Poking Around Pt 123 (Patreon)

I got a bit carried away with how much I wanted to draw panels wise, so this got stretched out a bit.  Who would’ve thought an advert for a fan-modification would prove to be the inspiration I needed to clear out the traffic jam?  And not gonna lie, this was rather cathartic to draw, ha.  Still, it’s nothing to lose a gasket over; each to their own, right?   I’ll leave the majority alone for you to recognise, but some TL notes below for the more obscure stuff I’ve slipped in.

TL Notes

• ‘Cats n’ the Delay-dle’:  Riffing on the saying ‘the cat’s in the cradle’. It is used to describe relationships in which one party is usually too busy to make time for another and was popularised by Harry Chapin’s song from 1974.
• “Aloha”: Though loosely translated as ‘hello’, ‘aloha’ holds a far deeper meaning for native Hawaiians; it encompasses warmth, goodwill and the positive unquantifiable immeasurable attributes of communal existence.
• “Matsuiiiii”: A non-too-subtle reference to the author of this series, Yusei Matsui.
• “We’re epic…”: A reference to this entry returning for another series, but the song I was thinking of was this one.
