To those of you who wondered what crimes Dirk would commit, it turned out to be: trespassing.

Fun facts: Dirk snooping around in Softboy’s theater planner has actually happened before, and was mentioned in a previous comic.

The “lock” on Softboy’s planner is supposed to be a little three-digit padlock. You write the correct numbers on it with the little pencil to “unlock” it, and then erase the numbers to “lock” it again.

The “Musicals For When Chris is Old” section lists clues for two musicals that I like, but are definitely not for kids, and therefore would not be performed by the Chrisville Theater Society for quite a few years. Bonus points to whoever can guess what they are.

We’re back to the present day, and it looks like Dirk’s flashback has given him a lot to think about. But what business could he have outside of his perch?

Fun facts: Velvel Fox and Wagon Wheels are dressed as Otter chorus members for the song “Messing About in a Boat.” They come out and dance around Mole (Softboy) and Rat (Leo).

How much can a person change before they’re a different person entirely? Is the desire not to change simply the will to survive?

Fun facts: To anyone who’s wondering why there’s suddenly a Scottish bear in Chrisville, he isn’t new. That’s Jamie McBear, who made a brief appearance in this comic. This is, however, his first time speaking. Writing accents phonetically is super tricky, so I didn’t try to spell out every single sound that Jamie’s making. I just did enough so that it’s close to the way it sounds in my head, and will encourage the reader to fill in the blanks. Any mistakes can be explained through Chris (and me) being American, and therefore not being skilled when it comes to writing dialogue in other accents.

Also, to any eagle-eyed viewers who noticed that Dirk’s shirt is now different from how it was at the start of this memory…. I only noticed halfway through drawing this and had no TIME to fix it, so. Enjoy the new shirt.
