Is it cold in here?:
1445, from jwhouk's awesome collection of strip summaries. I just searched it for "scorn".

@HiFranc:
Hm... I'm an apathetic of sorts, so I still can't fully understand why she needs to actually MOVE away. Wouldn't it be a little easier if she just asked for a few months time off from the bakery to care for her grandma?

Some illness last more than a few months.  For example, the average life expectancy of someone suffering Alzheimer's disease (time from diagnosis) is 5 years!

Hm... I meant a few months to just spend the time with her grandma. Not a few months until she gets better (which - based on her tip-toeing around the issue seems unlikely anyway).

But now that you mentioned Alzheimer's it stuck in my head for a while. Sometimes when Padma was mentioning her sick grandparent, I could've sworn there was a hint of desperation/hopelessness in the way she said it. If it is Alzheimer's (Dementia) it might be that her grandma has already lost the ability to recognize her grandchild ... and Padma knows.
This, for me, would actually make it really sad.

@Sweet-Tits debate:
Maybe Sweet-Tits is a kind of spiritual metaphorical apparition that takes hold of random young redheads throughout the strip, causing them to change shape and resemble ST.

edit:
I just voted for
"She has lost the ability to form short term memories and literally doesn't know what she was just talking about."
because now I think she IS her grandma!!!!!!!

Sounds like Jeph's having a really rough week. In case it has some kind of long-distance morale-increasing effect, I will just say that I think that Jeph is a champion and I certainly don't mind if he decides to settle for Yelling Bird tonight.
(Incidentally, if yesterday's strip was rushed due to his panic attack, it certainly didn't look like it.)

HELLO LAST PAGE but to respond to this point, my mom always told me that even between married couples, you always split a business 51/49. Even if something does happen to the relationship, the more important reason to do so is that somebody always has the decisionmaking vote in day-to-day things. My parents ran two businesses that way, one with her 51, and one with his 51. Sounds reasonable to me!

snubnose:
The comics are put up with such a delay recently that I notice the current comic the day after ...

... anyway, the composition of this one is really weird. Why do we see how Padma holds her hands in a frame ? Is Jeph trying to tell us something this way ?
