totally agree -- spoilers to a certain extent

but I think it's not so much that there's too much happening in the story, it's that the characters somehow find a way to waste time in between plot points. It's really surprising that this got so far as to be drawn and printed before anyone noticed there were so many wasted dialogue bubbles. Mr. Williams needs to 1) remember where the delete button is and 2) realize he's not that funny a writer. Someone commenting on a villain's pathological need to describe a scheme hasn't been funny for several decades, man! James Bond did it back when Sean Connery was starring. Get over it!
Also the fact that characters are repeatedly upbraided for "babbling" or "rambling" suggests that at least Williams knew what was going on. But why didn't he fix it???
