Original Commentary

Originally, there was a story arc involving Robert just sitting there, but I decided it'd be better as a one-shot comic. And the lady mentioned is Jane, who showed up a little while ago - Terrence

Modern Commentary
I think that the point of this was to re-introduce a plot point that hadn't been mentioned in a month or two. Nothing wrong with reiteration. Repetition shows what's important.

I dont like repeating myself, but sometimes we needed to be a bit better about reinforcing plot points. - Terrence
