23: Foraging Fiasco - November 8, 2023 (W)
Panel 1:
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in the forest in their bird-headed humanoid forms as a crow and three-eyed flamingo and wearing camping outfits. Pilcrow is holding a strange yellow root.]
Pilcrow: "Behold the bounty of the forest! This root is edible, I'm sure of it."
The Asterism: "As certain as your claim concerning the so-called 'savory' bark?"

Pilcrow: "Earthy... with a hint of... regret."
