It seems everyone has gotten the "lovely friend" ball so far in this chapter. Ed bails on Isabel, Isaac tries to put the squeeze on Max, Isabel goes out of her way to blow off Ed... which means Max is up for doing something kinda dickish.

Muse proves that dramatic face shadows are superior to letterboxing. Suck it, Isaac.

So, given Muse's propensity for making Ed do all kinds of crazy looking exercises (well, crazy looking to us/the general public) doe this mean that every time we see him doing crazy stuff in the background he's actually jumping through hoops to please his spirit and not just goofing off?

Ed got completed smashed by his spirit. Being unable to help your friends is one thing, being flippantly told by someone else that you made the right choice by wimping out because you're hopelessly worthless is just... drat. Wrap yourself up in a tortilla of sadness, Ed. You are the worst burrito.

Only if he was doing it at super speed, since ya know, time dilation in the spirit zone and all.

I like how this update partly mirrors Spender's from the previous chapter. Ed and Spender both share other characteristics as well...

Not telling his ghost buddy that he can't use a tool. He's been avoiding it like hell with him. Granted yeah he doesn't want to crush the dude'a spirit (pun not intended ) the more he lingers about not telling him the worst it's gonna get. Also Muse was telling sound advice but telling him he is a wimp was not so good. Poor Ed. We need some Suzie shenanigans in the next panel to lighten this up. Or the more obvious answer. More Johnny

Muse is basically calling Isabel "naive" and "a baby" in today's page for being upset about Ed bailing on her.

gradients haven't really bothered me and I haven't even noticed them till someone here pointed them out. I mean stuff going on in the background like Johnny shaking down Jeff in the background of Mr. Garcia having a battle of the minds with that possessed dog great. But I dunno what squiggle people throwing balls around now would add really.

Hey Ned wanna go to the corner store with me I gotta get a new toothbrush for reasons that should be obvious but we can also get candy to really break that toothbrush in, make it earns its keep To be clear this is a thing Isabel could have said, if she wanted Nerd's company, but she didn't, because she didn't.

If your spirit has to tell you to get a toothbrush of your own you can already tell that kid ain't raised right.

What's really weird is that none of the other six people bought one. I mean, the others are all adults and possibly Ed, right?

people whining about gradients in parantural are being stupid as hell, its fine to have plain backgrounds when you're doing actiony complex art in the foreground. People bitch about gradient backgrounds in webcomics because 99% of webcomics are Man On Left Talks To Man On Right boring as hell composition and the artists have no excuse save laziness.

Also, the characters and speech bubbles take up like 90-95% of the panel most of the time gradients are used here, so there wouldn't be much to be seen anyway. Like, other than the last and maybe third-to-last panels in this latest comic, "detailed" backgrounds wouldn't really add much of anything. Though I will give people the last one looking a bit odd with the gradient background; it's kind of noticeable there. Otherwise, it's fine though.

What if Muse's spirit world is nothing but a blank canvas, a few stray lines of paint here and there, waiting to be impressed upon with his every thought, vision, feeling, and inspiration?

It's for the best that Ed didn't stay. Grandpa probably would have suspected something was up, started questioning him, and find out that Spencer is the worst teacher.
