I’ve had this strip in my back pocket for a long-ass time.  It was originally going to go into the main series at some point but it seemed kind of redundant there (as you can see though, I numbered it exactly where it was going to go in the first place, so i kinda-sorta didn’t avoid the problem I was trying to work around in the first place).  Here though, in the land of gags and one-offs, it fit perfectly!  Plus, Eric is a fan-favorite, so more of him is always a good thing.
