Diablo-chicken! We can't go to the end of this comic strip! There's a monster there!
How do you know that?
Because that's what the title of the strip is!
But it says "There's a monster at the end of this strip (1)", which leads you to believe that this is going to be a longwinded, self indulgent strip series. We've got time.
Everyone is a director-auteur now, huh?
I blame Truffaut for making that style assessable to everyone...and also the guy who made Independence Day.
