All along I planned to have <explanation deleted> at the end of this one. In the end I decided it's better not to have <explanation deleted>, but to allow the reader to fill in the gaps.

When I decided to delete that bit of material from the comic, I planned to mention it explicitly in the annotation. In the end I decided it's better not to mention what it was that I removed in the annotation, because that would kind of defeat the purpose of having removed it in the first place. So I deleted it from the annotation as well, so the reader can fill in the gaps in the comic without being prejudiced by what I say in the annotation.

And then I considered deleting parts of the paragraph above and making things even more circular and self-referential, but that was just being silly.
