In lieu of silly comments from me, here is two “Mastermind Selkie” panels spliced together with dialogue that is totally not ripped off from elsewhere.
I was originally going to have this be a Friday strip but the way things worked out that would have required using an entire strip to pad/bloat the flow just to delay the reveal. Meh.
