Continuity’s a Thing.
There is nothing more embarrassing than catching a mistake several hours after posting. Spelling and grammar are bad enough but the absolute worst is screwing up is continuity mistakes. Technically today’s strip should have been about three weeks ago. The “current day” had been going too long for Kate and Laurel to be having Breakfast together and this couldn’t be the next “day” since there were still a few plot lines to close up before the day was over.
I hate retconning, even for little fixes, since it’s a very dangerous habit to get into. Fortunately for this one time all it took was a single word change but still it’s embarrassing.
I definitely plan to have Laurel and Kate having proper breakfast together in the future.
