whereas this moment has been wrapped up in their mutual history, in the fact that kent is not afraid of jack and doesn't let jack take center stage, has agency with him in a way bitty hasn't necessarily exhibited. there's something really compelling to me as a reader about two characters who are both agents in a conversation. in a way that bitty often doesn't seem to be an agent. and particularly in this strip is not an agent at all, is silent, and in fact a passive observer to the highest degree. within the text that has particular implications and as a reader for all the reasons you just outlined that leaves kent with a certain kind of narrative urgency that bitty with his constantly reaffirmed happy ending we just don't get. i don't feel any urgency about bitty especially now that i've read the whole comic. but even when i was reading this yes there was a certain amount of urgency and then, after he and jack got together there was less urgency and by year 4 there was zero urgency. very little narrative propulsion. and in part that was because of the constant reassurance of his happy ending. i think there's something happening here where there's questions unsolved. there's something to discover as a reader and i think that's a huge part of it too.

And I'm so sorry, baby But we call it like we see it in Chicago

AND the guy developed color slide processing as well. as a person fairly familiar with modern b/w processing at home, but never EVER stepping into color (negatives or slides) territory, i’d say, BAMF to the highest degree.
