All those bricks were a real pain in the ass. The only option would have been to blur the background and just use the brick color instead. But that's not really a good idea when the characters are physically interacting with their surroundings. Gotta love Adam's initial reaction and description of the White Mountains.
It's okay. This comic was originally set up to be printed out in issues, just like any comic series. So there are some spots along the way that will seem like a conclusion. Like that page you commented on, that was supposed to be the end of Chucky Issue #4, this page being the start of Issue #5. I've since given that up and am now doing this as a continuous webcomic.
