Does the background image in today's strip bear a striking resemblance to K'Z'K's symbol to anyone else?  same here. i had to go digging to find the symbol again to check it. (3 bolts on the old 3 sections of arc on the new symbol, the outside arc on both and a hollow circle instead of full circle on the new on) different enough it could just be coincidence, but im not just going to discard this idea.

Where DID you find a symbol? I could think of four or five places it MIGHT have turned up, but my sifting through the archives turned up diddly, save for the simplified, cartoony version.

But Maybe, Just MAYBE I'm seeing something special here: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/090822Alright, so, we've got our creepy paradise patrol logo, and that cloudy rain background. Take a good look at the top half of the logo. The serif-point on the top left arm of the logo looks to be crossing over an eye. The curved right-upper arm looks to be positioned directly below another. Between the two top arms there looks to be a possible nose. The curved-arm on the left side looks to have hair above it, and below it, between the upper left and lower left arms you've got what looks like a shoulder. And all of it looks like it could come together to form Zoe's face. Maybe, just maybe I'm suffering of wishful thinking. But maybe I AM seeing something. Sorry for maybe beating a dead horse but I have to agree with ZeeWulf. Zoe's ghost face is right above the upper right bracket of the 4U symbol. She's 3/4 profile facing left and looking up. Also there's a woman sitting on the bottom left with a slender neck and a loop earring, wearing a scarf or a bathrobe.

Anyway, today's comic has some text next to the U's. It's barely legible, but can we try to figure it out? I can see the upper left U stands for Utopia. The lower right is Unified. Upper right might be Universal? Or Universe? Probably Universal. And lower left, which should be the easiest to read, I think sort of looks something like Ubiquitous? Agree?

I can also see the eyes, in a Roscarch-blot sort of way.
It is a striking coincidence, but I think that's all it is.

Earlier today I was doing an archive crawl and came across something. when you rotate the HC logo 90 degrees, you get this http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww337/archnemesis_goldenhair/4U.jpgA large U with a four on its side, am I seeing things?, or have I found Pete's Muse? If this the inspiration for this drugged world, my mind boggles at the thought of Herreti Corp in charge.

Nice catch... I'd like to just say coincidence, because I don't see hC as our probable villain in this world. But it does LOOK like U4.
