Gotta say, I have to hand it to Pete to be able to create an entire alt-reality version of the Endgame for Sluggy, just to give himself plenty of loopholes to keep us guessing even MORE for the actual Sluggy Prime Endgame.
Few people could tell their story REPEATEDLY in different ways across dimensions and still keep their fans waiting with baited breath for how its going to all pan out. :)
(Just wanted to acknowledge my serious respect for his craft, even if some of the stuff on Friday confused me a little bit on flow.
I think it was Torg's mood swinging at the end, too that kinda threw me (and Riff apparently). Though overall, seeing him in "business mode" is feeling pretty cool, in a semi-business shirt like a President in a situation room, and very intense/focus. RE-reading book 1 today, love how he's evolved as a character
Also, anyone notice how Chaz is just suspended in air in the final panel? Just noticed it on a re-read today, its almost like Torg got so caught up in his ego trip that he forgot to put it back down and gravity followed suit. Funnier that way, actually :) ).
Ermm... I dunno, still not quite buying it. I guess I can see Torg blaming himself since he didn't see Riek take the squid out of containment--for all he knows it wriggled out from under the door. But as a reader I can't bring myself to blame Torg for someone else's dumbassery. 
You're probably right about Riff, though. I was thinking too much in terms of him saving 4U city and not enough about him falling back into the fold at the end of 758449. Now that I've thought about it, I can think of any number of occasions where he's despaired, but then recovered his heroic nature to save the day. But in terms of today's comic, my question still stands: who does he think is going to deal with the R&D Wars if not him and Torg?
