Creator Notes:

Lumiose City was recently unveiled as a playable stage on the Smash Bros site, and I have to say, it immediately brought back bad memories of stumbling around this confusing town on the 3DS, with its wonky camera and similar-looking pathways. This strip uses some skewed angles and a lack of establishing shots to maximize the confusion factor going on.

Thanks to everyone last week for their kind wishes about Terra! I’m aiming to finally get to all the emails and messages this week. I hope I didn’t make anyone too sad–the point of the strip was more of a celebration of the love of pets rather than trying to just get folks upset. At any rate, it’s back to normal comics for now!

In this image, I did what I should’ve done a long time ago and made the URL banner transparent instead of yellow. That’s the magic of PNGs!
