- color contrast of the Grandfather and the warrior- in beige muted colors conveys that he might be in a different / safer time; normal, identifiable environment can symbolize how shitty person like this exists in our own lives
- calmly sipping tea whilst warrior is on the ground after being stabbed- Grandfather in an immense position of power, treats warriors like chess pieces, amongst Cold War setting can symbolize how American troops are exploited by the military industrial complex
- OMG there's a literal baby
- interesting how changes to pink/blue at humans encased in tubes scene
- Grandfather talking in plain English, while Cardinal speaks in some medieval, alien hybrid language yet communication is still clear- Grandfather's power transcends time??
- Cardinal's panels are so small, while GF's is so large- power dynamic
- people in tubes look very caught off guard
- perhaps significance of Apple- people's information and identities being harvested for energy/capital? amount of people captured may speak to the overwhelming scope of technology impinging on our every day lives— lack of agency and dehumanization, giving off warehouse vibes

Missiles (CCCP) and a spaceship as visual representations of growing tensions between foreign nations (Cold War). She's not looking at them directly; she's only vaguely aware of what's happening in the world ("remember when you spaced in Social Studies")

Not clear passage of time except for small visual hints

Slow build up from level 1 to level 35 (over course of multiple pages/panels) and then in the next moment quickly back to one.

Time is cyclical as well. Emphasizing having to start all over again.

Evokes feeling of purgatory and limbo (thinking of biblical metaphors). Trapped in liminal period. Tiffany says she say her whole life flash before her but just playing that dumb game

The Apple with the bullet looks similar to the shirt the Grand Father is wearing at the end p. 137

If the apple also represents big tech companies, the way that it's bleeding could show how its workers are exploited for profit.

Also, apple as a biblical symbol (lots of mentions of religion throughout the comic). The bleeding apple as a representation of her not believing in God (reference to Santa comment?)

- Slightly dated references to Rocky Dennis and Mask/Eric Stoltz (all made by Erin -- the other girls don't understand any of what she's saying) -- relating it to conversation of monsters.
