One more non-historical commentary, since I just didn’t even bother trying to post an animated version of this page anyplace other than deviantArt.  And what’s more, the version of the page you’re seeing here isn’t even that version, because the original draft just strobed a bit TOO much.  Like, I didn’t realize just how much of the page The Kid’s whatever-this-is was actually taking up, and no webcomic’s worth giving somebody seizures.  It’s too bad, because I really do like the full-speed flashy effect.  I just gotta remember to keep the glowy orbs a lot smaller next time The Kid shows up.

Also, YAY FOR VAGUE REFERENCES!
