I've been feeling that comic.
I've been waiting for the USpec crowd to decide that Robot isn't Robot it's just that Kat's calling a robot "robot" because it doesn't have a name.
Edit to add:
I just realized Robot's face is half an emoticon.

To be fair about the confused readers of Chapter Eighteen, Tom's method of showing flashback pages as being flashbacks (such as rounded corners) was rather subtle - perhaps too subtle. Most readers of webcomics are more used to captions in the upper left hand corner of the first panel (Chapter Eleven used that with the countdown to the storm breaking); perhaps if Tom had put up such captions of "Year 8" for the present-day pages and "Year 7" for the flashback pages, the readers wouldn't have been so confused.
But what's done is done. (I was never confused by the flashbacks, I should add.)

I agree todd, I think the rounded corners are subtle enough not to interfere but noticeable enough to make it clear when we're in flashback mode. I noticed the other day that Tom's been using this technique since early on... I didn't notice before that the first two panels of this page were rounded because they represent Annie's memories of scenes from earlier that day as she is thinking about them while laying in bed. When I noticed it, I thought it was really cool.

Does anyone happen to remember what chapter had the flashback of Anja telling Kat to become friends with Annie? You don't have to dig through the archives or anything, just if anyone remembers.
