Leo throws a fit and tosses ALL the history books out the window. And then he crawls under the kitchen table and starts whimpering because TIME IS BROKEN.
Okay. So this wasn’t the way I thought it was gonna go. Personally, I would’ve offered FDR the use of the portals to launch an attack right outside the Fuhrer’s bedroom. Nothing like waking up to a whole bunch of US Marines heck bent on killing you right outside of your door.
The scary part is this: Neal, I think rather deliberately, does NOT post the date where this meeting takes place…but the light coming through the window links back to it being Dec. 1st…which also fits, cuz it wants, of course, to be before Pearl Harbor….
But that just makes the ‘2 weeks later’ blank panel really scary…..
I do appreciate the assumption of more depth to the caption, am quite flattered by it, actually, but in truth it is, in this scene, December first. The two weeks refers to since Squirt’s encounter/dream, which I realize is now about a month of story in the past, so I see why it wouldn’t be as obvious. 😉

You’re gonna love the next few pages. 🙂

Apparently the Hitler lesson has not sunk in.
I think the lesson is clearly “Keep fucking with time until you get it right”

The next page on Monday should clear a lot up.
Metagaming, Charlie did consider that. The reason he’s doing it this way instead will crop up in the next page.
Well, that was unexpected. And both awesome and terrifying. I cannae wait to see the next page…
