There is a fine old word that goes back to the 1500s: twaddle. It means “senseless, silly, or trifling talk,” and that pretty much sums up both the dialog and the accompanying illustrations in today’s episode. As a continuation of the bats and music contest story, this chapter seems to be going nowhere.
The art, itself, has certainly taken a big hit. In panel 1, the “jumping” cat does not look like it is jumping, whereas it has somehow totally upended the harp and its movers! In fact, Cherry and Violet were already in trouble before the cat made its move. Panel 2 is a complete train wreck of outlandish proportions and awkward drawing. Cherry’s comment in panel 3 seems to contradict her prior positive opinion of Banjo Cat.
Finally, Rivera’s narration box in panel 3 contradicts or ignores what Cherry just said! Doesn’t Rivera listen to her characters!?
