I appreciate the compliments, but part of good writing is knowing when not to drag a given plot out and beat it to death. I don't want OOTS to be the webcomic equivalent to a TV series that goes 11 seasons when it should have only gone 7.
    You can even find plenty of examples in webcomics of this.

    Assuming your first line was a joke, we don't know the Linear Guild's entire backstory yet either. Straight off the bat we know Sabine's real loyalties and mission are still up in the air. The latest strip can be taken either way, especially given the title "Where her loyalties lie", which can be straightforward or implying she's lying to one of them. There might be details about Tarquin's group we don't know. Girard might still tie into it somehow, given that Tarquin knows him.
