OMG, you can see the tip of Squishy's "do it now" flags in the original page! I love it!

I'd have to review the whole series (pretty sure my employer and wife would not be happy with that use of my time,) but I think this is the first time Pete has spent so much time on a flashback from a different perspective than the original. Pretty well done, in my mind, too.

Was this sequence of events REALLY so important that it's necessary to suffer through them twice?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Look, I enjoy Sluggy. And I've been faithfully logging in every day since 2001. But I'm gonna take the summer off. Pete is. Re-using the same art and on a MWF schedule to boot? Yeah..... Nope. See you guys in August.

Aaand we're all caught up.

He's so cute with his little ears flying in the blast-breeze.

Maybe not quite flashback as multiple perspectives, and in much shorter/immediate payoff bursts, but I'd argue this is kind of lightweight compared to what Pete did in Ten Minutes at a Party

Don't think that we'll miss you.

And BTW, Pete is not simply re-using the same art. Compare the last frame in http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/150507 and the last frame in http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/150626. In the first one Pete correctly spells "doesn't"; in the most recent one he 'doesn't' spell it correctly, putting "dosen't" instead.

So, Pete, with friends like me, who needs enemies?? ;-)

"Reusing". It seems you completely missed the point, OneRing/Zylon. Pete is showing how what the characters said in the past actually had a completely different meaning, now that we get the whole picture. That is actually very obvious, and it is quite clever - everyone else sees that, which makes me wonder.
