Yes, it ends in this eye-laser stalemate that goes on for like two hours. (Then the Pelican Cello and the Tri-Hat Orca simultaneously get bored and wander off to get some lunch, but that’s really the start of a different story.)

Fun fact: the narration in this one is probably the most autobiographical thing that’s ever shown up in Mountain Time.

UPDATE

As I’ve spent most of the week moving into a new apartment (with a trip to the DMV as a bonus), Thursday’s strip is a little behind schedule.
