That's what the equations on the white board are for

Grad school was OK, but man, did it come on strong as a postdoc

It can be quite frustrating when your job is "FIX THE THINGS" or "DO YOUR THINK-STUFF."
Conrad Rogers
This is not unlike my experience at grad school. In fact, I'd go so far to say that every grad student feels these feels.

I think the scene and colors outside the window are changing to show the passage of time. This might be a reason for any skin-color changes as well. Typically ones skin color is darker in the summer when you spend more time outdoors in the sun. Um, unless you're a skiier, etc... :-P

I always thought Jeph peered into an interdimensional rift and drew what he saw on the other side.

I don't know that she thinks she's a failure. She just has no idea what it is she's supposed to be succeeding at. Without a target, it's hard to know which way to shoot.

The horror of this is that Liz has convinced herself that she's a failure when in fact she has been failed.

It's the red scribbles "STUPID" at the bottom of the whiteboard which get to me. Sometimes we make our own hell. (I'm a lot better at not doing that, these days, but I still do.)

Looks to me like some months elapsed already between panel 1 and panel 2, so Cubetown might have changed their colors during that time. (Nothing so mundane as painting them, of course.
Ruth Merriam
A shower and clean clothing would do her wonders.

It's Cubetown. Although, it *could* be a mistake, I think Jeph can just as easily blame "rogue science experiment(s)" and have it be believable here.

So did CubeTown dye the black cubes white at some point between panels 1 and 2? Or is that a lighting mistake?

I love how Liz's eyes go all lizardy when she's showing negative emotions!
Lorraine Clarke
Yes, definitely

And here I always just assumed comics grew on a tree, or something...

Cubetown needs to invest in a therapist.
Jeph Jacques
More or less
Fart Captor
Truly exceptional goblining tho

I really, really hope that in the background, Claire is explaining to Moray that this particular gap in her organisational flowchart really needs to be filled by a stealthy feral science goblin.
Chris Crowther
Well, she doesn't now.
Alasdair Mackintosh
I assume this is how comics are made.

HONEY! <3
