Filip Schaff, the character posing as the author’s self insert, does appear in #10, #97, and #100. However this page where he lampshades the fact he repeats panels is from #10.
In #97 Mark does meet him again and they lampshade a need for something overly dramatic needed for a hundredth issue that may alienate the readers, though the repeating panel joke is done again, but different from here. In #100 he serves as a minor part of the collage of dramatic reactions to what happened in that issue.
lol my brain must be fried. I found the 15 versions of the cover thing in issue 97, that’s one of the ones I was thinking of.
Didn’t see anything else on skim, idk why I felt so confident I had seen that panel (mark gives the kid his bag of comics, no costume and the kid tells him comics are lame) in compendium 3.
That’s issue #10, he does appear near #117, in #97 and also very briefly in #100), but it’s a different interaction, though the repeating panels joke is repeated.
Same one as the one when Mark is asking a writer about the whole “repeating panels” being cheap or something, right?
No that’s in like #13. You can tell because the artwork is kinda bad lol. Way better than anything I could do but still

I’ve seen this page before and I never realised that was mark lmao
I know everyone’s telling you it happened like 100 issues ago but I’m pretty sure you’re right.
The comics being referred to in this scene are from the comic store and mark is temporarily back on earth before leaving.
Like there was definitely a call back to that repeating panels joke

I could’ve sworn I saw something like this in compendium 3. Maybe it was something about 15 different covers for a particular issue or something?
Maybe I’m just misremembering, but I feel so sure there was something about this late lol.
I’ll peek through compendium 3 again when I get a chance and see if I can figure out what’s got me confused.
How’d it go?
