Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 04, 2014, 03:20:06 pm The return of Rain's storyline? Or might this be a memorable splash of fun between Pearl and Erin? ;) ;D
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: Haight on August 05, 2014, 12:07:40 am Neither. Kind of another 'oh fuck' moment.
That secretary is, ahem, drawn well, however. Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 05, 2014, 12:22:01 am Corporate espionage + sibling rivalry X MC'ed eye candy = CHAOS
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: elbenton on August 05, 2014, 02:42:14 am Your first product placement panel?
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: Daphne on August 05, 2014, 02:43:00 am Your first product placement panel? I think we've had branded stuff in panels before... but it's funny, given that I'm an Apple-everything girl myself. :) Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 05, 2014, 07:59:47 am Is Dani's desktop an actual brand? I thought it was a placeholder.

The apparent lack of need for context in the secretary's call suggests it's Jakob or a representative on the other end. Unless there's some other interested party in all this. I wonder how they managed to sneak her in past Johannes's defences... Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 05, 2014, 01:06:18 pm That last bit seems like the easiest question in the history of this strip. I think Johannes follows the "Charlie Wilson" model when hiring his assistants. This woman certainly fit that bill. Either Jakob or Big Daddy Kuppler left enough of a fake paper trail to avoid raising any red flags. End of story.
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: GodWilling on August 05, 2014, 01:28:16 pm Previous product placement has included Tampax and Always. The key thing in these endeavours is reaching your target audience.
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 05, 2014, 03:54:11 pm Why was this "the future?" It didn't look like it had Jetsons cars or Star Trek transporters or anything? Did something say 2014 in that office?
Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: GodWilling on August 05, 2014, 04:15:45 pm I know very little about phones but that's from after January 2012, isn't it? But, it's a parallel universe, and all that. The Watch will be commonplace in our universe in a year or two.

Prerelease model. :-) Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary 317: Diversion Post by: jmundt29 on August 05, 2014, 05:33:34 pm To be perfectly honest, the phone thing didn't make any waves with me. One of my favorite recent comedies She's Out of My League (about an ordinary guy somehow landing a drop-dead gorgeous model-looking chick with a law degree and a successful party-planning business) featured an I-Phone that the characters treated as new that the director chortled about being an obsolete model during filming on the feature commentary. So what?
I was far more interested in and annoyed by the fact that the "deleted scenes" were actually scenes from the Theatrical release of the film that got cut from the DVD and slapped in their own little "special feature" (instead of being actual "deleted scenes.") Hmph. ::) |
