Chilly!
OH SNAP IT'S DECEMBER!
TEDD HAS THEIR OLD HAIRSTYLE!
SARAH PRESUMABLY DOESN'T HAVE A MARK!

I had a dental appointment that lasted much longer than expected, but they were able to get the process started on replacing a damaged crown today (which I had NOT expected), and I felt I absolutely should just go for it.

The shocking conclusion!
I consider this storyline canon, but I also consider declaring it canon antithetical to the storyline itself?
As though putting the cannon-canon down here would cause it to implode or something?
Whatever. I'm saying it's...

There's one comic left in this storyline. Please do not set anything on fire until then.
Or after then, ideally, but at least not until then.
An unexpected side effect of this storyline is that I am noticing things that ...

ANOTHER reason to not directly reference the Star Wars books is, having not read them all, panel one could be wrong for all I know.
