Considering the speculation in comments, this page probably wasn’t necessary. Alas, they are drawn well ahead of schedule.

7.34 Transcript
[Kiro : On my trip here, there was only about ten crew. They could’ve easily fit in one of the boats.]
A: But then where did they go? Obviously not in the direction of camp.
Kiro: Uh
Kiro: I don’t have an answer to that question.
Kiro: But on that note, we should find out what happened to them as well.
A: You win, Kiro. I kind of need something to do for a change.
Kiro: Wow, you’re agreeing with me?
Perhaps crew Is in some bear’s stomach.
Probably not anymore. Check the woods?
@sereneseal: Don’t fret! We;re just analyzing the comic with the attention it deserves–we’re invested in it. ^^
Oh, no! If the remaining crew have gone to the camp, that blows all of Kiro’s plans! O.O
@Sereneseal, @Delta-v: Also keep in mind that when we follow an interesting webcomic we spend far more time thinking things through at each page then when we read it through with pages waiting to be flipped. A page may not be as needed for the pondering webcomic follower as it is when the comic eventually finds it way into hardcopy form, when pages are flipped as soon as the eyes reach the end of the page.
For this page specifically, I think it was mostly needed anyway. Even if we could’ve filled in the gaps it is much better (to me at least) to see how the conversation between the characters played out in its entirety. We’re not invested just in the overall story, but also in the development of the characters and their relations to each other!
If you publish the comic as books without the comments, pages like this make sense anyway, even if we are good in guessing down here. Having said this, the first volume arrived and I really like it in bookform as well. (Even though I had to press it for a day because I didn’t look into my postbox for a few days and the moisture made the pages bend upwards. that was nothing that a thick book couldn’t fix, though.)
