If you’re wondering: an indoor smoking ban went into effect in NYC in 2003. This is 2005. Veronika’s not the type to change her behavior or follow rules and will continue on as usual for as long as she can -- depending on the bar the ban could not have really been enforced at first, but two years in she’s definitely pushing it. We’ve seen Andrew outside with a friend who's smoking (081), which is what Veronika should be doing here.

Since I'm working on a buffer of pages, this is old news: when I was coloring this page (in late November 2025) the news came through that Mani from the Stone Roses died so of course I had to throw in something with him... What's the buffer, you ask? I'm trying to stay at least 30 pages ahead of what's posting. I wasn't able to maintain anything near this the first time around, but so far so good this time (it helps that I'm not writing as I'm going now!).
