Traditionally — in the United States, at least — tips did go to service workers. Then do-gooders promoted the idea that tips should be shared equally by all, and then the Internal Revenue "Service" claimed that employees in certain professions always received tips that amounted to fifteen percent of their wages and taxed people accordingly.

Pimps, of course, are not Nice People and seldom Do The Right Thing.

He is still treating her like an object, and her emotions as something that can be bought, though. Just because he is being decent doesn't mean it's not sleazy.

She is still treating herself like an object, and her emotions as something that can be sold, though. Just because she's unhappy doesn't mean she's not literally asking for it.

Please tell me we're done with this mini arc

I forget, does Sam know if Liberty is still alive? I seem to recall their official break-up preceded her apparently getting KIA, which was why she later showed up bandaged at Hecate's Play House.

Remember how at one point she woke up from a bad dream and said "I have to stop Sammie."? That was probably three years ago. Lord of the Rings was shorter than this. And she's just walking out of the woods!

Yes, he does. He realized he almost killed her. https://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-12-11

Today I cracked up. Not from the comic, mind you... it's just that Tats changed the text below it to what amounts to "I'm now here, and here, and here. Thanks for the money."

...basically, he's handmaiding ^-^ Wonder if he's doing the zombie face at his desk like in yesterday's comic...

Again get these two back together, but I know it will be in a shitty way.

This storyline hasn't moved in years. Get on with it, Tats!

Well, if he's going to do it again, he needs to start on Death vs Old Year, so maybe this is his way of "pausing" the arc.

I'm wondering whether he'll drop the Death vs. Old Year business. MMXIX was inttroduced as being of ambiguous sex and gender ... but then Tats went off on his "gender pimp" tangent and introduced the Church of Gender. He might have painted himself into a corner regarding the mystery of MMXIX's gender.

About tips, comparisions noted that in the USA, people earned more with tips than in nations with no tipping culture and a wage by the hour. Overall tips are better.

Lyrics/words in strip from "Every breath you take" by the Police

This stuff is just so B-O-R-I-N-G

It wouldn't be decent storytelling in a primary school

Does he throw away any good scripts he writes or use a certified cretin as his sounding board?

Wasn’t there another strip with lyrics from that same song recently? But the creepier stalkery ones?

Hey! Don't call her names like that!

I think he's used that song on at least one other occasion. I don't recall whether it was with Satan watching his monitor displays or the eyebot drones spying on someone — perhaps both.

(A few years ago I read a discussion thread reacting to a young woman who stated that she had used that song in her wedding ceremony. She thought it was "sweet.")

You know, I accidentally entered in page 1379 of this thread... and it felt like it could be said about today's comics withouta problem.

Hi! Drones can do X-rays! Or maybe it's already established

I've gotta admit, pitting Libs against the woke pimp is a turn I wasn't expecting. I'm actually curioud for what will come next (something I won't like, probably, but a man can dream)

Is he going to capture Liberty and put her behind a window?

Prediction: he tries to capture Liberty, somehow manages to do it, Sam dashes to the rescue... and royally qucks it up while the Sisterhood frees his ex GF no problem, making him appear like a putz, thus ensuring that he keeps sinking into his mire of depression.

No change ensues, basically.

Because seriously, would you expect Tatsuya Ishida to make ONE male appear heroic? Well, okay, aside from Criminy, but Crim can barely be defined as "male" lately...

It could be another curbstomp.

Someone on the official forum asked if a character like Sam could have a redemption arc. Celina responded this: "the ideas the comic brings are more important". And since she knows Tats on a personal level... You get the idea.

Characters in this comic used to evolve. That time is definitely gone.

That is definitely something a random fan would say and definitely totally not a Tats sock puppet in disguise!

Re: Criminy.

I wouldn't say he can barely be defined as male. More like he can barely be defined as a character, and he definitely can't be defined as a heroic. He was turned into a supporting object for Fuchsia.

Why would a rabid anti-trans nutjob/fanatic like Tats have a female sock puppet account?

Then again, Tats is the kind of nutjob I'd believe it of
