Commentary
- "You absolutely should talk to her about magic."
And so the final page of 2024 is one in which not a single cookie rains from the sky.
Unless someone DID see this comic coming, in which case, holy carp, how did you do that?!
Plans
Planned since the beginning of this arc: Susan having that moment with Larry, and it escalating from there with appreciation of her talking about change.
Not planned since the beginning of this arc: This specific reveal.
I wanted Susan to excitedly text Elliot. Then I wanted Elliot to view the text as Cheerleadra, as I thought that would be neat.
But I also wanted Elliot to be having fun on Friday night, so out with Ashley, but then it made sense for the Cheerleadra form to not look like Cheerleadra (which Elliot can do).
And THAT'S when the thought of "Liz should be there" came up.
I wasn't sure whether I wanted to do this reveal. Then I thought of how many gosh dang things I want to have happen in this comic, and the fact that, canonically, Liz had already figured it out.
After that, it barely felt like a choice.
