YAY! SO MANY CHARACTERS WE LIKE! (and, um, a few we don’t like all that much)

And what’s more, QUESTIONS. Why did Tabitha’s mom stay behind when everyone else had to evacuate the planet? Better yet, if everyone else had to evacuate, HOW could she stay? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

Fun fact: I have no idea what a “tear in the electron scaffolding” is. That’s just part of the technobabble backstory to Cinematic Titanic. Shout outs are fun.

(Historical Notes: We’re slowly inching nearer and nearer to the “official” first comic appearance of Tabitha’s new design!  Up from Voting Incentives to one-off holiday pages to a full holiday story, it really took a while for her to make it to regular comics, didn’t it?  Speaking of new looks, I’d forgotten how long it took Jenna’s final hairstyle to become permanent, it’s still cowlick-free at this point.)
