A fantastic work, areg5. They're more and more humans with each comics, which make the subtle AR spurt really neat.

The only con is that you've been quite heavy on the fillers. ^^ The AR parts didn't actually took place until near the end, so here we go eagerly waiting for the next part.

Glad you liked it. The next part will have more AR in it. I was basically following the architecture of the original story, in which the AR is very gradual. The build up shows where Greg starts, what he has, what he does and what he loses. This isn't a story for those looking for a fast AR to infancy. In fact, Greg will not regress to infancy but merely to pre-tween. That's enough to make a big difference in his life.

Really a very special story for me. It is somewhat autobiographical. I was the lifeguard. I obviously didn't regress, because that doesn't really happen. I made Cindy look as much like my girlfriend as I could, so I love looking at the pictures. Kelly is pretty close to what she looked like, as is Chris. I even included my old VW, although it was a convertible. The names have all been changed.

Areg5, are you ever going to do a female AR to infancy again?

I'm sure I will at some point.

I know, I did read you old story. I was actually referring not to the long character and storyline devellopment, which is quite faithful and nicely done, but to the several cameo along the story.

If I do recognise all or most of these characters, honestly I'm starting to be a bit lost in all their backstory. ^' I feel like it may be useful to include some sort of page with very short summary of who they are. :]

Didn't know that! Imo it's probably very usual among AR fan to imagine stories with semi autobiographical main characters, I did wo too, but you're among the very few talented ones who did put it down in a proper story, and now a well done comic. :]
