in the calorie-rich food of the Outer World have had!
Miji- Semprini's mother, a plump and sweet-natured scullery maid. Scyllans age well, and she hardly looks older than she did the day her daughter was born.
Alternate Naomi and Yoko- What if instead of Yoko, Naomi had chosen to switch her martial arts style to sumou?
Yui the Couch Potato- With her love of TV, it would be a matter of weeks before Yui looked like this if she were given access to snack foods such as fatty potato chips.
The Future of Future Chibi Rei- You saw Reiko's daughter as a pudgy spoiled brat--now see her as a pudgy spoiled teenager.
Mother-Daughter Pig-Out- What a celebration Waterbaby and her mother Bianca had the first time Waterbaby came home to Celestia with a pile of junk food in tow! Never before had Bianca tasted such greasy, fattening delights. But her stomach wasn't used to being stuffed with anything more complicated than fruits and veggies, so all those heavy lipids aren't sitting too well in there....
Kimono Girls- Dressed up for a festival.
Mariko, Asleep- The only way for her to escape the relentless demands of schoolwork is in her sleep. Here she hugs her stuffed penguin Pin close.
Pokecast- The cast of FSR as Pokemon, including Reichu, Mariwak, Shidabra, Potlax, Toshlet, Clemomoe, Yokoqueen, Dittari, Naomonlee, Menthyer, and Kentwo.
Reading Family- Momoe and her parents in happier times.
Sailor Senshi of Musashi High- Yui, Mariko, Reiko, Potchari, and Kasumi as the Inner Senshi.
Spirits of Youth- Some of the FSR cast's older members as they appeared in days long ago.
Yamada Family- Shige's rather large family.
>>154958329*I actually don't know where this one is from. It was in a bundle someone gave me, and it's on the website if i searched for jpg images in the archive, but I can't find where you actually access it from so it's possible some context is missing.
Now onto the character profiles, warning some are missing
AhoFull name: AhoAge: 350Ht. 2ft. 11 in. Weight: 15kg (33lbs.)Occupation: Prinicpal of Musashi High SchoolHobbies: Pokemon collectingSexual Fun Fact: His people have both a sporophyte and gametopyte generation. Aho is a sporophyte- the gametophytes are bright red, forty stories tall, and covered in impenetrable chitinous armor.Ambition: To catch 'em all!Little is known about Principal Aho. There is some suspicion that he may have a secret past. Some particulary paranoid people even think that he may be not of this world. Regardless of the truth of these rumors, he tries hard to be the best principal he can be, but some of his ideas about what that entails are strange to say the least. He has been Musashi High's principal since 1951.
AkiraFull name:Kobayashi AkiraAge: 20Ht. 5 ft 11in Weight: 93kg (205lbs.)Occupation: NoneHobbies: MotorcyclingSexual Fun Fact: Well, he's not a virgin... this is astonishing to anyone who knows him well at allAmbition: None apparent, except to keep his hog tuned.Reiko's brother, an unemployed slacker whose only skills are motorcycle riding, motorcycle repair, and motorcycle waxing. He hopes to build a job out of one or more of these. For a brief time he entertained notions of starting an unsuccessful garage band, mostly because all the other stereotypical slackers were doing it, but that fell through when all his friends got lives. So for now, he's content to ride his motorcycle Butako and look after his girlfriend Suki. And sometimes vice versa.
AnkoFull name: Kamera AnkoAge: 29Ht. 5ft 6in Weight: 59kg (130lbs.)Occupation: News anchorHobbies: Reporting and actingSexual Fun Fact: She played 'Miss Fifi' on the erotic flop 'Nudesradio', and experimental audio-only nudey flick.Ambition: To win the Nobel Prize for ReportingAs a young girl, Anko dreamed of being a movie starlet. But her dreams were shattered at an audition when the director told her she could never be a star because she had fat ankles. The accuracy of this statement can not be verified, as from that day onward she has always worn very baggy socks. She decidered to go into newscasting, a field where no-one sees anything below your waist, and has done very well at it. She is currently Tokyo News 5's second most popular anchor, behind only Popo the Frolicking Moo-Cow at 11.
AnorakFull name: General AnorakAge: 10 (the equivalent of 28 in Mylar years)Ht. 6in Weight: 0.8kg (1 and a half lbs.)Occupation: Top general of the Mylarian military, Minister of Roots and TubersHobbies: WarmongeringSexual Fun Fact: She is most alluring and sexy of the Mylarians, a fact which possibly contributes to her hold over the populace.Ambition: To overthrow the heriditary monarchy of Mylar and replace it with a military government. Since her loss in the Mylarian civil war, however, it's unlikely she will ever build up enough credibility to make a second coup attempt.
BobFull name: Bob FloyAge: 19Ht. 9ft Weight: 455kg (1001lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, manga vendorHobbies: Manga, anime, and numerous otaku-related activitiesSexual Fun Fact: He's hung like a... well, like you would expect.Ambition: To become the OtakingLarge, unwieldy American refugee from the former state of California (now the California Sea), Bob is a fanboy among fanboys.
