i remember Jeph mentioning it on twitter every now and then!!
Those of us who grew up reading the comics page, and feeling puzzled by what Mary Worth was supposed to be, but still reading it each day along with the others!! There was a second soap opera comic too whose name is not registering currently!! And there was also Mark Trail!!! Realistically rendered people in at times charmingly at other times puzzlingly milquetoast situations , which, this situation in QC is not, but the idea of two character closeups having an important discussion about future matters quickly sent my memory to Mary Worth!!

In that case, might I recommend Jackie Wolenhaus's webcomic 'Between Failures'? Like Shannon K Garrity and Jeffrey C Wells' 'Skin Horse, it starts out in black and white with thr shift to color having narrative significance.

Ah yes, Yay the Freelancer...
I see Yay as being the one that management calls in when a particularly difficult situation needs to be "dealt with quietly and without undue publicity"...
Calling Yay is definitely the last resort and everyone in management is uneasy about having to deal with them...

Especially as Yay has a strong if Quixotic ethical frame-work. They are quite capable of betraying their employers if the person that they're supposed to 'deal with' has their sympathies.
Jimor:
Yeah, with their development, I could see Yay turning into a freelancer more in line with The Equalizer.

I've met a few Daves from Accounting. The whole 'vaguely uncomfortable with our gender presentation' thing usually ends one of two ways - I haven't been the target, but I've watched it happen, about both gender presentation and race: One, the Dave decides he's more uncomfortable about the fact that he's uncomfortable, and vaguely concerned this means he's discriminating and then the Dave tries to understand, or two, the Dave decides that being uncomfortable is the target's fault and problems commence.
