Joe, a reminder talk all you would like about what has happened in Elsewhen, but please do not speculate on what you think is gonna happen.
JB likes to tell his story as he intends so don't make him alter it by guessing at all possible outcomes.
It's a real simple ask by John that many of us keep forgetting! Lots of great things that HAD happened that you can bring to the board for discussion. Please help keep this project as enjoyable for John as possible. |

Speaking of things not to do:The other day I absentmindedly left the art thread for this issue unlocked, and someone immediately posted there. I deleted the post and locked the thread, but this seems like a no brainer! Can you imagine what an unreadable mess these threads would become if there were comments posted between the pages? That's exactly why we have two threads for each issue. So, please! In future, remember the art thread being unlocked is an accident, not an invitation!

A land line? Jean's sister still has a land line? I guess for a story telling point of view, that is one clever way to instantly let the audience know that she is at home.

A land line. A great convenience when the power goes out.

It's pointed out in disaster movies like DAY AFTER TOMORROW and SAN ANDREAS that land lines are powered by their cords as well as sending/receiving signals, so they operate when cell towers go down. Sure, they can be disrupted too, but they won't be overloaded as easily as cell phones fighting for bandwidth.

And, as noted, they aren't plugged into the house current so they won't go dead if the power is off.

Well, I know Brits are famous for their odd sense of humor, but….

I love the shift in Sara's expression across the middle two panels. Gorgeous stuff.

This is the book I would buy two or three copies of.
Never to sell! But one to read, one to share (BETTER give it back, Steve!) and one to replace the first one when I wear it out from rereading.
James, I see the humor in what you have. How about...
Phoenix! Jean! Dad! Rocky! Ergh!
