And this, again, raises questions about Brutus' place in the company. Brutus seems really high up on the totem pole but gets paid crap. Who else is above Brutus? He only talks business with Veeblefester.
I just realized the copyright is 2018 so these are old strips and I've already commented on them. When this strip
first ran, I made a long diatribe about voting and a special election in Ohio. This time, I'm going believe they are arguing about what the movie
Barbie is about. Gladys believes it's a commentary on being a woman with sly commentary on manhood while Brutus believes it's about a girl getting her first period.
It's why Gladys is wearing pink.
Rich people have problems, too. *draws fake tear down my cheek*
I've never seen Brutus meditate so why is he suggesting it? "Have you ever tried meditation to help you relax, Chief? I personally haven't, but I've heard about it!"
