Original Commentary

This is the happiest I think I've ever drawn Sofia looking (well, within the web comics, anyway...). Sofia isn't really a "pet" person, but she seems to be a "Brent" person. It just hasn't been poor Brisbane's day; it looks like he's losing his little bitey friend. I'm sure once his hands heal up, he'll get over it. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
"and everything coincidentally works out for everybody" isn't a punchline you can use all the time, but it's one of my favorites.

I'll try to keep track and see if it comes up again. In some genres of story, you know the good guys are going to win and the dramatic tension involves suspension of disbelief. You know, for example, that The Muppets are going to come out mostly alright in a Muppet movie.

But we just had Brisbane and Kimberly break up for a few months, so there's no guarantees here now.- Terrence
