“I presume” you’re wondering why the journal page in today’s panel 1 is dated “FEB. 12 FRIDAY“. It’s not Batiuk playing fast and loose with continuity (for once). “I presume” that it’s a page from Batiuk’s journal of his own Kili trek in February of 2010. “I presume” that James who we meet today is based on Batiuk’s guide, who is seen in the Kilimanjaro pic from the official FW site’s Archives page. And “I presume” that Les fully intends to make good on his promise to say “I presume” “every five minutes” on this trip, in which case, fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen: it’s going to be…an “African massage”.
