 And we have a wasp story. And a returning artist. And a downright odd transition - if this is right after the other comic, why didn't Caleb mention the wasp earlier? If it isn't, why is Brisbane still talking about his jokes? It's because I started out having everything happen right after each other; it took me a while to have time pass between strips and even longer for me to get time to pass between panels.
 I'm 6'2. I wanted Brisbane to be short, so that people wouldn't think I was putting myself into my comic. He wound up average height regardless. Anyhow, Brisbane no longer went to school in Berlin.
 In retrospect, this isn't such a bad concept. In the hands of a clever satirist, this could've been really good. However, 'this comic is more like a different comic' isn't really workable when you've got a different artist every week. But yes, Caleb is amazingly well-informed about all things in the theatre, and clueless about everything else. Fortunately, the wasps count as "inside".
 Giant reality-distorting wasps that call everyone "Mister" and have foreign letters on their foreheads. This one makes things more like B.C. Unfortunately, all I really had to say about it was that it was the same half-dozen jokes over and over again. That charge could be levelled at a lot of long-running newspaper comics, and there wasn't much point repeating it against each one of them individually.
 That first panel just looks awesome, doesn't it.
 Yes, Caleb would've gone through all this just for the sake of throwing Brisbane into a bag.
