If you follow this arc, Emily ends up spending a lot of time out of the office in the middle of the day. I have no explanation for that. That surprises me. I'd usually make a timeline.
Kimberly's resentment of Emily never got dealt with much - she was going to be bitter that Emily got to go to college and she didn't. Emily's obliviousness wound up being prominent enough anyhow.
Unlike Minerva Presents A Fairy Tale. At the time, I was writing very slowly and couldn't get a week ahead. I had notes for this arc, which Isabel adapted into ten strips. I don't remember exactly why.
The Jack Benny show did similar things - the cast would adapt a play or movie. They'd play themselves-playing-the-characters-in-the-play. Like you see here, more or less.
The first panel here was the punchline of the original comic I wrote.
