Apparently, the supporting cast has been sneaking around and meeting while we've been focusing on the main characters: I mean, the only scene I can think of that Alice and Gana have shared before this is back near the end of Act I of "A Long, Long Trail A-Winding," our 24th storyline, and there, they're just standing next to each other in the background of one panel!
The figure lurking in the foreground at the end of this update, however, well, I doubt I'm enough of any artist so folks'll recognize him without a clue, so let me direct your attention to this page near the end of Act II of our previous storyline, "The Way of All Flesh." We'll be seeing more of him as this storyline progresses.
