WHOOPS, sorry I'm a bit late! I forgot I was supposed to letter this this morning.

I generally try not to yuck anyone's yum about their music tastes (it's so personal!), BUT I make an exception for bands that support shit like Proud Boys and homophobia, so yeah, fuck Trapt!!!

The "ugh, Nickelback" feeling of the boys, though, is a nod to the era of Keeping Time takes place in, which was at the start of the "ugh, Nickelback" mood. (I personally, think Nickelback is really fun; I was just at a show where Seattle band Public Theatre covered "This is How You Remind Me" in the middle of their set, and the crowd absolutely lost it and had a great time. I feel this is probably how the Keys on the River crowd feels whenever they get Daniel to play Nickelback too, ahahaha!)

NOTE TO SELF: YOU FORGOT THE SNOW IN THE LAST PANEL AGAIN, what is wrong with you, you snow hater!!!

Nickelback IS fun. I remember being in middle school and having my mind absolutely BLOWN by their music video for "Someday" 😂😂

Kody Okamoto

YES, the Daniel being protective of Elena was one of my favorite small Daniel moments to sneak in there! 🥺 Even though he's still shy and cautious around her, she's really grown on him...

Kody Okamoto

(I also know nothing about Nickelback's politics, and now I feel like I should go find out XD)

Kody Okamoto

Kody Okamoto

Kody Okamoto

Kody Okamoto

Daniel thinking 'the one time i accept drinks and this happens. never again.'

VEN

Ah, Daniel has the quintessential "Shit, the tea I shared spilled too far!" look here 👀 Also literally every single face on this page is *perfection* both boys are so expressive in totally different ways, I live

Yukiizura

The way Daniels face on that last panel makes my heart sink oh noooooooooooo Also I had no idea about the whole Trapt thing, good thing I don't listen to them xD As a Canadian though, I can't help but have a soft spot for Nickleback they're just fun!

Curio Blue

Denver's "and TRAPTTTTTT D:" face is hilarious.

Samarkandar

So much work on this page Kody!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻 Ok so, super cute how Daniel is protective of Elena! And Denver seems touched that Daniel told Elena about him 😏 Poor Daniel tho, he’s been discovered 🫣😳😱

Amélie

the look on his face at the end 😱

Nadin Brokop

LOOK AT THIS GRAPH (I still can't believe Mr. Nickelback was married to Avril Lavigne...) and DANIEL it's gonna be okay!! Probably. I think. Don't quote me on that. 😬

Kaycie Dunlap

Ohdamn the silent fear on poor Dan's face!!

Angie

the faces through this whole conversation are so expressive!! love it!

Adib Khorram

For a sec I thought you were gonna say Nickelback was homophobic (I know nothing about Nickelback's politics), and got a little scared. My mom loves Nickelback so I have just a little soft spot for them as well, haha. Excited for that next update 👁️

When Daniel gives that look in the last panel, I can feel the tension in the air.
