OOTS #1274 - The Discussion Thread

Panel 10 is what has me thinking Kish et. al. may be correct, between "up here" and the delay on "my... family's burden."

Oh, that raised my eyebrow the second I read it, too.

Broadly: It could be confirmation bias, but I went back and read the first Roy-Julia conversation and then the second, and it does feel different to me. Besides the possible slip-ups, she's more aggressive, more intent on talking strategy, less willing to razz Roy. I'm leaning more toward Eugene in disguise.

Went back and reread myself, too, and you're right. And the biggest thing that jumped out at me was Julia completely balking at the idea of helping in any way other than giving advice to start with and now being frustrated that giving advice is the only way she can help. In the span of what, eight hours or so?

So yeah, Eugene makes the most sense.
