Strip 33

Fun fact: at some point between Strip 32 and this one, someone had righted the knocked-over pepper grinder, and for this strip I knocked it back down. Knocked-over pepper grinder is officially part of the set.

This strip is a bit more serious. I told you there'd be more plot. Specifically, it shows an area in which Sven is actually dangerous: making other people dangerous. Usually the “master manipulator” trope also comes with master plan-making skills as well, but Sven is a master manipulator that's absolutely terrible at planning ahead, which isn't a combination I've seen before.
