Sometimes I'm very witty with the comic titles. Sometimes, not so witty. And then there are those that probably make sense only to me...

As you may have detected, the comic will be taking a more serious tone for the next few pages. I usually try to keep these moments of drama to a minimum, or at the very least intersperse them with lighter stuff... but in this case, it's not feasible. Where it's not practical to insert humour, I think it's best not to even try. I once read a webcomic (the name of which I have forgotten) in which a character was recalling the suicide of her father to another character, and the author would still try to lighten the mood here and there with a joke. They fell flat, and it felt really weird. So there you go. Not many jokes for the next few comics, but I will be taking the opportunity to delve into some unexplored mysteries concerning Tryphosa...

Plot: it's what webcomics fall back on when the jokes run out.
