There's so many things to reference that I'm putting the actual commentary first.
The "HAIR!" sound effect is a bit of a compromise. I wanted the page to begin with the top of Sarah's head, but that doesn't show a "before" state for her hair, so "HAIR!" is there to make it absurdly obvious that hair magic is happening.
Also, sound effects like that amuse me.
