Tuesday, January 4th 2005 - [185]Kimberly's new old hat (8 of 12)
Original Commentary
Kimberly's father used to be a financial backer for up and coming businesses. Most of them went belly up before they went anywhere and he usually just got some of the useless products as a consolation prize for not actually getting any of his money back. Kimberly got her business sense from her mother.-Isabel
Modern Commentary
So, it has been established that Kimberly's father is a serial entrepreneur. He has invested in a variety of companies, mostly unsuccessful. (The successful ones, he's taken the money and reinvested it in other unsuccessful companies...)
It has also been established that Kimberly has a large backstock of unusual merchandise. Roll twice on the Random Stuff table and choose whatever's funniest.
So this comic is where Isabel tied those two facts together. It feels so natural. I'm a little embarrassed that I hadn't even considered it until she wrote this, but I'm glad I get to work with someone who understands me and my characters well enough to do this and bridge the gaps that I unknowingly left. - Terrence
