Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
My planned storylines peaked at spring break, and I had a week or two left in the semester with basically nothing to do. And so I started breaking things. Out of boredom. Starting with the fourth wall.

It looks like Danny is beating himself up while Joe stands there and asks, “Are you done yet?”
For what it’s worth, Joe’s final line is legit funny.
I love how you went from this to the delicate dancing around said wall you did when Head Alien II first popped up in Shortpacked!.
I went back and re-read Robin’s first encounter with HA in Shortpacked!, and for the first time I realized that HA was speaking more to the audience than Robin. Clever girl. Guy. Amoeba. Whatever HA is.
HA is very self-important, he acts as if there were a 4th wall even though he isn’t aware on one. It’s dramatic or something. 😛
Meanwhile, Sarah just looks on and wonders why she’s in this strip.
Fanservice??
I like how in the second panel, Sarah’s right eyebrow gets lost amidst her skin lines.
(left eyebrow? Stage-left eyebrow?)
