Torlek:
My money's on Vicki. Wouldn't that be a head trip for Marten.
Carl-E:
I'll take that bet.
'cause it's not Vicki. She'd be too young. It can happen, but I doubt she'd have a well enough established business that quickly out of college. Dora's older, and is still running CoD like it's a one-woman show, with only some part time help.
Jeph's given us very few older characters, though. Most are parents, the previous generation. Then there was Amir, but he was in the direct social circle.
I'm guessing it would be someone about Amir's age, from a half-generation older (older than the main characters, but not as old as their parents). Someone who had the time to build up a business, with a regular staff, and maybe even a manager (I get the feeling Padma does things like scheduling and handling emergencies like burning dough hooks. but not much more).
It'll be interesting to find out!

If I had to pick the boss out of the known characters, I'd pick Scarneck (I feel ridiculous calling him that; we need names, Jeph!), though I wouldn't be surprised if it's somebody entirely new.

With the kind of pastry/etc. inventory we've been seeing (counter space and shelves behind the counter going almost wall-to-wall!), the Secret Bakery almost looks like a chain business to me (or one that is trying to look like one).
Maybe the owner or "boss" is out looking for investors and the Secret Bakery we see is the first startup business or something?

...maybe Kenshin the Plaid here?

It's intreresting how Hanners said she did not want to meet her doppleganger, yet has been facing him this entire time, bringing up the same objections to the same take-charge types...
On that note, sometimes it's best to let minions out to do dirty work like this. Plausible deniability that way.

For comic #1924...
1. So Padma is not the boss (&/or owner) of The Secret Bakery? veeerrryyy iiinnnteresting... If Padma is not the boss/owner, then she has to be either senior employee (like Faye) if not manager from the way she has been portrayed thus far.
2. I do not get the impression that Renee or "scar-neck dude" are "the boss" either, having re-read Number 1845: Everywhere Is The Same (feel free to show other examples, counter-points or supportive-wise, QC archivists! :police: ). I do think that we are going to be introduced to a new TSB character (meaning TSB's boss &/or owner), which will be better.
3. Loved the in-tandem script for this strip, especially Faye + Padma's sharing of word balloons and facial expressions for panels #3-4.
4. I hope we get to see a TSB-analogue of Hanners ;) . Though I also am coming to think that Elliot possibly may be it, supporting character-wise at least...?
