Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for February 8 2024.
PANEL ONE: Close on Erlak and Nizini. ERLAK: Actually, a soup–themed bar isn't something I just came up with on a whim. I've been thinking about this for a while. NIZINI: I'm really not sure that makes it better. PANEL TWO: View from above of Erlak and Nizini sitting on the bench. ERLAK: No, seriously. I've even come up with some possible names for the bar, NIZINI: Oh, dear... PANEL THREE: Closer on Erlak and Nizini. ERLAK: Like “THE SOUP-ERBAR”. Or “BARSOUPIAL”. Or... NIZINI: I'd tell you to quit while you're ahead, except I'm not sure you ever were.

Eh... I've said several times I should do more with Nizini. One thing I should do less of with her, though, is just have her insult Erlak. The last few strips have been basically nothing but her putting Erlak down, and I think she's coming across as kind of mean-spirited, which isn't really what I want.
