I almost ran into a dead end with this comic - I knew my basic plans, but I had some structuring problems. I eventually figured it out, and now there's more dialogue than you and your mother can handle.

Sam wakes up 1-Up, who is precariously rocking on the remains of the stairs we haven't seen since comic 22. Sam uses two lame excuses (on my part) in this comic, possibly three: see if you can find them all! No, the insurance isn't part of it; that's just foreshadowing. It's now shown that Sam and Pan Pan were good friends, and that they frequently plotted against 1-Up. I'm sure if you were a janitor with orange hair or a big, round, panda thing, you'd do the same thing.

That dashed line coming from Pan Pan is meant to a substitute for thought bubbles, which you may notice I didn't use at all in this comic. Not only is it massively easier than any other type of speech/thought bubbles, it fits way better in the dark atmosphere.

Bonuses?!

Two bonuses for you with this comic. First off, a feel that all that text in the second panel ruined the really cool background I made. So, now you can see the second panel in all its different forms, with just plain text, plain background, and background without fire. Such fun! (Don't think too much into the last panel. It's just a bit of humour.)

The second bonus is something I planned to release with a previous comic, but I'd forgotten about it until now; it's a screenshot of what it's like for me when I'm making Stinkoscape comics. It's a far cry from making comics in Microsoft Paint, I'll tell you that much.
