Mr_Rose:
Oooor she's entirely within his glasses, as any good AR overlay should be, and we're just seeing the world partially from his PoV for a moment.
DSL:
So Jeph tweets it's gonna be "frustrating" watching everyone speculate on how this story will go, since he has it written already.
In his shoes, I would find it entertaining as hell.
EDIT: Nothing stopping him from tweaking it, I suppose ... but I hope for his sake and the sake of the strip he resists, unless it's to resolve any dissatisfaction of his own with what's already in the can.

It's going to happen soon. Expanding and contracting like that, "she's gonna blow!!".
I hope no lifeforms are too close. Even bacteria. All part of the performance Art that is the Universe, I know, but still.

There is a non-zero chance that a few bacteria (assuming they have some earth-style protections like sporulation) would actually survive a nova and be blasted into space on chunks of planetary debris.
I think it would be interesting to find one.

... assuming that we aren't already the remnants of one!
Luckily, Betelgeuse is far enough away to not be a problem from a survival point-of-view. 30 parsecs is probably far enough to be safe, and Betelgeuse is a good 200 or so, so that's a pretty good margin of safety. :-D
It would be rather cool to see a super nova from this close up, but I'd be happy with one in this Galaxy, a bit closer than SN1987A was, or even that dim, but visible in the northern hemisphere!
TimO:
As regards whether Dale's "maid" is visible or not, since he apparently doesn't see her until he puts his glasses on, she is presumably part of the AR overlay. Of course, a smart enough AR system, would know that with his head covered he can't see anything, so exclude things from his vision, unless he's enabled a specific mode for that purpose (eg an AR "X-Ray" mode for seeing inside of operating equipment).
SJCrew:
Another one of those laugh-out-loud comics. Thanks for the morning kneeslapper, Jeph. :lol:
