The room is about as quiet as Mink is so I suppose it matches Mink's personality well.
As for the rest of the background halls, they look nice and well done.

mink always struck me as more of a fluffy bunny kinda squiggle than a clown squiggle...

Aaaahhhhh!

Clowns aren't so bad, Just because the movie "It" and "Killer Clowns From Outer Space" ruined them for everyone and they jump around tending to scare the little children with their strange looks and antics....... :rolleyes

I bet when Abel was talking about cubi going to a hospital dressed as a clown, he was referring about Mink.

I saw "It" at a young age... that forever ruined clowns for me.
I feel for Dan, I would forgo sleep in 2 seconds after seeing that room.

I'm beginning to think that cubi must be fundamentally different to being's, even without the psychical need to sleep you would think days, months, years,centuries of continual conciousness would wear a person down, possibly driving them mad. Guess having a short attention span helps.

Ha. Haaaa. Oh wow.

DMFA's always been funny and has given me many a chuckle and a grin, but that is the first time I have actually laughed out loud at a DMFA update in a long time. It was the expression that sold it. xD

Wow, this is so much a worst case scenario!

I mean, is it actually possible to get worse?
Maybe a bed made out of steel, a floor covered with green slime and an eternally dripping water-tap.

No, that wouldn't be worse I guess.

Dan's afraid of clowns? I did not see that coming...not that I can blame him with the room being decorated like that.

And is that Marx from "Kirby Super Star" hanging at the top of the wall there?

I could just see the next line.

"Your mom designed it for me!  It was so kind of her to give me something so happy and bright and clownery!"



Of course, looking at the room, and then realizing what living in it *for centuries* (if not sleeping) might do to a mind...

Another thought, it could explain very well why Mink 'oversleeps' while doing the research for the Cubi Clan leaders.

Couple of other thoughts come to mind.

Could this be a test to see *how nice* Dan really is?  Mink doesn't *seem* to be the sort to do that kind of thing, but squiggle *is* a cubi, after all...

Further,  could it be a test by Fa'lina to see what buttons Dan has to press, since she knows *everything* that happens at SAIA?

I think I laughed for ten seconds straight when I read the last panel.  X3

I'm thinking the clown thing may be a reference to this (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_524.php).  In fact, if you think about it, Abel may as well be describing Mink and Aary respectively.

Heh, Mink's got the Jin-clan mark on their door.  I wonder what kind of reason is behind that?  I mean, is it fairly common practice (at least for some clans), or does Mink get special privileges?

I believe we must learn to respect and fear the squiggly
but then again who can despise somebody who lives in a room like that?

Well, Mink was a bit scared upon first hearing that Dan was Destania's son..He likely never thought/ expected something so 'innocent' as clowns could instill fear in one of Cyra's clan..So yeah, probably just a byproduct of squiggly randomness..

That said, Dan's expression against that background..priceless  :mwaha

Noshabkeming and Klono defend us, that room... that room!  AIEEEEE!!!  :erk

The last two panels are priceless.  Mink is so happy to be showing off his room, and Dan's reaction is perfect.  Keep this up, Mink, and you'll have him molting.  His feathers are already standing on end.  I've seen his fur stand up, but I think this is a first for the feathers.  I can just see the next comic, after Dan's spent a night or two in That Room.  He'll have a nice, padded room all to himself, next to that other poor fellow.

I'd guess it's probably fairly standard practice. Sort of like having a name tag on the outside of the door.

Maybe it'll be the kick he needs to quit sleeping.  Then again, I want to see Cyra's face if he connects to her while lying on that bed.

Y'know... the more I look at the comic, the more I notice: Dan's face, in the first panel? Reminds me an aweful lot of some of the expressions in Code Name: Hunter, something I've never seen before in Amber's work.
Not that it's a /bad/ thing, just interesting is all...

It's a stretch, but there's always the "Don't make him angry. You won't like him when he's angry." angle.
