I think it's great that Mark has agreed to work up chapter 2!

am I right in thinking that Wyatt has decided to take his scrapbook,
which I am picturing as looking like a carpet sample book, from
devilman Brown over to the enigmatic BV and let the latter release
evidence of his forgeries upon the art world - and the tremendous
catharsis he gets from acting upon that decision plus some booze and
his generally overamped state result in his rambling like the madman
he is for a whole chapter?

 so like, he's taken this decision and it's hard to imagine any good
coming out of it but he's in such a state...

there's nothing like this in the original Faust story - Faust saying
to some 3rd party "I'm not Mephistopheles's dog anymore!", is there?
