Original Commentary
In every Phonix Wright game, there's a stepladder. When you examine it, you get dialogue very much like:
Phoenix: It's a ladder.
Maya: No, actually it's a step-ladder.
Phoenix: I wonder what the difference between a ladder and a step-ladder is, anyways.

I meant to include something very much like that in the second panel, but it got cut for space and because it'd seem too bizarre if you hadn't played the games. I don't want people to think "I guess it's supposed to be funny, but I don't get it" - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Lola is sweet and kind and understanding. And really, really bad about getting building maintenance done.

Our apartment complex at the time, was pretty good about maintenance when we reported things. Just a lot less personable. - Terrence
