The waitress in this scene is the only character to appear in both this book and in The Black Chamber. She was also the bank president's secretary. There's also a hidden reference to The Black Chamber that appeared earlier in the book. Reading each book individually you wouldn't think there's any sort of bigger story going on, and reading the two together you still wouldn't see it yet, but I'm definitely building to something a lot bigger with the whole meta-story.
I was inspired to do the double-page spreads like this by Jim Steranko's adaptation of 'Outland'. I'd offer you a link to it but it would become painfully clear just how much better of an artist Steranko is than I am. Anyway, I like the device because you can set up the scenery with one panel and then you can devote the next eight or so to working with the characters. You'll see me doing this a lot more effectively as the book goes on, especially in the second-to-last scene.
