Yes, in case it wasn't clear, that last strip was a dream sequence. Which, yes, is unprecedented in Leftover Soup, but we've had in-game visualizations, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch.

And yes, we are leading - eventually - into a storyline that touches on the Richard Knight thing again. And yes, this was scripted well in advance - it's not a response to events in Ferguson any more than the original mugging was a response to Trayvon Martin. I would call both "coincidences" or "serendipity", were it not that the sociological phenomenon in question is more or less a constant. It'd be like doing a storyline that touches on violence in the Middle East or a school shooting and having it go live at a time when something tangentially related is in the news.
