The punchline on this page is great, but I really love the moment that carries over from the previous page, where Gwen interacts with her kid. You have that moment sometimes with old friends who are parents now, where you can see hints of their parents in the way they talk to their kid while also seeing the contours of this incredibly intimate, unique relationship that has come into being between now and the last time you talked.

(Also, love Gwen just casually breast-feeding in the middle of the conversation while telling Eve she will get used to making her own needs a secondary priority. Gwen has earned so many levels in Mom.)

I like Larry's dig about how much more invested Will seems to be in the van than Larry is. Since we hear in a few pages that Bake 'N Bake didn't survive the pandemic, it seems like Will's in that stir-crazy post-employment headspace where he doesn't know where to redirect all the energy he'd usually be putting into work, so he's fixating on projects like Larry's van.

Is that what the kids are calling it now?

I would love to get a catch-up of how their relationship developed between this moment and the end of OP, but it's probably one of those things best left to the imagination. We all have some idea of how things must've been going.

I agree, seeing Will's shaving actually keep is weird.

Also seen in the cameos page:
- Chris
- Greg
- Louise C. Pantry (blocking most of Greg's face)

Nice to see that the nerds appear to be getting along with Puget Sean and his girlfriend! They've come a long way since the laser-tag arc.

I had confused the troublesome friend with Clark the New Yorker writer...Eve does seem to have a thing for guys with short dark hair and glasses.

This storyline is like a Brooklyn-centric version of The 39 Steps.

I love Will's nervous laughter here, because how else are you going to react when your good friend's mom briefly treats you as a confidant? It's nice that she can talk to you, but on the other hand, hahahaha it's a little weird to be telling me this!
