This Interview is Over

One more thing before you head out into the vast abyss of darkness that surrounds my office.  How did you hear about us?  Did that Queen Bee run her mouth?  Did I actually do a good job of promoting this gallery?  Oh, you're a New Yorker, so you saw it in the newsletter.

As we're setting up for Margo to have an inappropriate relationship with her subordinate, whatever happened to Trey the architect? 

The Case of the Missing Phone Number

I was thinking this was just another throwaway day, where absolutely nothing happens - "Oops no phone number - oh here it is!" - until I looked more closely at the second panel. No need to call Ms. Emery, Margo, it appears Evan is actually transforming into her. Now that's drama!

It's People

Now that Margo's learned her competitor's secret - apparently, they have a killer Soylent Green recipe - she is done with Evan. And clearly, he knows what happens to people Margo has no use for.

Involved and Invisible

If you mean "involved" as in "makes out with her married clients" and "invisible" as in "does nothing but sit at home constantly refreshing the gossip sites to see if her client is mentioned" then Margo is certainly both of those things.

But this fresh-faced young man should watch out... it appears that Margo has aged about 30 years in the second panel, which means she will really be in need of that virgin sacrifice to restore her youth.

So Maggie's taking a little vacation, so you're stuck with Casey and I for a little while.

"Ms. Magee, your ten o'clock evisceration is right on schedule!"  "Excellent Carla, hopefully he is a worthy sacrifice and will slake my thirst for human souls..."

Doesn't Margo already have an assistant?  What is Mr. Graham applying for?  Besides the joy of wetting himself with fear?

Tuesday, August 7th

"Is it this dark, malevolent shadow behind me that is slowly creeping upon you?  Don't worry, it's very selective about the souls it destroys...You're not really it's type..."

It seems as if Margo used the rumor mill to publicize herself.  Maybe she really does have a gift for this business.
 

The M and M Agency

Sunday August 5, 2012

Well I guess this is one of those rare cases where the Sunday strip isn't just a lame recap, but instead gives away half of the next week's strips. Which is okay, because it probably means Margo and Lu Ann will get two chances to chime in merrily about how ill-suited Tommie was for a career in the music business, and Margo will get twice as many chances to gloat about what a great publicist she is, even though all we saw her do was run a Google search on WASP gossip sites.

Monday August 6, 2012

So begins the illuminatingly detailed weekday strip! See, now we know that it was Lu Ann who brought in the champagne. Great! Also, Margo's such a great publicist that I guess she turned the art gallery into a P.R. office? Which she named after herself, twice? Otherwise, what's the other M for? Mills (R.I.P.) and Margo? Mim and Margo? Oh man. Mim and Margo. That'd be sweet. I hope Mim likes the Art Deco redesign.

The Hospital Wins

Sorry I've been out of commission, guys. I've been out with a fever. Olympic fever. It's been... all-consuming. I mean, I'm literally losing sleep over this nonsense. I can't help it. I love it so.

SO ANYWAY! Awww. First we ignore Lu Ann, now we're getting rid of Rick, AKA Rick-E of Boys on the Street? I suppose this means we'll never be visiting the sound studio/Kennedy Space Center ever again. I think I'll miss that most of all. Goodbye, White Bread Studios. I'll see you... in my dreams.
