@lifestudent: Same here. Caught on by the second reading ;)

Darby! I love you! Bloody brilliant how you get people to identify with the characters and root for their favourite. I'm torn between Satchel (who is too CUTE for words) and Bucky (who is so HORRIBLE but all to lovable). Cannot wait for the next day's cartoon! Yahoo for you!!

OK, I get the part about it being easier to justify now. It's a *mean* poached salmon as opposed to a friendly one. I had to read it a second time to catch that. Good play there Darby.

I like how in the first panel Bucky encourages Satchel to keep talking.

Francis' expression and posture in the last panel says it all. The sudden realization of what it is to be Rob needs no words.
