Original Commentary
I always thought Kimberly was a bit mean to poor Robert in this comic, then I realized something bout Kimberly: she can smell fear. It was probably how she was able to con Brisbane back in the days of the Minerva Theatre... it's one of the traits she got from her mom.

Modern Commentary
Brisbane is, justifiably, proud of getting a cheap desk. He's looking for an excuse to tell Robert about it. Robert is not impressed by flat-pack furniture.
But the power outlet thing, I've done that. At least once, I ended up just running a power strip across the whole room. Fortunately, it's just a desk. Not like they got a whole roomful of furniture set up and put all their stuff on it.
Some of the more complicated computer desks, with trays and drawers and such, aren't designed to be lifted or moved - there's nothing liftable that's meant to support the weight of the thing. Fortunately, this one is a pretty simple model and you can just pick it up.
But if You Say it First were running three days a week instead of six, this one definitely would've been cut. - Terrence
