Oh yes, the joys of working with Word. After you've worked with it for a while you can believe that it's capable of anything.

Sometimes it's hard to know when I should mention something about the strip itself, especially if it's a small visual thing that adds something to the story or presentation. In this case, I think it's pretty obvious what I've done with Ophelia in the background here. But sometimes I do something similar on a more subtle level, and I feel like I want people to notice it without me being blunt and mentioning it here in the annotations.

Although in one sense that kind of defeats the purpose of annotations, in that they're meant to explain subtle things that the readers might not notice otherwise. But I still want to give you the thrill of noticing something I did, without having any additional clues to help you. It's not always story-related either; sometimes I use what I think of as fairly cool visual effects. But those I don't like to point out so much, because I think the overall effect of the strip is better if you don't consciously notice those.

So... such things are there sometimes, and I don't always mention them...
