69: New Look - February 28, 2024 (W)
Panel 1
[The Asterism storms into the library of the Black Manor, where Pilcrow is reading a book. He is in his bird-headed humanoid form with a crow's head. However, she's rather unusually in a human guise, with pink hair and green eyes. Both are dressed more casually in relaxed button-up shirts. She is visibly angry.]
The Asterism: "Pilcrow! Prepare to provide plentiful particulars, for I am positively piqued!"
Pilcrow (sweating): "What? What did I do?!"
Panel 2
The Asterism: "You, good sir, provided me with what you claimed was the perfect mortal disguise! Yet the moment I'm down there, they're running away!"
Pilcrow: "Well, that's odd. Did you look exactly like this? Humans are very sensitive to style."
Panel 3

[Pilcrow pulls back her bangs, to reveal that her third eye is still there, like in her other forms.]
Pilcrow: "Like this? Hmmm."
