Comic!

Comment:

One of the things I like about Forward is how I can imply so much about the setting by not including certain things. Lee and Zoa don't have to get out of bed to turn the lights on and off. They don't have to be looking at a device to send or receive money or to send or receive messages. Everything flows smoothly and automatically.

As we have already seen, this frictionless freedom allows Lee to get themselves in trouble very easily.

Zoa: So if you were to numerically rate that cuddle...
LC: I am officially rating you ten out of ten for your cuddling services, Zoa.
Zoa: Thank you very much. And I am rating you likewise, of course.
LC: Damn right.
