Maybe in the early days. Possibly the Granny in the Prologue knew about tallow candles being a possible source of food. Like maybe they ran out of food the first winter. Along with hunting (she had a rifle) and gathering what you can all autumn.

I've given myself permission to skip reading the old comments (on the grounds that there were way too many of them) and just read the comic. This may greatly increase the chances that I'll do significant amounts of the re-read.

If somebody is reading some or all of the comments, though: if there's something worth pointing me to, point me at it and I'll go look.

Though some of the comments are very good, you are very correct.  That is what has bogged me down also...

I've found that I'm actually quite bad at slow re-reads (I'm... a fast reader. I like to churn through things) but I recently re-read the first adventure of SSSS (only occasionally looking at the comments) and was hit by just. wow. It's a good story, huh.
I write poetry sometimes.

Reading the comments (and participating) used to take hours back when it was updating. I've gotten out of the habit of spending chunks of my time there, and even when I'm looking for something specific, I find I no longer have that time.

Wave, ditto! I thought when we were about to start the reread that it will be great to read the comments especially from before my time (which is all of Adv 1) but sadly it feels more tedious than joyful now 😢
