    The thing going on is Pab making fun of ASMR videos.

    ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is a kind of tingly sensation going from your head down the back of your neck, or even down your spine; the sensation usually triggered by something you see or hear – for example, some people experience ASMR when they’re getting their hair washed at a salon. Common ASMR triggers can include a person speaking in a soft, whispery voice or fingernails gently tapping on a hard surface. ASMR videos have been popular for a few years now on Youtube (evidently helping it cross over into mainstream advertising), where the creators will record various triggers, especially the whispering, to let the viewers experince ASMR; some even putting in as much effort as to have the sound picked up in such a way that if you put on headphones the sounds are coming from specific directions, bringing the perceived origin of the sound closer in your personal space, heightening the chance of an ASMR-type reaction.

    Some people dislike seeing or hearing these videos (Edward apparently included); and as with most video trends not all creators post good quality content, so even people who like ASMR videos still find many specific examples they dislike. And there are a number of people (myself included) who can’t even experience ASMR; the triggers just don’t create a response.

    So…was this strip a planned part of the sequence?

    Or a last minute response to eagle-eyed readers? ;-)

    I agree, some variety in the filling’s quite fine. However, mint is not the only alternative, and I actually also agree with Thatababy, the mint’s just not all that great (for such in the minority as me). So, to my unimportant self at least, you both appear equally accurate ;-).

    For the original, yes, but that’s TEMPLO’s point, his reversal was intentional (which is why he points it out).

    i.e. (to kill the joke) since Thatababy says we’re a long way from Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood, TEMPLO theorizes we’re in Mr. Roger’s neighborhood instead.

    Huh, something seems to have gotten messed up. The strip for the 19th is showing now instead…ironically enough.

    Now all they need is for that tree back there to turn into another of Her Maj’s evil killer Christmas trees.
