I had a theory about the Snarl...

[KorvinStarmast]

What information we get on the planet in the rift might flip the table. It won't make the table into a credenza.

Well played, with the furniture anyway.

I kind of like the idea of a mindless logic storm tearing apart any illogical constructs it encounters.

Which would collapse any D&D-based world long before the strip started. The snarl is much closer to elemental chaos than any of the things you mentioned, in that the gods in the three pantheons had to impose order (the world) on chaos (the snarl) for there to be a world to live in and on.

Rinse and repeat, since rust never sleeps, and apparently neither does the snarl.

(See also Moorcock's stories on the constant struggle between Law and Chaos; it's the underpinning of both the Elric books and a few of his other Eternal Champion cycle books).
