I got a ten-second laugh out of the last panel. And it's nice to actually have an explanation for him not knowing her drinking habits.

However, there's a verbal ambiguity in panel 2. Does "I'll make it up to you" mean "I'll fulfill that obligation to you" or "I'll fabricate a story for you"? I assume the former (he repays her by keeping her safe), but strictly speaking the context allows either reading.

I thought it was evident - "I'll make sure you won't have wasted your time" - but I tinkered with it a little. Better?

Yes, that works. Of course "make it up to you" is a common phrase in the intended sense; but in that case, my brain wanted to seek out the antecedent of "it" in the preceding clause, and hit on "the story" for a brief time.

A verbal ambiguity? In this comic?

Ooooh, improved dialogue. Nice. Characters fleshing out right and left, and no, I am not commenting on Pat's physique.

I completely agree with Pat's comment about Stephen King.

@Word - It's more likely than you think.
It takes an average of forty-three muscles to frown, seventeen muscles to smile...

But only three for proper trigger squeeze.
