As I mentioned in yesterday’s strip, everything was going smoothly in this story until P3 of yesterday’s W 8/28/19 strip where Lizz describing Doc ODing just seemed to come out of nowhere. My theory is that originally there was going to be a strip, that was either going to be the Tu 8/27/19 strip or originally the W 8/28/19 strip that was going to show Doc collapsing from an OD, but that censorship blocked that at the last minute. I think that last day’s strip, what’s now the W 8/28/19 strip was originally going to be this day’s strip, the Th 8/29/19 strip. I also think that this day’s strip, what is now the Th 8/29/19 strip was originally going to be the F 8/30/19 strip. I suspect the Sa 8/31/19 strip didn’t have to be changed at all.
OTOH, this day’s strip does flow naturally into the next day’s strip. An alternative theory is that when what would’ve been the Th 8/29/19 strip was moved up to become what’s now the W 8/28/19 strip, that the last 3 daily strips of this week were reworked to give us a slightly different ending.
Retroactively theorizing on the inexplicable
