The original idea for this was fine. I was stoked with the idea but having a deadline hanging over one's head tends to mess with the details. So I did what I can with the few hours remaining in the original submission and drew the figures on another paper. And just this week, I went over it again, redrew everything and tightened the dialogue a bit. It's definitely easier the second time around when all you have to do is revise something. This one features a one of the two shopkeeps of Always Saturday as guest. I haven't figured what this guy's name is.
