2021-01-10 Rerun commentary: It would have been good if I could have made the strip exactly backwards, yet so that it kind of flowed well when read forwards. But as you can see rather than going for 4-3-2-1 in panel order, I went for 3-4-1-2. This makes the natural reading order actually funny, rather than just head scratchingly strange.
