I, Gunwild (although nominally the writer of this comic, and the one who writes the scripts) fully admit that this arc was largely made up of ideas that originated with Psu.
However, having that dried-out old flower still be in Beebot's tummy was m...

This is an alternative version of the 1/23/2017 update with all the same dialogue, but the addition of Beebot's "internal monologue" of sorts. It was decided that there wasn't really room to fit it comfortably in the resolution we have on the website...

Gunwild: Probably people reading this can determine that Cassiopeia is Lum from Urusei Yatsura. Zeke's costume is a bit subtler, what with him not having a face.

You lovely patrons who've been kickin' in, your reward is here! Its a little later than last month, owing to the complexity of including two characters, and the level of, um, polish... but hopefully you'll agree it was worth it.
