Hmm? They held him up for the DFA. Cupidine ... turned to dust? Her angry eyes watching him, from where? Did she escape into the ether as an anima spirit?

Hmmm... so the question is which panel is Torg waking up.

This is actually quite frightening. Tor still seems to be working through a lot of trauma, happy-go-lucky though he may act.

Also all that other stuff is deeply concerning. Can't wait for the next strip.

So, reading this on my phone means I zoom in and read panel-by-panel.
My reaction to today's comic went as follows (numbers correspond to the order of my reactions, not to panels)
1) haha, Torg looks like he has an acorn for a hat
2) oh Torg, why would you think Zoe would want that on her wall?
3) Nice one, Zoe!
4) classic Bun-bun style injury humor!
5) Aaaaaaah!
6) What?!
7) Wait, does this mean...
8) Why, oh why did I stay up late to read this?!

An amazing range of emotions within one strip! Now, I shall spec and then try to get to sleep without Cupidine staring at me...

The angry eyes look more like angry Troloria (from 2/24) than Cupidine.

Soooo many questions.

In panel 9, that's supposed to be Zoe on Torg's left, but her face looks ... strange. And there are weird background lines that weren't in 2/11's strip's equivalent panel.

In panel 7, why is Torg in his classic flannel?

In panels 9 and 10, why is the upper-right tinged red?

Why are the panel border colors changing?

This is a very old callback. Had to flip through a few books to find it. I'm also pretty sure I've seen that double-boot before, but I can't be sure where.

It's a cue to indicate that Torg is dreaming for most of this strip. The blue panels are just a normal dream, but it then segues into a flashback from immediately after they DFA'ed to this time period.

So, some entity (Troloria?) [Sorry, but the rest falls within speculation territory. -Z]

Huh. That is a mahummina-hummina-whubba-jubba reference I wasn't expecting. Boy, that takes me back.

Torg is, understandably, rather screwed up by pretty much everything here.

I appreciate the fact that every anima in 'real time' is a featureless cyan blur.

I did a niftysearch and only found this one, but I think there is another more direct parallel somewhere.

There was this, although it didn't describe itself as a double-boot.
