What is this shoelace for?

Medieval Spud

Here is a short 12-panel mini-comic— fragment really— from one of the back histories of my upcoming graphic novel. It was made in my watercolour Moleskine sketchbook.

I had posted each panel day by day on my recent doodle blog giving readers the chance to figure out what is going on (there is no dialogue).

All the panels have been posted (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12), but instead of making you go through each post (cumbersome) I've displayed them here for your convenience.

If you think you've figured out what's going on, let me know by leaving a comment on the 12th panel.

The end...?

If you have a theory of wha's going on,
let me know by leaving a comment on the 12th panel.
