Original Commentary

That's the thing is that Kimberly and Emily know more embarassing secrets about each other than anyone else. And while Robert and Jane are nice enough people, Jake is abrasive and loud. The guys from the lounge are, well, you know them. And there are a few other people that Brisbane invited. They just haven't shown up yet (and probably won't) - Terrence

Modern Commentary
That exchange in the first panel, the "Didn't know I was lost" - I'm sure I lifted it from somewhere. Muppets? Goon Show? Firesign Theatre? I have no idea what it's from now and I can't track it down.

I'm wondering about the eight people Emily invited. On one hand, we weren't going to spend too much time on background folks who we'll never see again. But in-comic, I'm assuming that half of them left because the picnic was out of food and the other half left because there was some crazy lady going around hiding things in the trees.

But yeah, look at David. Just being dragged around, not saying or doing anything. Bad omen for a new character. I had wanted to do more with him but no work means no work. - Terrence
