Transcript:
"Hello?" "Hi, mom. It's me, Wren." "Wren? My newborn baby? Since when do you talk?" "I've always been able to talk, but Kirkman and Scott don't want to show it 'cuz I'm the last kid they're gonna add to the strip and if I grow up too fast, they're out of a @#*#@#* job... Capiche, Wanda?" "That's "mom" and since when do you curse?" "Chill, homey... Listen... The babysitter got wasted, Zoe and Hammie blew up a gas station and the kid from 'Zits' is dead... Do you mind if I use the down feathers from your pillow to stuff a dead animal?" "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." "You freak out at the slightest @#*#."

Actually, 13 or 14. Though I’d say 14 because there are 2 bodies.

I told you that in the pearls world you can just assume that the crud that’s happening here is meant to be a sad depressing pun or a really crapy joke.
or great knowledge that will be passed on for generations. :D

I tried reading Wren’s dialogue aloud. I couldn’t do it, kept laughing too hard.
