Original Commentary

What this comic says isn't as important as what it hints at: Ongoing communication between Kimberly's parents and Kimberly's mother keeping tabs on her. This contradicts Kimberly's assumptions about her mother and in any other circumstances, she'd ask about this - Terrence

Modern Commentary
We always wanted to keep things open between Mr. and Ms. Taylor. They can't get along with each other, but that's not going to stop them. - Terrence