Chibi Rei Full name: Kobayashi Chibi ReikoAge: 8 (in the year 2058)Ht. 4ft 1in Weight: 40kg (87lbs.)Occupation: NoneHobbies: Guy hunting, playing Pokemon Eggshell Off-White on her Ultra Super Mega Beyondo NintendoSexual Fun Fact: As with every firstborn daughter in Reiko's family, she's quite the little hentai.Ambition: To find the Platinum Diamond and save her mother in the future.Reiko's potential daughter, Chibi Rei traveled back to the year 2000 to find a certain item which her mother had lost, and thwart the conquest of Old Man and his lackeys.
Crazy Old BatFull name: Crazy Old BatAge: 162Ht. 2ft. 6in. Weight: 13kg (28lbs.)Occupation: Priestess, exorcist, and seller of strange and mystical items.Hobbies: Chatting with ghosts and demons, occasionally bowling with them.Sexual Fun Fact: Nothing much to tell-- she's a vestal virgin and has been all her life. Though she did take several vacations from the role in the 1860's and 70's.Ambition: To master the arcane.As a teenager growing up in the mid 1800's, the crazy old bat (known as 'that crazy kid' in those days) studied hard to master the rites of Shinto in preperation for taking care of the family's shrine. But then came Perry's black ships and the ending of Sakoku, and suddenly a whole new world was opened up to her. In the following decades, she learned how to summon, converse with, and if necessary combat demons, duppies, golems, loa, dybbuks, nosferatu, and any number of supernatural beings from all over the world. Now, in her ancient and interminable old age, she is rumored to be more than half-spirit herself, and few normal humans can muster the courage to call on her. Fortunately for her, her shrine is located in Reiko's neighborhood, where normal people are few and far between, and so she does a brisk business in the strange and extranatural.
Doroko-ObaasanFull name: Kunoichi DorokoAge: 80Ht. 4ft 2in Weight: 18kg (40lbs.)Occupation: GrandmotherHobbies: Speedo raids, guy-huntingSexual Fun Fact: Like her daughter Sakura and granddaughter Reiko, her sex drive is far above average.Ambition: To grope hot guys, then make her escape successfully.As a young girl, Doroko enjoyed a very active love life, particulary in her unmarried teens and twenties. In her old age, however, she has turned more and more to indirect contact, preferring to pilfer massive amounts of men's speedos, jockstraps, and briefs from wherever they might be found.Doroko nominally lives with her daughter's family, but because her active lifestyle keeps her travelling, she's rarely there more than one weekend a year... while her husband Santa is equally unseen, preferring to spend most of the day sleeping.
ErikaFull name: Erika StradaAge: 15Ht. 5ft 2in Weight: 49kg (108lbs.)Occupation: High school first-year student.Hobbies: Messing with Momoe's head.Sexual Fun Fact: She's a bit of a sadist.Ambition: Not much of anything.Erika was born in Greece, the daughter of Stavro and Asuka Strada. Her family bought massive amounts of olive oil stock when it was at a record low, hoping it that when the market readjusted itself they would get rich. Unfortunately, the record low prices had been caused by olive-tree-eating wooly rhincerii, which eventually destroyed all of Greece's olive orchards and crashed the olive market entirely. Destitute, the Stradas had no choice but to go live in Japan with Asuka's parents, and so, building an ark out of stock certificates, they set sail for their new home. In kindergarten, Erika formed a bond of friendship with Momoe, as they were both often picked on by jerks for their half-gaijin parentage. However, it's become obvious that Erika is not much better-- most of her fun comes from trying to manipulate Momoe into embarassing situations. She also drinks martinis heavily as an act of rebellion against her parents, who become enraged at the very mention of olives.
FleiderschweinFull name: Hans FleiderschweinAge: 51Ht. 5ft. 8in. Weight: 63kg (140lbs.)Occupation: Developer of Trend-PhenHobbies: Inventing evil contraptions and substances.Sexual Fun Fact: He likes to use his little whip in all sorts of situations.Ambition: To get people not to mistake him for a Nazi just because he has a German accent, and is evil.Earning his degree in Evil Doktoring at the tender age of 18, Hans Fleiderschwein went on to invent the concept of using telephones for marketing as well as many other fiendish devices. His last creation was the diet drug Trend-Phen, which enjoyed remarkable success for a brief period before Fleiderschwein vanished mysteriously along with the entire supply of the drug's crucial ingredient.
