Title: The Jade Owl Affair: Ep. 1

The author writes:

This is the first in what I hope to make a series of linked gags, "The Jade Owl Affair". Probably no more than six or seven strips to make a story. Here we have "Protagonist" and "The Spark". The next strips will deal with other classic adventure story elements, right up to "Denouement".
