Talk about blundering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I've been doing semi-regular Canada Day tributes ever since the invasion arc; I'd also mused a myriad of non-sequitur parade sequences dating back to the Harper years that for whatever reason I never followed through on—the clear and logical conclusion was a Sesquicentennial special.

Unfortunately, 2017 has been the Year of Living Anxiously, and due to various foibles throughout the spring I never managed to actually sit down and plot something out properly until late June. Only as I sat down to outline the comic did I discover that for all my innumerous replays, I'd managed to misinterpret "The Maple Leaf Forever" with verses that didn't exist. I could either draft the song or try to force out a page, but not both, so I ended up running the white.

In the interest of propriety, the incomplete lyrics can be read here.
