I've heard some people say that the comic starts too slowly for their tastes... I find that it suits me perfectly, but what I generally tell people is "Stick through to the end of chapter 3, then see how you feel about it". It's a lot of comic to get through, but to me it seems like a good place for it, because this is where we get the first real taste of just what creepiness is out there, rather than it existing as some kind of unknown looming threat.

Anyway. This sure is the chapter that solidified my Emil/Lalli shipping. That "good night" scene was way too cute. But also: Sleep!

Also, this chapter has Agneta, one of my favourite one-off characters. :D I just - I don't know, it's like the prologue folks, it only takes a few pages to get me attached to somebody. (Also, she has really cool hair) ** "A highly unusual degree of inconvenience"... is that what you call it?* On my list of Stuff To Write is some worldbuildy stuff involving her and the other people working on the Dalahästen train... some day, some day.
