WELL, this certainly took me long enough to write. This is why you don’t finish the first strip in an intended arc and then decide to pulp the subsequent scripts you thought you’d had locked upon a reread.

Drawing it was way more straightforward (albeit on a “dammitall I’m getting this done for a Friday post” rush) but it’s crazy how long it actually took for me to pen a script that was to my satisfaction that would serve its intended purpose.

Serialized narratives are fun, yay.
