Code thirteen is actually something from an old job, it’s what we shouted in the dining room when there was a big spill and we needed towels. Code five was used when the toaster was on fire. These were the only codes.
WREN: Hello?
NHI: Hey Wren, it’s Nhi.
WREN: Oh, hey! I can finally save your number…
NHI: Yeah, sorry I never got back to you the other day. I’m not so good with phones.
WREN: That’s ok. What’s up?
NHI: Well, I was doing this outline for anthro and wondering if you had the-
WREN: Awww!
WREN: Oh, sorry. I’m at Maria’s, and her kitten keeps doing super cute stuff.

WREN: Yeah, he –
NHI: Can you hold for a second?
WREN: Sure.
NHI: JAE! Get dressed and fire up google maps. There’s a Code 13 happening downtown.
Hehe, too cute! I love Nhi’s expression in panel 3. At my workplace, “Mr. Smith” is code for a fire. There’s also a codeword for a bomb, but I can’t remember what it is. Knock on wood we’ll never have to use it…
Regina Spektor! 😀 This is the first time my hipster internet life and my queer internet life have intersected. *sniff* I’m so happy.
Also kittens. Yay. I totally read about half of this comic last year and forgot about it and remembered the amazing today when I had been reading depressing trans issues stuff and found it again by searching for “Joss Whedon puppy.” It’s my new/old favorite webcomic. <3 <3

Ooo character with phone issues.
First time I’ve seen that represented in fiction; which seems odd because HOLY FUCK ITS COMMON.
I totally guffawed at today’s commentary ^_^
Love the comic <3
I realize that’s a blind behind Nhi in the last panel, but I am so fully imagining it’s a screen with kittens projected onto it AT ALL TIMES.
I agree with Jack – totally made me lol!
