See, there are guys here. They're just jerks.
The Kickstarter already succeeded, but there's still time to grab a book! The more orders we get, the better the book ends up!
Also, the second book is up on comiXology now, go check it!

well, Rosie certainly seems to know how to get what she wants.
I'm reminded of the movie Bringing Up Baby
Necklaces for everyone..!
Except the maid.
Good eyes. I totes missed that.
Ouch, cutting a leg of ham with a bread knife. Serious disrespect there, Rosie.
Reminds me of all the girls who, when told to iron, burned the shirts. And all the men who never did learn how to separate the whites from the colors.
Except she's obviously doing it on purpose...remember she's also a master at some culinary art as well...
Oh, I know. And I'm sure there was a lot of accidental-on-purpose burning of shirts and pink whites. That's what I meant to refer to.
Are you sure she's a cook? Seems more like the Hostess to me?
What, all of them?
Lesson 1: The best way to perfectionist into doing something for you is to do it wrong.
My grandfather was a master at this. He called it "creative incompetence." The secret is, whenever someone asks you to do something, to do it just badly enough that they never ask you to do it again, but not so badly that they realize you're doing it on purpose.
Did your grandfather work for British Leyland in the 70s by any chance?
... Can't tell if naive or cunning....
Such irreverence for proper form! I do believe I might just faint dead-away!
Bah, I just use a butcher knife for everything. Plus, while wielding a butcher knife, people don't bother you while cooking.
That's why I love cutting things.
So, any speculation on Mr Booth's time zone? Chef's clothes and hair could be from almost anytime. From the general lack of manners I'm guessing modern - late 1980's or later.
With that collar size (80s were generally skinnier collars on chef coats) and the colors, I'd guess mid 90s to early 2000s, but it could also be a particular restaurant or chef's standard uniform for his staff. The rolled up sleeves, however, indicate he's a less formal chef and that would mean post Marco Pierre White Michelin stars, so 1994-ish onwards. Guesses all, of course!
From what we know about jerky characters, though, is that they soften up in the end. hint hint
I once heard the story of a musician and his roommate. The roommate came home late several times, and the musician would get on his back endlessly. So what the roommate started doing, is every time the musician was a jerk, the next time he was late, he would play a piece by Beathoven on the piano - but leave out the last bar. This bugged the musician so much that he had to get out of bed and play though the whole dang thing again so he could do it right.
The moral of the story is: artists are was to aggravate. :D
I like Rosie.
(*Artists are easy to aggravate. Stud auto-correct.)
And what more can be said to that...
Hey, just wanted to make sure: if I go for the 17pound pledge, but want a lapel pin too, I should pledge 20 right?
If you're in the UK, yep! If you're outside the UK, it'd be £23.
Thanks! Off to do so =D
Have I mentioned yet that I love this comic? :D
The lady knows how to get what she wants.
Rosie is awesome!
