The Agencies #3
Issue released February 2003.

Here we are introduced to many main characters of The Agencies universe in Issue #3. Mirth makes another appearance and we are introduced to Agent Starlight and Agent Deadline. This time around the girls are assigned to infiltrate a group of cheerleaders and confront the double agent among them. Sounds fun.

It's also kind of interesting because we see Agent Deadline before she officially became an agent, the only book that shows this! Both Deadline and Mirth are non-agents at this point, with Agent Starlight leading the 3-woman strike team. Deadline was fresh out of the Academy at this point in the story, and Mirth had been a mercenary doing jobs with these agents for a few years; the agency was trying to recruit her heavily. Before she accepted a position at the agency, her sister Karma swooped in and...well...that's another issue

This issue was penciled and inked by Soojin, the first female artist we'd worked with on a full comic issue. Soojin had at that time an incredible knack of drawing the female form. I can safely say before Issue #7, Soojin's interpretations of our main characters was my favorite. Her versions of Deadline and Mirth were just amazing.

Mirth looked back at Katie, curious to see the girl's reaction. Katie had just graduated from the Academy, a fresh recruit on her way to becoming the newest Agent. Before she could earned that coveted title, Mirth wanted to see what the girl was made of.

She slowly peeled off the white cotton sock from Katie's foot, noticing with some amusement the foot twitch at the peeling. She hadn't even tickled her yet.

Without hesitation, Mirth slowly started stroking Katie's foot with her nails, causing an immediate reaction out of the former cheerleader and gymnast. Katie started bucking wildly against the wrist ties, desperate to escape. She let out a series of girlish giggles, with a tortured cry for mercy sprinkled in every few seconds for good measure.

Ignoring the laughter and cries for mercy, Mirth just giggled and kept raking her nails in irregular patterns on the sole and in between Katie's toes. The blonde twisted and turned, giggled and laughed, but never once swore or lost her patience. She was a true American sweetheart, such actions even in the face of adversity were pitted directly against her kind nature.

Hair tussled, breath uneven, and eyes frantic, Katie looked sideways at Mirth. The tickling stopped, if even for just a moment. Caught before the maelstrom, she seized the opportunity to regain her energy.

"Had enough," Mirth curiously mused.

"Not even close," Katie retorted, ready for a second wave of forced laughter to wrack her tiny frame.

"Have it your way."

The Agencies #4
Issue released July 2003.

The girls are back! In Issue #4 we see the return of Agent Deadline, Agent Starlight, and Mirth. I wanted to show a mission gone wrong. The girls are hired for hi-jinx against a local corp, and are caught in the act. Needless to say, the corp doesn't appreciate their intrusions, and ticklishness follows.

This is the first time we meet Kedrick, aka Agent Spectre. He becomes Agent Starlight's boyfriend shortly after this issue (which becomes the focus of Issue #6). His powers aren't exactly detailed, but it is widely believed he is able to harness the power of invisibility, added to limited teleportation abilities. He simply appears wherever he wishes. Agent Spectre is introduced to the series by responding to Agent Starlight's distress call, then proceeding to tickle her outstretched foot, which causes her to pull her gun on him.

This was a fun issue. There was a large amount of foreshadowing in the first page of this issue. Agent Starlight has dreams. They're often disturbing and difficult to interpret...but in the end, they're always right. In the first page she has a dream about Mirth. Mirth approaches her smiling, asking her if there are any problems. Through her smiles, Mirth brandishes a knife behind her back. So obviously a foreshadowing of the events that will take place in Issue #7 and beyond, when her good friend Mirth is turned to the dark side by Karma. Once good friends will see each other on the opposite end of a rather large power struggle.

Other than the dream, no real storyline, just a sense of the camaraderie among our agents and good chemistry between Agent Starlight and Kedrick. It has a cute scene of desperation in which Mirth must hold onto a bar while being tickled, else Agent Deadline suffers a terrible fate for a blonde cheerleader with ticklish feet.

There is also a little side story at the end of the issue that doesn't really have a bearing on anything. Karma is hired to destroy some documents illegally. He storms a local law office and tickle tortures the receptionist into revealing where the documents are hidden. None of this is explained in the issue, but Karma is gearing up for her war, and is taking lucrative jobs from wherever she can to help fund the war effort.

