This is probably my best transition strip ever -- it leads so smoothly from one series to the next that I can't resist grinning every time I read it to myself. This strip is also the beginning of a running joke . . . I have a tremendous fondness for those, especially since this is a continuing story, so I can get away with them. Besides, even in comic strips without continuing stories, running jokes are a lot of fun. Every humorous series needs at least a few of those.
