better speed up if I want to watch that.

Brad: Wait a minute. My neighbours house isn't on fire. But then, what's with all the smoke?

Background
The comic "Let's Twist Again" (US#028) reveals that the ideas for the Scary Door come from a parallel universe where everything is ironic and there is only one writer for the show.
