   So she’s considering it? And it’s good to know she’s been successful in her time away.

   The plot thickens! Good to know Conquest has been actively working. Looks like Galasso now has real reasons to be paranoid :p

   Nice to see Conquest made herself succesful. But I see old habits die hard XD

   So, Jacob. Do you cost your boss several thousand dollars and yourself a job by having sex with a hot female? Or do you resist your addiction and save us all weeks of (deserved) angsting? Your call, man. All we can do is judge you for it.

     but, if he has sex with Conquest, that will count as her taking the ‘other’ offer, and thus Galasso will get to keep his several thousand dollars

       Galasso doesn’t get to keep that money. This comic does not show me, behind the shelves, grabbing the briefcase.

         Damn it! If I hadn’t been so sneaky I would’ve gotten to the money before HippieJoe. It’s the bank job all over again (except with less gunfire).

         Hah, it’s all Willis money. I swiped the real money several months ago and put counterfeit bills with Willis on them in the place of the original money. And then I opened a portal and left the Walkyverse with the money. And I used ninety-three kilograms of compressed air as a ‘counterweight’ during the portal tansfer so as not to anger the Cheese.

   Isn’t this on the Evil Overlord list somewhere? Something about leaving heirs and general-purpose offspring laying about with reasonable cause and sufficient motivation to devote their energy to one day overthrowing you? Way to drop the ball on that one, Galasso.

   In other news, congratz to Connie on her successes. I can only imagine this is going to cause some trouble for the crew, one way or another.

     I think Gallasso would be proud of her if she overthrew him.

     Ya know I bet Connie owns McAwesome!

     Or not. It would be hilarious if Connie of Many Partners and Jacob the sex addict dated for a long time and became very close without ever going past first base. And it would probably piss Galasso off and annoy Faz, so triple win.

     Actually, if she’s a sex addict too…this relationship could be very interesting indeed.

      Brother, if you’re still having problems with an established character (Conquest) doing what the established character is known for (being whored out by Galasso), then you’re just reading the wrong comic.

      Hey, don’t treat it like we think this scenario is all fine and dandy with the genders as they are, buddy. This is pretty dark comedy to begin with.

      I only find a small amount of humorous irony in the situation either way. With a male sex addict, I focus more on the humor, as with a female sex addict it seems more like some kind of pornography fanfic one would read online.

    So… if Glasso is now offering up his employee to Conquest as a means to keep Conquest out of a business… would that be considered sex slavery, some for of prostitution or something else…?

    I love the look Jacob has in third panel. “Dear god, why…?”

    And it’s kinda sad how this is. Right now that Jacob is actively avoiding sex, every woman wants him trouser snake. But if his luck is like most men’s luck, the second he actually WANTS to get laid, no one will pay him the slightest attention.

    Oh Murphy’s law, you bitch, you…

      Somehow I doubt Jacob ever had any problem getting laid in his sex addict days.

        Yeah, but that was before he was an on-panel character. He’s now subject to the Law of Comedic Irony.

    Well, wait, Conni. If you own them, then THEY’RE NOT REALLY INDEPENDENT, NOW ARE THEY?

    BAM! CHECK AND MATE!

    I first registered her shirt in the second panel, and thought that it was a light purple v-neck with a dark purple collar, and thought that was a really attractive look. I would buy that shirt.

    Her actual shirt, actually too slutty for me, which I guess is about right for that character, I guess. Still, it’s an upgrade from her original costume; slightly slutty, but still a shirt I could imagine a small business owner would wear. Not entirely innappropriate.

    Somehow, I found this to be more of an indication of character progression than her actual dialogue, although now that I look at it, her voice is more active and less inferior.

    Usually when I read webcomics, the characters don’t have very distinct voices in my mind. But something about Conquest’s manner of speech always makes her sound like Blackarachnia of Beast Wars in my head.

    Connie runs her own toy stores? I wonder how much she has been rubbing her success in her father’s face? Also, Robin now has a way to get rid of her sister; just send her to work for one of Connie’s stores.

    I cannot help but imagine Connie as the kind of person to be retroactivly horrified at herself for putting a recovering sex addict in a position like that. Or at least be really embaressed.

    In any case I doubt her reaction to finding out (if she does) will be anything like Roz’s. For some reason.

    So does this mean that Jacob’s going to go and work for Connie now? That could be interesting.

      Jacob appears to be highly dedicated in overcoming his addiction; I seriously doubt that he would want to work for someone who is constantly throwing herself at him; and Connie being in a position of authority (Connie being the boss and all), would just make things even more awkward and uncomfortable for him. Looks like Jacob is going to have to explain himself one more time.

    So, if Conquest is Talia Al Ghul, shouldn’t her return be heralded by the addition of Ethan’s new son who is a cocky British kid?

    So… Glasso has just been “off screen” for the last umpteen zillion frames? I figured he was locked up or abducted or something.

    And, he has a (more or less) coherent business plan? Heck he even knows he is in a business? Out of character, he isn’t nearly crazy enough.
