    Sounds like a Star Trek episode.

        …. I cannot believe I’ve been reading this for like 10 years now. I first picked up this strip in middle school

    Did the evil version at least wash his hands?

    The thing he did with alt-Claire wasn’t very nice, either.

    We have no confirmation that alt-Artie is actually dead. He could be biding his time, waiting for our Sergio to fall for our Artie, then take our Artie’s place!

      The stream in the background, a clear allusion to Jean de Florette, is the writers’ hint that the switch already happened. I expect other small easily misinterpreted signs to pop up as the story progresses. The real meaning of the chapter lies in the gap between what we are shown and the understated clues to what is actually happening. Readers looking for an uncomplicated happy ending will be left satisfied until they wake up in the middle of the night five years from now.

        Anyone looking for an uncomplicated happy ending will be unsatisfied forever.

          Sounds of choirs: “For Ev-er….and ev-ver…..hallelujiah….

    Artie is well meaning enough to fall into villainy, but he’s also too deep inside his own head to actually be a threat. He’s only effective at anything other than accidentally causing mayhem when he’s running on instinct instead of intellect.

      And his instinct is to burrow under some wood chips so owls don’t eat him.

        Now I want to see him turn into a human midflight, just to see the surprised look on the owl.

    Artie mention your name right now!!

    …yes I am yelling at a comic character to do something. Yes it’s a comic from over a year ago.

    And I bet you’ve had such a reaction to fiction before too, so don’t judge.
