   Well, that was my entry in the Preludes cycle.  Hope you liked it.  I
realize it's sort of a different take on the Kunou family's particular brand
of eccentricity, after all.  In the process of getting inside the character's
heads, I confess to taking more than a few liberties, so let the end result be
judged accordingly.  Feel free to let me know what you thought.

I thought this had some very good character work. The developments of
the Kunos' characters as they grew up seemed reasonable and believable.
The way in which they were revealed, though, often seemed a bit
heavy-handed; often it seemed that characterization bits were being
fully spelled out where a more subtle approach that lets the readers
fill in some of it for themselves might have worked better.

It didn't seem to me that you took very many liberties with the
characters. My only continuity complaint is that a significant event in
the history of the Kunos was omitted, namely da Principal shaving
Tacchi's head right before he left for Havai'i as seen in vol. 12.
