This is a weird little story about a lone survivor of a plane that crashed in the Andes – a clear nod to the story of the soccer team that went through the same ordeal. Here, the whole subject of cannibalism that was the most prominent portion of the original story is heavily implied, but never stated outright. In fact, this page is the closest that anyone (including the main character) gets to mentioning it. This part of the story is told in past tense and the survivor is now at home and well-adjusted. Except for the weird baby abductions that seem to keep happening around him….
I liked this page because it’s more visually interesting than anything else in the story. The drop shadow on the fourth panel highlights the fact that the image is actually meant to be a photograph – no idea who took it or developed it.
