Like, their features are pretty similar!!!
Besides there's a graffiti part on Mr. Small's side of the van that could be pretty funny foreshadowing, with Mr. Small being mistaken for a Bigfoot once and Shady Man having a near identical body type toHEY WAIT A MINUTE THEIR NAMES' ACRONYMS ARE THE REVERSE OF ONE ANOTHER.
Mr. Small: MS
Shady Man: SM
OHMYGOD.
Besides, it'd make sense as to how Shady Man knew Rob was going to the Void during The Inquisition, because who else was there when it was revealed that the Superintendent was the kid herself?
...
Bingo.
Maybe Shady Man/Mr. Small used the remote to time travel to different parts of his old life to fix some things, or help people too. Like in the show we can feel some familiarity between Darwin and Mr. Small, and Shady Man is the reason why Darwin even got to the Watterson household to begin with. What's the reason? I don't know, but it scares me this possibility, like Shady Man's body is fucked like hellll so what on Earth could've happened to Mr. Small for that to happen? What could happen, actually?
Oh also their vans' license plates are the same, and I'm pretty sure the vehicles are of the same make too lol-
