Kris’ self insert character is being made to explain everything, WHILE Kris was also next up to make a comic.
It’s like going “I’ve got a knock-knock joke, you start!”, just setting someone up to do something they’re probably not expecting/prepared for.
it kinda feels like they’re just doing bits for eachother, like i reckon THEY’VE laughed at this arc more than a measurable percentage of the regular audience.
it’s my favorite arc, i love it so much.
