Okay. I need to explain this one. I'm sad to say it, but I've just grown bored with Rachel as a character in Stubble Trouble. She's had seemingly the least amount of character development, she doesn't lend herself to many character-specific jokes, and I've just run out of ideas for her. She's often ended up merely as a placeholder character in a spot that could be filled by any of my other characters, such as her reaction in the "midget submarines" strip. So, rather than keep a second-rate character on forever with nothing interesting to do, I decided to "retire" her from the comic. Thus, she is abducted by a pteranodon and flies off into the sunset. I figured I'd give her one last moment in the spotlight, just for old time's sake.
