Original Commentary

I had originally miscoloured Lola's tail in the third panel, thinking that it belonged to the grey cat. The guys from the lounge don't have tails. Isabel says they lost them in the war. I'm glad that we're showing Lola as an active, attractive older person, even though she's old enough to be the mother of most of the main cast. Because life doesn't end at 25. And yes, the lounge guys are just as bad with everyone else's names as we are with theirs - Terrence

Modern Commentary
They do know her name is Kimberly, right? She's lived there for years. Have they called her Kimberly before? I don't think they have.

It's odd, since we have folks address each other by name frequently. Readers have called us out on it several times.

We do that because there have been a lot of time I'm reading a comic and I'm trying to see who that dude in the second panel is, but nobody's called him by name in six months...

The teacher never showed up in the comic. - Terrence
