That expression on panel 6 HR gets me every time. “I just…I just wanted to give another big villain speech.” Even now, even now, he’s still trying to force the Arkerran Five into a narrative that justifies his sense of his own importance, and they are just. Not. Having. It.

I’m glad we got one more “KA-___” sound effect in as we wrapped things up. That was probably my fav of our early running gags.

FB:

“If I can just get that promotion,” thinks the office worker…

“If I can just get a girlfriend,” thinks the teenager…

“If I can just become an eldritch, realm-consuming abomination,” thinks the CEO…

“…everything in my life will be under control, and I’ll never have to worry again.”
