I want people to smile — did you notice? Funerals always end up with someone smiling: it’s natural, it’s Life taking over Death.

Chapter 14, Page 3

Ah, here we have a meeting of the minds.  Lola may have been the greatest mind in the world a few decades ago, and Kevin…well, he’s no slouch, but he doesn’t seem to understand proper decorum.

↓ Transcript
Lola: Kevin, we need to talk.
Kevin: Is that a new wheelchair, Lola? You know, most women accessorize their outfits with handbags.
Lola: I had the boys in the lab build it for me. Kevin, I want you to take a leave of absence.
Kevin: Why? Everything's going splendidly.
Lola: Throwing nukes at a civilian population. Angering the G.U.S. council. Murdering Humphries, for god's sake.
Kevin: I lost my temper, I'll admit. You know how I am before I've had tea.

    “You know how I am before I’ve had tea”
    Famous last words…

  2. battlecharge says:

    I’ve wondered, based on Kevin murdering one of his aides, do the “manager” Genocide Man (e.g Lola and Kevin) have comparable combat modifications to Jacob and Joey?

  3. Sonja says:

    @battlecharge: As they got body modifications (white eyes; Lola’s bones were damaged by it) I would imagine that they got the same program like Jacob and the others.

  4. Matt40000 says:

    Lola’s bones were already damaged, the process just stopped them getting worse.

  5. Moxie Man says:

    Is it really wise to ask Kevin to take a leave of absence? Do you really want him where you can keep a close eye on him? What kind of hobbies do you think he’d take-up to “kill” time during his leave of absence? I don’t think this is a good idea. Of course, he’ll probably refuse in the next couple of panels.

  6. Madorakas says:

    I agree whit Kevin. I totaly kill colleges and nuke random populations when i get grumpy and i see no reason for her to blow it out of proportion.

    Kevin will likely kill her for being so troublesome.

  7. Unmaker says:

    “I had the boys in the lab build it for me.”
    Built-in weapons to counter Kevin if he gets violent, hopefully.

    One of these two is shortly going to be unable to function further. Who will Caera follow?

  8. Ming the Merciless says:

    I say she blow Kevin out the window…”Defenestrate” being the proper term.
    There is indeed one too many at the top and she will make the follow up more “interesting”.
    Kevin would be too easy…he’s already committed a major mistake just meeting her.

  9. God of Cows says:

    I hope the boys in the lab know what they’re doing

  10. NJB says:

    Calling it now:
    Lola, with the Wheelchair, in the Head office.
    Then, following her witnessing via security cam: Caera, with the sword, in the corridor.
    Doubles would have made cluedo even better actually..

  11. Sonja says:

    @Matt40000: No, the process made it worse. Kevin said so on Chapter 6, Page 14.

  12. Given the chapter name, someone’s probably not getting out alive…

    Kevin would clearly curbstomp Lola in an unarmed fight, but that wheelchair looks vaguely like a tank. Perhaps it has a few deadly tricks?

  13. Lord Eric says:

    Little late to mention it, but comments for the appropriate page are closed…isn’t one of the practices of the Brahmin caste non-violence?

  14. Elihias says:

    Lola’s tank looks chunky enough to transform into
    a nice little fighting mecha… and if not, there’s still plenty of room on it to hide a bunch
    of weapons. And being Lola, she’d know what works
    best against a G.M. Be careful what you do next, Kevin…

    Eli…
