If you do, put it in a holder.

A few years back, I took an entire box of sparklers - the small ones - and held them together, and lit them.

Found out the painful way that, all bundled together, they don't burn nice & slow & even: they reach critical mass in 1/100th of a second & flare up all at once. Took three weeks for my hand to heal & I had scars for over a year.

They seem harmless, but sparklers should really not be messed around with.

Sally Forth, featuring, for the first time in a while, the swarm that Ted emerged from.

I didn't know Ted's brothers ever showed up before, I always assumed they were just off screen terrors. Oft mentioned, never seen. The entire trip to the mother's I expected text balloons from off panel.

I uh, don�t know if I will miss it or not? It kinda didn�t get around to paying off anything so it turned into background noise.

Edit: also rip that dog maybe. Unless the hobo child and his demon(?) bindle bring it back to life.

I'm afraid the pun (pain=bread in French) is entirely an artifact of translation - Saruman is saying the exact line from the movie, but in Japanese it's nothing anywhere near bread-adjacent.

The characters has always aged in as much of real time as comic strip characters can. When the strip began she was an art student in her early twenties and she's now in her thirties.
