When you finally get a jab in at your lame boss 😈

Also Adam does not exist and cannot read your threats, but I have to. Please don't get too graphically violent in the replies.

Put him back on the avian ladder! That'll solve the problem

Hieroglyph

If he’s doing this because she grabbed him earlier AND potentially doing this to try to provoke her so he can play the victim, I swear to god

Robert Ulus

From the smirk on his face, he knows this is pretty rude. I wonder if he has a part two to this stunt?

I hope he steps in a cold wet puddle every time he wears socks

dragonetgirl

D: that is way out of personal space allowance. And if he says "well you did it to me earlier" HEALTH AND SAFETY IS DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL CONTACT! (that's badly worded but hopefully people get my meaning)

kelpicorn

BIP SEND HIM TO ORBIT

Rigel Regent

That's called workplace harassment, Adam. You don't touch people like that, Adam. People were fired for less, Adam.

SkeletonWick

Someone did not complete their harassment training requirements

ClockworkC0rvus

Adam is about to get tossed out of Eden (aka the airlock)

Ray

also. two other things. 1. poor yao…i know xe was not intending for some shit like this to happen just because xe was curious (if a little…up front) about talita’s antlers. 2. this reminds me of that comic when she was a kid where she was swimming and one of her bullies started poking her in her nostril on her side. how many other times has she had her personal space violated because her body is different from a human’s…anyway if adam doesn’t get his comeuppance from this i’m gonna develop an ulcer

Curona Crescent

Pick him up by the scruff of his shirt and haul his ass to Employee Relations. That’s assault and Talita does not need to deal with his crap.

Tigme

I would've laughed so hard if it broke off when he grabbed it and everyone started screaming. Who wants to yank his hair? He can't feel it, after all!

Bandi

My goodness, out of all the things to happen... I never expected to see Talita get physical harassed like Yao. I never expected a call back to what happened many pages prior. But that goes to show how tight knit your story telling is. Adam is such a fantastically written awful person, a bully plain and simple.

Hemocyanin

Hoo boy, this just makes me think of all the other kinds of harassment Talita likely had to put up with throughout her life. Like that one comic when she was a teen, and one of the other kids jabbed her in the lungs. You shouldn't put your hands on someone without asking, even if they're a funny looking alien. I have a feeling this might be one of the many straws about to break the camel's back.

Shannon O'Connell

"JABS" DON'T INVOLVE NONCONSENSUAL GRABBING ADAM! Poor Talita...! I know everyone has already said it, but it truly feels like this incident is gonna be the final straw for our girl. 💜

Pagi

Put that scallywag in an iron coffin with a months worth of frozen zucchini, strap it to the launch loop and yeet him back to Sol

Frankie Pigeon

Astonishing behavior towards somebody who has already proven she can pick you up like a naughty cat

Minty

Woaaah boy. Really hope he gets something coming back to bite him for this because assaulting your boss is utterly disgusting :(

Timonger

ASSAULT! ASSAULT!! 😱 FIRE HIS ASS!!!! 🤬

Leah Sophia Bitner

Oh yeah. He knows exactly what he's doing. If she calls him out, he'll bring up that she put HER hands on HIM earlier, despite it being unsafe and her potentially saving his life, AND he now has 'just cause' to say she's targeting him, and being a bad manager. Fuck this dickbag all the way up the launch loop. Talita..you need to go, girl. I don't think Mel is going to be helpful - likely less-than.

Lee

This kind of overly confident boundary-defying behavior makes me think he's done this in a few different workplaces and hasn't faced any official consequences. No wonder he's a temp, he's probably been quietly booted from most places he's stepped foot in. I feel bad for any other aliens that might've had the misfortune of having him as a coworker. Especially avians, I wouldn't doubt that he's done some 'playful' tail-feather yanking before. Ouch...

Moriar

I hope that Adam gets fired for cause, and ends up washing dishes or whatever for the remainder of how long he was scheduled to wait for the ship off of Dirtball.

