Original Commentary
So, why is Kimberly so nonchalant? This and the last comic sum it up: she's got a job to do. She's not convinced that there's an actual problem. She doesn't think that she could help if there was one.

Now, I wrote this comic about three or four weeks ago. Today the Caylee Anthony case is in the news. A three-year old girl is missing and her mother failed to report it to the police for about a month. This comic was written about a month ago and any parallels are entirely unintentional - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Why don't they go to the police? Because the police will probably be unhelpful, and also because we want to keep the action centered on Brisbane and Kimberly. We don't want to spend time watching cops do cop things. - Terrence

Original Commentary
Kimberly has no idea that her parents are back in a strange, complicated relationship. Brisbane, however, has picked up on the many hints. So, does Kimberly expect him to find anything, or is she trying to keep Brisbane busy? Right now, she has no information and needs all the help she can get. That and I need to make it clear that Brisbane and Kimberly are doing things. This is going to be a fairly busy arc for them and it won't do to have them sit around for too long - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Man, this comic does a lot. Touches on the fact that that Brisbane knows that Kimberly's parents are back together but she doesn't. Kimberly has a plan about this and it involves taking power. Brisbane is hesitant but goes along with it. - Terrence
