The way I think it works better is that it gives Caneghem a bit more of a presence that he otherwise lacks here, and the double meaning of it, coming from him, fits perfectly for his character. It makes him come across like he’s backing up Iwatani’s assurances (“Come on, of course this isn’t a mad grab for power, who would want to deal with THAT much administrative work?”) while actually expressing how much of a dumpster fire this fucking place has become lately.

If it were coming from Iwatani, it would simply be another panel of him elaborating on the same assurances he’s already been expressing. It’s certainly not bad for him to do so, but another nod towards Caneghem’s true feelings while still delivering the same message is a better option.

I just noticed that model of the Eiffel Tower on the top of the bookshelf. La France est partout!

The line’s perfect for Caneghem. It exudes his usual passive-aggressive “I fucking hate it here to be honest” while still “agreeing” to the conversation. In fact Iwatani who keep’s acting like his nation and work are such a privilege, who keeps faking humbleness, wouldn’t say something like “a headache”. He’d imply it’s a big burden and he’d try his best, for Gastonia.

That’s my take.

It’s the gesture that got me at a loss. It feels like there might’ve been a woopsy when asking Waltrip to make the page and names got switched.

Taro’s grin is so nakedly evil in that last panel that I couldn’t help but laugh out loud upon seeing it. But in a good way!

“I can’t wait to be king”

Or as Honest Trailers put it, “I can’t wait till dad dies”
