I’m not liking this arc at all and pretty much want to fast forward till it’s all over, but….
What kind of company would let a new employee take a secret formula home with them to study? If it’s that big a deal, a mere sales representative is NOT going to get their hands on it. And I really don’t get why she’d even need it just to study the benefits and side effects of the drug?
Last thing: Isn’t Metromart where Lila used to work?
JF has a rather unique vision of hte world sometimes, and is probably trying to increase the suspense. And yes, the secret formula was found by two of Lila’s arch nemesis’ from her days at MetroMart.
I expect a twist to appear soon, perhaps involving Annie even.
Lila is still a young comic, and it can be a little unsettling at times, but it is almost always worth reading. The characters are evolving, which in itself is very unusual in a comic strip.
Sort of like For Better Or For Worse before Lynn retired. I read that strip for about 30 years, and enjoyed watching the characters grow and develop. Lila is not quite the same of course, but has the same kind of potentional..
LOL, infinite. So true. And thanks, Paul, for the kind words. Readers are definitely ambivalent about this storyline. Some like, some don’t. According to the Readers Poll on my blog, most, however, are concerned that Lila’s going to lose a good job as a result of this…

Yep, that is a compliment John.

Everytime I find myself wanting to say, “no one could be that stupid.” I always find I was wrong and there is someone that stupid. {sigh}

Somethings fishy, I think it’s a set up.
