page 1241 – some lessons need to be taught many times
We know Layla means business because now she’s in her business suit. Layla business suit includes very tiny shorts. What? If I was rich and important and had business meetings to go to, I’d TOTALLY wear tiny shorts. It’s a total power move.
No, but seriously, she’s had this conversation with them more than once. Or, at least, she’d had this conversation with Avi.
Anyway, I ACTUALLY GOT A PAGE DONE ON TIME FOR ONCE! It sure is a lot easier to avoid falling behind when the whole comic is mostly just one single piece of character art. Honestly, though, it is kind of miraculous this ISN’T late, because I’ve been trying to get a head start on some Halloween stuff for Patreon, and HOLY CRAP that threw off all my work flow last week. Oh, also, speaking of Patreon, I keep forgetting to remind people that there’s more Far Out There stuff going up there too! The next page in the latest, patron-written MadLib comic should be posted later this week, so be sure to keep checking for that!
EDIT: New TWC Incentive is up!
@ Hover Text: …Ichabod’s Girlfriend wears two Turtlenecks simultaneously, as well as a tiara, doesn’t she?
@ Author Text: Blitz, you’re male. Wearing anything but suit-pants during a business meeting and other people can see your legs when you’re male is a fopar. Females are freer in this, but are expected to wear standard suits when their business is “important” enough (aka BIG business).
Also, Layla’s still got the leggings/stockings/I’m-honestly-not-sure-what on under the pants, so there’s that too.
Yes, for it to be a “power move” for a female, possibly involving “distracted by the sexy” it would work better if her legs were bare below the tiny shorts, as opposed to whatever those dark leg coverings are.
@Darius Drake: I think the term you’re looking for is “faux pas”, not “fopar”, though the pronunciation is similar.
I even googled it to ensure that I got it right! Redoing the search, Urban Dictionary must have messed up my use of Google as a Spell Checker!
Oh, and, whether the stockings are more sexy than bare legs depends on the temperature, culture, individual, and more. Layla’s dressed up warm, but is also in a climate controlled area.
Oh, I thought you just meant that short pants indicated a “Friend of Parks and Recreation” …at least, that’s what Google told ME just now 🙂
Ah, man. Now I just keep thinking of Lt Dangle showing up to a big meeting with a formal suit up top and still wearing his hot pants.
Man, that just might be the first Reno 911 reference in the entire history of Far Out There!
