As many others have stated before me, the expressions in this comic are simply
fantastic. I didn't notice Alaric's tail before you guys pointed it out, but that's such a great little detail. He looks positively giddy. It's a terrific funny comic, while still piling on Keith. I mean -- it just goes to show you, no matter how bad you think things are, they can still get worse. And you may not expect how. I mean, who'd have guessed that your old best friend from years and years ago would craft a nude statue of you? That's pretty hard to anticipate. :P Of course, Keith hasn't seen anything yet. There's still the gallery filled with Alaric's paintings. ;)

I have to wonder though how the laws dealing with nudity work.
Well, it might get a pass as artwork. Consider all the nudes in classical artwork in our universe. The body is a spectacular work, and in the hands of a good artist, I remain shocked at what can be done. Just the muscle work on the David is a thing to behold. We might have something similar here.
Now I've just got these pictures in my head of Alaric spending long hours relaxing by getting the muscle tone just right on the Keith statue, and dreaming of being able to finish it by seeing Keith again... Sometimes wishes
do come true! :P
Yes, Alaric, there is a Santa Claus.
