Original Commentary

There was a bit of confusion with this one between Terrence and myself... see, when Terrence writes comics while exhausted, sometimes he forgets little things like explaining who which character is talking to (when there is no reference of this in the dialoged). I had some confusions over this comic with panel one, as Jake was not mentioned at all in the first panel, I was under the impression that only Brisbane and Robert were in the panel and Robert was talking to Brisbane (which, well, makes no sense). I talked with Terrence about this right after I first read the comic, so that was no problem.

There was a slight issue I didn't really foresee until Terrence saw the finished product, with the third and fourth panel... I knew Jane would be in panel 3, since she had a line, and if shes in the panel, Roberts going to be looking at her. But the problem was that Robert was originally apologizing to Jake. Terrence suggested the change to Jane which made it more or less make sense. The other problem was the fourth panel... I still don't know if Terrence meant Jane's line to be suggestive when he wrote it, but ah well. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
It's meant to be heavily implied that Jake's services are a lot less in-demand than he says. Nowadays, you've got a whole lot more in the way of remote tools. I work from home. I could theoretically set up in a computer store's cafe and work from there. Back in 2007, Jake would pretty much have to show up in person wherever he works. - Terrence
