And here's where he said he'd run out of ideas for Brun. Entirely fair, but I feel like I'd only just gotten used to having her around.
Anyway, now that I've got all the info in my head at once, I'm ready to agree that Emily is the most likely familiar weirdo to return as Claire's new researcher.
I hope he doesn't just come up with a new person. I like continuity.

Okay, I was right, Sven used to look more distinct from Angus and Will and Steve. Not sure if it's the haircut, or Jeph's art style developing in a way that makes male characters less distinct and everyone else more distinct.

Back to our regularly scheduled story.
I guess the wedding gets its own time island, because we've jumped forward to Marten's cafe in Cubetown being open for business, sort of.
Notice it's named Mood, which is Doom backward.

Steve GisselbrechtWhen I first read it, I thought it must refer to organisms that get their toxins from what they eat. (Like monarch butterflies.) But there are no hits for the term in pubmed or google scholar, which makes me think it's not used academically.
Canageek@WizardOfDocs I mean, he did work at a library, I imagine you notice when all the sudden you're stalking a bunch of extra copies of a bestseller
That best sellers are a controversial topic among libraries, because they tend to be very popular for a short period of time, so if you get enough copies to deal with the rush, all the sudden, you're throwing out five extra copies of it a year later...
@WizardOfDocs I think it's a two-bedroom, Pintsize got Martin and Claire's room when they moved out.
@Canageek oh riiight
That makes sense
That makes sense
Irenes (many)@WizardOfDocs also the matching punchline was quite something
@ireneista was this "you never said you stopped dissociating"?
@WizardOfDocs yep! :D
@WizardOfDocs it really cracked us up, due to its resonance with personal experience...
