[I]These were wordless stories -- not sure why, as I knew how to write by then, it's not like I couldn't have put words into these comics if I wanted to. So I suspect that they would've been hard for anyone else to read -- I knew what was happening, but that doesn't mean I had yet learned to draw things so that other people could understand what was happening without any words for guidance.[/I]

No problem; people are automatically good at finding subtext.

"Wedge hates Inclined Plane. That's why he's formed an alliance with Screw, whose talents are uniquely suited to revenge."

In your current work, Space Kid and Stella are clearly getting busy behind the scenes, or want to, though your text has never said so explicitly.
