What is she supposed to be, some kind of LIPSTICK SALESMAN?

[Sahan]

What have you got against lipstick salespeople, huh? What did lipstick sellers ever do to you?

[Eisbreaker]

Lipstick salespeople murdered my family and razed my village to the ground.

You can`t lay that on lipstick salespeople; cosmetic tradespersons of all types do that.

I seriously just don't get this comic. I feel like it must be super obvious and I'm just missing something. Anyone wanna explain? It's bugging me.

[Edminster]

it's about how you shouldn't trust anyone involved in the cosmetics industry

It's a metaphor, silly. A metaphor for the hidden dangers of superfluous cosmetics.

To give a serious answer, the end panel is implying that she's tricking him into letting her move in with the promise of more sex, and once she's settled in, she'll trap him in a relationship against his will.

Or spear him, either or.

Interesting conversation between Zach and weareallfromearth regarding this comic and Zach's "is this sexist?" blog post about it.

[Edminster]

"Hey guys let's have a central place to discuss the comic in an open forum-like environment"
*proceeds to make several different and competing avenues of communication, completely ignoring the one that was explicitly created for discussion of his work*

That's our Weiner!

[Oldrac the Chitinous]

You'd almost think his forum had become hostile to him or something.

[Lethal Interjection]

Down with Zach! Up with phentermine!

[Edminster]

Viva revolucion! Viva Tramadol!

"So does that makeup smear when the lady gives a blowjob? Whether or not I'll continue to speak to you REALLY hinges on this."

[DonRetrasado]

I'm not sure I get what this means. "In LA, it is considered acceptable to ask a potential secretary to send headshots."
