52: Manor Mop-Up - January 17, 2024 (W)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in the basement of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. The Asterism is wearing a white button-up shirt and khakis. Pilcrow is wearing a red flannel and jeans, and holding a mop.]

The Asterism: "Today, dear Pilcrow, we tackle the manor's mysterious messes."

Pilcrow: "Indeed, it's a day to banish the buildup of ages!"

Panel 2

Pilcrow: "Oops! Asterism, I might have mopped away a portion of our reality."

Panel 4

[The entire panel is white except for the characters.]
