WCDT Strips 3886 - 3890 (3rd - 7th December 2018)
zioninavision:
i am enjoying the reference-yet-not to Alice Grove!! That is, it was left unrevealed what the circumstances of the moon were that would have put into motion the specific event within the story.
Beepatrice's idea would certainly fit, but, it could have also been something entirely different! Overall I am fond of the idea that there are now theories and perhaps unusual aspects of the moon in both of Jeph's multiverses!!
brasca:
It would be cool if she was somehow related to Corpse Witch, but I think she's just a charity manager.

Agreed. I miss that strip. I still keep my eyes peeled for background characters that look like Ardent and Gavia.
Theta9:
I take it that by "dark side" Beepatrice actually means the far side of the Moon, the hemisphere that always faces away from Earth. There is no "dark side" of the Moon; the entire satellite experiences a normal day/night cycle. </ObPedant>
Storel:
Technically, the dark side of the moon is the side currently facing away from the sun...
BenRG:
The purpose of today's strip appears to be to remind Roko that everyone has their own little strange quirks and that you therefore should be less hasty to consider yourself 'weird' in any way. I'm guessing Jeph is saying that she should be less harsh on herself.
Interestingly, there really is a conspiracy theory like the one Beeptrice describes. Robert Bigelow, the space entrepreneur and casino owner strongly subscribes to it. He wants to build a space station in lunar orbit just to prove it.

The term 'dark side' to refer to the side of the Moon that always points away from Earth is firmly rooted in popular culture, having appeared in both music and film.
