Goofs
- In most of his frames, Kif is missing his sleaves. We could assume it is a slightly diferent uniform if it weren't for their appearance in one frame.
- When the characters are leaving the secret room, if the comic is read in its entirity, the departures of Fry, Bender and Hermes overlap. It is particularly noticable as Bender places the copier in the doorway (1st Bender departure) before Hermes walks through the doorway and Fry re-exists, the copier is still there on Bender's second exiting frame.
- After the transformation is complete, in the next frame she appears, Leela has boots on both her hands and feet.
