Commentary:

OK, so this whirlpool thing plays a big part in the story. I don’t know if I actually had anything planned out for it at the time, but I doubt it. I have pretty much been making this up as I go along. I think Burgundy did have prior knowledge of the whirlpool, but I don’t know if retconning that would actually change any of the story, because I think it might be better if she didn’t. I will have to think about that.

This is also the first page where my weird way of doing skies is fully realized. The last few pages have had some proto-skies, but this is the first page with it really close to how it ends up later on.
