Escape Clause
Ahem! And now, self-doubt!
I feel like I’ve put enough information in previous comics to explain where we are now and why, but God help someone who wanders into this strip and tries to make sense of it all.
I could always fall back on “aha! I want you all disoriented! So I purposely left out the clues that would help you understand.” It’s honestly closer to “how much can I say before the end without killing any sense of surprise?” I hope you feel more of the latter!
Once this is all finished and in book form, maybe the doubts will go away.
Thinking about Yithro’s instructions leads me to say/yell: “NOW, Winston!” Of course, I am probably completely wrong and potential Shoggoth fodder myself.
