Oh, like there was even a question of Bridget and Alphonse showing up at some point during all this. Heck, it took all the restraint I could muster to not give them their own balloons. Also, look! Rumiko Cherry! I told you more of these characters would be turning up soon!

I have a silly confession to make about this page, though. Layla’s nitpick at the end? Yeah, I totally didn’t catch that at first. Originally, she was just mocking Tabitha for her fangirl mommyness. Then, halfway through coloring the page, I finally went “Wait, MUTE CHILDREN IN A CHOIR?” But hey, the musical bits in parades like this are all lip synched anyway.

However, in my May-Or-May-Not-Actually-Be-Official-Right-Now Headcanon, Megaweapon has a HEAVENLY singing voice. The little brat just never puts it to good use (your guess is as good as mine when or if this will ever come into play in a comic. Music jokes are hard to do in this medium.)

(Historical Notes: We’re rapidly approaching the end of Megaweapon’s original haircut, thank God.  In fact, I think this is the last time we see it in full color.)
