#740: The Tell-Tale Beat explain

The Tell-Tale Beat

[The three panels show portions of a single scene. Although the characters are still stick figures, the artwork style is heavily crosshatched and shaded.]

[In the first panel there is a desk with monitor on it, and a painting of a woman above that. Next to it is a bookshelf.]

Ever since I murdered Daft Punk

[There is a fireplace, with no fire. A rug lies before it. At the left end of the mantelpiece are two bottles, one tall, one round. Another photograph of a woman is in a frame at the right end. The bookshelf continues from the previous panel.]

And hid their bodies beneath the floorboards, I’ve been haunted

[The narrator is clutching his head and leaning forward. A grandfather clock is behind him, next to a doorway. Above the doorway is a pallid bust of Pallas.]

By this pounding.
