Author's Commentary

Fans of VG2 might be quick to point out that we have never actually seen Zepulon be able to breathe in the endless confines of outer space. However, more detaile-orientated fans will be even quicker to point out that we have never actually seen Zepulon proven to be unable to breathe in the endless confines of outer space. So, draw your own conclusions- but make it hasty.

#4: Meanwhile...
by MurkSinger

Panel 1: Zepulon is adrift in space, currently passing what looks like a sun that is completely dark, except for the very edges.
Zepulon: "Sheesh, travelling through time and space sure gets old. I think I've passed this anti-sun like five times now!"

Panel 2: We see Zepulon passing two unidentified planets, one large and blue, the other appearing much smaller and brown.
Zepulon: "Hmm. At least it gives me room to think... I wonder how Mr. Babbo is doing. I DID arrive soon enough to give him warning, right?"

Panel 3: Drifting further into space, Zepulon is now outside a star cluster.
Zepulon: "Let's check my chrono-watch... Wait, it says my last destination was [January 19, 2038]... Oh, no, I arrived just on time for it all to go WRONG!"

Panel 4: In a red cloud of stardust, Zepulon appears to have kicked off of something, as he moves head first towards a portal that is just appearing.
Zepulon: "Well, guess I'll just have to reschedule my fateful meeting with Wufflepuff the wonder dog for another century... Oh good, there's a convenient portal here to Mr. Babbo's place."
