"Becky, I dont care what his opinions of U2 are"

Rob McBobson

Thank you. I was doing my best to think of a "pro bono" pun. Thank you for doing what I could not.

Ah, the moral complexities of funding sources. Carla's trying so hard, but I *am* a little surprised this is her first exposure to these things.

A side trustle

Kudos to Jamie (QueenofSodor) for predicting that Jacob's brother Harrison would, at least, be mentioned. Despite Leslie's misgivings, I have a feeling we'll be seeing him soon.

Glad to be of service

Well gee, Leslie, if you feel like that maybe you also should stop taking her A/V hookups because she either learned those skills from her parents who are, of course, the heads of Ruttech or from classes and education her parents are paying for. Why let Carla help you at all? If those skills are fair game, so should her personal cash (though I. get it more if Leslie's thinking in terms of it not being legally Carla's yet in terms of the trust)

who is harrison

This sucks. Leslie is the only teacher we see that really seems to care _and_ knows what she's doing. Still, there's no harm in asking Jacob's brother to see what he says. I really feel for Carla now. She seems to legitimately WANT to help Leslie, but doesn't know how.

it's like "no homo", but for laws

I could be wrong, but I assume that Harrison is Jacob's brother.

Rob McBobson

This is off-topic, but I just noticed that there's a two-hour-window between when the comic is published on the main site and when comments are allowed. I don't mean this as an any kind of complaint about that, but how come?

Logibear

Yup, last showed up with a little bubba and Joyce ended up entrapping Jacob to make Harrison think she was his girlfriend.

Lazuli

whend he show up

Not that I don't understand where Leslie is coming from, but remember: the line between a principled stance and foolish pride can be razor thin.

Shane Wegner

If I had to guess, I might speculate it deters some less helpful behaviors like “FIRST POST!!1”, something about bots, and maybe gives (the most opinionated) people a little cooling down time before posting the very thing that pops into their mind?

Shane Wegner

Is the challenge not difficult enough without inventing rules to make it more difficult? Your adversaries won’t be tying one or both hands behind their backs. Unless Carla got that money from mercenary contracts personally executing Bulmerian children, it doesn’t seem all that tainted to me. Or does Leslie consider Carla tainted by inheritance?

Shane Wegner

She can’t af-ford harrison.

@Lazuli: In Book 10, Chapter 1. Here's his first appearance: https://www.dumbingofage.com/comic/baby-2/ It was the beginning of the culmination of the arc in which Joyce initially tried to help Sarah with Jacob, then realized she liked him herself.
