"Reddy" for the Answer? (Spoiler)

Jon notes from his conversation with Mike Reddy: "There are a lot of personal little jokes going on in this comic. Michelle, the actor that stars as Yuriko, plays a scene where she must draw out her Ke swords and swirl around and around as Mike's character, West, circles her. All along, West calls out her name, taunting her.

As we filmed the scene, Michelle had to keep pulling the swords out of the scabbards for each angle and cut. She confided in Mike that she was worried that the swords, which were just flimsy props, would come undone and fling across the set. The swords never fell apart and Michelle did not hurt Rob's (very expensive) camera, but Michelle's concern was very real."
