Winged life

 

A stick figure with large, feathery wings emerging from the shoulders and arms hanging dejectedly down. "Birds still don't want to hang out with me."

Awfully nebulous

 

A standing person raises hands at their sides and calls out across an empty land, "What is this vague feeling?" A looming cloud says, "It's vagueness. Happy to help."

Here

 

Top caption: You know how sometimes in horror movies, someone looks around and says "We shouldn't be here"? A stick figure standing on a lumpy but featureless plane looks anxious and has a speech bubble leading up to the "We shouldn't be here". Bottom caption: That's how I feel anywhere, all the time. END

Mistakes

 

A smiling person leans way back on the hind legs of a chair, arms folded behind head, and says, "Make one mistake and it could really cost you. Screw up in bulk and you tap into economy of scale."

Hatless

 

Panel 1 of 3: Orlo Cube removes the top hat. Under it, a smaller bowler hat remains on his head. Panel 2 of 3: Orlo removes the second, inner hat, under which is a bright yellow bird. Panel 3 of 3: We see Orlo from the eyes up, head raised for the first time in a long time, the bird still perched atop his head as he looks up over the grey blocky buildings of the studio lot and into a slightly green-blue sky with fluffy clouds.

Shut it down

 

Orlo Cube sits dejected on a curb somewhere on the studio lot, still wearing the top hat. A worker pushes a cart bearing the grave stone of Persephone Waits (as seen in 2024-03-31's comic) and says to Orlo, "Wardrobe's looking for you. They need two hats back."

Midseason cancelation

 

Today's comic is divided into three 'pages' with four panels total. Panel 1 of 4: Orlo Cube, wearing the top hat, bursts into the office of some kind of studio bigwig and says, "You can't cancel Dramatis Personae!" The executive, sitting at their desk, says, "Can and must! It was going nowhere! Just character after quirky character, with the static shots and that weird voice narrating..." Panel 2 of 4: The angle has changed; the reader is now looking over Orlo's shoulder at the executive, still seated at the desk. Now the angle permits a view of a sparsely populated desk, with only a smartphone face down and a stack of folders full of documents. The exec continues: "People can tolerate an auteur, John, but there are limits." Orlo says, "My name is Orlo. Orlo Cube." The exec replies, "Very method. But you gotta let it go. Figure out what's next." Panel 3 of 4: a closeup on Orlo from the chest up, head leaning down so as to obscure Orlo's eyes, hands raised at the sides of face, gestculating. "But we never found out the Secret of the Inner Hat!" Panel 4 of 4: Now Orlo's head droops, eyes still obscured the hat's brim. "*I* never found out."
