The Tacky Mahal – Intermission, Strip 4

So as far as diffences between the slightly banged-up timeline and the original one are concerned, this one here doesn’t even concern the past, but rather the future.

In the world inhabited by our heroes, a certain pop singer is no more, having disappeared without a trace after having last been seen entering a dilapidated windmill in the Dutch quarter of London, which later burned down.

Naturally, there would be many memorials of various sizes and styles all over the world, so I had to make an educated guess as to where the premier memorial would be located, and which shape it would take.
