One kind word can change someone's entire Tuesday. But a really mean couple of words can ruin someone's entire month. Way more productive. ---- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote EACH day. Mon=[#141 -1 *796] Tue=[#142 -1 *821] NCoIDâ„¢87

Sasha really isn't a tinker-y wrench wench? Somebody hold my mint julep, I feel faint... that's waaay too much deception.

Man, Riff is throwing some serious shade there. Well-deserved, too.
Also those reference comics have some nice extra bits too: I love Torg's comment about Riff's dad at the funeral, knowing what we do now.

There was this experiment where an actor would pose as a professor, speaking a lecture to a group of university students. They thought it was the best lecture ever, and claimed that they really got to understand the subject in a deep way.

I don't doubt it.

Lectures are by definition non-interactive, so it literally doesn't matter whether the person delivering it comprehends the material or not.

I never caught on that she wasn't the tinkering type, until Bun-Bun pointed it out and than I didn't want to believe it until i found out she worked for Hereti Corp. I WANT Sasha to be 'good' but Idont know if I trust her.
