Original Commentary

I saw Sofia's outfit when on a weekend homecoming dress search- which was why I could not pick up said outfit. Oh well... it looks much better on her, I'm sure.

That's... kind of a big detail for her to forget, I admit... but I'm sure Sofia generally ignores Robert, if only because she knows Jane will want to be the one who waits on him and most of the time she's behind the counter cooking... so there you go. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
On one hand, we could have introduced Jake with "Hey, that's Jane's brother who might know something" rather than "Hey, that guy is creeping Emily out"

But, well, Jake. - Terrence

Original Commentary

Yes, Emily is technically still dating David. A fact she is very much still aware of. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
You have to admire her confidence - Terrence

Original Commentary

Oh Emily... your feeble attempts at being superior to Sofia are quite... pathetic, in a way... I'm sure she doesn't know very much about her past- and even when she talks about it, I'm sure Emily ignored it. Because that's just the kind of girl Emily is. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Man, Emily had so much more character than David. I'm glad David got mentioned here, but we just had nothing for him... - Terrence

Delusional

Original Commentary

Well, if there's one thing Emily has going for her is her vivid imagination. That's pretty much it though. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Emily has decided that she totally ships Sofia and Jake!

And she's still going to be the one to seduce Jake anyways- Terrence

Unexpected

Original Commentary

Yes, this is Jake's idea of great customer service... actually Terrence was the one who added in that line about the broken computer, which goes a long way in showing what kind of person and businessman he is.

For those of you who don't recall what Jake did/does for a living: he used to work with Robert for Lemon Tech., but after an incident/ altercation with Miz Taylor decided to strike out on his own and make his own computer fixing business. His work place is more-or-less a table in Nuggets Cafe

Modern Commentary
Note that Jake doesn't turn to face Emily. You'd think a potential paying customer would get his full attention but, well, Jake - Terrence

Original Commentary

Comic 1000. The big hallmark. And where was I? I was busy throwing up. I was hoping Terrence was going to write commentary, but apparently he didn't. So here we are, a full 24 hours late with commentary on a landmarks comic. Great start, right? Right...

I had drawn that last panel once and didn't really like it... I had a visual of it in my head and kept trying. This was the best I could come up with. Not bad considering I wanted to puke the whole time. Enjoy the comics. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
And Jake stops what he's doing to pay attention to Sofia. Which makes sense. He knows her, where Emily has mean girl energy - Terrence