The artwork here is highly stylized, and I really appreciated the artist's ability to cleanly ink his own artwork. Although this is the only issue of The Agencies he did, I also hired him to do the artwork for The Cyriaan Chronicles #4.

Mirth gritted her teeth, trying desperately to resist that tiny, diabolic feather inch its way across her bikini line. She twisted violently, let out a couple gutteral noises, and refused to give in to her tormentors urges.

The two guys just laughed at her predicament. She got what was coming to her. A foreign spy, infiltrating their employers' offices for who knows what. They had to hold her for a couple hours, so why not have some fun with it?

The spy came to them unconscious, so they did whatever two bored network security specialists would do at 2am in the morning when an unconscious, beautiful spy lands in their metaphorical laps. They removed her pants, shirts, boots, and created a sadistic game for her.

She had to hold onto a bar raised above her head. If she didn't, something terrible would happen to the other spy they captured, a blonde. Mirth, not wanting to betray the trust the Agency had placed in her, refused to let go.

At first the cold water came and she refused. Then the bastards starting putting ice cubes down her bra and panties. Despite her screams and profanity laced rants, she held out through four ice cubes.

The two whispered by themselves for a moment in the corner of the room. Mirth just glared at them, to angry to come up with an appropriate response. They had an inhibitor in the room, so she couldn't even use her vibration powers to save herself. It was a maddening situation.

They approached, grinning ear to ear. What next? Mirth's eyes widened as two pairs of hands started awkwardly groping and prodding her ribs. She shut her eyes tightly and squirmed, refusing to give them a reaction.

One of the pair of hands was soon replaced by a couple of feathers. This sensation drove her mad. They explored her entire midsection, causing her to twitch lightly at their touch. While shutting the feathers out, Mirth was not prepared for the return of the second pair of hands, which started violating her underarms.

Mirth lost it.

Mirth exploded in a round of frenzied laughter as the two broke down her will. She started begging for them to stop, desperate to continue holding onto the bar above her. The more she danced and laughed, the more eager the two became.

Agent Deadline lay nearby, barefoot, blindfolded, and terrified. She knew Mirth would let go of the bar. But for her, she couldn't move, she couldn't talk, she couldn't stop whatever horror would befall her. The blonde simply sat, heart racing, watching Mirth suffer unrelenting tickle torture, and knowing she was next.

The Agencies #5
Issue released February 2004.

Barnone, my favorite issue of the early issues (defined as The Agencies #1-6). Martin Vire is the artist here and brings such a simple sexiness to the characters here.

We meet Miss Rachel Ghost in this issue (she is an agent, her official callsign is Agent Ghost). And, as it turns out, her roommate, also named Rachel. In an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, the folks whom Miss Rachel Ghost stole from take her roommate by mistake. Hey, it happens!

So our heroine suits up and goes to rescue her roommate, which doesn't quite go like she planned. Miss Rachel Ghost also appears later in The Agencies #10.

I like Miss Rachel Ghost, and she promises to show up more frequently in future issues (after she escapes from Karma's dungeons of course). She controls the power of gravity. This allows her to partially fly by creating zero G fields. She can also hinder enemies and turn herself invisible by bending light rays around herself (hence the callsign Ghost!). She's a cute, neat character, one I've underutilized in the stories so far.

On the issue itself, this was the first full color comic we offered in our catalog. Martin did an incredible job on both the inks and the colors. I was very happy with how this one turned out. And for the early issues, this one was also a fan favorite as well. It's also the first issue in which we introduce the concept of implied nudity during a tickling session. When Rachel's tennis rival Anya first finds Rachel, Rachel is topless and assume to have been worked out a little like this before Anya ever steps in the room. We don't show any partial nudity in this issue, but we dip our toe for the first time here.

William adjusted the hose a couple times, tapping impatiently and cursing under his breath. Suddenly, the hose jerked just the slightest bit, sending a spurt of water spitting violently and with great velocity onto Rachel's sensitive soles.

Rachel screamed and jumped as much as her bonds allowed. The stream of water tickled worse than anything else she could imagine. She groaned and twisted, trying to wriggle out of the wrist restraints that bound her arms behind her.

