Panel 4: Facial hair rankings would, come to think of it, be more important in our modern era of voluminous and/or elaborate beard styling than a decade ago.

Panel 5: Unfortunately, the page-turn joke immediately after this line re: “romanticizing evil” doesn’t really work in this webcomic serialization format, I'm afraid; you’ll have to keep Valkyrie Eleison’s dialogue in mind until Monday morning.  All I can say is, stand by for some, ah, surprising imagery you haven't seen since back in vol. 3 or so.
