For example, in the movie, Sinbad is already in the dungeon by the time Ali ever enters the palace. Here, not only did Ali rejoin Alina beforehand, but I took bits of the same scene to construct their backstory way back in comic #4.

Since there's no real action here, and I didn't have any reason pertaining to the comic's plot to have these two talking, I had to resort to taking a few screenshots of the scene, then trying to decide, based on the body language, what they might have been saying to each other. I was exceptionally pleased with the result, relieved as much as anything that I'd managed to get something that not only made use of the images but played with Poochie's personality. After "There's Nobody Here" and this one, I discovered Poochie was just going to rule all over the place.

The Google ads below the comments seem to be pushing Sailor Boy Theater. "Sinbad Tickets! Great Seats, Cheap Prices. Buy Sinbad Tickets Now!" DUDE, WHERE DO I SIGN?
