So no one has caught on to the fact that the imagery of last panel appears to be a continuation of the second-to-last panel? {{unsigned ip|172.71.155.18|19:02, 1 February 2024}} | So no one has caught on to the fact that the imagery of last panel appears to be a continuation of the second-to-last panel? {{unsigned ip|172.71.155.18|19:02, 1 February 2024}} | ||
:Too obvious to mention explicitly. Although it does place his location at far less than 8000 miles'-worth of accumulated error. Consider it a figurative continuation.
