The water (or "liquid") seems slightly disturbed, I think? Or maybe I'm just hopeful.

I don't know you from boo, but you seem to be getting a bit emotional over this. Belligerent even. You want to gamble on the safe bet. Sounds good. I prefer to keep my thoughts open and let the story tell me what happens. You keep making assumptions(there is that word again) that I am holding my line of thought because I am either acting in defense or in spite of crazy theories. Why do I voice my preferences openly? Because I find it an interesting way to approach this, and maybe others do to? Why assume the liquid is water? Why assume the land is sand? Why assume the setting is earth? Not to say it isn't, but let the story tell me. Maybe it is just a less obsessive approach.

To be fair, Randall's in Boston, so that is a completely plossible scenario.
I've got More Than a Feeling that might be possible.
Yeah. All of this is just Foreplay. It's gonna be a Long Time before we know anything for certain.
Them maybe it's time to stop checking. I don't need Amanda display a bunch of single frame animations slowly and string me along for days.
If it would just end already I might get some Peace of Mind.
If it does, Don't Look Back.
I just don't know if We're Ready, after it's over we might not be Feelin' Satisfied

Because that's how long I assume must've passed in the comic-verse

Yeah, it's the belligerence I didn't get. Especially considering all of the crazy theories that have been floated to this point.
Wait for it.

No I'm sort of with blowfishhootie. There are plenty of mysteries in this comic. Making new ones which don't exist is quite frustrating.
Maybe the setting isn't "a beach on Earth", but there's NOTHING to suggest that yet. Assuming otherwise is "hearing hoofbeats and predicting zebras".

Gee Willikers, hey guys! Maybe this is all some kind of metaphor for mortality! Any of y'all thought of that?

Sounds like a candidate for the next What-If? haha

I think it's doable. I mean, we've been able to catch up so far after we've gone to sleep. Some people give up because they're impatient to get to the current page, but the rate of reading is faster than the rate of posting.
