Saint James Infirmary 82: Swing Shift

PK--might you favor us with the name of the waitress proprietor?  It seems like we won't be seeing her for at least a month but that she does have something to contribute to the story.  Giving us her name isn't spoilerific.

Her  name is Maddy (short for Maddison); she's called by name in the last panel of this issue (it's on her nametag, too,  but it's awfully small). Didn't mean to ignore the question - I got caught up following Fontgate over on this week's thread and didn't see this post for a while!

What?!    That speech bubble was there the whole time?!   *slaps forehead* Thanks.   But, if Maddy is the blond that Jacqui's talking to, then who's speaking to Maddy from behind us (the audience) at the end of the counter?   If I'd actually registered that speech bubble the first 60 times I read the comic ( ) (remember how long it took me to find the watch on that Jacqui-Erin-Mal Marli splash page? ), I'd have assumed that the blonde was talking over her shoulder to Maddy in the kitchen asking to change shifts.  Now that I know she isn't, I have to ask, who does that speech bubble belong to?  We have several shots of the interior of the diner and Madison seems to be the only waitress on duty right now.

The cook.

Excellent.  What are the cook's name and gender?

Well, inquiring minds wanna know.

Now, about the septugenarian driver of the red pickup--er, first things first.

1. Were we correct in surmising that the company he works for is called Quality Property Management?  If not, what's actually painted on his passenger door?

2. Is he related to Maddy?  He seems to be a regular since she knows how he likes his coffee without asking him.

3. What is his name?

I know not to go into too much detail about the Princess Pink blondes, but I thought I'd ask a question

Are they our second set of twins or are they just blonde cowowrkers/friends who look similar because they wear the same uniform?
