Poor Mark got dissed once again. Well, it was to be expected. But it’s not a problem for Mark. He was Ted Lasso long before there was Ted Lasso. So Mark just put on his happy face and rationalized away Kelly Welly’s behavior.

But how is it these investors are still running around in circles inside the center? I mean, why aren’t they on the way home, to a bar, or to their attorney? Not that they have any case against the Tech Bros, because they were also “victims” of this rumor. My money’s still on Sid Stump, who probably engineered this fiasco in order to unload his own troubled AI product.

But this time, Rivera lets us all know, in no uncertain terms, that this adventure is over. And that’s fine by me!

Art Dept. It’s not always clear who does the coloring of strips. Sometimes it’s the cartoonist but other times it’s a staff colorist at the syndicate. Now, Rivera works electronically, so there is no reason to think she wouldn’t do her own colors. I’m only bringing this up to make a small, pedantic point. When movies are made, there is a person in charge of continuity, to ensure characters and repeated locations match up throughout the movie. This week, Mark’s suit is orange, whereas when he first appeared at this event (late May, go look it up), his jacket was olive. Yesterday, his slacks were orange, but today, they are blue. Is this a continuity issue or is Rivera just playing with us? This is the kind of hard-hitting, detailed analysis you don’t get over at Comics Kingdom or other comics blog sites!
