Interesting introspection on Jim's part. I get why he'd be so confused. For the most part he and Pam get on great, but there's the flinch creating this tension. I like how he really starts to get to know her as a way to try and get to the bottom of it.

The DC vs. Marvel debate was wonderful. As was the fact that she carries around a comic book like that. Especially an issue that's not nearly as well known as some of the Marvel standards.

Hey look it's Roy in need of a punching. She's a person you dope, not a dog for you to command. You make it so easy to hate Roy in all the best, this that's the word for it, ways.

And it in now way surprises me that Dwight would go for Dark Horse. Probably go on some big rant about the over commercialization and trite narratives of DC and Marvel.

Author's Response: Yeah, sometimes the arguments just write themselves. Even the Dwight bits. Thanks!
