STORYTIME ROULETTE #4: MOUNTEBANK

For the next few days I'm going to be hitting the random comic button on readcomiconline and storytiming whatever comes up. Today's comic(?): Mountebank! I somehow managed to get something weirder than The Squirrel Machine. This appears to be a compilation of some guy's trippy drawings/designs done in sharpie on graph paper, with a few more traditional comic strip type pages here and there. Let's read it!

You really out here trying to make Squirrel Machine seem coherent and straightforward.

I will say I do like the squiggles he fills things in with.
Like a rougher version of Felix Congrave background stuff.

I wonder the organization method he is using on the numbering at the bottom of each page.
It's not clear what changing of capital letters mean.
Could this all be from different sketchbooks and this is the "best of"?
Could certain pages have matching themes or messages and they're organized by how the creator was feeling that day?

Why is it crappy indie art comics are hardly entertaining but often thought provoking.

yeah idk, I thought they were just page numbers but who knows what the letters mean.
