TODAY’S COMICS: Nothing Doing 31-35

p1: The top-left corner is a view of Linkter, a work-based social network. The tabs at the top read Home, Jobs, Messages, Fealty. There are three posts: Cheswick Blimm, Chief Hustle Officer - Earlier today, my newest employee slipped on a banana peel and got his whole head stuck in the toilet. He was scared to admit his mistake, but when he came to me, soaked in toilet water, I surprised him — and dunked my head in the toilet too. #teambuilding #leadership Taylor Gunbody, Motivational Speaker - Young entrepenuers: if you haven’t made your first million by age 20, what’s wrong with you? You’re a disgrace. I hate you. I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you dead!! Join my mentorship program today Rickolas Nixon, Dealership Owner - Question for my lawyer connections. One of my employees let me know that they want to take two days off next month to attend a wedding. What’s the quickest way I can go about getting them evicted from their home?   In the bottom-right, Autumn is on the couch looking at their laptop. Summer, flopped over the back of the couch, is also looking at it. Summer: Why do you spend so much time looking at this website? Autumn: Y’know, I’m not sure… same reason people stare at car accidents I guess
p1: Jeanie is vacuuming the hallway next to the screaming skull, which is screaming. The shop-vac has an image of a face on it which looks oddly similar to hers. p2: Still vacuuming, Jeanie glances up at the skull. p3: Jeanie walks towards the skull, looking around as she reaches out to it. p4: She wraps her arms around the skull’s glass container in a big hug, squishing her face up against it. Jeanie, quietly: aaaaa
p1: Autumn is sitting at her desk talking to Harvey, while Vee works on their laptop in the background. Autumn: You want me to start my own blog series? Harvey: Yep! I think it’d be good for you to take charge of a project. p2: A: But… I already write all the site content. How is this any different? H: For starters, we’ll be giving you a byline!  p3: Autumn leans forward, astonished. A: Whoa, really? H: That’s right! p4: Autumn deflates. H: Right there in 5pt font: “Staff writer” A: Ah, p5: Harvey happily crows over his decision while Autumn turns back around, looking worn out but amused. H: Now anybody who scrolls down to the bottom of the page and highlights the blank area under the post will know just how much we value your contributions. A: Yes, I suspect that’s true
p1: Autumn is laying their head down on a table while Summer pulls her jacket on behind them. Summer: Get up, dork, we gotta catch the bus. Autumn: bleeehhhh ok. p2: Outside, Summer locks their apartment door while Autumn stands against the wall one step down the stairs. p3: Summer turns to see Autumn with folded arms and an irritable expression. S: Alright, let’s- whoa, what’s wrong? p4: Autumn looks up grumpily. A: I wanna go home. S: Ah, I see. Sorry, it’s just that usually you make it downstairs before throwing a tantrum
p1: Autumn, sitting on the couch, is laughing at a shirt Summer is holding up. It has a game console controller with a little bow and reads “Gamer Girl.” Summer: Hey, check out this shirt I found in my closet. A: Oh wow. Where’d you get that and why don’t you wear it every single day p2: Summer walks towards the other side of the couch, smiling at the shirt. S: My mom got it for me after I told her that I’m trans. A: Oh no it’s earnest! You shoulda said so first, now I feel mean p3: Summer starts to sit as Autumn looks thoughtfully up at the ceiling. A: Y’know, I don’t know if I could ever fully come out to my family like that… S: Aw that’s -- wait, I thought you did back in college p4: Autumn grins goofily as Summer settles into her seat. A: Well sure, that’s when I came out as nonbinary… and they’ve known I’m a lesbian since high school… but I could never tell them that I’m a gamer. S: The shirt’s not worth it, Autumn. You take that one to the grave

OK THAT’S ALL GOODBYE!!!
