    Side note: why is there this obnoxious feature in some comics, even new ones, that they embolden or italicise random words? It’s annoying to read.

      I would guess that it’s all about emphasis.

      Kinda like:

      I never said we should kill him

      I never said we should kill him

      I never said we should kill him

      Etc etc. Each emphasized word changes how that entire sentence is read, regardless of which one is emphasized.
