    Only a True Detective can solve this case.

    SPOILER ALERT….

    Don’t read the rest of this if you still want to figure it out…

     

    I’d never heard of it, but I Googled “True Detective,” the source of the quote Alexi linked to, and found out it’s a TV series….

     

    The fellow in this strip is a character in “True Detective” who said “time is a flat circle”,

    meaning everything happens repeatedly or simultaneously, or something…

     

    I can supply the other piece of the puzzle:

    Circle-K is a chain of convenience marts, similar to 7-11, if you’re familiar with those.

     

    Ha ha?

    Maybe if I watch True Detective and read this at the same time I would understand it.

    I would have thought that time is wibbley-wobbely.

    Was the second store a Circle-K? I suspect hacker or insider involvement.

    Another consideration. Did the stores straddle a border of two time zones?
