• Everyone gets a week-long break from class, and Squirrel Girl is taking Nancy to visit her parents up in Canada! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG, RIGHT?
• Turns out, nothing! It's a great trip and nothing of note happens and our comic is actually EXTREMELY DULL. Sorry everyone.

I could ramble on about how amazingly funny and intelligent Ryan North's writing is, or how Erica Henderson's art is such a perfect fit for this book, but nothing I can say would be good enough.
