A pile of broken bineural implants; I’m guessing there’s probably a good chance that they’re related to the deadly malware?
I can understand the grave robbing, but how in the hell did he get ahold of Dan’s temporary cover? … or was that some sort of “laughing-man” character’s cover?
If its Dan’s I thought the rehab ‘officer(s)’ snagged it?
Sandman’s office is top tier! Was the plaque there prior, or is Sandman that patriotic/nationalistic?
Not Dan’s cover, no. Though I am now considering recolouring it so it doesn’t confuse people.
Sandman’s “office”‘s an abandoned metro station, so the soviet decor is part of it.

I, too, am gladdened by the presence of so many cyber-puppers.
The Hunter Thompson two thumb fist with peyote button? I mean Hunter didn’t die until 2005 in our reality, is he in Dan’s neck of the woods pursuing gonzo journalism? Did he die there?
Also, WTF HAPPENED WITH NATE?
You guys are killing me :P
Does Sandman speak Russian as a second language, or is he just a fellow of few words? Or both?
Considering Stradania is supposedly in rather close proximity to Russia and other countries potentially using similar languages, I’m just assuming they have been speaking their own language this whole time and the webcomic is in English for reader convenience. Inter-universe shenanigans. Although, like in the real world, English may be heavily prevalent due to English being the business language, good for globalization and commerce.
Sandman speaks Russian just fine – he just prefers to stay short and to the point.

Jesus CHRIST! Sandman, this is way too many dogs.
That’s subjective. I count four dogs Sandman has, including the one he came in with.
My house is home to SIX. Eight when my sister comes to visit, and brings her dogs with.
It is exactly as much of a pain as you’d imagine. Dog hair everywhere.
I spy with my eyes a new fancy cover for Dan’s implant. :D Looks like it might have some kind of historical symbolism to it, which Dan, Sandman or the hologram may mention/comment in some manner in the next few pages.
Is that a hologram of Hunter S. Thompson?
Not a hologram, but a memory of a DS operator gone a while ago, Fear_and_Loading. Seems like he was a decent fan of Hunter S. Thompson :)
