Personal Rescue

I don't for a second believe Pip is even remotely honest about the last panel's dialogue. Hilary is his a porn star he obsessed over. He'd probably take all the spankings by cucumber if she wanted to do that.

And panel 3 is a definiate "My face when" reaction image waiting to happen.

Eh eh... we definitely understand that Kat went to the store only for vengeance.

Aaand, that the hamburger must be really tasty!

Yeah, was kinda wondering when Pip's predicament was going to come up.
Two thoughts:
One: I don't think for a second that Pip is naive enough to believe that Hilary's wrath will be pleasant even for him (spankings, S&M, leather attire, etc.)
And Two: Kat seems more concerned with how tasty her burger is than Pip's situation

Thank you Kat for saving Pip....for now. And how I love her approved expression of those grease-ball burgers. Very nice.

Dude, it's the UK. It's either going to be McDonalds or Burger King. The latter whips the former. They're obviously Burger King. Explains why they don't have any ketchup.

XD Kat's face in the fourth panel. I think if Hilary tried to go after Pip, he would probably use the same black mail that art did - they all know how to deal with her now

I think Pip was just being sarcastic in that last panel. Kat just got done telling him that if Hilary can't abuse her directly, she abuses her friends. Well Hilary had no idea that he and Kat were friends until she collected him for lunch. If you combine the fact that she's now his boss with the likelihood that she'll figure out that it was him who dug up the blackmail photos, well...

But...but Brits don't eat fast food! They have fish 'n chips for every meal at pubs while drinking tea 24/7!

I didn't notice that the ketchup was missing.

McDonald's gives you fancy little paper cups to put your ketchup in. Burger King doesn't. So when I've eaten there I've just spread it on the paper sheet they put on the tray. Better than splurting it in your french fries packet, getting your fingers all messy and then having to walk upstairs just to wash your hands.

That burger is way too small to be a burger king burger. And, at least in the part of the UK that I live in, McDonalds doesn't automatically give you tomato sauce - you have to specifically ask for it.

As for Pip's predicament, I doubt that the blackmail will work anymore. The whole reason it worked before was that Ann Winters was 'image conscious'. You can throw a stone in any direction in any town centre, and you'll break a charity shop's window. They're not exactly...exclusive. They'll take anybody, as long as they'll make them money.

The refurbished McDonalds that I've been too have their own dedicated sauce section where you you can fill up at your leisure.

What, they don't have Wimpy's over there anymore? (last time I was in the UK was 1990 and they put mayo on my hamburger. YECH!)

Only McDonald's and Burger King? Oh God, you poor bastards ...

As an American, I apologize for exporting you guys some of the lowest quality Burger joints we have to offer... >_<

If any of you guys come to the states, do yourselves a favor and find a Culver's, Red Robin, Steak & Shake, or even a Wendy's for that matter. Those places serve real hamburgers. ;-)

Those are the only fast food places you have over there?! I feel so bad for you. You need a Five Guys' over there!

The popularity of burger peddlers on this little island is generally crushed beneath the mighty juggernaut of Greggs: A true Brit's preferred source of fast, crappy food - which is A) tastier and B) cheaper.

You and your Evil British Fast Food Black Magic.

yeah you guys need a five guys or a smash burger there those would really rocket off if all you have is McDung and burger peen

Greggs used to be my favourite fast food place. But then they cancelled the ham 'n' cheese pasties. They don't do them anymore. I use Subway now.

Eddie Rockets fulfills a much appreciated role in my life whenever I'm back in the home country, but sadly that's a long long way away these days.

Coming full circle. This whole grudge started of a lunch box. What are the odds that it will either end the animosity between them, or make it worse. Because as it stands now Hillary does have the lunch box and Kat does not.

I'm thinking that the new Pink Pony lunchbox will definately be a catalyst. As it is what started their rivalry, it has a lot of emotional sigificance to them both. I suspect a fight will start over possession of the box in question that will quickly grow beyond any rational limits.

Either that will end with a tearful reconciliation over their mutual love for Pink Pony or it will lead to said box being destroyed as their hatred spills over into violence again. Then maybe a real-world version of that LesYay! kiss.

I think it should end with:
1). Kat and Hilary fight over the lunchbox. Turns into a full on catfight with hair pulling and clothes tearing and insults, slapping and scratching. Then they go all les yay and makeout in a pile of clothes Pip hasn't put up for display yet
Or 2). Pip steals the lunchbox, runs out into traffic gets hit by a car and goes to hospital, throws the lunchbox on the floor and calls the nurse to pick it up. Steamed up glasses result as the nurse bends over to pick it up.

I'm starting to thinking that too. Even though Kat never found out what the shove was about & never associated it with their rivalry, the lunchbox will probably catch her eye & she will attenpt to purchase it. Once again unwittingly riling Hilary & leading to the "Shove of Jealousy II"

Highly doubtful, but we can always dream, right?

Long and short the ball is in Hilary's court.

Don't put that out there or you will provoke the god of spitefulness to make it not happen.
