Cue tomorrow’s strip cutting to another storyline

Rob McBobson

That depressing moment when you remember that other people, too, can ride elevators

Jay Bee

damn you willis

Sajuuk-Khar

Jocelyne knows her creator, and his cruelty

Populuxe

Shoulda been Dina eating cereal.

Sajuuk-Khar

It turns out that Sarah is waiting for an old classmate, Joss Eleyne, to return, and that’s the meat of the storyline We cut back in three months to Joyce dropping a casual remark about “my DUMB sister has BOOBS now”

Harold

Somehow ... Other Rachel returned

Dan Rabin

What a superb strip! Jocelyne rising when she thinks it might be Joyce on the elevator is perhaps an ordinary indicator of her tension, but the clenched fist, and its relaxation when Other Rachel is revealed, is an intense indicator of what the suspenseful wait is doing to her. I'm trying to imagine internal dialogue that Willis could have given Jocelyne in this strip, and I just can't think of anything that would have even half the impact.

Sajuuk-Khar

Hey, wait a minute, wise guy!

Harold

The next week's worth of strips are going to be a series of minor characters getting off the elevator, one ding at a time. Hey, Grace! Nice to see you, Agatha! Fuck off, Mary!

Jeremy AR

Willis is now trolling the characters and the audience at the same time. Nobody does it like him.

Harold

@Sajuuk-Khar: I'm a victim of soicumstance!

Jeremy AR

Jocelyne doesn't know who Mary is but fell the instinctual need to tell her to fuck off. It's the weirdest thing.

Harold

@Jeremy AR: Pavlov's Bradford

Harold

@Andrea Andrew: He/they, per Willis's Twitter (I refuse to use the other name).

Rob McBobson

Willis's Twitterx account says that he uses he/they pronouns.

Jeremy AR

I didn't actually know that!

Rob McBobson

Harold: It's like I saw somebody say online a while back; Twitter is the only thing it's okay to deadname.

Shane Wegner

Thanos: “I don’t even know who you are.”

Harold

One of my favorite DoA gags was Ruth mentioning having given her a birthday cake that *had "Other Rachel" written in frosting*

Diane

Does Jocelyne even know Joyce has glasses? Eh, probably, she might follow her insta, saw her dranks. ...wait did she wear the glasses once inside... I don't think so. Have patience Jocelyne. And also look toward the stairs, cause if Other Rachel stole the elevator, they might have chosen stairs.

Fart Captor

Oh god I know that terrified feeling so well. Even if you're 1,000% sure the person you're about to come out to is gonna be cool about it, it's scary because can change things between you and you can't know what ways or how and there's a big difference been tolerance, acceptance, and support

E

DAMN YOU WILLIS

E

Rob, That’s not true: xfinity is still Comcast in my book

Fart Captor

Other Rachel: "Joyce, did you get taller?"

Brian Danger Hicks

Me, yesterday: Boy, it sure would be cruel if after Willis made the wait for the next strip extra long he didn't even have the big reveal in the next strip. Ah but of course he wouldn't do that.

Maude Reads Things

Awww, Jocelyn. I'm sure it'll be okay. Joyce might go overboard but she'll mean well

Brian Danger Hicks

Joyce: "Wait, this is your big thing? I thought it was just going to be that Mom and Dad got divorced." Jocelyne: "Mom and Dad got divorced!?"

Jey Siksa

Never have i hated a character so much and it wasn't their fault

SkittleE

Somehow Joyce walks up behind Jocelyne next strip

Cyberfossil

I've just realized that thanks to Carla, Jocelyne won't be the first trans person that Joyce knows.

Dan Rabin

And thanks to Ethan, Joyce thinks she should treat a trans woman as a sister.

Dan Rabin

Nice joke construction, but IMHO unlikely.

Ragtime

Drags her to a floor meeting

Ragtime

I reckon that given what we know about the Brown family dynamics and that Hank evidently is aware of Jocelyn I think Hank probably is staying with her since the house sold.

Packy Anderson

*blink*blink* What Willis are you thinking of? Of course he would do that! Why do you think the phrase "Damn you Willis!" was invented?

Kelly (they-them)

I'm still so pissed that Carol got the house AND the dog in the divorce

Rob McBobson

Wait, "xfinitity" is just Comcast with a different name? Man, as a European I find it so difficult to keep track of that kind of thing... This is like when I found out that West Virginia was its own state.

Harold

@Kelly (they-them): Damn you, Willis Tower!

Brian Danger Hicks

Yeah in retrospect I have no idea why I thought that

Andrea Andrew

Technically, she knew Jocelyn before Carla, but I get what you’re saying.

Andrea Andrew

As we’ve just seen this week, bad people get rewarded in this world.

Eric Barkman

Just wait, we're going to have a series of strips, every one identical to this one except for a different character getting off the elevator until we've gone through the entire population of the dorm.

Jasmijn Wellner

She also knows Booster, although I'm not sure she understands how being transgender and being nonbinary relate to each other

Jasmijn Wellner

"Damn you Willis" wasn't invented, it was a primeval scream etched in our collective subconsciousness.

Jasmijn Wellner

I don't think Jocelyne had that (or needs it)

Uniquitous

She didn't have for fuck's sake?

Sumit

hahaha

Harold

@Uniquitous: I had to look this up, but Jasmijn is engaging in a little creative wordplay - FFS is also an abbreviation for "facial feminization surgery," a gender-affirming procedure.

Dan Rabin

Rob McBobson: fixed, thanks.

Andrea Andrew

Joyce: excuse me, miss. I’m looking for my brother, Josh.

Uniquitous

Oh wow, okay that makes sense. Thanks for doing the legwork on that!

Harold

@Uniquitous: You're welcome! FFS is also the title of a 2015 collaboration between the bands Franz Ferdinand and Sparks, but I'm pretty sure Jasmijn was referring to the surgery.

Jasmijn Wellner

Yeah it was the surgery I was referring to ;)
