I actually really enjoy doing the panels like this. It gives a little more freedom.

Why do they make "pop" and "sizzle" noises when they get normalified? Just wait for the next two comics on the "pop" part. The "sizzle" I'm chalking up to a big "because I feel like it." I mean, seriously, it feels like an apropriate sound effect.

I'm sad to say that I will not, in fact, be breaking the 50 comic mark with this arc unless I change the script. Hoever, there will be 24 comics in this arc, which makes it more than the length of the first two combined. Yay somewhat long chapters.
