If I may be so bold as to spill the beans a little here, there IS a point to this story, outside of just showing lil’ Dandy as a prankster. Really, it’s to allow ADULT Dandy to, when all is said and done, step out of that stereotype and allow for some more character growth.
If there’s one consistant criticism of the strip, it’s that Dandy can really be a JERK. Now, he’s going to get the perspective to see it for himself.
