Gunwild: It's a good one. So is the lame but delightful joke, which I'm sure we came up with not as an actual idea for a comic, but just as something like "What would a Vanaa do at a Christmas party?"
Psu: If we were to really dissect the story telling, it's very silly and goes well out of the way to tell its obvious but adorable joke.
Gunwild: Well, these cultural misunderstandings happen. Like, if you'd never seen a candy cane before, would you assume it was food or a plaything?
Psu: Hrmm. That's one way to look at it. Still, you have to start asking yourself things like,"did the vanaa buy a packet of jello and a traditional mold? How could they not have realized it's for consumption." And so on.
Gunwild: Maybe they just had a recipe...
Psu: It was an ancient text.
Gunwild: The only thing I'm really concerned with is the Vanaa in the last panel gasping, so I like to think that he just read a textbook on human languages, and it said that people "gasp" when they are surprised.
Gunwild: So he's saying "GASP!"
Psu: Too much thinking! This one's just cute! Leave it at that and we can all get back to ogling Maddy's dress!
Psu: Ahem
Psu: Politely appreciating Maddy's dress.
Gunwild: Do you think you'd be weirded out if your friends made an edible effigy of you?
Gunwild: Maybe we'll find out.
Psu: Wait... is that a threat?
