Cadi is tired of being a background comics character and wants something different.
Nothing could be more different than the enigmatic Tressa popping up in Cadi's comic world without warning.
This ep took more preparation than usual as I had to figure out a lot of things about cannons. Our cannons are based on Falconets, actually. I was going to make them breechloaders, but changed my mind after seeing how many panels I ended up with. Anyway, Tomoko Hirabayashi makes such fascinating supporting characters that I fall in love with them time and again and have to write episodes for them.
Trilby planned a beautiful dramatic ending last episode, but of course didn't plan her exit. Actors! Never thinking about what happens after the curtain comes down.
