Epithets

That sounds great in theory, but that's not how employer/employee relationships actually work. If it's two equals, then it's a business partnership. An employer/employee relationship has a superior (the employer) and a subordinate (the employee). When an employee tries to overstep their position, that is called insubordination, and just about every employer will fire an employee if it goes on long enough. A good employer has an open door and takes suggestion and criticism well from their subordinates (as long as it's presented with respect to the employer's position), but at the end of the day, the employer is still the boss, and the employee still has to do what they're told.

But Belgium, that is Pommes Frite & Tintin level of hiding … I hope Emmett can make everyone play nice now.

Oh, that is good to know. I thought that it would be the site owner adding the anti-adblock. It makes sense now.

“So long, and thanks for all the frites!”

There's this funny feeling among some employers that they can make the rules and employees don't have an option, as if we're in some sort of feudal or caste system. We aren't. An employee-employer relationship is theoretically of two equals entering into a contractual relationship.

Jeph has such fun musical tastes. He's the reason I got into Animals As Leaders.

I love how Emmett never said they wouldn't continue to hang out with the bad influence, just that their mom would be cheesed.

Douglas E. Smith

Hey, looks like one of your advertisers is injecting javascript for anti-adblock popups on the website.

Alexander Rueda

Aww poor kid... I want to hug them even more with every page. 😭

Forgettable

All the h2g2 comments were carried through a freak wormhole back through time across almost infinite reaches of space. The Vl'hurgs are laughing at them as we speak.

The problem is a generation of children who were allowed to tell their parents what to do, and they've become adults who think they can tell their employers what to do. So no, I'm not part of the problem. I didn't let my children run the house, and I don't let my employees dictate company policies and procedures.

Love that Faye doesn't hide her fuck-ups. She owns her past, and is rightfully proud of how she's grown since then. ❤️

Thats just jujuflop!

Gemma Hentsch

Oh man, Belgium! Belgium, man. Belgium

Jeffrey Anderson

You really know where your towel is.

Chris Crowther

Poor Emmett, they deserve all the hugs! Especially from Sam.

wargrunt42

No, he just ''faked'' his own ''Belgium''...

Is Belgium code that the mom killed the dad?

I loved watching Jeph draw this here on Patreon. So much fun to see it all come together layer by layer. (and he played some decent music too).

SilverbackRon

Ny Emmett lore dropped! (I'm doing the Veronica-face)

Bagge

Dutch.

Timothy Roller

Did Emmett’s chaos just short-circuit a self-deprecation for Faye??

Daniel S

Excellent lore reveal for Emmett

Jon K

The fuckin sealions.

Absynthe

I speed-watched this being drawn here on Patreon...fabulous to see the final published product!

Leitchy

And what problem is that?

Vivek Patankar

Language! No need to say the B-word.

TV4Fun

I really like Faye’s smile here. It’s such a human experience… fondly remembering something that used to hurt a lot, and only hurts a little now

They’re there, they’re just all in the SEP field

Disappointing lack of H2G2 references in the comments.

Chris Crowther

you're part of the problem

If I'm interviewing someone for the position of secretary, and they insist on being called "administrative assistant", they've already failed the interview. You don't get to choose your title. Your employer chooses your title.

My mother worked as a secretary and refused to be called an administrative assistant
