Sir Kyle informs Reggie that Petunia and a puzzleheaded boy entered the dragon's cave but never came out. Reggie is happy that the dragon will be fed and sleepy. Kyle asks if it was a smart idea to put even more commonfolk in harm's way and Reggie corrects him that these are not commoners but CHAMPIONS who VOLUNTEERED to fight the dragon. It's all kosher and by the book!

MY STOMACH HAS REALLY BEEN BUGGING ME LATELY”. PANEL 2: A close up of the delicious coffee, beckoning. The man thinks:” Pretty much since I started making pour over and drinking MORE COFFEE.” PANEL 3: The resolute man pounds his fist into his open palm. He declares, “I should stop drinking it so much!” PANEL 4: The man sips at a mug of delicious delicious pour over and walks away. “Starting tomorrow,” he decides. Because what harm can one more do?

A let’s say creatively cropped section of a comic page from Housebreaking. In the top panel a group of dogs and their owners patiently listen to a woman say, “I know it’s tough out there but we have to stick together.” Next panels show a pair if hands grasping a dog collar and then a woman with a bruised and bandaged face. “We’ve all made sacrifices. It’s time we escalate things.”

The diamond potato has sold out
The queue page for the diamond potato saying the wait is more than 4 hours. We used to be a great country that would trample each other in a store for such deals
Owen urges Petunia to take the cans and go, thinking any deal that saves the kingdom is a good deal… only to turn around and see the dragon holding up a polo shirt with his name on it asking if he thinks it will fit. Petunia has a nervous smile

Petunia is irate that the dragon lied to her about getting the sheep back. The dragon clarifies that he *is* doing just that, except the sheep are in cans, perfect for a food shortage like the one they are experiencing now. Petunia points out that the shortage is all his fault, which the dragon sees as proof of his smarts to can all these sheep.
