Going to be a long night. Perhaps the radio wasn't Stressa's direct doing but more of poo poo is rought for Anemone right now and its setting everything to fritz?



Does she also run the announcer system?

I don't think we're meant to interpret that as the radio cutting out, it's just how the panels are constructed to convey that Rue and Zoe's conversation is happening concurrently with the announcement.

Nah, they specifically comment on the sequence of panels not being normal. And given the previous night had the barrier disappear before the announcer and This page showing the normal announcement speech bubbles even with Rue and Zoe talking alongside it. Zoe in panel 2 has her own dialogue cut off with -- so for the current situation, the audio is definitely cutting out.

My rough guess is about 30 chapters. But probably not many more in-story days. A lot of pieces are lining up to set up a climax but there's also a lot of mysteries to unpick in it, and that lines up reasonably with the pacing of Kiwi Blitz (right down to the main couple getting together in the middle of the story).

"Other people do interstitials now and Tessa even talked cryptically to the camera (or near it), like that's my whole thing! What am I even good for anymore? :("

e: it's been a while since I checked in on the comic and noticed the blue is even getting wiped out from behind the logo! (or maybe it's always been that way and I only now noticed with this plot development)

Wow, good eye! I checked the Internet Archive to make sure, and it was a different logo as of the previous update!


The site layout evolving with the story (like the site section icons) is certainly a nice little touch.

ah geez somebody better tell Rue

Also I wonder if the long blond hair on the creatures might be symbolic somehow. Either of The Woman In White or Stressa's guilt over Sylvia's death manifest.

Chances are they're just long pretty hair monsters but it'd be neat to see Stressa's PTSD manifesting in creatures

Yeah this was my first thought, the style of hair matches -while not 1:1 - her a lot more than the girl in white
https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-3-page-28

long hair usually kept up, but has similar kind of styling. The fact all the monsters look like ponytails, which is how she tended to keep her hair and would look like long strands ifs he let it all down. The specific way her bangs/come over in this panel kinda looks similar too.
And the color matches a little more

Girl in White's hair is long but its not long long, it's poofier and it's more white. Stylistically it's very different.
