I originally had an idea of including the George abduction scene into Tuesday's comic, but it just didn't flow-- like at all. So I concocted this situation where we'd have a flashback to show George being taken away. I struggled for awhile with how to frame it, and then the narrator bit seemed like a way to make it funny. Coming up with whom it should be was difficult. It couldn't be John or George for sure... then really anyone actually involved in the current arc felt wrong. So I settled on Mini and wanted to figure a way to make it over the top silly. Hence smoking jacket and bubble pipe.
