Okay, before anybody gets their hopes up, I’m just gonna squash this right here: this is the closest we’re gonna get to seeing any of the main Far Out There characters in this series.  Yeah, I’m doing stuff VERY differently this year, but darn it, I’m having fun!

Also, looking back over the dialog after having gone ahead and finished several more pages before going back to queue everything in one blast, I feel like part of the intended joke might have gotten lost.  I wanted there to be an unspoken implication that people only showing up to try and work their way off The Naughty List are deliberately being given the most dreary, mind-numbing, borderline impractical jobs possible.  Like, they’re not wanted anywhere near the more important jobs, but also that jobs like this would only exist in the first place because so many Naughty folk are showing up willing to do literally ANYTHING.  That last bit in particular is probably waaay too obtuse to come across without somebody just flat out saying it… so I just flat out said it.
