Yeah a bit of a clip-show - each panel is the last panel from the last time you saw each character. Outside the fourth wall, they haven't moved!

Actually, by the time you read this, I will have been to, purchased and returned from the LEGO Store.

Can't read the alien's text? View the translated comic, or read the transcript below.

Panel 1: Peterson and Falmar in the Mobile Science Lab on Short Beach, Nobikini City, Planet Teuthida (from episode #342)

Peterson:

Dude, why are we still stuck in these positions?

Falmar:

Oh no, has the Author gone AWOL again?

Panel 2: Hudson at her desk on Tranquility Base, with her cat Tracey (from episode #340)

Prime Minister Hudson:

Oh for the FSM's (Flying Spaghetti Monster's) sake, not another hiatus in the middle of a plot?

Tracey the cat:

Meep?

Panel 3: The Beings of Interminable Vagueness, the Indescribable Place (from episode #340)

Scarab Alien Leader:

We beings of infinite power do not fear a hiatus. We can wait indefinitely for the plot to proceed.

Panel 4: Squidman and Mrs Squidman, after Squidman crashed through the kitchen window of Mrs S's home in Nobikini City, Teuthida (from episode #338)

Squidman:

I fer one would very much like to progress wi'the story asap (as soon as possible)!

Panel 5: Admiral Slog and a Medical Doctor, after Slog fainted in the Prime Minister's Office, Tranquility Base (from episode #324)

Doctor:

It's typical behaviour from your average unreliable webcomic author.

Admiral Slog:

Don't panic guys! I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Panel 6: The Author's computer, switched off, with a note attached (the Author herself is nowhere to be seen)

VFX:

Note on Computer Screen: I'm at the LEGO store! Back soon - Louise

Admiral Slog (offscreen):

See! I bet she's buying the Winter Village Post Office and Star Wars Advent Calendar - 'cos everybody needs a Yoda in a Santa costume. {{SIGH}}
