nope, though a quick search shows that the main artist did work with John K in the past

His mom thinks wifi lets the demons in? Nona is one of the rare kids who never got onto social media because they interfere with her psychic powers?

That linework is exceptionally clean.

Also Judge Parker is ticking me off. The lady who whole handedly defended the NSAs worst practices is some so committed, and pure that she had no idea she was being used and is now in a noble struggle against the evvvviiil CIA.

"what? I'm being recruited into a secret cabal of agents in which my boss is a part of? Why, I cannot conceive of such a thing, working for the CIA and having secrets. I better be stupidly belligerent, here in a foreign land, with 3 agents of this secret cabal within feet of me. I'm so patriotic and naive that I am sure my words will turn him around!"

To give credit to Working Daze, the boss lady is supposed to be ignorant of the ways of the nerd and she's supposed to get those details wrong, which is, I suppose, the joke.

Now, to take all of that credit back, gently caress you Working Daze. I didn't spend much effort on that one but neither did you, Working Daze.

Man, the more I find out about Les, the more sympathy I have for him.
I dread the day the shoe drops. Evans is setting up SOMETHING because you know they think of Les as the "bad guy".

It's pre-Christian iirc. So that would predate the Rome he was from by some centuries.

Well you have a much closer relationship after 20 years already than she does with a guy she's seen over summer for the last couple years, one of which he was focused on Hillary and they had nothing. And also they kind of addressed that it's not the same online as in person, at least that was a concern of Nona's.

You may be right and I'm just old and not as into using social media in that way as someone her age who has grown up with it, but I think it's a valid argument that this will change things between them significantly since, particularly at that age, there's a good chance they will never see each other in person again. To me that's a big deal. I mean I have a good number of friends on fb that I haven't seen in person or really spoken to in months or years, and quite likely never will again. We used to be good friends, and if we met up we would probably would be again, and we may even chat online sometimes, but it's not the same right now. We all are busy dealing with the life we have in front of us every day.

Now I don't know what Ces is doing with JP and I'm not enjoying that, but I think he has a point with SF.
