Original Commentary
This story arc was created a bit oddly; basically I came up with the idea and ending while Terrence actually wrote each comic. It was the first time we did this- but it'll most likely not be the last. Did Kimberly sell Christmas Trees? No, but she puts on a good front.

Modern Commentary
That is indeed not the first time that Isabel and I have co-written a storyline. Sometimes I just transcribe what Isabel says. Sometimes Isabel gives me a general outline and I write the exact dialogue. Sometimes Isabel gives me a general outline and I write something peripherally related.

Kimberly is correct here. Dude tried to rip her off and got out-maneuvered.
I wonder if her plan was to see if they could get a cheap tree (and just enjoy going out and wandering around in the holiday cheer if they couldn't), or did she plan on finding a salesman who'd try to rip her off?
Note the seamless transition from half-price rope to free rope. Do not try to scam Kimberly. It will not go well for you.- Terrence
