If there's one thing I know about comic strips, it's that saying "it won't happen again" means it will definitely happen again.

"Hey, let's roll up some new characters and do a one-off next week, just for a change of pace!"

"Nah, we want to stick with the old campaign."

"Uh-huh... okay... fine..."

Don't fret, Tasha -- he's way too into R2 to fool around anyway.

Like my old DM used to say: Encumbrance is one of the few problems that goes away if you just ignore it!

Isobel: I’ve been working on a lot of stories about tech elites, the technopoly and so on. And something I’ve come across again and again is a “bunker mentality.” This idea that the tech bros have that they want to create their own jurisdictions, their own walled-off communities that will protect them from government regulation — but maybe in the future will also protect them from apocalyptic climate chaos, or the ravages of societal breakdown. Can you explain this mentality?

Atossa: I think these tech leaders have convinced themselves that they’re victims, that everyone hates them and they need to protect themselves at all costs. It’s a classic persecution complex seen throughout history among monarchs and dictators. With power comes paranoia.
