The Critic's Table

Sir Percival Nibbleton tries Minty Swirl Cupcake

★★★

A perfectly adequate Minty Swirl Cupcake. I felt neither joy nor sorrow. I felt lunch.

Every cook in Frostpeak has their own Harvest Hotpot. Mine uses Pumpkin Patch Pie and Wiggly Minnow, and the secret is patience.

In Memoriam

Gone but not forgotten: LED Pixel Scarf. Bellissimo dropped it in a puddle in Mossmire. Neither has been the same since.

Here lies Knitted Dye Drop, pawned for half its price, which it felt was "a bit rude".

Spotted Dye Drop served 9 years as a doorstop in Gloomhollow and has retired with full honors.

Ask Stargazer Wren

Letters reach the Observatory by Pigeon Post. Wren reads each one with his eggshell helmet pushed back.

costume_crisis writes: “What should my Glimling dress as this year?”

A comet is easy: one tail, lots of confidence. If it sulks, it can be a very small black hole.

MewbloomMania writes: “Does my Mewbloom's flower tail need watering?”

Only when she is sad. Try a snack first, then a watering can, then a nice long look at the stars together.

sleepy_shellby writes: “How long is a normal Shellby nap?”

Somewhere between "a while" and "until the next comet". Both are normal.
