OK, here's the new issue of Tongues! ... sort of.  Basically, Anders realized after the fact that he needed to bring to the light of publication aspects of the story that were lurking beneath the surface of his conscious understanding of what was transpiring in the epic mythic (unconscious) space of his narrative, and so we now have this: Tongues Supplement No. 1 (the number preparing us for the possibility of further supplementation).

As anyone who has been following this amazing tale up to this point knows, the feeling one gets reading each issue is that it is only the tip of the iceberg; that there is far more going on than what meets the eye.  And this feeling of knowing that there is so much more going on, and that it is not only unknown but unknowable, provides an eerie frisson that is a major part of the experience.

So, what will reading this supplemental material be llike?  We'll let you know... For now, we can tell you that – roughly speaking – the two scenes that are presented in this issue's 33 pages of comics take place in a temporal lag that occurs between issues four and five.

And, in case anyone is wondering, yes, this issue is in the same oversized French-flapped format as all the other issues of the series.
