So in the special edition of Journal 3 we learn that Bill was actually able to go into Ford’s mind and manipulate his vocabulary, and I was just thinking to myself that there was some great angst potential right there. I guess this comic works under the assumption that Ford says the wrong things, but still hears the right ones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P.S. This is also meant to take place in the same Better World dimension as this comic, and might go some way to explain why the Stans never managed to make up in that timeline.
