When you say first half, do you mean A) "The Apotheosis of MN Part 1/2", or B) the first half of the overall story?
Because I never intended A) to be comedic, other than maybe some very dark and gallows humor at times with some of the insane stuff the Four 'Heroes'/Sadists say.
But if you mean B), then yes the comedy of the SoL sections is intentional. As for why.. my intention was to have a carefree 'summer' section for C to look back on in the later sections, and for the reader to be alongside them for that part. (although I realize from your earlier commment that part might not have come across as intended ..)
