Annotated 42-10
Hmmm, I see Bandit has decided to go with the emotional coping strategy of “not giving a shit.” Probably a good idea; I don’t think I can fault it. I mean, would it be more likable for Bandit to show some flicker of concern about the disappearance of a woman whom she once said would be one of her “best friends for life”? Sure. But would it be more believable? Not necessarily. And would it be healthier, in terms of moving on from a chapter of her life that’s irrevocably closed? Definitely not.
Dean Reynolds is wearing a curious expression here. I feel like he is cautiously optimistic about how this meeting will go but also nervous about venturing so far outside of his comfort zone. This is the first time we’ve seen him really playing politics, and he’s not at all used to it. Can he get Bandit to do what he needs without compromising his fundamental honesty? Guess we’ll find out at the same time he does.
FB: “GUILDED AGE bets you Bandit Keynes can fit a whole apple in her mouth in the time it takes you to read today’s page.”
Best friends for life? Which one? So many of them have ended by now, it was probably one of those.

That link works; the one under the comic just goes to…this comic.
Cinema Sins: “Let’s make her eat an apple to make her look even more of a douchebag. ×blink!×”
Was absolutely thinking the same thing, lol. Once I had that trope pointed out to me, I could never unsee it. Why is it ALWAYS an apple?!?
I have no idea. Nor why it is a “thing”. Sure apples are the “original sin” but really?
Is not wanting to see a doctor somehow assholy?
Granted, I’m middly allergic to apples, so they are “evil” to me, but…
Apple? Really?
Dean Reynold’s uncertainty is really coming through for me, here, and it probably helps Bandit act a little more securely. She might be able to get a bigger advantage of this than he intended.
