It was tricky to come up with a way of denoting that the first three panels are photographs, since the panels in Terror Island are always photographs already. Using Polaroid-type borders around them would have been good, except that the aspect ratio is off, and it might blend into the white background of the strip.

Just so everyone knows, in about two years, the strip is going to be Gunpowder waking up and realizing that it was all a dream. Or was it? Then we'll pull back the shot and reveal that Stephen is actually watching the whole thing on a television inside a snow-globe. And then, just when you thought the twists couldn't get any twistier, we'll reveal that Sid and Stephen are actually the same person, and that they have been dead all along. Since people sometimes complain that twists like this seem unplanned and forced, I wanted to make sure everyone knew that this has been in the works since day one. Or, well, whatever day today is. The point is, you can enjoy the whole remainder of the series knowing that it is all the televised entertainment of the fever-dreams of a ghost with multiple personality disorders.

Also, for anyone doing literary analysis of the strip, it is about man's inhumanity to man. But it isn't saying anything interesting about it. It isn't even making the worthwhile observation that man is, sometimes, inhumane to man. If anything the strip is conveying the claim that Man is inhumane to man if and only if man is inhumane to man. While not as interesting as the observation or comment on actual inhumanity, it has the advantage of being tautologous, and therefore indisputable
