Original Commentary

Isabel suggested candied tuna, I suggested bonito (which is a Japanese dried tuna flake). We rejected the first because it didn't exist, and the second because we thought most of our readers weren't familiar with it. So, tuna it was. - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Isabel was right. Candied tuna would have been funnier.

You know what else would have been funnier? If I had cut a week from the previous storyline and this ran just before Halloween instead of in early November. Not that it matters since this is re-running in June. But sometimes I think we could have used a bit more planning.- Terrence
