1 Mercutio: Hmmm. Something weird is happening at the Large Hadron Collider...
1 Ophelia: What is it?
2 Mercutio: Time has gone into a loop!
3 Mercutio: I don't know what's causing it, but if this continues just one more time, it could tear apart the very fabric of the universe!
4 Mercutio: Hmmm. Something weird is happening at the Large Hadron Collider...
4 Ophelia: What is it?

5 Jamie: So, Death of Suspense, what happens when this dynamite goes off?
6 Death of Suspense: YOU KILL YOUR PAST SELVES, CAUSING A PARADOX THAT TEARS APART THE VERY FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE.
7 Adam: Cool!
7 Death of Suspense: OOPS, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU THAT...
8 [sound]: Fwackoom!

Yeah, giving away what's about to happen is probably a bad career move for you if your name is Death of Suspense.

He probably posts movie spoilers to web forums too.

2021-04-17 Rerun commentary: Looking back on this story, I can't recall exactly why I decided to show what is essentially two strips in different themes each day. It highlights the simultaneity of the events being shown, and also compresses it a bit, rather than have it extend over twice as many days of publication. It also provides a bit of a change to the familiar status quo, thus signalling that something truly unusual is happening. These are all good reasons - I just can't remember if I thought of all of them at the time, or if it was one in particular that I was thinking (and if so, which one).
