I apologize for the lack of updates. I intended to return to Cosmic Dash proper but was sick for about a week. Thankfully, Kevin can bail me out again. This week’s comic is illustrated by Kevin McKracken. Kevin is also one of the PixelPunx, a group that streams video games.
As for where this is in the timeline, I suppose it is between issues 4.1 and 4.2.

Dash: Who is this?
Vid: ____!
A strangely familiar voice fires off a string of incredibly foul (and very unprovoked) profanities directed at [Dash].
[Dash] pauses momentarily, stunned by the response. Just as he attempts to explain his situation, a strange crunching sound — like something being eaten — comes from the other end, followed by static.
