Original Commentary

Back when Terrence was writing this one out, he asked me to pick between two lines: "I've seen his act before so that one would be harder" or "Which was the first option again?". I performed the second so away I went, completing the comic, letters and all, and sent it to Terrence to look at it. He was disappointed because he thought he had decided to go with a combination of the two lines. If he did, he never told me (and he didn't alter the script file). Ah well, water under the bridge...

In panel one, I decided to cut Richard's line in half and give half of it to his brother. Terrence had said the two "I can't believe" were supposed to show parallelism. I though this way did it two, but flowed less chunky and almost like a set-up joke.-Isabel

Modern Commentary
Past Terrence was mildly miffed that Isabel made changes to the script. This is because Past Terrence could be a bit egotistical and insist that doing things his own way was the best.

Past Terrence was wrong. The changes in panels 1 and 3 work a lot better. Things flow. The punchline has punch. It's improved all around - Terrence
