2021-05-02 Rerun commentary: So... this is going to be a tricky next few strips to write rerun annotations about.

At the time, I recall this caused a lot of speculation. An explanation would only come after several more strips, which I don't want to pre-empt here.

Stretching out a mystery over a week or more of initial publication time might have seemed like too long back then... but it's going to feel like even longer on this rerun schedule!
