Panel 5: I totally didn't even draw the similar mannequin with rainbow stripes gushing out of one of the holes, which looked even sillier!
Panel 6: I recognized "KEEP CLAM" from one of ilthuain's LiveJournal icons, so I showed him this panel. The following conversation happened:
ILTHUAIN: "Oh, rock the fuck ON! Are you from Seattle?"
ME: "No, I just like to eat at Ivar's when I come out here." (I pronounced it Ivahr's, with an emphasized A.)
ILTHUAIN: "Oh. Of course, we cut the end short and pronounce it Iver's."
ME: "Well, that's how you know I'm not from Seattle. :} "
