Aramoro posted:Dahl was an intelligence officer for the UK, but then it's more likely Fleming based most of the character on his brother, Peter Fleming. Fleming's main inspiration was probably Duško Popov who was known for both being a good spy and being a womanizer.

While this is an excellent comic, it really doesn't work out of context.

I like this one because it plays like the climax of a really mundane, petty version of Manchurian Candidate.

Is it the way that Karen seems resigned to a pattern of behaviour she has no ability to control? She's not enjoying herself. That's what I like about it.

I only got my job as entry level data entry because I had a referral. My then boss flat out said she wouldn't hire me despite having a bachelor's degree because I didn't have any office work on my resume.