GokiburiFull name: Professor Gokiburi HiroshiAge: 75Ht. 3ft 4in Weight: 18kg (40lbs.)Occupation: Inventor, currently in the employ of the Matsubara Mecha CorporationHobbies: Inventing useful things, inventing useless things, inventing dangerous things.Sexual Fun Fact: He invented Viagra, which he was too afraid to take himself, after preliminary findings revealed that potential side effects involved a slow transformation into an elderly Senator.Ambition: To perfect whatever he is currently working on. So far this ambition has been fulfilled 1,455 times.He has created many things which have changed the world for good and for ill. So he comes out more or less even.Some of his many creations:Lactose-seeking missiles (responsible for many victories in the Pacific theater)- 1943Combination space station/bug zapper- 1964The two-way telescreen- 1984Trixxi1.0, his lab assistant-1988The ribbed latex Gundam- 1991The Flying-Suit- 1997Corn (retroactively distibuted by time travel)- 2004
HanakoFull name: Taberu HanakoAge: 39Ht. 5ft. 11in. Weight: 56kg (123lbs.)Occupation: Fashion ModelHobbies: UnknownSexual Fun Fact: Most of her modeling is for lingerie catalogues.Ambition: To keep looking as young as possible.Divorced at 24 after a tempestuous three-year marriage to Micheal 'One-Handed' Reading, England's most famous disabled lingerie ad photographer, Hanako returned to Japan with her infant daughter Momoe and raised her by herself. To her chagrin Momoe seems to have inherited her father's natural chubbiness, a quality Hanako has tried to eliminate
Ms. InariFull name: Inari KitsukoAge: 188 chronologically, variable physically (preferred form appears to be in late 20's)Ht. 5 ft. 1 in. Weight: 61kg (135lbs) (preferred form)Occupation: High school teacherHobbies: TransformationSexual Fun Fact: She's a real fox! (Actually this has nothing to do with sex, she literally is an actual fox)Ambition: To be the best teacher she can be.A kitsune (transforming fox-spirit) who longed to enter human society because of its better television reception, Ms. Inari was able to get a job at Musashi High School despite not being human (luckily, neither is the pricipal). Though she tries hard, Reiko and her classmates are some of the first humans Inari has ever met and she has a lot to learn about human life. For this reason, her class is often a little unconventional. Her students may have difficulty in later life due to strange gaps in their education, but no one will graduate from her class without knowing how to barbeque.
KanakoFull name:Nonomohe KanakoAge: 15Ht. 5ft 3in. Weight: 43kg (95lbs.)Occupation: High school first-year studentHobbies: Following Erika around like a silent shadow.Sexual Fun Fact: Rumors circulate about her and Erika... but these are only rumors. Probably.Ambition: UnknownTaciturn schoolmate of Erika's and Momoe's. She speaks little, if ever, and rarely shows any emotion, but the other two (Erika especially) seem to be able to communicate with her. The currents of life do not toss her as they do others, and she remains inert, unmoving, an enigma whose true feelings and motivation are a mystery.
KasumiFull name: Ito KasumiAge: 17Ht. 5ft 1in Weight: 45kg (100lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: DatingSexual Fun Fact: She carries a 'Love Hotel Genki' punch card with her at all times- when it gets ten punchs she gets a free pizza as part of a cross-promotion with Pizza Hut.Ambition: To provide quality service at affordable prices.Shrine miko by day and schoolgirl prostitute by... other parts of the day and into the night, Kasumi leads a double life her parents don't know about. When confronted with them asking how she was able to afford so much electronic equipment and such a large wardrobe, she just explained that she had become a cat burglar and was robbing houses, which was fine with them as long as she stayed a vestal virgin. Though very mercenary, Kasumi knows that customer satisfaction leads to repeat business, and tries to do her very best to make every experience a pleasant one.
KenichiFull name: Hoshi KenichiAge: 17Ht. 5 ft 9 in Weight: 70kg (155lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, leader of the M.H.S.S.P.E.A.Hobbies: Surveillance, enforcing moralitySexual Fun Fact: This guy is so sexually repressed, he makes the Pope look like Austin Powers.Ambition: To convince the whole world to change its ways and repent. Disliked by virtually everyone, his only friends are his four droogs in the M.H.S.S.P.E.A., four outcasts whom he gathered together in the first year of high school. Even they don't really like him-- they are in reality a gang of extortionists and blackmailers, supporting Kenichi only enough for him to supply them with a headquarters and hot meals. Nobody likes him because he doesn't like anyone, but his number one enemy is Reiko, and he dedicates most of his energy to bringing her down.
KuroFull name: Kobayashi KuroAge: 4Ht. 1ft. 6in.Weight: 9kg (20lbs.)Occupation: PetHobbies: Lounging, sleeping, resting, snoozing, napping, eating.Sexual Fun Fact: When the rest of the family is away, he likes to make obscene phone calls to Luna.Ambition: To sleep.The Kobayashi's pet cat.
