WCDT Strips 3631 to 3635 (11th to 15th December 2017
Bad Superman:
This whole Tilly arc is an example of bad storytelling.
No, seriously, go back to strip #3606, where Hannelore has her first Tilly-based conversation with her mother. Then skip ahead to today’s strip #3635, to the second phone call. The second call should have been the first one!
Everything that happened between 3606 and 3635 was useless filler. It didn’t help moving the plot along one bit! And don’t tell me "It’s for character development." or "It’s for getting to know Tilly." No. Character development happens during plot, not apart from it. And also, we didn’t really learn anything important we didn’t already know after the first two or three strips involving Tilly, now did we?
Love Tilly or hate them, but stuff like that makes me angry.
Tova:
Pffft.
TinPenguin:
Well, looks like we're not clear of The Abominable Yesman yet, but finally, plot! Character development! And a whole six panels without Tilly!
A Duck:
Huh, turns out Tilly's father was a Chekov's gun(man) after all.
The whole "corporate espionage" thing might have been more than a dad joke.
And Hannelore is about to assert herself. Take cover, everyone.

Could be, though it really depends on what kind of deal it is. I've seen some businesses having been bought out, with the promise that their children would be managing the plant afterwards. Result; the production has moved, but they're still manager of an empty plant.
