Originally, we’d planned to run a special post-election episode this week, but real life — better known as “a freelance deadline” — came a-knockin’, and a certain someone found himself unable to edit anything else this past week.

 

In lieu of a new episode, we instead offer you this blurry image of Ann Turiano (Caroline) dressed as Feathers McCoy (from the silent film classic Underworld) and riding a Triceratops on a merry-go-round.