KyoikuFull name: Omura KyoikuAge: 41Ht. 5ft 9in Weight: 66kg (145lbs.)Occupation: ActressHobbies: Attempting to control her children's lives to the smallest detail.Sexual Fun Fact: The bulk of her work is in the field of soft-core pornography, mostly because that's what her husband's production company makes.Ambition: For both her children to get into Todai, and become high-ranking politicians, neurosurgeons, or ideally both.Kyoiku's first role was as 'Surprised and Pleased Girl' in the 1977 commercial "Wow! My Underpants Smell Like a Field Of Flowers Thanks to Zam Detergent!" She won acclaim for her wild emotional palette, heartfelt delivery, and melon-sized breasts, and soon became a frequent actress in the works of indepedant filmmaker Omura Eiga. Love grew storgically, and within a few years Kyoiku and Eiga were madly in love with each other, eventually marrying and having two children, fraternal twins Mariko and Shikenji.It was with the birth of her children that Kyoiku's real passion, hyper-hands-on parenting to the point of obsession, came to the fore. Her daughter, whose intellect is staggering, has managed to perform up to expectations, but her average-minded son is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.With the demands of parenting, Kyoiku's acting work slowed, but she still stars in several erotic films and various commercials each year, taking advantage of her still-fantastic body and skin (her secret is bufotoxins, by the way). One recent work was the commercial for diet drug Trend-Phen, which she never actually took herself.
MarikoFull name: Omura MarikoAge: 17Ht. 5 ft. 1 in. Weight: 65 kg (144lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: StudyingSexual Fun Fact: She's bisexualAmbition: To get into TodaiReiko's best friend since infancy, and a usually unheeded voice of reason in her life. She shares everything with Reiko, except for one thing-- she's in love with her.
MentosFull name: Freshmaker MentosAge: 17Ht. 5 ft 11in Weight: 74kg (163lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, scionHobbies: Swordfighting, crossdressing.Sexual Fun Fact: He's one freakin' sexy guy. The ladies love him, except for the gay ladies.Ambition: To find a girlfriend who he's sure doesn't want him only for his good looks and immense wealth.The extended Freshmaker family, the only samurai line still in denial about their position in society, still considers itself the nobility of Japan. Even to the this day they practice the ancient traditions of chivalry, dueling, and cousin-marrying. Yet under the rapacious capitalistic claws of their financial advisors, their wealth and influence has grown and spread like that giant fungus in Washington State, merging with several corporations to form the almighty Freshmaker conglomerate, a subsidiary of McMicroSonyDisTimeAOLAcmePokéGMFoxTessierAshpoolUcchanCo International. But even with the world at their feet, the Freshmakers continue to live secretive lives on their huge and sprawling estate in mid-Tokyo. Mentos himself has never seen his parents, having been raised and educated by hired wolves for most of his life. However, he yearned to interact with the people outside the walls of his estate and private school, and so over the pack leader's vigorous protestations he enrolled in Musashi High School.
MilosFull name: Freshmaker MilosAge: 28Ht. 6ft 3in. Weight: 77kg (170lbs.)Occupation: Tennis instructorHobbies: Tennis, wooingSexual Fun Fact: He likes older women... many housewives take his tennis class just to get their shot at him.Ambition: To become a professional tennis player. His style of tennis is more of a sexual ballet, though.Older brother of Mentos, and the other of the only two publicly visible members of the Freshmaker family, Milos lives the carefree life of a playboy. Like Mentos, he is virtually irresistable to women. Unlike Mentos, however, he takes full advantage of this power and welcomes all the attention he gets.
MomoeFull name: Taberu MomoeAge: 16Ht. 6 ft. Weight: 95 kg (209lbs.)Occupation: High school first-year studentHobbies: Eating, attempting to dietSexual Fun Fact: Can't think of oneAmbition: To lose weightAlthough she is naturally plump, being the daughter of a fashion model has taken a toll on Momoe's self-esteem, and she is constantly trying to diet. Unfortunately her brain just isn't programmed that way, and her ice-cream loving friends don't help much. Also, she has a crush on her sempai Shige, not knowing that he's a feeder, and their occaisional quasi-dates usually result in her gaining weight from all the food.
NaomiFull name: Tsuyoi NaomiAge: 17Ht. 6ft. 6in. Weight: 123kg (272lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, member of M.H.S.S.P.E.A., captain of Mushashi High School Women's Pankration team.Hobbies: PankrationSexual Fun Fact: She dominates both in the ring and out of it.Ambition: To win fightsThe heaviest woman at Musashi, outweighing even Potchari by 51 pounds, Naomi is famed for her incredible strength. She's the muscle of the M.H.S.S.P.E.A.
PotchariFull name: Yoshida PotchariAge: 18Ht. 6 ft. 1 in. Weight: 100 kg (221lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: Eating, sumo wrestlingSexual Fun Fact: She's a feedeeAmbition: To break the gender barrier in sumo wrestlingThe daughter of a former idol singer and a high-ranking sumo wrestler, Potchari inherited her mother's beauty and her father's appetite. She was rather slender until her first year of high school, when she met her destined true love and feeder, Shige. 70 pounds later, she’s a reubenesque goddess and enjoys finally being able to compete against the trainee wrestlers at her father's stable. She does quite well at sumo wrestling, despite regular protestations by Kenichi that it's "a man's sport".
