Original Commentary

I'm sure Sofia has softened up since the days when Brisbane and her were kids... it would have cost him one room cleaning every other day and a bag of candy (on top of the money) back in the day. I'm sure Sofia appreciates the extra funds, considering her crappy job.

So... who else is on Kimberly's list? Not too many other people... her mother (although she does plan on eventually inviting her mother... eventually), the Lounge Guys (although I'm sure Brisbane told them before they made it on her list and is just keeping that little fact from Kimberly) and of course, Emily. Kimberly does however maintain the right to add more people to that list as she sees fit. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Bubble placement has always been a challenge for us. Sometimes we'd have to break up dialogue between multiple bubbles, like you see in the second panel.

Isabel preferred straight lines linking the speech bubbles. I'd usually have them unlinked, with separate tails. I tried to have them untailed, like we'd see in manga but that didn't work with our style; I felt like it was never clear who was speaking when we did that - Terrence
