We pan out to find out that Belville is enclosed in a snow globe and this has all been an autistic boys dream.

Aggie wakes up suddenly. Every single moment of every strip but the first couple has just been a very long, detailed (and unbeknownst to her, but knownst to us, 100% accurate and prophetic) dream she's been having. She has to live through all of it again, but this time with the vaguely annoying feeling that she's done this before.

Yeah. But by the twentieth or thirtieth run through, she gets really awesome at it.

It all eventually comes back to St. Elsewhere, doesn't it?

And she finds that she can hit spacebar to cut through the conversation quickly and get to the sex scene.

I had a feeling I'd have to add in a clause of "She just gets the feeling she's done it before, but never actively remembers it." Stupid Groundhog Day Loops, giving people ideas that take away the impact of my sadistic thoughts...

It turns out Penny is magic, and an alien race needs her to fight in a galactic war against their enemies. She is initially reluctant, so she gets chased around by alien clones of herself. Finally, she gives up and goes. Aggie misses her so much that she becomes a drunken wreck, until a magic lesbian uses a portal in a waterfall to send her onto the alien planet.

…did I mention the genderless baby? I think I did…

Aggie actually died of her allergic reaction. The last strips have all been Penny's attempts to sanitize her life, making it palatable for her reading audience.

The last strip will open with her talking about her book at book signing. As she speaks and answers reader questions, we learn:

1. Lisa died during the Iraq War
2. Brandi and Kay Ann married Stan and Jack... but the couples are reversed. BRandi/Jack, Katy Ann/Stan.
3. Lynda's a lesbian and Penny's dad is dead

etc etc

Too meta? Seventh season Roseanne, anyone?

All we see for most of the strip is the audience. In the last panel, we see that Penny is Cyborg Starbuck's Assistant Manager Penny.

Penny and Aggie make up and go to college in boston. First day on campus they are eaten by a trap door alligator. Subjected to hellfire and dancing ferrets for all eternity.

In the 2036 Presidential election, Republican Aggie narrowly defeats the Democratic Bob/Elmer ticket.

So, I ask you, while there is still time for wild speculation: what is the worst possible way this whole thing could turn out?


Aggie is still in the hospital and this has all been a dream a-la Jacob's Ladder.

When leaving Aggie's house, Penny gets hit by a drunk driver, later dying in hospital.

Cyndi has been reading both Sophie's World and the Harry Potter books. After T stops writing, she manages to escape her storyline, contact Tom Riddle, and together they manage to enter our reality. She posts to these forums pretending to be Aggie, claiming P&A is based on a true story, and that she will marry Penny soon and would like to invite some special forum members to the party.

Some of us do go to that party. Now-real Penny and Aggie have been brought there, looking very scared. Lisa tries to say something funny about Inception, but nobody laughs. Cyndi and Tom appear on the scene, they have lots of fun torturing and killing both forum and cast members.

Finally, only Alice and Lisa are left. Cyndi forces Alice to hold her wand and point it at Lisa, and says "Complete the sentence: Avada..."
