Poochy's Picks from Issue 233
Section	Writer	Comments
The ? Panel	winstein (talk)	I just adore it. That dreamy artstyle for this month, the confident-but-subdued poshness of Chester P. Nuttingham (itself a good pun name), the variety of activities on display, and the deep cut Mr. E cameo are all such fun!
The Death of the Player	Koops (talk)	Great demonstration here of how quickly things can spiral out of control in Lobotomy Corporation. There's a nice balance in this edition between seeing Koops deftly handle a few abnormalities and watching chaos unfold. I'm still thinking about "thankfully, he's homicidal" and "you are basically on the brink of mental collapse. Incredible", too.
Dry Dry Data	Cloudwalker (talk)	This is a well-rounded look at Bloomps that tries to provide reasoning for all of their observable traits, including their different colors, their tendency to contain goodies, and even little details like why they mostly have confetti inside in certain regions. The firsthand account and the details of their evolutionary history are cherries on top!
News Flush	Harold Harefoot (talk)	What can I say? The concept amuses me. Take the industrial weapons factory setting from SMRPG, take living weapons who could absolutely be melted down for their disobedience and who have no reason for long-term planning, and add a demand for a 401(k) match for classic comedy through incongruity with clever grounding in Mario.
Pixel Personas	Sparks (talk)	I honestly really liked this section. True, it may have been easy for the first one (it's a certain Kong), but those kinda puzzles make my brain to think and I like that feeling of getting stuff like this right. It makes me feel smart, so I wanted to share this section.
