78: Body Blunder - March 20, 2024 (W)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in a laboratory inside the Black Manor, in their bird forms. Sort of. Pilcrow is all pink and has three eyes. The Asterism has only two eyes, is the dark color of a crow, and has a thicker neck than usual. They've swapped bodies! Kind of. The Asterism is stirring a cauldron of bubbling pink goo, and Pilcrow is upset.]

Pilcrow: "I can't believe this! Now I'm stuck in your body, well... kind of, thanks to your incompetence! How can you tolerate this weird triple vision of yours?"

Panel 2

The Asterism: "You, Pilcrow, were the one who distracted me at a critical moment, babbling about the doom of the cosmos! It's not that exciting of a topic anyhow. Now let's focus on getting this remedy completed."

Panel 3

Pilcrow: "I swear, Asterism, if one more of your potions explodes, I'm renaming this place The Blasted Manor."

Panel 4

The Asterism: "The goal is reversal here, not demolition. I'm not keen to add 'permanent body swap' to our list of cosmic misadventures."