PyriteFull name: Pyrite of the SmegmaverseAge: Appears to be in his late 20's, but due to differences in time-flow between this world and his own, his exact age is unknown.Ht. 6ft Weight: 82kg (180lbs.)Occupation: EvildoerHobbies: EvildoingSexual Fun Fact: He has a steady girlfriend, Boycite, whom he loves very much.Ambition: To conquer Earth and enslave it to the Smegmaverse.From a distant and bizarre dimension, Pyrite, one of his world's four strongest warriors (the other three being Boycite, Budlite, and Cellulite) came to this dimension to drain its power for the Smegmaverse. Unfortunately while he sets this up he has no source of income, having been fired when he didn't show up at the accounting firm for the third day in a row, and must take commissions, such as the one he took from Semprini to find Reiko, in order to survive. Since the jobs he does invariable involve turning someone into an evil monster, which drains his energy reserves, he hasn't made much progress towards the master goal yet.
ReikoFull name: Kobayashi ReikoAge: 17Ht. 5 ft. 2 in. Weight: 50 kg (110lbs.)Hobbies- Watching TV, flirtingSexual Fun Fact- NymphomaniacalAmbition- To score with MentosReiko was only slightly abnormal until a botched tonsillectomy turned her into "Flying-Suit Reiko", the latest in a series of experiments by Japanese defense companies to harness the destructive power of the nation's schoolgirls for military applications.
SakuraFull name: Kobayashi SakuraAge: 44Ht. 5ft. 3in. Weight: 57kg (125lbs.)Occupation: HomemakerHobbies: TennisSexual Fun Fact: She's as much of a nymphomaniac as her daughter isAmbition: To do something with her life besides raising kids.Sakura was raised in the city (she attended Musashi H.S.), and was president of the UFO Watchers club in college where she met Reiko's father.
SempriniFull name: Semprini of the House IpriminepsAge: 26Ht. 5 ft. 7 in. Weight:93kg (205lbs.)(because of very dense muscles)Occupation: VillainessHobbies: Seeking revengeSexual Fun Fact: She really likes in when someone nibbles on her webbed feet.Ambition: To kill Flying-Suit Reiko, and then get back to conquering the universe.Born into a life of scullery maidness on the warlike planet Scylla, Semprini managed to escape the planet and eventually became governess to young VP Soreb, controlling the Mylarian government in all but name. Eventually, Flying-Suit Reiko defeated her, and she vowed to seek revenge.
ShigeFull name: Yamada ShigeAge: 17Ht. 5 ft. 5 in. Weight: 64kg (140lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: CookingSexual Fun Fact: He's a feeder and FAAmbition: To become a master chef and open up an all-you-can-eat restaurant that caters exclusively to cheerleaders.Shige first started taking cooking lessons from Mrs. Yoshida in order to get closer to Potchari. However, he soon learned that he had a natural talent, and became a very diligent pupil. Plus, the better he gets at cooking, the better the meals he can cook for Potchari. Nowadays, in addition to his lessons, he helps out with the cooking, a big help to Mrs. Yoshida because preparing dinner for a stablefull of sumo wrestlers is a big job. For his help, he gets a little pay, most of which ends up being converted into more Potchari-feed.
ShiniFull name: Furter ShininAge: 130 (brain), 19-105 (other parts)Ht. 4ft 2in Weight: 68kg (150lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, member of M.H.S.S.P.E.A.Hobbies: Business ventures, generalized bullyingSexual Fun Fact: His genitals were once the nose of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.Ambition: Possessing an entrepreneurial bent, Shinin's main concern is to make money, a passion he shares with fellow M.H.S.S.P.E.A. member Hebiko. He also has the scoring urge of the typical teenage male, and a secret yearning to one day become a real boy.Created by mad scientist Frank N. Furter to work off his.... tension, Shinin is a walking golem sewn together out of the reanimated corpses of the dead. That said, he's not really THAT bad a guy, despite a major selfish streak. Growing up in Eastern Europe, his childhood was a fairly happy one, except for the occasional visit from angry torch-bearing peasants. His family moved from castle to castle every time the old was was burned down, working their way into Russia, across the Eurasian supercontinent, and finally arriving in Japan, where the peasants finally decided to turn back (their torches having gone out in the attempt to make the swim). Finally able to settle down, Shinin was enrolled in the school system to get an education. Ostracized because of his foul aroma and hideous countenance, he was an outcast until he finally found his niche in high school, sponging off Kenichi along with the other sociopathic misfits in the M.H.S.S.P.E.A.
