Ruby is scary.
So we have a new member, chubby and bespectacled. And as unease with her yaoi fantasies that Ruby was. *groan*

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
Ah, so Zii gave up on Ruby straight away. I thought that was a possibility, though I hoped to see that situation develop further.
Anyhow, Zii is just discovering what she's getting into with Ruby. She looks a little unhappy at being ... monitored, but I suspect that at most she'll decide to try talking to Ruby about not turning into a crap boss. She can always pull the "older woman of the world" card. Ruby is a personality type that she's maybe not terribly familiar with, and I think she'll be more intrigued than annoyed for now.
Jung, on the other hand, may be annoyed at how dog-eared the contents of the yaoi racks are getting.
Anyway - is it just me, or does Ramona look a bit less realistic than most of Giz's characters these days? We know that Giz can draw plump characters who look like real people, with actual eyes instead of dots, even. And the big round nerd glasses have become part of Ruby's shtick, but here they just look like a cliche.

The dot eyes were just meant to express extreme anxiety, I think. I believe we've seen examples of this in previous strips but I can't remember where.

You know Ruby, "employee monitoring" implies that you are actually paying zii for this.

Maybe she is. Perhaps Ruby is partnering with Zii since she has more connections to potential models. And while this can be annoying at least Ruby never had Zii dress as Lady Tra-La-La.

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
Given that Ruby is openly running the club as a business, appointed Zii as its vice-president, and started talking in the first person plural a couple of strips ago, I'd guess that they settled this more or less formally off-screen before Ruby used the word "employee". In Ruby's shoes, I'd have haggled out a profit-sharing arrangement rather than a salary.

Well, worst case, Ruby buys one copy of everything on her new credit card for the club library. Then laminates every page.

Re: 17-11-15 Not so loud
For some reason I am super proud of Ruby in this comic.
Look at dat character development:

Ruby Then: "These two men are KISSING! That's that's just not right! I must put a stop to this right now!"
Ruby Now: ;)
