Original Commentary

It had been my intention to make some new items for Jane's (and Jake's... although I doubt he's paying rent) living room from the start of it's showing (has Jane's place been shown before? Bah, if so she redecorated... nothing brings up a gal's spirits more than redecorating... or so I've heard- our own place is a designer's nightmare, so what would I know?), but we've both had sore throats for the last three days... we're getting better, but I just ended up not having much energy for the past few days, so in the end, the last two comics ended up having very plain backgrounds. Last night I was up till six am drawing today's comics- and even then I barely got them up at time...but at least I used the extra time I had today to make new backgrounds for this comic. The cabinet is new- the only thing borrowed are it's contents (the photo is one of Robert, Jane and Jake when they were kids... I have a feeling that photo has been up for years, even before Jane and Robert got together). The flowers are from Twix's flower shop (the ultimate recycling back ground file), the books on the bottom shelf are from Ya Ta comics and the collector's plate is new. There is also a brand new drawer to go with the cabinet, but it doesn't get much showing. The calendar is somewhat new... the image in it came from a really old ND comic. I'm glad I finally got to make them... just in time for them not to show up again for a bit. >< -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Jake and Jane are pretty much always like this. That's the thing about Jake is that he'd rather be right than be happy. He's got one point here and he's never going to give up on it.

Sandra is, unfortunately, too nice to yell back at him - Terrence