SorebFull name: Mylarian Vice President SorebAge: 6 (the eqivalent of 15 in human years)Ht. 6 in. Weight: 0.7kg (1 and a half lbs.)Occupation: Vice President of the planet MylarHobbies: Invading planets, crushing rebellions, skee-ballSexual Fun Fact: Like all Mylarians, she's ovoparous (ooh... kinky).Ambition: To conquer the universeSoreb, daughter of Murmax, became ruler of the planet Mylar after a short-lived coup by her governess, Semprini.
TamamiFull name: Tsuresha TamamiAge: 34Ht. 5ft 6in Weight: 64kg (141lbs.)Occupation: Waitress at 'Taopaipai's' during the week, ecdysiast on the weekends.Hobbies: Smoking and drinking substances of varying legality.Sexual Fun Fact: She works in the 'water industry', which is just about nothing but sexuality.Ambition: Tamami was a very bright girl, studious, focused, some would say anal retentive. However, her life seemed to fall apart like a house built out of graham crackers after her parents, both wealthy ambassadors, took her to an ball held at the Canadian embassy. There she drank too much champagne and had a brief encounter with an unknown man which led to her becoming pregnant with Yui. She could never remember anything about the father afterwards, due in part to the half-gallon of champagne in her belly and in part to the presense of DIC agents among the Canadian hosts, who ruthlessly edited the scene from her mind. So, disowned by her parents and without even the knowledge of where in the entire world the baby's father was, she was forced to raise Yui on her own. Often single mothers can find the strength to succeed in a career while still giving a child all the love and attention it needs, but hoo boy, was this ever not the case with Tamami. She works at the Hooters-like restaurant 'Taopaipai's' for minimum wage plus all the sugar packets she can steal. She and Yui currently live in a hyper-cheap apartment building made out of dressed-up plywood.
TarouFull name: Kobayashi TarouAge: 43Ht. 5ft 5in Weight: 68kg (150lbs.)Occupation: Assitant Floor Manager, Matsubara Mecha CorporationHobbies: Enforced golfingSexual Fun Fact: His drive is a lot lower than Sakura's, which causes some friction between them... or looked at another way, it prevents friction between them.Ambition: To make it to retirement age without being blown up by one of the mecha being built in his section.A country boy, born in the secluded mountain village of Minamikoen, Tarou moved to the big city to get an education and wound up staying after falling in love with his feisty sempai Sakura. Now, he oversees the production of some of the world's more technologically advanced mecha.
The ScarFull name: The Scar MitchellAge: 27Ht. 5ft 6in Weight: 56kg (120lbs.)Occupation: MercenaryHobbies: Stealing industrial secrets.Sexual Fun Fact: She really does have a scar, but not where it shows.Ambition: To get rich.Formerly one of the Laker Girls, The Scar was fired because her name was judged "not babe-alicious enough." After a string of menial jobs, she decided to take charge of her life, and took a correspondence course in the gun-for-hire trade. While licking an envelope, she received the severe paper cut that finally caused her name to make sense. Seeing this as a good omen, she looked ahead to her life as a mercenary with anticipation. And now she's dead. C'est la vie.
ToshioFull name: Kurage ToshioAge: 17Ht. 3 ft. Weight: 36kg (80lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: Observing things and commenting on them.Sexual Fun Fact: Very little is known about this area in regard to Toshio.Ambition: UnknownKorean-born classmate of Reiko's, and the only person to really realize all the logical errors involving her Flying-Suit.
WaterbabyFull name: (No legal surname, but it would be either Cantaloupe or Tajiri) WaterbabyAge: 15Ht. 5ft 3in Weight: 54kg (119lbs.)Occupation: NoneHobbies: Frolicking, relaxingSexual Fun Fact: She has a puritan-morality fetish that leads her to be attracted to KenichiAmbition: Somewhat of a Catch-22-- she desires Kenichi because his narrow-minded reactionary attitudes are a massive turn-on to her, but by definition if he, or any other boy, were to reciprocate her affection, she would automatically lose interest. Hence there is not real way for her to acheive her stated goal of getting Kenichi.Waterbaby is a third-generation Celestian, having been born on the tiny island nation sixteen years after its founding. The three Elders of Celestia, Josephine, Tajiri, and Becky, formed the first generation. The five children they brought with them, all from partners who declined to accompany them to the island, formed the second generation, and the numerous children of the Elder's children with each other and with certain of the Elders, but not with the Elders who were their own parents, formed the third generation. Understand? At this point, neither do most of they, and as the fourth generation is born the concept of seperate families has almost dissolved.Our heroine never stuck around long enough to contribute to Generation 4, however. Seeking something to turn her on-- nothing on Celestia did it for her-- she braved the outside world in her quest for fulfillment.
YakyuuFull name: Coach YakyuuAge: 41Ht. 4ft 5in Weight: 56kg (120lbs.)Occupation: High school sports coach, and referee when necessaryHobbies: Baseball and other sportsSexual Fun Fact: Does this look like the kind of guy whose sex life you want to know about?Ambition: For the teams he coaches to win games.Musashi High School's sole sports coach. His chief duty, besides teaching gym class, is managing Musashi High's soccer team, the Flying Condoms (it was supposed to be "Condors", but there was a mix-up at the printing facility.)
