&lt;!-- Ben Comments --&gt;
Thanks for reading, everyone. Working on &lt;cite&gt;Terror Island&lt;/cite&gt; has 
been a great experience, but we feel it's reached its end. I hope you've 
enjoyed the comic and will continue to enjoy rereading the archives.
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
Oh, and if you want to keep up with my webcomic involvement, check out 
&lt;a href="http://www.requestcomics.com/"&gt;Request Comics&lt;/a&gt;. It's not 
quite the same sort of strip, but it's still a photocomic. You like 
photocomics, right?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lewis's Notes&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;!-- Lewis Comments --&gt;
Don't worry too much, Ben and I are in the progress of planning our 
next collaboration, though we don't have a definite timetable yet.  
So check back here periodically to find out when Ben and 
I embark on our new adventure!

Ben's rough draft for panel three was "blah blah blah balance." I 
"jazzed it up" a bit.

&lt;!-- Ben Comments --&gt;
See, not everyone is upset about Sid and Stephen being lost in the 
wilderness. For instance, I'm not, because they're just fictional 
characters and I don't particularly like them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lewis's Notes&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;!-- Lewis Comments --&gt;
I'm not worried about them because logical fatalism has obviated any 
need to have concern about the future, after all, it is out of our 
control entirely.
&lt;/p&gt;

OK, I was going to save these for after the election, but I just can't 
hold back that long. Here are some AMAZING anagrams of the vice

Now we see the dangers inherent in having a Labor Day sale. If only 
someone had been there to warn Furniture Store Guy.

LORD TERROR'S FURNITURE STORE IS ACTUALLY QUITE WELL ARRANGED, WITH THE 
MORE POPULAR ITEMS ON TOP OF THE PILE FOR EASIER ACCESS.

Do you like webcomics? If you answered "yes," you should check out &lt;a 
href="http://www.thinkin-lincoln.com/"&gt;Thinkin' Lincoln&lt;/a&gt;, a webcomic 
about history and some people from history; &lt;a 
href="http://www.fchords.com/"&gt;F Chords&lt;/a&gt;, a webcomic about music and 
some people who play music; and &lt;a 
href="http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/"&gt;Dudley's Dungeon&lt;/a&gt;, a webcomic 
about NetHack and some ASCII characters from NetHack.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lewis's Notes&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;!-- Lewis Comments --&gt;
I think that if there is one point about the plot readers are most 
likely to forget, it is that Liln and Jame are dating.  I'm not entirely 
sure why this is, since basically everything in the strip revolves 
around their relationship (the proof of this is left as an exercise to 
the reader).
&lt;/p&gt;

Lewis, aren't bugbears from Europe? Why would they be around Geography 
City?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lewis's Notes&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;!-- Lewis Comments --&gt;
Geography City was originally founded by the Spanish, who inadvertently 
introduced the bugbear to California by not checking the undersides of 
their ships carefully enough.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Back then, the city was known as &lt;i&gt;La Ciudad de Geograf&amp;iacute;a&lt;/i&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;

Check out Aorist's reflection in York in panel three. This is what

Ben is so good at scripting my comments, that I wanted to just let him 
do it all the time. Unfortunately, he wasn't a fan of that plan, so this 
is what you all get.

This script was inspired by my own trip to Joshua Tree, insofar as 
that involved desert camping.  I had shelter and food, and 
protection from desert snakes.

That hill in the forest was actually more slippery than it looked. True

By the way, I'm back in California now, so the non-canonical strips of 
last week shouldn't need to continue.

You may not be able to tell, but Panther is so confused by the forest 
that he is accidentally addressing his comments to the nearby acorn, 
which he is mistaking for Stephen.

Hey, remember that one time, when this strip hadn't really broken the 
fourth wall?  Well it still mostly hasn't, because of a little thing 
called 'strips outside the main continuity'.  Or at least, that is what 
we are telling ourselves.
