First of all, comics are going to run late this week. Isabel has family obligations that require us to shift our schedule forward by about six hours. We apologize for not having comics done before this, but it's not something we can skip on or risk sleeping through.
Secondly, you'll notice that several of the You Say it First arcs have had a Recommended Reading tag. There hasn't been one on the recent storylines because there's an awful lot of it. The stories are meant to stand on their own. I hope they do, but it's a moderately complex situation and I think that if you understand more, you'll enjoy it more. If you want to catch up on the backstory:
A lot of what we're seeing here goes back to
The Troublesome Troubles of Ms. Taylor.
Kimberly's Grandfather and the history of Lemon Technology were mentioned in
The New Guy,
The Letter, and
What Happened?.
Patrick and Sofia's relationship was a primary focus of
The Dance. and
The Roommate, and a large plot point in
Lateral Transfer.
Patrick's interactions with Brisbane, Kimberly, (and Richard and Sinclair) are many, but the more notable and recent ones include
Employee of the Year, Lateral Transfer, and
Port Problems.
If you're just getting in, this chain of events (and all the ones in the Troubled Times stories) were set in motion by
The Troublesome Troubles of Patrick Windsor.
I'm not sure that's everything, but I believe it's a good start.
