colored illustration of the mystery shack and its forested landscape during the winter of 1982. thick piles of snow—colored with various off-whites, purples and yellows—blanket the roof and deck below. a strong, frigid gust of air sweeps across the forefront of the image while stanley anxiously approaches from the bottom left corner. shown only from the back, he is wearing worn-down clothes (a beanie, sweats, and a stained red jacket) and carrying a duffle bag of belongings on his shoulder.
though ford is not drawn here (the twins’ reunion soon to come), his growing paranoia is evidenced by the property’s barbed wire fence and boarded up windows and doors.
greyscale sketch of an older stanford (left) and stanley pines (right) from gravity falls. the two are drawn from the chest up and glancing at each other with obvious contempt. the drawing is set shortly after stanford’s return from the portal, for he is seen scribbling grievances (towards stanley) in his journal.
a single panel comic strip (colored with a yellow wash) of stanford and fiddleford from the 1980s. Stanford (right) having cut ties with Fiddleford (left) given their recent conflict, is angrily stomping towards the shack with a heap of journals collected under his arm. he points an accusatory finger in the other man’s direction with the words, “i thought i told you to leave me alone, fiddleford”.
fiddleford looks uneasy as he grips his head in confusion. he reaches towards his memory gun with a bandaged hand and says, “ford.. just hear me out. please.”
black and white paper sketch of stanford pines from gravity falls looking to the left, holding journal 3 close to him. a silent speech bubble hovers nearby.
