ABOUT THIS COMIC ================ "The Curtain Comes Back" is a fourth-wall-breaking transition between the archive prologue and the continuing Ace and Jack adventures in the garage. Ace and Jack pull aside a theatrical curtain and reveal that the Files and Gopherspace landscapes were sets. They identify themselves as actors working for DJRC, the Webmaster at NITETIME.NET, thank the audience in advance for the site's future wild success, and invite readers into the garage where the action will begin. The reveal is playful, not a rejection of the earlier stories. Props and scenery from those issues remain backstage, suggesting that fiction, archive, performance, and website may continue to overlap. DJRC is credited within the scene through a director's chair and equipment slate; no physical appearance is invented. The closing invitation favors old-school exploration: keep bookmarks, make notes, follow paths, and enjoy discovering the site as a place.
