The first thing I thought of was those postcards Kat sent Annie while on her summer vacation.

I did think of that as well, although we did have a bit of an Annie/Kat drama thing a few chapters ago, so I don't know. Although aren't they about due for another summer vacation? It was last summer, in story time, that Annie spent in the forest, right? That's been like a million chapters ago.

I recall that those pictures are simply a dropped plotline from the very early days of the comic.

Q: Will the odd glowing paintings in the old library seen early in the comic ever be explained or were they just there to add mystique?

A: I cut out that sub plot.

Let me tell you of the world I used to know
Sun is almost setting over the sea yet the palm tree has a clearly defined shadow under it, meaning there is a second sun high in the sky. This chapter takes place in a nightmarish planet with permanent daylight.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I'm sure everything will be fine. They won't get stranded for weeks, the ship won't sink, and they won't get stranded on an island for years, although that would be a weird place to take the comic. Oh, also I'm sure no one will get murdered and thrown in the sea as is wont to happen in these circumstances. Also no pirates, ghost pirates, or sea monsters, unless you count the giant crustacean on this page.

My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre and that I am therefore excused from saving universes.
The cruise runs aground on an island in the Bermuda triangle and it turns out Gunnerkrigg is actually an elaborate prequel to Lost. It was Coyote in the hatch the entire time!

Fair sized time skip there judging by how much Paz grew her hair out.

Though it's been a few chapters since we saw her so the skip wasn't "now", just that it happened.

(I am assuming that is Paz Kat and Annie together behind Lindsey in panel 1 and Paz in the pink shirt in panel 2)

It's cool that characters we haven't seen in several chapters still get changes corresponding to the time that has passed. That's pretty impressive detail.

I think Kat and Annie are the pink and black tufts of hair hidden in the mass of girls in panel one.
