A bit tangential, but there was a sketchbook yesterday: "Wrong Remote". There will also be a sketchbook on Thursday the 25th!

Since I've brought up the schedule, two pages remain in Part 4 of the story (at least one of which includes a cat). The next part after that will begin on Wednesday, the 31st.

EGSNP has two more comics (Saturday and Tuesday) before it, too, takes a Christmas break. It will then return Tuesday, the 30th. 

- Possibly informative scene from Hope in which Mist makes a request of Saou

- First scene with Voltaire in this arc (and first time properly seeing Saou as an uryuom)

- Previous scene with these three (the second page is where Voltaire says "cats are good")

I've had many different versions of Saou in my head over the years. I've imagined him as being idealistic and naïve in the past, but then I started thinking more about his past and why he was doing this, and, well...

No.

Saou is neither of those things.
