The plot is thickening! Will it focus on Tiff alone in the big, dark, spooky mansion? Or will a rescue/intervention take place? Could go either way. Stay tuned!
Once again we see the reliable Tiffany appear in the midst of a minor crisis. Calling in to inform her shift boss that she wouldn’t make it. That’s my girl! 8^ )
TJ and Ox (or Ferret-Face and Thumb-with-Features-Face) are acting like they actually care about Tiffany! How will the writers screw that up? I mean, they’re like Lucy with the football when it comes to Tiffany storylines.
Tiffany must have been taking a shower when the power went out! She was planning to come to the Fuse to work her shift!Will TJ go to the Farrell Mansion and maybe start the backup generator?
Bet Ox goes over to check on Tiffany. TJ runs to his files for Tiffany’s address and sends him out. Helpless gals like Tiffany draws males like bees to a honey hive.
It is obvious that TJ will come to the rescue. If Ox goes, once he gets there he will have nothing to say. It is only Tuesday so it will be a long quiet week. I can see TJ and Tiff together. It is time to start a new romance.
One real-world thing pops out to me, this Baby Boomer—didn’t Pops pop for a land line? I always like to joke that the Ma Bell land-lines (they still own and control them) will be here when the only other travelers of contemporary civilization around are cockroaches, and rats/mice, and I know that more and more people are cutting the cord but it would be a good back-up particularly now that his ditzy daughter in that big isolated mansion all alone. But anyway TJ and Ox, and/or others from her Fuse family (Les) will come to the rescue. See I said Wednesday, so tomorrow seems like a likely rescue panel set.
Tiffany has lost all hope of surviving the night. Loneliness and terror are destroying her, poor thing… TJ knows where her house is, Let’s hope he goes to check if she’s okay.
After years of living in Florida, when cell phones routinely lost power during and after hurricanes, I still have a landline, and I’m now back in Pittsburgh (was born and raised here.) Surprise ice and snow storm the second week I was here in this ‘retirement residence’ kept the power out for 5 days. We had emergency power that kept hall lights, elevator and a few emergency lights in apartments on; I lost all the food in my fridge, but I still had my landline phone. Good thing, because I was required to quarantine for the first 2 weeks after arriving from Florida, so I was able to call for food to be delivered…
How late is the shift Tiffany was supposed to work? It was already dark when the power went out and it’s been out for 30 minutes so her shift must not start until at least 6 pm. She can’t serve alcohol and most people are done eating by 9 pm. That is a short shift for Tiffany.
To those wanting her to use the heat of the car to dry her hair and get to work, how does she get an electric garage door open? And run the car without gassing herself?
Hmm. My phone has never sounded like that when the battery dwindles. It sometimes sounds like that when whomever I am talking with is in an area with poor service.
I still find it extremely odd that Tiffany is choosing to not work BECAUSE her hair is wet. That is just foolish.
Overall, I have been enjoying the “dark scene” drawing styles Greg has employed quite a bit!!!! The story…. at least the “Tiffany” story, thus far, has been bland.
Okay I’m just gonna say it: Tiffany’s overly-melodramatic message in the third panel was hilarious. It more than makes up for the weird way in which these phones treated “ran out of battery power” more as “walkie-talkie losing reception.”.
TJ goes to the Farrell Mansion to rescue Tiffany, wreaks his signature havoc.
Maybe he tries to connect a generator and starts an electrical fire.
Or tries to light that fancy gas stove and blows the house up.
On-duty firefighter Brad comes to the rescue, dressed in his dress uniform. Tiff desperately grabs onto his clip-on tie and falls and hits her head. She wakes up with amnesia or an entirely different personalty.
…
Or Tiff just emotes for the next two days until the next transition, to the darkened Gulag. Les hears Punk meowing but can’t find him.
Oxford, now is the time! I hear your Destiny calling! Be a good lad now and ride off to save Princess Tiffany from her panic attack. Reap the rewards of a gallant knight!

Just get in the car, turn the heat and blower on, and go for a drive. That will get you out of the house and your hair will dry in the process.

Pretty sure that’s not how cell phone batteries work. They either work or they don’t work, they don’t break up like the voice box on an 80s toy.

Could Tiffany stop being such a ditz? She shows real growth and then – this. Can’t go to work because her hair is wet. Like it doesn’t dry on its own.
