The TMNT Mirage Continuity Timeline (complete?)

I'm sure others have touched on it as well, but I nominate "Practical Jokes" as taking place between vol. 3 #23 and #24 (some time just before Don went out shopping, perhaps). It makes for a nice "calm before the storm" moment (think about that scene near the end of Saving Private Ryan, just before the sh*t hit the fan, when the soldiers are sitting around reminiscing and telling goofy anecdotes), and placing it smack dab in the middle of such a tense situation would really serve to underline Mike's ending narration. Like I said in my review, I wish Pimiko were in the final panel with Splinter and the boys, but for my money I like to imagine she's just off panel, raising an eyebrow at Mike's punchline and just sort of observing their jovial family dynamic with a sense of wonderment/intrigue. As we later see, she starts to warms up to them.

Anyhoo, that's the case I'm making. For what it's worth, that's where I'm placing it on my copy of the timeline
