The ties that grind
Comic strips by Ryan Reid who never cuts corners, probably
In these familiar comic strips, Robin’s mother comes for a visit! Robin reflects on her failed career as a reporter, and has the usual trouble relating to her over-bearing but loving mother. Robot continues with his corporate brown-nosing by retrieving his tie from Robin’s house. Robin gets contacted by her secret government insider – the first time since she was black-listed from reporting years ago. Fun times!
