I gambled that it might have been a creative decision that worked better for posterity than as a weekly update. Nonetheless, I probably won't do that again unless it's as a re-edit for a trade collection or something. - JEP Thanks for giving your perspective on that, MannieJo.

Naw, it was shaded before, but in retrospect, the second balloon overwhelms the caption box a bit because it is higher in the panel. I'll probably pull a George Lucas and digitally remaster these two strips and the dialogue at some point. - JEP Guess Who was wondering if anybody would notice.

And did the carryover dialogue box get shaded today? That panel read a lot cleaner to me just now than it did earlier. Nice work as always, sir! Ah … the loutish Tuck.

I did consider whether it might be disconcerting to carry over dialogue from last week's strip. I did realize that for this week's update, it may be disorienting if a reader didn't remember Pastor's pronouncement from last week, but I made the calculation that in subsequent weeks it wouldn't matter as much, since as newer readers came in, or older readers reacquainted themselves with older strips, the follow-up would be immediate. Regardless, I think you're right that I shouldn't even introduce an element that might disrupt the natural storytelling rhythm. I probably won't do carryover dialogue in the future.

The dialogue in panel 1 seems disjointed. I think that the dialogue in the box is Pastor's dialogue continued from last week. At first I thought it was the guy on the other end of the phone. As a weekly strip, I find it confusing to continue dialogue from the previous week into this weeks strip. If it was all on one page displayed together, there would be no problem. I love the tilt of the camera angle on the last panel. Looks great. The dialogue in panel 1 seems disjointed. I think that the dialogue in the box is Pastor’s dialogue continued from last week.
