What’s that all about?
Global warming commentary? Then what does the river have to do with it?
I’ll also point out that the comic has acknowledged its 2-dimensional nature, since the little dam of sand that Megan put in front of the sandcastle has blocked the entire sea…
But that’s not consistent either, since they’ve clearly been walking behind the sandcastle on multiple occasions.
Nearly on 600. Randall’s drawn 600+ of these things (although obviously with a lot of cutting and pasting) - that’s dedication to an artistic concept.
I have to admit something. I’ve stopped Waiting For It.
I’ll check It every few days to see if It is still happening, and once It’s done, I’ll catch up.
Not me! I’ve had it open in a tab ever since it started.
Anyway, I know what they’re building.
Suspense?
Care to share?
I was not expecting the little castles on the railing of the pier.
Yeah, me neither. I though they were building a gondola for a blimp or balloon, but now I’m not sure.
Maybe it’ll be a city in the sky.
An arrow-shaped fish just jumped out of the water and is heading straight for our heroes! No, wait, that’s my mouse pointer, which for some reason is black today.
The suspense is sort of slackening for me too. What about a pool for when the sea will over-top Megan’s marker and flow into the first castle? I’ll go with Thursday, April 18, at 4pm PDT.
I’m ready for there to be a button to click that will email me and let me know when the whole thing is done, so I can just check it out then.
I suspect that rather defeats the purpose of what he’s trying to do, though.
Maybe they’re building Columbia from Bioshock: Infinite
Which means the sandcastle on the beach becomes Rapture…
The sea level’s risen another half pixel while they’re discussing the nature of rain. That marker may not live to see Thursday at all. No one else wants to take a guess?
I’m sure all this talk of the “river” is important somehow, but I just want to know where this is going.
Comparing time to a river? Other rivers = parallel universes or something? I’m just grasping at straws here.
And the sea has overtopped Megan’s barricade, so if you had Tuesday afternoon down come and collect your prize.
Nobody had anything at all, and my guess turned out to be way off. Megan and Cueball seem to be concerned by it though, enough to come down off their platform and examine it more closely.
Now when will the water overflow the battlements of the forward tower? Or will the tower collapse before that happens?
Adam and Eve situation? Neither seems to know anything about the world beyond their current situation.
Their ignorance (whatever the cause) might account for their disgust at the taste of the water. If up until now, they’ve only encountered fresh water, salt water would taste terrible, and they’d have no idea why.
Despite their ignorance, though, they still seem to know about castles and trebuchets.
The forward tower is on the brink of collapse as the rising sea level eats away at it. Strange, because the “marker” was able to hold back the entire sea until it was completely under water. Maybe King Canute can explain it.
So we spent the weekend with Megan building an elaborate sand castle on the upper platform, then she lies down underneath it.
And now Beret Guy has shown up. This won’t end well.
