Posted on October 8, 2014 by Dawn
Rosa? Is there something you haven't told us? Or is the better question, is there anything you really have told us?

    Oh that’s so sad! But a good level of detail and backstory for Rosa.

    my first impression was: Oh Em Gee Rosa! backstory incoming, maybe? (hopefully 😀 )
    but then I also noticed Frank and Oscar in the 3rd panel and that made me smile 🙂

    Aww poor Rosa! I agree Daemon, it’s good to get some more backstory about her.

    Always thought Rosa looked like she was wearing some kind of military coveralls and thought she might be a military deserter
    But it’s a flight suit

    I that a chibi Rosa in the third panel?

    Also; yeah, helicopters need constant maintenance which often makes them more expensive than fixed wing craft. While Clear Stream is selling the romance of lone gun courier, I’m sure most belong to a UPS/FedEx like company.

    @SteelRaven – More like some sort of exploitative sub-contracting systerm.
    Fly one of our rigs – means have to justify expenses to company, with anything deemed ‘unneccesary’ coming out of your pay.
    Fly your own rig – responsible for costs yourself – which comes out of your pay.
    Take out a loan to buy your own rig – debt plus maintenance to pay off.

    And that’s not even getting into other issues run into by truckers in our reality – unrealistic contracts that mean you have to fly when exhausted, constant squeezing of margins, etc.

    The great thing about a flight suit is that out of context it looks more or less just a jump suit or coveralls like any mechanic might wear. Hell, Rosa could have been a Ghostbuster for all the clues it gave, but I still like that we’ve had the clue there since the beginning. 🙂
