Filler Intermission on Friday, May 16
I'll be taking a day off from the story next week to give me some extra time to beef up the comic buffer. I still have a buffer to work with, but it's not as strong as I would like after a couple of particularly busy weeks. With classes ending for now and where we'll be in the story, next friday is a good time for me to do this for several reasons.
Bonus Commentary (if any)
The pamphlet in panel two says "The Greek God of Pamphlets", hence the toga. How the heck Sarah knows of Victor, let alone his pamphlets, is a question for the ages.
Catalina's entire character was basically developed backwards from this event. While planning so far ahead can be frustrating from a "are we there yet?" perspective, it can be helpful in that it allows the characters to develop into complex characters before they show up even if their initial conception was from a simple idea, such as "a girl who asks Susan out".
And yes, there is more to Catalina than calling people "jackass", which she's likely to do less of in the future due to magical literature fairies leaving a thesaurus underneath her pillow.
