February 10, 2014 - Yes, Ellie put on pants between panels 1 and 2.

If you haven't seen this video yet, it's worth checking out (and NSFW, but if you're reading a comic about abortion in your workplace and haven't been fired yet, your boss is either super lax or super unobservant).

Also Woody Allen responded to the Dylan Farrow letter with one of his own. Wherein he proceeds to fail to address coaching he may have received from lawyers, bribes he may have made to "experts," and claims rapists behave rationally (unlike children). I think what I found most jarring were his completely irrelevant asides attacking Mia Farrow's character when much like Mia Farrow seemed completely uninterested in prosecuting him for criminal charges, he seemed completely uninterested in prosecuting her as emotionally abusive to her children herself. The debate generally seems to boil down to whether Woody Allen or Mia Farrow is the worse parent, cuz frankly no matter what Woody Allen is at least a negligent parent and Mia Farrow may or may not be one. Dylan Farrow pretty much suffers no matter what as do all the children in this situation unless Soon-Yi's an outstanding parent, which I hope she is.

Dylan Farrow also published a rebuttal to Woody Allen's letter which she makes referrence to all the people she hopes she's encouraged to come forward, and the more positive tone this letter takes makes me more positive about beneficial things to come from this whole situation.

Speaking of progress in regards to the treatment of victims facing sexual assault, CNN published a partial list of many advocates making differences at colleges as well as their stories, and I'm anxious to see the findings of pending Clery Act and Title IX violation investigations at many schools across the country.
