Transcript: Mayara sits on the doodle monster's nose for the whole comic. The doodle character has loopy ears inspired by a doodle and a large, shapely nose. Mayara: Why are your ears like that? Doodle creature: No reason. Mayara: Do you mind me sitting on your nose? Doodle creature: No, why would I? Mayara: I think we're gonna be friends. Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela and Sandra M. Odell.

Transcript: Liz is wearing her Aikido gi and hakama (Japanese formal wear that looks like an awesome pleated skirt). Liz: Why do I feel so terrible and itchy? Caption: Being hypermobile means that symptoms are sometimes repressed. If you injure something and don’t lose range of motion it can be tricky figuring out what’s going on. It can feel like this... A small spider crawls up onto Liz’s hakama. Liz: Oh look, a spider! Liz pulls up her hakama to reveal two legs entirely covered in spiders. Liz: It’s all spiders!! Liz‘s hakama is back in place. Her hand brushes the one visible spider away from her foot. Liz: Well, at least I know why I’m itchy.

Comic Transcript: Thing 1 has lots of rays coming in at them. Thing 1 has even more rays coming in at them. Pop! Thing 1 has exploded into lots of little pieces. Thing 1 is a jumbled mess of pieces pulling itself together. Thing 1 has pulled some of itself up, but on of its eyes is falling off the agglomeration of broken pieces. Thing 1 catches its falling eye and looks itself in the eye. Thing 1: We got this. Thing 2: How are you? Thing 1: I broke, and now I’m sad. Thing 1: How did I let this happen? Thing 1: I hate I was so weak. Thing 2: What if you breaking wasn’t a sign of weakness, but a symptom of having been strong for so long.
