PANEL TWO:
SCENE: SCENE: Scene shifts to family in bathing suits at the beach.

Is that guy in the water coming to rescue the kid? Is is he an Evil Mutant Crab in disguise?
Or maybe both…….
That’s the model that Bart thought he got rid of.
*cue ominous music*
My guess is both. Even Evil Mutant Crabs feel sorry for this kid.
She’s got her man!

Was that a model ship, plane or car?
Comic-Con “less uncertain”?
That was, of course, a typo. (And a dumb one!) I’m still hoping to go to the con, but I’ve been dealing with a fair amount of pain the last few days because of a dental mishap. (Long story.) I should know by Sunday or early Monday if I’m going.
We hope you get well soon.
Thank you very much, Peter!
