That first panel, depicting the versions of Tempore splitting off as he makes a decision, was an image I'd originally wanted for the beginning of the comic.  However, it works here, I think.  I don't know why I didn't include his dialogue I had initially, about how he despises the other versions of himself for not attending to the matter.
 
I got very used to drawing Tempore's hand here.  Why does he have two thumbs?  Because I thought it looked nicely alien.  It compliments his odd design, which is humanish, but not human.  After all, he has a mouth that looks like a perpetual scowl and eyes that look perpetually squeezed shut.  Why shouldn't he have two thumbs?  Besides, it gives a symmetrical look to his hands, furthering the "order" to his being.  Yeah, that's it.
