It is obvious to M that the audience interpretation is wrong, but the comic-reality is still a bit surprising (almost shocking even). Having sold a ridiculous amount of the material suspending K, that would be just as mind-boggling.
It’s just the slack dangling feet that does it. There’s almost no possible situation where a living person would be in that pose. So it’s a quite popular way to imply they’re dead.
Oh wow. I’m re-reading the archive, so I know Katherine’s fine, but this still gave me a jump.
Monica’s eyes in panel 3 don’t help, do they?
The people who were reading this as it went up must have hated having three days between this one and the next one.
Didn’t she just eat lunch with Shelly and Tepoz? …?
Different outfit, so I’m sure it’s a different day. But even if it wasn’t, that girl can eat!
Different outfit, yes. But we also saw the leftovers from her lunch witch Shelly laying on her desk merely two strips ago.
God dammit “with”, “with Shelly”.
might i point out that this should only look like suicide to us reading? monica should be able to see katherine’s true intentions.
