At least Burk hasn't tried to eat any of the talking pickles yet. Or even any of the non-talking pickles.

Now Pablo... what makes you think confusing your Alvarian hosts is bad?

Seems like “magnificent beard” is a requirement not only for the Alvarian guard, but their diplomats as well.

Digging the art style for the Alvarians.

@Anthony He's a diplomat. If he doesn't want them to get the right idea, he wants them to get specific wrong ones - in a range he can predict and attempt to control. Burk confusing them increases the odds that they'll come to conclusions Pablo wouldn't expect and act erratically as a result.
So far Burk-confusion's effects should be pretty benign, but... notice the qualifiers. He hasn't forgotten that last time Burk managed to convince half the heroes that he was a high ranking undercover hero without trying to.

A lovely Burk moment.

Sometimes I wonder Neo, had you already conceived of the Alvarian spade symbol when you decided to put a heart on Pablo's clothes, or is this something that you come up with on the fly?
I noticed the heart showed up in the first depiction of Pablo in HOH, but not yet in APTGG

Ah, of course. You only release the full Burk as a last recourse, when conventional methods have failed entirely.

I welcome our new Green Pablo overlords.

Is there a diamond and club kingdom too?
