Toivo is looking very handsome in today’s page ☺️
I like the little details in the atrium like the midterms and semester announcements
Jessica is my favorite too. Understated character right there.
Meant to type underated, but that too, actually.
I’m glad Rosemary has the sense to be unimpressed by Robert’s attempted charm!
Copy edit remark incoming, re: Jessica’s remark.
In the vast majority of instances, people “deign to” do things, they don’t just “deign.” So Jessica is much more likely to say “How lovely of you to deign to grace me with your presence,” which is just too many words (and awkward with the double “to”). A better alternative would be “How lovely of you to grace me with your presence.” Roughly equivalent sentiment, fewer words.
I love the comic, and I also love not having my internal copy-editor being triggered. 🙂
It’s maybe archaic but not incorrect to use deign as I have done here. She’s making fun of him, and by saying ‘grace’ it doesn’t get the tone I’m looking for.
I’d think it was a subtle bit of sarcasm on her part, I tend to use a more formal tone when insulting someone 😉
Robert owes a lot of people money
I’m suprised he went all in with the hand kiss and didn’t just tip his hat and remark “M’lady”.
Some repulsion; less germs. Real commitment there.
No COVID in this world though.
