Actually, what Fern said about the date is not true. Thirteen days from today it will again be May 16, 2021, according to the Julian calendar, which is still used by the Eastern Orthodox church, the Oriental Orthodox church, and the Berbers ethnic group of northern Africa.
At one point, getting a tattoo might have been a sign of rebellion and non-conformity. It’s beginning to get so that not getting a tattoo might serve the same purpose.
In the race to find a miniscule source of uniqueness in a world of 7.5 billion people, the question will not be what your tattoo is but rather where it is.
Tonight go look at the sky, cause you will never see that view again. It will have changed, probably not noticable, but when you are hurtling away at a million miles an hour you can never go back.
All the original Allman Brothers had mushroom tattoos. But Jaimoe thought it hurt so bad, his was only an outline. Too bad Greg wasn’t as needle averse.

They both nibbled on the mushroom at the entrance didn’t they. No wonder Danae feels queasy.

Fern should get the strength/power/force character tattoo to match what was on her shirt last weekend.
And by analogy, Danae should get the Punisher emblem.

The frog in the first panel was hoping this isn’t the day Fern steps on him.
And why are there frogs on the toadstools in the last panel? They should be toads.

Lots of critters in that last scene. Looks like a beginning to me, too. Should be interesting from here on.
