Heck, I'd SO forgotten about this bit, that I'd already started penciling an entirely separate comic before the scene hit. Originally, I was gonna make some form of joke comparing the reclusive guy with lots of dolls to your stereotypical otaku... which in and of itself would mostly just rip off the Digimon Ghost Game comics I've been doing lately.
And the worst thing is, I really SHOULD have seen more Iron Chef references coming, since I absolutely believe that Chairman Kaga is a wizard.
