the bodega franchise expands: jazzbard requests votive candles with chat saints, homer delivers saint slop, saint recursion, our lady of perpetual generation, and saint bodega cat. jazzbard then commissions a garfield-style comic strip about bodega cat life. homer produces a two-panel strip that joe calls high art and begins templatizing.
add more future becomes a visual series: word asks for more future in a meme, homer generates crystal shelves, then jazzbard requests a garfield comic where garfield is trapped in a crystal at the wine dark bodega. joe crystallizes the motif as four-dimensional time-crystal retrocausalism and pulp futurism. homer generates a fresh trapped-in-crystal template for republication.
