Oh dear…I don’t suppose Mike has somehow “cheated” Death at some stage? Either way she looks pissed as all hell about it. What do you do when Death herself (in the form of a girl named ‘Lemon’) is pissed at you?
The outlook for Mike is surely….Grim? …. *crickets* …yea I know…
When life gives you Lemon, you cannot escape the Lemonade. Unless you beat it at a board game. Or Twister.
Now this was something I didn’t even imagine. But it figures that Gary would know Death. Is she…floating? Her design looks somehow familiar. Anime reference, perhaps?
Mike didn’t properly pursue Karen, so now he will reap what he has sown.
It’s hard to tell if she’s angry or impressed. Given that “angry” would probably end the comic, I’m going to go with “impressed” ^^
@Farren: “When life gives you Lemon…” 😀 Now why didn’t realise that one?! Classic! I just wanted to give her a silly name, and “Lemon” was the first thing that popped up 🙂
Hope you don’t mind, but I pinched that line to promote this week’s Back Office update on my social media feeds 🙂
@Delta: Maybe she’s impressively shocked with how angry she is with him 😀 Not to worry, he’s survived ‘worse’….or at very least he’s survived ‘similar’…
I actually already have a sort of “End Clause” planned for when I do eventually wrap up Back Office, which will be a little better than Mike’s death during a botched date 🙂 (At least I hope so!…no pressure….) We’re not there yet! Still plenty of story left in Back Office. (Trying not to realise that I said that right after introducing this comic’s ‘Poochie’/Great Gazoo.)
Would this be a bad time to point out what “lemon” means in terms of fanfiction? >:-)
@Kessy: Ah, now that’s blast from the past. I had forgotten about “lemons” 😀 Reminds me of the days of web archives filled with ASCII text files 🙂
I wonder how Emily is going to react to the, ehm, less than normal company. Some contact with the extraordinary comes with the territory of dating Mike. We know that Karen can handle this…
