Authors' Notes:
Looks like the Lair's schemes are having the desired effect: Tea Corp opens and does not suck up all the client-base right off the street. Also, for our local Québec readers, we've got a Frivolesque cameo (let us know if you find it!) -- that's a lovely slice of life webcomic created by a good friend of ours, which you should of course check out (http://frivolesque.com/).
