David: Yeah, this day really has just gone to the dogs..

Lucy: Aww, I’m sorry.. it’s a dog eat dog world out there..
*Mike stares at Lucy in the background, blushing.*

Author commentary

Veronica: When I first drew this chapter, I was told that Paulo looked.. different.. and yeah, he does.. since he’s wet. That’s why his whiskers are hanging down, due to the weight of the droplets. I feel this actually encouraged me to make Paulo’s whiskers stick out more.. if you look at really old comics, he doesn’t have those really sprout out at all.

(Not as relevant anymore given these pages are redrawn so Paulo’s whiskers are always included — Unless I make a mistake. But an interesting factoid of the past I want to keep in this commentary!)
