Yes! I'm almost finished the 4th PFM comic. Our plan is to build up a decent buffer before we launch officially.

My interpretation was that before the prior universe and pasq vanished he remembered a really horrible day in Allison's life he wished he could have made better but old pasq probably made worse with his own depression and crying, so his final act was to go back and do what he wished he had done that day. And the end he gets a glimpse of that new universe with Aurora replacing his existence and sees that Allison will be happy in that universe too.

That is nicer than my interpretation of "a hallucination Pasq had while rocketing through the universe." I'll go with yours.

Yeah, the key panel that indicates this happened afterwards is when Pasq sees a glimpse of his cybernetic hand holding the egg.

My interpretation of it all was we were witnessing him re-creating the new universe where pretty much everything was the same, except now Pasq isn't a total blubberpus. He's tweaking and making changes as the day plays out. By the end of the day, he realizes the final thing he needs to do: get rid of himself entirely and have Aurora in his place.

I wonder if the characters will ever talk about this Christmas day event in Please Forgive Me, but their memories will be that it was Aurora-Pasq all along, and not It Hurts Pasq.

Fun story about that comic, there have been studies into how to make signs that are universal hazard symbols for all humans regardless of culture specifically because of Yucca Mountain and the need for extremely long term (like ten millenia) storage of high level nuclear waste.

And it's difficult because humans are curious, skeptical bastards who might assume the big pile of "DANGER" symbols were just foolish primitives scared of curses or something. Plus anything that stands out draws people to it, like in the comic.

But we can't bury it in a featureless area with no warnings at all because then people might just stumble on it anyway.

We are assuming that humans won't already have adapted to the heavily irradiated post-nuclear hellscape they'll be living in by the time they find that stuff anyway.

A point someone else raised in previous discussion of this that I hadn't considered is that there's another bad scenario too. If we do our job well enough to convey "lethally dangerous and nearly impossible to tell if it's killing you with its mere presence" and whoever finds it is human, it will take them about ten seconds to go "perfect, let's dig it up and throw it at our enemies!"