YokoFull name: Zuna YokoAge: 18Ht. 6ft. 8in. Weight: 188kg (414lbs.)Occupation: High school senior, captain of Kojiro High School Womens' Pankration team.Hobbies: PankrationSexual Fun Fact: Why do you need a sexual fun fact when you can see this picture of her almost nekkid?Ambition: To be the greatest pankrater who ever pankrated.At age fifteen, fighter-in-training Yoko was three hundred pounds of solid muscle, but still she sought more size, more strength. Having hit a ceiling on how far muscle development could take her, she decided to switch her fighting style to sumo techniques (mixed in with old-fashioned punching) and glutted her way to her current immense size. Attending Musashi High School's bitter rival school, Kojiro, she relishs every confrontation against her adversary and Musashi's champion, Naomi.
YuiFull name: Tsuresha YuiAge: 17Ht. 5ft 9in Weight: 55kg (122lbs.)Occupation: High school seniorHobbies: TelevisionSexual Fun Fact: She can't tell what sex she is without lookingAmbition: All she wants is a kind word once in a while and a television to watch the rest of the time and she's happy.Cheerful, genial... dumb as a brick, but you can't have everything. Yui is Reiko's third-best friend after Mariko and Potchari.
>>154959029Due to a saving issue I missed this image
>>154959243And this one. So the ones that are lost and need to be found are as following>Bob Floy>Fleiderschwein>Ms. Inari>Kanako>Kuro>Mariko>Mentos>Soreb>Tamami>Tarou>WaterbabyThose plus the 2nd through 21st pages of the 2004 issue are our top priority
Let's see, another one I don't know the origin of, a three page Yoko comic probably from 2003 based on the artstyle(matches her other stuff from that era)
(This one from 2004 should have been posted earlier with the other stuff from that section, but I saved it as it's the last thing ever posted on the FSR website, from mid 2004)By me- Chocolate Mariko - Mariko really loves chocolate, so of course for her White Day present Mentos had to get her something in that vein. He bought out Glutiva Chocolate, the super-premium company, and had them hire Mariko as the new "Glutiva Chocolates Girl" and star her in their advertising. It must be said that she really enjoyed it, although it all just went straight to her waist and it did get just a LITTLE embarassing wearing those clingy dresses on her new figure.
Here's a 2003 era piece of art showing Reiko with the other two protagonists, Honeo and Crash Nutria
Here's Reiko's face from the updated 2004 version of the website
And from the 2000/2001 version.And I've burned through all my stuff. Posted every surviving Steph one too albeit those last two were stretching it. No room for art from other people, but eh, maybe next year. If you wanna explore be my guest. Here's the final site https://web.archive.org/web/20010929125042/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Here's the earlier one that shut down https://web.archive.org/web/20000917025337/http://www.stas.net:80/flyingsuit/index.htmHere's the old forumhttps://web.archive.org/web/20060107004226/http://b11.ezboard.com/fpg13feedbackforumfrm4And here's the art sectionshttps://web.archive.org/web/20020810191709mp_/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/artgallery.htmhttps://web.archive.org/web/20021017104146mp_/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/gallery.htmhttps://web.archive.org/web/20051217230746/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/fsru_mis.htmCurrent plan is tomorrow I'll dump that 22 page short story Itazura Hakase, then do the 67 page Dystopia on Monday, the original 120 page FSR Muertitos on Thursday, and the big ticket 580 page Muertitos run on Friday-Saturday. Then Creamy Beamy the week after that and IntraGalactic the week after that
(OH, BTW, in mid 2005 when the site was officially abandoned Steph updated all the chapters to have descriptions with funny stories. Let me post the FSR ones)
>>154959852Now that I'm working on the Keenspace version of Muertitos full time, I doubt much new stuff will be showing up here. At least not new stuff by me. Let that stand as a cryptic pronouncement. Anyway, most of this old stuff is a bit embarassing now. I've improved a lot both in drawing skill and in simply knowing what the hell I was doing with the scanner. Please forgive the blurry, nasty look to the drawings and enjoy my seminal issues. The one that started it all. Except for Swamp Opossum, an even EARLIER comic which was done only in pencil. (There's a pencil run of FSR too. Trust me, it looks even crappier than this.) I love these characters, and they WILL return someday.Issue 1: Mylar Attacks!- January 2000 - First Reiko comic in ink! Back then, I was doing it with old fashioned pens you actually dip in inkwells. Those are supposed to be really good if you get skilled with them, which I did not do.Issue 2: Reiko In Lust- February 2000 - Mentos is introduced. Mentos started off as a parody of Mendou from Urusei Yatsura, while ALSO being a parody of "Lendo" from Ninja High School, and NHS's penchant for ripping off Takahashi characters in general.Issue 3: Potchari Sweat- March 2000 - Yay, Potchari! I didn't really know how to draw hot plump girls back then, so she actually looks pretty skinny except for her stomach. I really like this one because I got to do my big "fuck you" to the diet companies. Issue 4: When Millionaires Attack- April 2000 - This was the first inked FSR that wasn't just a redraw of something I did in 1998-1999. Issue 5: Demon-Streaked Dress- May 2000 - Yui gets her chance to shine (pronounced "shee-nay"). Fun fact: Like a lot of FSR characters, Yui started off as a spoof of some character or other. In this case it was "Molly" (or whatever her real name is) from Sailor Moon.
