Ayzee (imitating Amity, with big eyes): “Wish it were my daughter, though, she would kick its butt with ease!”

Panel 2
(The echo mouse’s eyes light up and it begins projecting something)
Milan (off-panel): Woah!

Ayzee (from behind the screen): That was Philip’s journal from the library.

    This story really feels like an official episode from a sequel series that we never got. I’m excited to see where it goes.

      Honestly, I don’t know how he’s able to make these amazing comics with such interesting plots daily. I hope he gets hired to make his own published comics one day lol.
