Comic strip for December 22 2023.
PANEL ONE: The nobleman kneels between Erlak and the giant bowl. NOBLEMAN: Oh, uh, great god of soup, in return for thine aid we gift to thee this gigantic pile of borscht... PANEL TWO: The nobleman hands Erlak a decorated tureen. NOBLEMAN: ...And this personalized tureen. ERLAK: Hey, neat! PANEL THREE: Erlak looks at the tureen. ERLAK: "World's greatest god of soup." PANEL FOUR: Erlak looks up. PANEL FIVE: Erlak faces the nobleman. ERLAK: Uh, actually I think I'm the worlds ONLY god of soup. NOBLEMAN: Well, then doesn't that make you— ERLAK: Hey, don't get me wrong; I like the tureen.

Huh. Erlak is partially in front of the dialogue balloon in the first panel. That's... kind of odd. I don't know if I ever put a character in front of a dialogue balloon in any other strip; I certainly didn't do it regularly. I originally made this strip long enough ago that I don't actually recall now whether I did this on purpose or whether it was some sort of accident—you'd think if it were an accident I'd have noticed it before and corrected it, but given my general artistic incompetence possibly not.
