Though IDofaJB doesn't have actual chapters or story lines, I feel we've moved into what would be the next storyline, so that means new topic for discussion.

Just wanted to give a bit note of applause. I'm thoroughly enjoying the series and I'm hoping for more updates soon!

Very funny page today, I actually had to laugh at it (rare thing for me, excluding evil laughs).

Coffee it helps on all sorts of levels.
We all wear masks. Either over our faces or our hearts.

Detective Ema Skye. I'm in charge of this investigation.

He was my best friend without him I don't know what i'd do. When he was around I felt like I still had a heart.

Now will she find it strange that she has food waiting for her now, or think that she just forgot that she made the meal in the first place...

I think Jeanie might want to change clothes before poofing into Neil's office...

Rule #1 in webcomics, TV shows, movies, and any other sort of media: Avoid phrases with ironic foreshadowing. You can never, EVER say any of the following:

- "This couldn't get any worse!"
- "There is NO WAY that I'm EVER going to [Insert embarrassing or morally questionable act here]."
- "Luckily, there's no such thing as [Insert spectral or mythological being/figure here]."
- "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
- "What could possibly go wrong?"
- "Relax. What's he going to do? [Insert seemingly meaningless or impossible act that will actually bring about the speaker's downfall here?"
- "I would give ANYTHING to [Insert desired action/situation here]. ANYTHING!"

And, of course, as Neil demonstrated...

- "My life is pretty dull."

By the way, I see that CD Rudd's given Neil a calendar for his cubicle... and I think- wait, what's this I taste in my mouth as I gaze upon today's comic? Why, I do believe that it's 31 flavors of AWESOME. :D

Many thanks for the HoC reference, Ruddster. :D You rock.
Humor. Action. Superpowers. And a poor sap who gets hurt a lot. It's a good formula.

Maybe he has a provisional clearance, and they haven't gotten around to doing the full background check yet.

I had a prov. TS clearance a while back, and as far as I know they didn't do much more than make a few phone calls.

I really don't know how NASA handles security, but I bet It'll embarrass Neil.
