Original Commentary

No real stories about writing this - I wrote the entire week in one sitting. The nice thing about being back in a 5 day/week schedule is I was able to fit everything in. If the comic ran three a week, I'd would've cut some things - I like this sequence but I don't think it would carry for two weeks. Now, the details of ownership are written out. I spent a lot of time working out the numbers. I'm not sure if the exact numbers will make an appearance. I don't want the details to bore people.

I'm reminded of the manga Death Note, which I read a few weeks back. The first four or so volumes were amazing edge-of-your-seat supernatural detective cat-and-mouse drama. Then this corporation gets a hold of the Death Note and starts into this discussion of who they should kill to advance corporate interests. It was page after page of text that I just couldn't bring myself to read. I gave up on the series after skipping about forty pages in a row. So I don't want to go too much into details - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Non-anthropomorphic emus. The characters eat regular beef and chicken and such. Emu meat isn't a common thing in this comic. It's a an exotic meat, hence the kind of high-risk, high-reward investment opportunity that Mr. Taylor is all about - Terrence
