This short bit isn't officially part of the timeline, but it does set the mood and themes off right.
Plus it contradicts nothing, and why not be as complete as possible?

Last time I ran through the series, someone called this out as cartoonish looking.

This storytime might as well be called the evolution of Jacen Burrow's art.

It's kinda insane that, despite the roughness of the presentation, this barely full issue length story is still way better than Neonomicon.

While Neonomicon and Courtyard have the same level of superficiality and reference dropping, Courtyard is better in that it's more focused.

It's his inking/finishing that seems most improved as of Providence. His lines just look kind of airy and flimsy in his early stuff.

The final panel reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse V, where the main character meets the Trahlfamadorians who view people not as just one body, but as creatures with very long legs at front and very short legs at back, because they can view every instance of that individual in every span of existence simultaneously because they exist outside the linearity of time-space.

Wow, great way to keep the black man in the dark. What's this lore about?

Basically character stuff.
And a fuckton of foreshadowing.

Then why would they pen it in the white devil's script? Are they racists?

In The Alchemist by Paulo Cuelho, the prologue tells the story of how Narcissus died, and the water nymphs find the pool of water he witnessed his reflection in weeping. When they ask for the reason the pool is crying, it replies simply, "Now I can no longer see my beautiful reflection in the pools of his eyes!"
