Sequential Art

So how come their isn't a thread of this yet, eh?

Furthermore, as... pleasant as the recent strip (www.collectedcurios.com/SA_0633_small.jpg I don't know how to link) is, I sure this is All Just a Dream.

It better be.

http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=633 There's the link, should be clickable.

I wouldn't call that "pleasant" considering what she was just going through. What that bunny was doing would be called harassment in the real world. Legally she should be handed a restraining order. Less logically I'd rather see her kicked out of there hard enough her ovaries cry for mercy.

(Psst. Links are explained in the "Show Markup Help" section. Just click it and read.)

Seeing that Kat's friend somehow turned into gothy, little spook-fish out of nowhere... dream sounds about right.

Plus don't forget about the transition into this whole sequence. If this isn't a dream after that, Good Old Jolly Jack needs a good old punch in the face.

I so totally did not see that coming

At least dreaming is a relatively good sign, since it means Kat's actually alive and breathing? Plus you generally don't dream when you're knocked unconscious.

Plus you generally don't dream when you're knocked unconscious.

There's probably a trope for that. This is far from unprecedented.

uximata: I took that for a Visual Gag.

Just thought - my guess right now is Kat sustained severe injuries (which, well, it would have to be to really knock her out) and required CPR. The "kiss" and the bit preceding it - blow to the torso, both participants in close quarters breathing hard - is that CPR manifesting itself in the dream. If I'm correct, she'll be waking up soon.

Let's hope it's Vanity giving the kiss of life, then.

The current arc is not indicative of the majority of the comic, anyway. Most of the characters are human or things strange and unusual.

This one's just focusing on a small set of characters.

@Ezekiel: If your theory is true, we have just the trope for that: Crashing Dreams.

From the trope page:

a passionate kiss, (which turns out to be either an animal licking their face or an unappealing friend giving them the Kiss Of Life)

Vanity was also passed out...

I vote in Ray giving the kiss.

or maybe Egg...

Here's a thought... Vanity's hair is wavy/curly in earlier strips but in this dream world it's straight. It's probably just how she had her hair in college but, I like to WMG that its a sort of manifestation of the near-drowning.

Kat woke up... and reacted much the way I would have expected.

No face-huggers in sight.

NAAAH!

....

Where did the candles came from? The room has just been flooded.

I don't think it's the same room... but either way, the room they were in didn't have a lot of water in it when they cut scene.

Yeah, I think you're right. We'll have to wait to see who moved them/lighted the candles.

Heh, I'm amused at her scraping her tongue clean. Such a natural response.

Amusing as this interlude is I think it's starting to drag a bit...

I'm fairly sure the room they are in is surrounded by plot points. I can see them. They have simply not been commented upon yet.