Ghostpony

The problem with treating people like that is that they often have friends, the question becomes who will knock his block off, or report him.

beadlizard

if he laughs hes going to hell

Sparky Lurkdragon

Rrrrgh, what a turd. Hope he steps on a lego. And/or gets fired, getting fired works, too. As others have said, I could see him using the fact that Talita saved his life against this harassment, but he can pound sand about it, the fucker.

Serithal Esthuanon

Got it, nice simple threats 👍 I want to punch him in the throat

Jackalgirl

Yeah, that's assault. >: /

Zeta

UGH, he's such a horrible little twerp.

picatso3

See the writing and framing here is excellent, because you just *know* he's going to bring up the incident a few pages back as a defense. Smarmy bastard. Also s/o to Yao's O_O in panel 1

M0N5T3R5

//insert meme of that guy looking at the camera as individual (presumed Adam) messes up his vape trick// A d a m

Deneb

Oh no he's gonna say he was only doing it because she yanked on him isn't he D:

Min

Yao, come on. You contributed to this, don't just pull away.

Thee

Adam needs to go back to kindergarden

werewolf1248

someone behind the camera: "do you want to get bit Adam? cause thats how you get bit"

Krangis

Ohhh I’m livid on her behalf… I’m curious how she’ll handle this. Talita is an anxious type, but she’s also more than capable of getting pissed off when the situation requires. Even so, she can’t just punt the little shit, and he’s fully capable of exaggerating how the incident earlier that day went down. I have a hunch Mel is going to fail to handle this situation well, and Talita’s finally gonna snap.

AsTheJayFlies

setting aside my unfathomable rage at adam, i havent seen anyone mention the way the first panel’s background contributes to the atmosphere. The sudden harshness of the black, and the curved streak of grey that serves to accentuate the motion of her head (as it gets FUCKING YANKED OH MY GOD) is some subtle but genius work

rey

yeesh. i hope adam gets to go home to a nice soothing relaxing bath and chills the fuck out

bakedbananners

It’s so frustrating to be in Talita’s position. She could easily hurt Adam, but doing so would prove that she’s less human/ more “animalistic” in a way. Sticking up for yourself means being vulnerable, against someone who WANTS to knock you down…Plus he can just say “well she yanked on ME so why’s there a double standard”.

Voligne

Fire his ass. Fire his ass and put him on the next space plane home. He is done, he can go find work elsewhere. Thats what I would do. Under no circumstances do you ever *ever* lay hands on your coworkers without permission. Unless it is an emergency or you are doing something thats gonna get you killed of course.

SenGrisane

Dang. Did not expect that. If this was an anime, Talita would punch him through the roof.

Styrofoam Skillet

I want to hug Talita! Only if she want's a hug of course.

rabbitwarden

yeah this is the kinda guy with multiple workplace harassment records

Marge

insane workplace harassment and xenophobia aside, doesnt this shithead have any like, survival instincts??? like who in their right mind is like "yea let me antagonize my 9ft tall bodybuilder carnivorous shift lead. this will be hilarious and so smart of me"

Aleks Haecky

I am in awe and admiration of Talita for not instinctively at the minimum yanking backwards or understandably pushing forward and then yanking back. - And yes, me viscreal reaction to this panel--which means, kudos to the author for touching a(nother) difficult topic!!! When I was a kid, I was taught that if "someone physically bothers you, you defend yourself". When my kids were in school and defended themselves, I got a call from the teacher, and the original harasser's parent didn't.

Kieran

That little shit. And he's going to try to justify himself by saying she yanked him off the ladder, when that was because he might have died if he'd kept going! This is going to be the straw that breaks Talita's back, isn't it?

zaratustra

I'm sure it'll all clear up once Talita explains that if *she* engages in that kind of horseplay, Adam will end with broken bones.

Joysweeper

ouch yeah between Adam's bullshit and a bunch of main comic readers deciding Idrisah's mom is abusive Jay's having to read a lot of angry comments huh

Blue Rhythm

Jarvis, turn this man into a balloon animal

Morghann Patterson

I know what that feels like, unfortunately. God I hope there’s a space HR (or like… xeno hr. Human Resources is a bad thing to be named if the person being assaulted isn’t human)
