Original Commentary

So, can Brisbane grow a beard? I mean, if his whole body is covered with fine fur, how could he shave? Basically, if he let it grow out, it'd get longer and darker. So he uses an electric trimmer, a quarter inch or so from his skin (about 6 mm, for the metric folk).

So, can Brisbane grow a beard? Not really. He'd just end up looking scruffy after a week or so - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Is there a story behind this?

Isabel lost her voice around the same time. And I was working on The New Guy and we decided it would need another week before it was ready to go.

I ought to finish writing stories before they start. I usually don't, but I try to get far enough along that I write the end before it needs to be drawn.

I try, at least- Terrence
