He’s out of there.

He’s going to go walk the streets.

Bills and rent paid and food on the table now, personal scruples later.

JJ, he’s been a “carefully screened hostess” ever since he took on the tobacco account. This is just a different kind of selling out.

What’s the difference between his job and yours as a performance artist. Remember some of the escorts had more clothes on than you JJ in your venue.

“I might sell my body, if I want to, lord knows, you’ve already sold your mind.”

Having seen examples of her “art” in previous strips, it’s funny to hear her refer to “principles”…I guess they’ll just have to fight it out for the immoral high ground…

Interesting that we may be seeing (again, if we were paying attention way back when) the split of JJ & Mike.

“A whore should be judged by the same criteria as other professionals offering services for pay — such as dentists,lawyers, hairdressers, physicians, plumbers, etc. Is sheprofessionally competent? Does she give good measure? Is she honest with her clients?

“It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of plumbers and much higher than that of lawyers. And enormously higher than that of professors.”

—Lazarus Long

He was doing tobacco at the agency.

Yeah. So. Whats your point. He made ads for cigarettes. How high is that bar, really.

Spoiler alert: when does J.J. start working for Trump? Not much room for self-righteousness then. Besides, isn’t legalising prostitution a progressive goal?

looks like he snagged the Patriots owner with his ads.

Slut shaming isn’t acceptable anymore.

Mike’s in marketing, so he’s already self-identified as a whore.

The problem now is that instead of a high priced courtesan, this job has him diminished to the level of cut-rate streetwalker.
