Terrible story, I finished this comic and zoomed out only to find I accidentally deleted a layer somewhere in the middle of working on it without realizing. Thankfully it only took about 20 minutes to redo, but I haven’t been delayed by scares like that for a while. And by a while I mean maybe a week or two. At least I got to save the Maid’s butt as the last thing I got to finish drawing on this page while working in reverse order.

The bearded man can get you any clothes you like, as long as you like hoodies.
To be fair, most everyone likes hoodies.
His van carries the back stories of many, as is typical for vans since they can hold a lot of things.
I retract my previous comment. The Maid’s new threads look just as good on her as the Folklorist uniform did. Plus, the change of clothes gave us panel 2, so… bonus!
Side note: once again, “won’t” requires an apostrophe in panel 9. You can even put two (wo’n’t) if you’re feeling old-fashioned, but “wont” is a different word entirely.
I spell it “wont”. You can’t stop me, no matter how many potatoes you invoke!
Nope, the potato was me, got bored with it and stopped.
I indeed cannot keep you from spelling it as is your wont,[1] so go ahead, Humpty Dumpty.[2] Should you find yourself in a context where spelling counts, though, I would keep in mind that the only correct spelling of the contracted form of “will not” is “won’t”. And I hope you’re happy, because every time I see it spelled the wrong way now it’ll bother me terribly.[3] There’s glory for you![4]
1. Yes, that phrasing was intentional.
2. A reference to the character in Alice Through the Looking-Glass, who states, “When I use a word, it means just what I chose it to mean.”
3. Won’tCD count: 2
4. By “glory”, I mean a nice knockdown argument.[5]
5. Another reference to the same chapter[6] of Alice Through the Looking-Glass.
6. Chapter Six,[7] if you’re curious
7. Amusing how that worked out with the footnote[8] numbering.
8. Footnotes!
