1: Night is falling on a small, barren town deep within the Sahara desert. We see a small chapel. Its roof is adorned with a rusted metal two-pronged fork, one prong shorter than the other: the sign of the Farmer King. A modern cell phone tower is spotted in the distance.
2: Inside the back office of the church, an old pastor is brewing tea while his acolyte assistant sweeps the floors. The pastor is dripping honey into the tea cup.
Assistant: How’s he feeling?
Pastor: He seems… better. Still no memory, though.
Assistant: No memories, no papers… You sure do manage to find a certain type, don’t you?
3: A tea bag rests at the bottom of a cup of tea, its rim chipped.
Pastor: We do what we must.
4: Seen through a window, a long eared fox sits outside.
5: The fox he sips from a bowl of soup – the eye facing us, his right eye, is milky from blindness and his dark hair is swept to one side.
Hokey Smokes! 😀
Maybe the black cobra’s job is just to keep putting Sami in different time periods, just to confuse the humans/human types.
Great story! 😀
I like the plot summary, or whatever it’s called, under the pages, Rebecca. 😀
To me, the plot summaries add to the story. 😀
Transcript you mean? 🙂
Ah, that’s it. Thanks!
😀
Thanks, yeah, they were meant for accessibility but it’s seemed useful to just understand what’s going on better! I have transcripts for the older strips ready to go, I just need to sit and add them all.
Sure thing. 😀
Honestly, the biggest way they help for me is that I care a lot about artist’s intention, and they do an excellent job at that. Sometimes I see a facial expression, or a pose, and can interpret it in more than one way.. And the description helps me disambiguate.
