I love Ruth, too. Thing is, I am having trouble calling her my favourite simply because there are so many good candidates. Dina comes close but it is SO hard for me to choose just one.

It's Lina

2023-03-21 11:47:39 +0000 UTCThis whole situation is good! To be be POTUS (or lots of other things), it's a good instinct and skill to consult advisors who can provide insight and life experience. As a Resident Advisor, it's literally in Ruth's job title. Only other thing I can think of is if Dorothy talked to some professor mentor types.

2023-03-21 04:46:24 +0000 UTCRuth constantly refuses to acknowledge that she can be good at her job, both because Ruth and because she's so rarely called upon to do the tough stuff like this. Dorothy seems more willing to listen than Amber's been in similar discussions with Ruth (for one thing, Dorothy came to Ruth herself, which Amber would never do), and hopefully this will continue to be a productive conversation.

2023-03-21 04:16:54 +0000 UTCI got briefly confused by the patch of ceiling above Ruth in the first panel because I thought it was a speech balloon without words in it.

2023-03-21 04:14:36 +0000 UTCIn the first two panels, Ruth's body language is thoughtful, then warm and engaged with Dorothy, inclining her head and moving her hands apart. As Ruth characterizes the problem, Dorothy stops meeting her eyes, showing that Ruth's analysis is hitting home. The strip starts and ends with wordless panels, and alternates speakers in between, with Dorothy offering only "yeah". Dorothy, of course, gets the borderless panels: this is about her.
