We join everybody at Optimism. We’re comfortably sure they’re just messing with Ms. Shui about sleeping in the office.
Overzealous security appeals to my sense of humor. I think I was inspired by the “recycled” office workers from the Laundry Files for the ones at the DMN. Don’t go into the office after hours without your pass.
We haven’t seen Nikki for a while, which is a shame since I find her progress in the strip entertaining. Fortunately, it looks like Ms. Shui has made sure that Paul will remain her guardian for the foreseeable future.

It seemed like such a good idea. Assume Dielle needs some help on a busy day, dump the teenager on her, and enjoy a quiet day. The only flaw in Nancy’s plan was that Dielle thought of it first. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
