If anyone could translate, that'd be fantastic!

I gave the translation of the comic side a hack-

Ikke skrem gutten mor, Jens! hern har ikke sagt et ord pa flere dager.
Er det pette du sa ?
Er det det.

Google translate says:

Do not scare the cat more, Jens! She has not said a word on several days.

Is it Pette you said?

Is that it?

doing a google image search on the comic picture brought up a website:

http://theartoffindingthesilverlining.myfreesites.net/

that appears to be started in 2014, with images of the comic page posted in January 2015, referencing it as a puzzle that came in the mail.

But the blog and the contact information seem to just be "placeholders" and fillers.

You mean to say it's all fake? I was just about to send away for that Disintegrator Ray Sad

I can see the bar code on the envelope, as if it did go thru a postal service, but the postage stamp does not appear to be canceled. Is that common with mail from Canada?

Going to the contact page on that blog, it gives an address in Kansas, but the telephone number is an exchange in California, and the fax number points to North Carolina -- a search tells me this appears to be the default placeholder info for that free website host's templates.

From that reddit post mentioned above, it looks like you might be waiting a while for a follow up package. That post was made over a month ago, without any updates.

So I found some person's blog who actually received a follow up package!

Here's the original post after getting Package 1:

Looking further down on the blog, looks like this may be a new variant of the (don't scroll over unless you want it ruined for you, OP)

I completely forgot I got this for myself.

I am not a smart man.

Nice to know I got this excited over something without remembering why I got it in the first place, at least! (Mine came today)
