Commentary
I think this one was 100% written by Bapper.
The panel layout was back to landscape mode, and the drawing style was closer to how I was drawing Bastich, although I was trying mightily to control my habit of cross-hatching everything.
Mtn. Dewd's CHEF T-shirt is a nod to South Park, which was still a brand new show in 1998 (nobody would have guessed it would still be relevant in 2026).
The toolkit labeled "TEK KIT 2" is a reference to the fighting game Tekken 2.