>>154959869Issue 6: There's Something About Mariko- June 2000 - The beginning of the M/M relationship. I do think they're cute together.Issue 7: Triumph of the Wool- July 2000 - After doing a couple stories with the Mylarians, I wanted to actually show Planet Mylar.Issue 8: A New Student Comes to Musashi High- July 2000 - Bob Floy gets introduced. Fun fact 2: Originally, he was a joke on stereotypes of Americans, huge and hyper-patriotic and completely clueless about the rest of the world. But I realized it wouldn't make any sense for him to speak Japanese, so he became a fanboy instead.Issue 9: Futurmama- August 2000 - Another Sailor Moon thing. Remember this was from 2000, when anime in the US was DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokemon.Issue 10: Jigoku Sensei Michael Jackson- October 2000 - I mispelled it "Micheal Jackson" when I first put this page up, and I got so many hits from people mistyping his name into Google. And I guess now I will again.
>>154959886Issue 11: Valley of the Idols- November 2000 - Big space war issue!Issue 12: The Death and Return and Death and Return of Shige- December 2000 - More with Shige and Potchari. They're hard to write for because they don't really have a lot of conflict or problems. They're just this really loving couple, which is boring.Issue 13: Chocolate Bundam-February 2001 - A Valentine's Day story. Like all lonely people, I hate Valentine's Day, so there's a lot of carnage, buildings blowing up, glass being eaten, etc. I rarely try to coordinate stories with specific dates, because I'm never sure when I'll have them done.Issue 14: Yuugi Nights-April 2001 - Another one of those stories that's a straight-up spoof of one particular thing. I don't do these so much anymore.Issue 15: Gold Miners of Aught One- May 2001 - Partly based on a fairy tale and partly on a bizarre manga called "Otenki no Oneesan", which features a character very much like this issue's Psyko.Issue 16: Nihao My Ballkicker- June 2001 - I had to get around to Ranma 1/2 sooner or later. I used to be a big fan of Takahashi, but it's dropped of recently as I've become aware of more series.
>>154959908Issue 17: The Sandwich Horror- August 2001 - These next two issues are the closest I've ever done to doing a two-parter. They're connected, but not really related at all.Issue 18: Project A-hab- September 2001 - Part two of the big "Summer Job" thing. This one's interesting because it contains a reference to my favorite manga, One Piece, done at a time when I had no idea what it was except that it was about pirates. I wouldn't actually read the series until months later.Issue 19: They Might Be A Giant- November 2001 - John Rocker is crushed to death. Whee!Issue 20: The Silence of the Penguins- December 2001 - Introduction of Kenichi's father, and a little insight into why he's so messed up.Issue 21: Calista Flockhart Should Eat More Fatty Foods- February 2002 - The final regular volume of FSR, in which we meet the Earthketeers! Looking back at this, it comes off as really nasty and right-wing towards environmentalists. You'd never guess that I'm a radical socialist myself. On the plus side, the FA message comes through pretty well.FSR Return Special: A New Hope- May 2004 - The new hope was that SLG would publish this.... Oh well, it was nice to draw them again! That's all for the series until someday....
>>154959926Futomomoe (FSR 1.5) - Started off as something completely independant from FSR, but I threw Reiko and Mariko in one scene and gradually Momoe and co. became bit characters in the regular continuity. Of course, since they're first years and the regular cast are third years, they rarely meet. Oddly enough, the letter-faced girl, Nonomohe Kanako, seems to be very popular with fans for some reason.The Natrix (FSR 5.5) - More Potchan and Shige stuff.Mommy's Curse (FSR 6.5) - Why Reiko is like Reiko... (also, why Crash Nutria, a very distant descendant of Reiko, is that way...)Kink's Awakening (FSR 7.5) - Waterbaby! I love Waterbaby. She's just the perfect thing to bug the hell out of Kenichi.Bride of Shinin (FSR 20.5) - This golem thing probably would have come back if there had been more issues.Whatever Happened To... Chocolate Bundam?I Have No Mouth And I Ice Cream
If the thread stays up til tomorrow I might dig around for random quotes or post some factoids or just a link maybe, we'll see. Thanks guys. Some of this stuff in the back here has never been posted before. Every year we've managed to always find or do something new, and that trend isn't dead yet. See you on the flipside, and remember...find the Swamp Opossum
