Contemplating Reiko is a fun comic that rides a little on the dark side. It is mostly done in single page comics that rarely are sequential. I have spent hours reading the back comics and laughing my tail off.
According to the about page on the site ‘Contemplating Reiko is a wicked little cartoon strip about a wicked little girl named Reiko and her three sisters Shinobu, Shirabe, and Shihoka. ‘ I remember reading this comic as far back as 21 years ago. it has always been such a delight to read. The characters are very demonic, so the themes are evil. I personally enjoy Reiko and her antics.
So, tell me, what webcomics, if any, do you follow?

My 2 Cents – Lynard Skynard did it first, but I love Metallica’s cover. This is a song from my teens. Considering the fresh passing of the year, I find myself nostalgic. Craving foods from childhood and listening to the music I loved then. I grew up on country, it was all mama would listen to. I went wild. I listen to everything. Classical, classic rock, country, Rhythm and Blues, Bluegrass, rap, heavy metal, pop. you name the genre and I likely have a favorite band. I firmly believe music shows us who a person is…based on their music preferences. That being said…I will listen to just about anything, and give honest opinions. it is unusual for me to prefer the cover, but this is one where I do, What is your favorite song?

I live inside my own world of make-believe Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep I love everything Fire’s spreading all around my room My world’s so bright It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright Hush Shh Tape my eyes open to force reality (oh no, no) Why can’t you just let me eat my weight in glee? I live inside my own world of make-believe Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days And some days I can’t tell if my body belongs to me I love everything Fire’s spreading all around my room My world’s so bright It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright Hush Shh I wanna taste your content Hold your breath and feel the tension Devils hide behind redemption Honesty is a one-way gate to hell I wanna taste consumption Breathe faster to waste oxygen Hear the children sing aloud It’s music ’til the wick burns out Hush Just wanna be care free lately, yeah Just kicking up daisies Got one too many quarters in my pockets Count ’em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket Untied laces, yeah Just tripping on daydreams Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep
My 2 cents The problem with being so open minded with music is that choosing just one a week to share is tough. Today I went looking for a song that reflected the confusion in my mind most of the time, the creative draw, the pain, the uncertainty… and I came across this. it made sense. so it got selected to share.

Not only am I proud of Serena’s poetry, but she has been writing this week and I have not. You can expect a Coffee House writers post from me later today though.
Can you believe it’s been three years since the first post on Functionally Fictional? It’s been an incredible few years, and I’m so grateful for this website, team, and all of those who’ve supported this endeavor along the way. To thank you, let’s do a GIVEAWAY!!
But first, some updates… The website will be restructured in the near future. Everything will pretty much work the same in terms of what we post and when, but it will hopefully be more user friendly. I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience as stuff gets moved around. There are over 500 posts and books to relocate, so it’s going to take some time, but hopefully it will be worth it!
The site might get a bit of a makeover too, as can be seen with the new logo above designed by yours truly.
