And now you see something I've been planning for years . . . (rubs hands together evilly).  What is a fantasy story without a child of prophecy, after all?  Of course, this is more than just a parody of, say, epic fantasy; it's a serious plot point, too.  By the way, did you notice how this parallels Strip #39?  I did that on purpose, because I thought it would be funny.  But wow, have I improved as an artist since then!  I look back at those old strips and can't help wincing now.  (Laugh.)
