Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

I'll be aiming for hers and I'm going to ask Iago to pencil in an entry for "Layout" in the credits and have him sign it there.

I suppose so!  I'd feel more comfortable signing next to my Gruffs illustration, but I guess I can sign next to "secret weapon" for those who prefer that.
