I'd love to know more about how to be a good dad while dealing with the intergenerational trauma of your living forebears, not even your statue-esque undead ones.
I’d love to know more about why Tajo’s dad destroys his Postrancilo but never mentions the stolen Essence of Lumina hanging on Tajo’s belt. What is the 3M3W equivalent of the no-prize? Do I get one or is this an ongoing plot point? (Still think dad would’ve noticed though.) For such a non-prize, should we construct our own rationale for why?
Ne-Premio! I love it. So Tajo's dad can't see the Essence of Lumina because the evil ancestor statue renders it invisible to all but the thief until they are able to receive the "fate of those who trespass on holy ground". Or alternatively, they're both so worried that Mom might find out, it completely slips both of their minds.
First off, I'm a believer in the "No-Prize"...or "Ne Premio (love that)" classic philosophy of needing to explain the presumed error, so well done on that.
However ...without being too spoiler-y, there is an in-story logic that the team had in their collective heads when they were working this story out: Arlo wouldn't even know what he was looking at -- if he spotted it at all.
But regardless, once again you've proved that 3W3M readers are smarter than the editor. (That's not the compliment you might think it is!)
Fascinating to realize how much the original No-Prize was a creature of its ecological niche, where the only theories that got printed were those the editors decided to put in a letter column, which only ran months after the issue in question. What adaptations will the critter make to an online ecosystem where readers can comment at will as soon as the comic itself is posted?
I’d love to know more about how Rocketship does the vertical art and lettering conversion. Could we get a [PROCESS] of that?

That'd be a "ne-premio", no? But yeah, in the grand tradition, I figure it probably still goes to whoever comes up with an ingenious cover story.

Patience, like luck, can be ... difficult, just not exactly in the same ways. Strangely, they may have similar outcomes.
Enjoyed how the creators broadened the scope of the story here (A little scared of Mom, though).
