What is this cartoon about? Am I the only one who doesn't know?
Could it be that they noticed an boarding hook on the deceased? Because it's not clear from the text. But how does that relate to the green color?
The Registrar was a conspirator, killed by a maniac, the green color itself (unlikely), or an accompanying poisoning/illness/nausea, etc. - is a clue.
The Mold theory seems plausible, so I will continue to build theories based on the assumption that he is possessed.
