original_post:_2/10/2006____________________________ Kim is kind of in her vulnerable stage at this point, but still thinking about her future. And yes, Rae is reading some Bronte. The third panel isn’t really her looking at the readers, but more of a glance up, in realization that there’s more to what Kim just said. It’s funny how many people saw this strip, and thought that these two were going to hook up. That Kim’s whole reintroduction into the plot was to have her get with Rae. Silly, huh?
