I am very much a cartoonist from the school of “every panel has a punchline” writing. This is largely a side effect of making (mostly) weekly strips for so long. So, if this were a strip that ran more days a week, this would likely have been broken up into a few separate gags over a few days, with each panel’s punchline being THE punchline of its own strip.

That said, the strip is still generally weekly until more folks start backing it on Patreon, so I like to get all the possible gags in. lol
