Letters

"Letters" is Issue #4 of Inanimate Comics and was released on August 19, 2020. A comic dub of "Letters" was released on February 20, 2021.

Description
Balloon knows that it’s hard to feel welcome after starting off on the wrong note. Maybe it’s time to write a new one!

Plot
At Hotel OJ, Balloon starts writing a letter and slips it under everyone's door. Pickle groans at the letter, thinking it's from Taco, until he sees it's from Balloon. Pickle, Pepper, Salt, Bomb, and OJ read Balloon's letter. (Nickel was given a letter, but he stares at it annoyed as he has no arms to pick it up.) Balloon apologizes for his past actions in the letter, trying to make amends. He starts to have regrets about sending out the letter, until Pickle offers to play video games him him and Bomb. Balloon starts to have fun with the rest of the residents. OJ offers Balloon to be in a picture with them, and Soap takes a picture of the Team Chickenleg members (expect Bow and Taco).

Trivia

 * This is the first comic where Bomb appears. He was first mentioned in "Complaints".
 * Pickle plays a role in the comics for the first time in this issue after only appearing in the background before.
 * The lightbulb in Balloon's thoughts has a similar design to Lightbulb, making it the first reference to a currently-competing contestant.
 * Balloon wrote "Oh c'mon" in his letter, a phrase he use often in earlier episodes.
 * The video game controllers are similar to those for the Nintendo Gamecube, and have previously been used in Hotel OJ.
 * Six of the nine (originally eight) members of Team Chickenleg pose at the end. Bow, Paper, and Taco are the only ones not in the photo.
 * The photo taken at the end can be viewed at the bottom of the crew page on the Inanimate Insanity website as well as in a tweet from the Inanimate Insanity twitter. The same image can also be seen in the end of Alternate Reality Show. It is placed to the right side of the couch in Hotel OJ when Paintbrush enters the room.
 * Bomb is played by LorenTzel in the dub instead of Max Weissmann.
