Some of you seem to have missed seeing this list�the first time, so here I am linking it for you all. I came up with this style of pictoral thought balloons for a Dumbing of Age strip that I drew several weeks ago, and I really liked it, so I used it in this strip as well. �As DoA has a muuuch larger buffer than Shortpacked!, meaning the original usage hasn't shown its face yet, it's a little weird to me that this second implementation is publishing first. �Huh. (Also, I felt kind of bad leaving the end of this strip where it is, as it suggests some unfortunate implications. �Those'll get cleared up in subsequent installments. �Don't yell at me yet!)
