So there were originally supposed to be a bunch of single-panel gags framed by the increasingly cracked egg. Then I discovered that I’m not very good at single-panel gags. So this was the only one.
I don’t know when or why, but at some point, Bunnyhat and I started referring to situations that went well enough by the phrase, “…and nobody had to die. At least, nobody who matters.” It’s one of those in-jokes I probably shouldn’t have inserted into the comic, but I did, so there.
