NEW YEAR = NEW VOTING INCENTIVE!!!

It’s a new year to fill us all with dread! In honor of that, you can break out the bubbly and ring 2022 in with Puck, so…

VOTE TO CHAM THAT PAGNE!!!

As for this comic…

For those of you keeping track, this is another mandatory Scooby-Doo story beat that needed to happen. Velma needed to lose her glasses. In fact, this story beat actually shaped an earlier point in the narrative, because when I was first planning out this story arc, it was initially Puck who was going to occupy the Velma role. But seeing as Puck doesn’t actually wear glasses, the ‘loss of fake glasses’ thing didn’t make much sense. So I altered the plan accordingly.

As for Phoebe’s need for corrective lenses, people have sometimes wondered whether her penchant for glasses is entirely fashion-related or whether she actually needs them. It’s been a source of much speculation, especially considering the fact that she sometimes doesn’t wear glasses, like during the prom arc. But I think with this comic that we can canonize the fact that yes, Phoebe DOES need her glasses to see, and whenever she’s shown not wearing her glasses, she’s actually wearing contacts. (This explanation makes perfect sense to me, but I’m also married to a woman who definitely needs her glasses to see but also sometimes opts for contacts instead. So art imitates life.)
