It depends on the inflection. It might be not now as in not in this moment, but it could also be no not now that you've done this

I read it as "I'm not looking now" as in he made all this effort and she doesn't even realize

Idk why it bothers me, but the two dead people in the first panel don't actually make a letter, and don't appear in the final panel.

The two that lie in a shape are part of the first "w"

Ah yes, I can see that. The gap between the first two people and the third threw me off, I thought the third person was in a different letter.

Edit: upon further inspection, the third person in the first panel is lying on their back, but in the last panel they are on their side, so I'm backtracking my backtrack.

So he's alive! It's a miracle!

Can even see the Y and O of "you" in the first panel

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Aren't they up and to the left of the last panel so shouldn't be visible?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If the people carrying the stretcher hardly move between the first and last panels, then yeah they probably aren't visible. But then it's weird how they are rearranged anyway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think that's a different stretcher in the last panel. The ones we see in the first panel would be loading just off to the right towards the bottom of the last panel.

My name being Frank I have to say I would consider this gesture appropriate.