As soon as it started, the water stream stopped. William swore loudly, pounding on the console to find the source of the interruption. These kinds of tortures never went as planned. Budget costs were the bane of his operations, as were ignorant superiors who didn't believe making Asian girls scream with tortured laughter was an effective interrogation technique.

The third pounding of William's fist caused the machine to light up again in brilliant blues and yellows. With an exuberant squeal of glee, William sat down to again retake the torture device into his hand.

This girl was different, he was told.

William was told this one had stolen a couple of items that were thought to be under the tightest security measures available. His employers were going to look foolish when they had to explain to investors how the items were stolen. They didn't like looking foolish. This girl was different. She had to be made an example of. The camera was rolling, and she was strapped down to a medical chair.

Once they realized she was crazy ticklish after the pencil test, William immediately brought in the large water jet. Empowered, he giggled as he took aim.

William pulled the trigger and watched with euphoric avarice as Rachel screamed, writhed in agony and laughed. Oh, that sweet, sublime laughter! She was an angel in red, packaged with a voice of a goddess and sweetly ticklish to an absurd degree. Her feet twitched, twisted, and scrunched with futility as the water jet sent random waves of water between her toes, on the balls of her feet, and wherever William willed it to go.

Rachel screamed again, broken, crying, and laughing. It was beautiful.

The Agencies #6
Issue released March 2004.

I like this issue quite a bit, even though it's probably one of the more forgettable titles in The Agencies catalog.

This is a sweet little story of Agent Starlight enjoying romantic tickling with her boyfriend Agent Spectre. She comes home from the Agency one day and he surprises her with handcuffs and tickle games. That's honestly all there is to the story.

But it's a fun little distraction in a sea of tickle torture. Sometimes it's nice to put on the brakes and have fun with the issues.

We explored this branch of tickling with the Yelena series, but not so much with The Agencies. We may yet have another issue at some point that shows the more sensual side of our shared interest. The Agencies #17 was just penned and has quite a bit of accidental romantic tickling in it, more than we usually have in this line. So that was fun to revisit (and perhaps revisit again in future issues if readers liked it).

There are two important things to note about this issue.

First, and perhaps most important, this is our first trip into nudity of any kind. Agent Starlight is topless in this issue, portrayed in a very tasteful manner. She's a favorite character of our's, and nowhere else does she appear topless in our series (little bit of trivia for you). Although there are two scenes of implied nudity in The Agencies #8 with Agent Starlight, nothing is shown in that issue. At any rate, with that milestone out of the way, we have ventured into crazy territory since that time in a variety of issues across the board. But you have to start somewhere, and that 'somewhere' was this issue.

Second, this was the last issue before The Agencies became a serial comic book. It's the last standalone issue. Sad, in a way, but these first 6 issues really felt like a warm-up of sorts. I learned a lot about producing tickle torture comics in this time period in the comic's history, and wouldn't trade that for anything. By the time the next issue released, we were ready to start weaving an epic tickling tale.

Kedrick smiled, and shifted his weight ever so slightly on the bed. Laying on top of him, thrashing and giggling wildly was the love of his life, Nicole.

His patient fingers drifted effortly among the ribs. Firm to cause reaction; gentle of avoid pain of use.

Nicole kept twisting and laughing, laughing and squirming under his patient assault. He kept quiet, finding it harder and harder to hide the effect her writhing on him was having.

Wrists tied, body heaving, fevered laughing, Nicole was accidently rubbing against his bulge, over and over. She hadn't even fully realize the impact of her writhing curves until after they were done.

But now, in this moment, alone, they were left with her laughter and his lust. His desire to see this beautiful girl lose herself, lose ridgity, lose everything, and just be with him armed with her laughter.

And she laughed. How Nicole laughed as he teased her belly button, skittered playfully along her hips, and cause her to shake uncontrollably as he feathered her hardened nipples.

For this moment, she was not Agent Starlight. She was not the tough girl in her family, she was not Tiffany's protective big sister. She was not an Agent with untapped power.

She was Kedrick's girlfriend, and she was very ticklish.

It's all good. Yup, we have 4 more to go!

Oh my God.

Do you sell prints? If I had the money I would pay to have #6 on my wall. Plz more like that!!!

The remaining four are nice pieces, too. Hopefully you'll like them.

We hadn't really considered selling prints. We used to sell hard copy editions of our books alongside their digital counterparts, but haven't done so in a rather long time.
