This is really meant to be “what next?” kind of frame. Slow back down to the “one long extended moment” pacing of the earlier strips. In a way this is my “a storm is coming” moment. Although I hate that phrase. It is literally what this and the next couple strips are trying to say. WITHOUT SAYING THOSE WORDS! AHHH!

I hate that phrase so much that my mind derails. oof. erg. ack. bletch.
