Now long-done with thumbnailing, Ford should be working on the pages proper so they have something other than just the one comic to entice new readers in. He isn't. It isn't that it's too hot to get anything done. It's that he's been preoccupied working on something else, something that's been taking a lot more of his brainpower than drawing human-on-harpy sex.

He doesn't always know the best way to address an issue. In fact he's at the point where he expects that his first instinct for solving a problem is just as likely to get him in trouble. He's also learned that with Larry, it pays to to follow that first instinct because 'absurd and inadvisable' is sort of the name of the game where they're both concerned. When he sees that Larry's a point where his progress is at the mercy of a progress bar, he senses it's his opportunity to butt in.

"Do you have a moment to look something over for me?"

He plops a stack of papers onto the desk before Larry can actually answer. The top paper in the stack seems to be a title page, but this isn't a script for another comic to add to the library. Instead the page reads:

On Digital Anal Insertion, in Defense of Allowing One's Boyfriend to Give a Practical Demonstration
Dr. Stanford F. Pines, PhD¹²

Larry is more than happy to have a distraction from watching a loading bar. He pops up in his seat when Ford approaches.

"Yea--oh!"

He gives the packet of papers a surprised stare as it practically instantly manifests before him. "Is this something you want to publish?" he asks, as he leans over to pick it up--without having read the title yet.

When he does, he gives it a thoughtful pause.

"Hmm..."

He starts carefully reading through it.

For most of it, he has no idea that Ford is referring to Larry as the "case study" for "previous negative experiences" until enough of the little details add up in his mind about three-quarters of the way through. He continues through it, because heck, he's come this far already...and he does get a kick out of all of these graphs and figures that are, when not informative, hilarious and cheeky.

When he finishes reading it, Larry closes the packet of papers and puts them back on his desk. He looks up at Ford with a smile on his face.

"Well, it seems like you have a pretty solid foundation. Buuuuut... I think you need more, eh, scientific and quantifiable evidence to support your claim."

He giggles.
