Re: yesterday’s strip — it is so satisfying, as a writer, to lay down a bunch of clues and then watch readers work as a group to put them together.
Here’s one more detail to fill out Cedar’s backstory that I hadn’t covered yet…
Jax: Hey, Cedar, I think glasses look fine on you. Not as great as on me, though. You must have some good associations with them.
Cedar: Uh . . . well, I remember one time with one of the older actors on the show . . . He was a teenager already, and he was basically like a brother to me.
I guess his boyfriend needed glasses? I overheard them talking about it at a cast party. He said he thought they made any face cuter.
Jax: And this guy was “like a brother,” huh.
Cedar: Well, yeah . . . He played my brother on the show. What else would he be like?

And here we see the young Cedar blossom. His branch thickening and reaching out. Notice how the tip is in bloom.
And I’m just sitting here wondering if he hammerspace’d a branch, or Quickened a seed he’d idly caught while talking.
I assumed he was still holding a flower from 2 pages ago
The ‘poit’ sound effect in that panel leads me to believe that it popped into existence at that moment .
Oh good point, I didn’t look at that panel closely
This kinda makes me feel sorry for Ceder. Has he been so busy he’s never had a crush on anyone to put this into context?
That sounds very likely
Oh Cedar… you are going to have a lot of mental reevaluating of your past to do at some point. -_-‘
