A call back to Adrians inability to be in social contact with any and everyone.  Multiple people try to get in touch with each other;  Kanti with Adrian,   Adrien with someone else (in person).  Raven with Erin.  Each with its lack of connection. Its pause disconnect.   Phones don't connect, lovers don't see eye to eye.  The warm welcome expected is returned with an ice age glare.  That is the core message of this strip. Never be 100% on the reaction you expect. You may just get... a bad reception.

Or its lesbian midgets. :)

I like what Jacqui's wearing.  Is the rollover text just more song lyrics?

The Ramones shirt is excellent, but this looks promising, though I have to ask, does this mean an end to the cheerier edge to Jacqui's intimidation?

Apparently, Adrian DID take his guitar for his discussion with Rain (but we have no concrete evidence what happened).  And Erin, corraled Laura and took her to Deep Black Vinyl for a heart-to-heart?

Erin's message made me laugh.  I like how her abrasiveness is undiminished when criticizing Adrian.  Clearly, having devoted sex slaves doesn't diminish one's responsibility to keep them happy with you. 

I like how each of the messages brings out the various characters' personalities.  You can totally 'hear' Erin's, Laura's and Mal's outlook come through in the text.  Well done.
