TRANSCRIPT:
Marvin: Hello again.
Many of you out there were offended by the politically - charged nature of one of our recent strips.
Jeez, guys. It's a comic strip. It's suppose [sic] to be funny. Honestly. It makes us wonder if we'll ever be able to return to business as usual.
Collin: Now, Marvin...
Marvin...
Now Marvin....
Now Marvin.......
már •vín.
hmmm...
IT'S A SPONDEE!
A SPONDEEEE*!
Marvin, thinking: Business as usual...
(*Editor's Note: The word Marvin is actually a Trochee. We just think that "Spondee" is more fun to say.)

NOTES:
   Creative writing class, forms of metric feet. Spondee really is quite a funny word, so, eh, why not? It really is more fun to say than "trochee." First appearance of the Editor, very nice, that's going to be important later. And you can really see me get into my later, smoother style with the artwork here, as opposed to the flatter artwork of previous strips.

   Also, didja catch the visual pun in the way I wrote my name there? Per-A-zzo. I'm not sure if that was intentional (probably not?) but, you're welcome very much.
