WAYF:
I really like this update.
Good going, Lt. Potter, and despite the ethical message in the comic, the punchline also happened to be both funny and pretty clever.
Kudos, Jeph.
Welu:
In my experience, most embarrassing photos of people are posted by their friends, in jest, not malice. I'm not sure if you can get photos of yourself deleted from another account, but you should be able to make it so you can't get tagged in a specific photo and don't show up in your, "Photos of Me" bit.
Although since Potter's wording suggests she put them up herself, I'm not sure. Maybe there was a bunch of embarassing photos of her friends as well so her choice was put them all up, put all but hers up which isn't really fair or depending on the ratio of let's say, "flattering" to "not flattering", could involve filtering a lot of photos or enough that it's noticable and she just went for the easiest option.
I really like this strip and Jeph's explanation. It's neat to peak into his mind a little and see him think about the strip. Not to say he doesn't, we just don't get an in-depth glance of it.

They don't look the same to me. Check the eyebrows. She seems to be going from intense and aggravated in 2b to easing up and coming across with a sincere appeal for an apology in 3a. It can be easier to get an apology when your brows aren't angrily furrowed.
Also it may just be the monitor in college, but the colours seems less contrasting in 3a. No wait, I'm just short and the monitor was too high.
TinPenguin:
Ah, I would be so much richer if it weren't for my goddamn principles. Lt. Potter did the right thing, and I'm glad this plotline was resolved. Hell, it'd be pretty tempting to keep that five million, but if it were me, I don't think I'd be able to live with my newfound wealth knowing I had done nothing to earn or deserve it. I was quite uncomfortable not knowing if she had kept the money. Probably a similar kind of discomfort to what Jeph was feeling, judging by his explanation.
Artwork-wise, the change in detail in the eyebrows from 2b to 3a is perfect.
Warning - while you were typing everybody else said everything you wanted to say already, you redundant asshole

Exactly. You don't notice it on first glance, but when you do, you do.
Btw, what is she holding in panel 1? Could be a wallet in the right hand, but that other thing..
Border Reiver:
It was the right thing to do - both for the purpose of teaching that you can't just buy your way out of being an *sshole, and so that LT Potter realizes that her dignity should not be for sale.
