With Compliments, Edvard Munch – Chapter 9, Act 1, Strip 21

The flashback continues with revealing the ‘new’ Biffu-kun, and then quickly moves on to the pièce de résistance… which refers, in this case, to the person who’d feel the most resistance to the idea of being turned back into a teenager: Mopey, aka Mopi-chan.

As implied before, her teenage years were troubled and she left them behind herself with a pronounced sense of relief…so she was bound to have a bit of a reaction to this turn of events. There are, after all, two members in the team who have serious issues with the universe and the way it works: Snuka, whom the universe hates, and Mopey, who hates the universe. So she can’t let this sort of humiliation slip without an appropriate show of anger and despair.

In order not to piss her off any further, I’m only showing this scene from a great distance and with some walls in between. It gives Mopey a bit of privacy in what is a moment where she shows somewhat less than perfect composure…and it protects my eardrums, since I couldn’t find my earplugs*.

More on Monday.

* The Professor always carries earplugs in his pocket, of course – a habit he developed back when he was constantly pestered by students with complaints and stupid questions. =P
