Panel 1: I do quite like the Caged Demonwolf self-description “diabolic dybbuk,” which I’m pretty sure was never used again. Per Wikipedia: “In Jewish mythology, a dybbuk is a malicious possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal, sometimes after being helped." That’s a not inappropriate term for the Blazing-Eyed Devilgoat, who does indeed require a host body, as seen way back in his first appearance.

Re: the couch Ninjette is sitting on, a savvy commenter did recently point out that my idea of changing that sofa to black leather (to add needed dark values to the setting) would likely lead to me complaining about my drawing hand getting chewed up from all the required rendering. Probably true!

Panel 6: I do indeed find this page overdialogued as a whole, but obvious cuts to reduce the level of text aren’t jumping out at me. Maaaaaybe I could’ve found a more concise way to handle this particular panel’s dialogue, perhaps by cutting it down to a single word balloon.
