Original Commentary

First two drafts of this comic went in a very different direction, and that's all I should say about that. Kimberly's family is something that Isabel and I need to get ironed out. And yes, Kimberly sees having her boyfriend work for her mother as totally acceptable - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Yeah, Kimberly doesn't look great here. This is entirely not how she wanted the conversation to go.
These kind of emotional discussions aren't her strong point. Her usual sales tactics involve fast-talking, knowing the value of things, and sheer force of personality.
She's at a disadvantage. She put herself at a disadvantage, doing this. But she had to. This is an emotional situation. She can't just make a deal and that's the end of things. - Terrence
