Page 2: issue 4 - A Saucerful of Secrets

Club 501 is really the gay bar in Redding. I tried to get what it looks like right, but I really didn't. The interior (as will be seen starting next update) is actually done a bit better, but it's not like I have to be completely exact–its situation is a little different.

I'm sure you're wondering why Julie looks so different here than in the previous chapter. Well, last issue showed her job applying. When she's going more casual, her hair is down and her boobs are in. Of course, I do have something to say about the last bit at a later date…

And you wouldn't believe how hard it was to get that last bit that she says in there. Originally, her “What's that?” was going to be spoken and in Laotian, but there seem to be no English to Laotian translators online, and I'm not downloading or buying anything. I have precious little disc space and precious little money. Also, when she opened the secret door, she was supposed to just say something like “Wow”, but I went with what I have here. How did I get that phrase? On a site that had useful phrases for English-speaking people traveling to Laos. I'll let people translate at their leisure. Likely any other time she speaks in Laotian it will be English in carats.

No cameos or references in this page, but there wasn't room for any, really. But you do see the designate for Eiderdown's reality: KC stands for Karabear Comics and designates the megaverse (usually that would be my spot for the multiverse designation, but I do have another multiverse that also uses KC–remember, a megaverse is a close grouping of multiverses) while Earth-7 is self-explanatory.

Tomorrow: What's through the doorway?
