I believe jrpelt was suggesting that people may have been worried that Marla would be leaving the strip when this was first published. “Put on a bus” is a trope where a character is leaves the series with the option to be brought back later if the creator chooses.
I wonder how many people worried that Marla was getting put on the bus when this strip first saw light of day.
Sorry, what?
Probably nobody. She was promoted to manager before her maternity leave.
Could you explain what you mean? I legitimately don’t understand.
