This is the second of two bonus comics that follow Multiplex #115 in the Chapter 6 eBook — and the Book 2 print collection, eventually — this time, jumping forward a little from the New Year’s 2007 arc. (The New Year’s arc started here, if you want to refresh your memory of the whole arc.) In case you missed Multiplex #115 1/3: Wish You Weren’t Here earlier this week, you’ll want to read that first.
I’ve got five more bonus comics for Chapter 6 left before I can release the eBook, and I’d like to crank them out as quickly as possible, but bills come first, of course. If you’d like to speed up the process for Chapter 6 and/or Book 2, please feel free make a donation or buy something from the Multiplex Store or whatevz.
I’ve not actually seen The Apartment (yeah, I know NOTHING ABOUT FILM!) but is that the movie they’re both watching? I’m guessing because of the poster.
Yes. That’s Jack Lemmon in both stills (with Shirley MacLaine in the last panel).
Of course, once you point it out I recognize him immediately.
It’ll be a lot easier to recognize him in print, too, of course.
On the plus side, there was enough context in the comic itself (and the well defined characters) that I had a good idea of what was happening without that extra detail.
