Subconsciously realizing the previous two strips would be murder incarnate, I cheaped out on layouts for this one and the next. In fact in the original layouts, I'd really cheaped out - Whitehouse had closed the curtain, his hair being the only character art. While a blatant render reuse still feels kinda like cheating, I do feel better having spiced it up a bit. I can't see this much dialogue fitting into a pair of strips otherwise.
