These were the hardest pages I've done in a very long time. And I have no one to blame but myself.
It's one of the several things that I really dislike about mystery stories, the way someone usually has to die. And sure, I could've cheated like a lot of the TV mysteries do and make the person who dies be nasty and unpleasant, but no. I've gotta make her a cute and cheerful little mouse girl. And on top of that, when you get right down to it, we only have Doc's suspicion that she died of anything other than this awful disease I gave her!
Ah, the horrors of the creative process...
