Aw, bacula, three hours exposed to sunlight across a week and I have freckles again.
========================================
also of bloat: a rambunctious gang of colorful images you’ve possibly seen before.

Good dag to you, behold and be abhorring page 8 of that. See if you can spot every missed opportunity for background shenanigans! Maybe it will be different when page nine comes around. For now my fingers are feeling less than dexterous.
The lizard’s predicament is different than it was on the previous page. I like the appearance of that way but it did not lend itself well to redraws. Eight-and-a-half years ago I had tied two socks together and drawn from that. Two months ago I didn’t feel like mixing two socks again. This month I did, so we’re back to that. I considered amending the page seven appearance to match the socks but it doesn’t look as interesting, and I just noticed the size doesn’t match either, so fleedle bidle budle. And then the usual trouble with space allotment. This process needs to change!
Those other frames I remember drawing, but for a reason I cannot recall I did not use them in the old version. Nor can I find scans of them apart from this one that I once used on a web page entirely out of context back when I was using a computer that I guess I had the scans saved on its drive. This is all probably very unimportant.
Mxy sez:
Well!
“We are sorry but access to this resource is currently forbidden. If you are trying to access what you believe is a valid page or file on this site, please contact the administrators for further assistance.”
I tried to inspect the second picture more closely to see if the man in it was King Quest (no relation to Johnny, who isn’t royalty as far as I know), and I got that message there. I didn’t know this was serious enough to require asking for assistance, but a computer screen said so so now I’m worried.
A total feevis sez:
Apparently giant Muffineater enjoys standing in fire. There’s no accounting for taste, I suppose. In any case, Muffineater’s imaginings probably make for a smoother transition to the recap of Astonishing Tales From Beyond the Muffin # 12 (smoother than an entire page of Super Mario World level-start-style pixelation, in any case), as well as providing a more dramatic introduction for Hat.
Speech bubbles with speech bubbles…a bold innovation, but I fear we thereby put ourselves at risk of an infinite regression. Be careful.
Come to think of it, I’m surprised that “BEWARE OF POG” did not appear in the comic earlier. Mind, now it has appeared early in the comic, if admittedly in a retroactive manner. Time would seem to be a malleable thing.

Concerning the other assorted drawrings, I see that that in the King Graham image, the Pepsi has indeed transformed into a beet (as Pepsis all too often do). Alas, the the link to the larger image does not appear to function, denying us the beety details. I must also note that I find it quite alarming that there is apparently someone out there who has sympathy for dopes. There’s far too little sympathy in the world as is, and we do ourselves a great disservice to squander what little we have on dopes, of all things. There are far more deserving individuals out there.
A feverish bowl of Total raisin brain sez:
Oh yes, Mr. Y, make my beetservations redundant, why don’t you? Very magnanimous. That’s the last time I abandon a comment half-way through writing and neglect to return for several hours…
Rabivit sez:
Gentlemen, I have no idea what you are talking about. That link works just fine.
Mxy: Obviously your claims are hogwash, because there’s no way any site I made would be so apologetic about its failure!
Feevie: The transition won’t be any better. In fact it may be worse because I can’t think of a good way to switch between a fantasy to a memory, and so I will need to return to “reality” and blink out again. Maybe that’s why I removed it the first time? That’s just the sort of bold, simplifying editorial decision one would expect from a comic author who forced in an entire page of a car driving around with boring dialog to have an excuse to replace one frame’s background with Super Mario Brothers scenery that would be hard to pose normal characters against.
Bowl: Don’t say that. Never give up on the things you enjoy.
