Original Commentary

As has been mentioned previously, Brisbane doesn't have much in the way of hobbies. He fixes simple electronics and reads. He'll probably spend at least some of his time off playing Final Battle Adventure On-Line - Terrence

Modern Commentary
It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony.

I don't blame him for preferring to spend time with Kimberly rather than the Lounge Guys though... - Terrence

Original Commentary

At the end of Unlike Minerva, there was an image of Kimberly in a red wedding dress very similar to the one she's holding. Is that image canon? It was back then. It isn't any more. Kimberly didn't know Lola back then, and she does now - Isabel

Modern Commentary
I really like that end-of-Unlike Minerva image linked in the original commentary. Not enough to insist on it being canon, but it is nice.

Speaking of canon, how did Tipper get into that poster? I'm 99 percent sure that isn't canon to Namir Deiter. Just another one of the various near-miss crossovers that amused us.

These days, you'd assume that Gabby took the picture, uploaded it somewhere, and it got pirated - Terrence

Original Commentary

So, Lola was single and allowed to adopt? Yes, she was. That's how it works in Hippedown, apparently. And should I have come up with a better name than "Hammerin' Hank"? No. I don't watch wrestling, but I occasionally drop by the toy aisle. Most of the wrestlers there, the ones who are good enough to get their own action figure, have normal names. I miss the days when you'd have the Ultimate Warrior, Hunk Hogan, Andre the Giant, The Undertaker, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Now, those were names that you remember. If the comic was set twenty years ago, I would've come up with a better name for him. It isn't, so Hammerin' Hank it is - Terrence

Modern Commentary
So, did Hammerin' Hank wear the dress as a gimmick, match condition, or penalty for losing?

None of the above. He grabbed the wrong bag when he left home, thought that one of the other wrestlers had pranked him, and decided the best move was to just to roll with it. - Terrence

Original Commentary

My original goal with this arc was to give the reader a quick glimpse into Brisbane and Kimberly's lives as of late and to make sure you all knew that yes, Brisbane and Kimberly are still getting married. We haven't heard heads or tails on the matter for a few months now, even though they said "a year from now" I'm sure a few of you were expecting something to come out of it by now. Sorry folks, this isn't ND- no quickie wedding for these two (although in my defense, I really did make a go for it... but, much like in real life, Terrence put his foot down on the quickie wedding idea). The other goal of this arc was to have two arcs called "Congratulations" going on at the same time (for some reason ND's drop down was not updated to show this, so the effect was lost :( ). I mostly succeeded, I think. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
The fridge probably needs it.

By which I mean, he's going to spend 30 minutes reorganizing it so he can spend the rest of the day playing FBAO but still look like he got something done while Kimberly was out - Terrence
