A: None So Blind

---

Fred: Jinjur is not without her supporters— chiefly among those who would benefit from her becoming Duchess. I wish I knew the details of the deal she's apparently made with Vyschuss.
Kathy: How did the Duchess react to your report about the bombs and lions and stuff?

---

Fred: Unfortunately, Her Grace and the Court regard Jinjur with dismissive contempt. They find her plotting amusing.

---

Fred: I don't know how much is bluff, and how much is true ignorance. Or worse, how much is willful ignorance. Which is why it's up to us to save Rackenroon.

---

B: Fast Food

---

Fred: You girls ought to go get dressed; the Duchess wants to talk to you about the plans for the duel.
Kathy: Oh, okay.

---

(Kathy points to a zebra-skin rug)
Kathy: You know, I really ought to talk to the cleaning staff— I hate it when people leave empty fast food wrappers lying around on the floor!

---

C: The Perfect Gift

---

Caption: Mark Stanley, of "Freefall," gave me the idea for this on Christmas Day. It was too late to make it a Christmas strip, but too good not to use as a non-canon gag!

---

(Murphy is wearing an elf cap and carrying a big green sack)
Murphy: ho, ho, ho, lootennint! imma elf!
Fred: What have you got there, Murphy?
Murphy: izza prezzint for miss kathy.

---

Murphy: i'm goin' down to da bridge ta t'row it in da river!
Fred: Whyever would you want to do that?!

---

Jinjur (inside the sack): YOU LET US OUT OF HERE, YOU BIG APE!
Vyschuss (inside the sack): Murphy! I'll murdelifthe you!
Fred: She'll love it.
