While traveling over the vast waste known only as Pennsylvania The Shadow will no longer be able to steal internet from the Japanese couple next door, or that weird building next to the laundromat that seems to be a business office of some kind, though there's no sign out front.

Computers, and even calculators, being altogether foreign, and considered somewhat akin to witch craft in the bleak and blasted landscape along rural I-70, The Shadow has decided to keep his old-school iBook hidden during the journey, lest he find himself tied to a stake. Then, once he finds himself at home amid the dusty boxes and cuddly Norway rats of the exclusive Self Storage community of Columbus, he will have to feel out the situation before he figures out exactly whose internet access it’s best to latch onto.

The exclusive Self Storage community of Columbus, Ohio. Each unit is equipped with spiders, Victor™ brand rat traps, and tough cinder block-construction. Plus, a 68 year-old Wackenhut security guard drives by once a night.

So, if you don’t hear from The Shadow or his Shadowy wife in the coming days, don’t be alarmed. Just remember, he’s safe and sound, sleeping in the train yard of some backwater, or sharpening his hobo knife in the back of some rusty and much-graffitied box car.

“Peace be unto you, or the Atheistic version of that,” says The Shadow, as he prepares to follow the ancient and no longer meaningful proverb, Go west, young man.
