Torg and Gwen keep talking about going east to face the monsters, but the strips for 1/13 and 1/14 establish the monsters and Swinorje as west of Orsintos Labs.
That's because of a lingering magic spell that reverses east and west in the area. You see, before bishop Osterhagen came along with the Artifact, the Orsintos lab in Poland was built to research military applications of compass-point-reversing spells to make the enemy march in the wrong direction. They were in the middle of a test when they were all turned into hate monsters, and the spell was never cancelled. The fact that they could build a Western military research lab in the East Bloc illustrates how effective the spell is.
On a more serious note... I brought up an
actual map of the area and compared it to the map in the strip. It looks correct...though it looks like Pete rotated it counter-clockwise somewhat. So east and west are close to the directions we expect them to be. The the monsters are east (well more SE) of the town. Torg and Gwynn are the same... So why would they keep saying they have to go east?
It would appear that Rombobjörn's explanation would make the most sense.
