Ironically this is exactly what Jennifer needs. A friend with no strings attached.

Kazo

that is definitely a 'fuck, can't argue' face.

Wally Oruam

Dang, Billie got caught with the sneak attack.

DonnieRamesJio

Or, and hear me out, you could just talk to her.

C

That is really touching...though having just told Joyce about how friends can make out, this might go in directions.

Smoochie

Conversely, J: Are you sure you want me as a friend?

Dan Rabin

Just a teensy little lip-bite from Jennifer in that last panel. What is this "friendship" of which you speak, Joyce of Earth?

(Dot dash dash, dot, dot dash dot dot, dot dash dash dot)

Maude Reads Things

That meant a lot to Jennifer, Joyce. Continue. And yeah, look, Dorothy is the one who will make the compelling case study out of it.

Harold

Joyce: "Or, alternative plan! Step 1: Find out when Alice usually does her laundry..."

Aaron Treiber

I feel those two lines deep in my soul with a slightly different direction, as if at some point in my past I asked: 'So you gotta eat lunch with me for like forever?' I can't relate to the feeling of superiority well, but I've been shocked by friendship when I needed that zap.

Dan Rabin

'n' beep beep yeah

Andrea Andrew

Yes. Joyce is getting her friend back.

Rubia

Jennifer will remember that.

Omnithea

Without a thought to popularity.

Taffy

Woah, unconditional friendship with no expectations beyond being friends simultaneously? That's like, a human experience.

Grace Serenity

"Wait, that's just a THING that can happen!? Hold on, I'm gonna need to sit and process this for a minute..."

Starline Hodge

everyone falls in love with joyce lol

Grace Serenity

I mean, can you blame them? Look at that smile!

Grace Serenity

She set her own trap and got snared by it in a single move!

Genevieve

:eyes welling up:

Jennifer: So about that one-time sexual encounter

Sajuuk-Khar

It’s okay, it won’t happen. Joyce doesn’t have a car.

Katrina Marie Paton

Well I'd never entertained a Joyce/Jennifer ship before but if you'll just give me a moment I have a bottle of champaign to launch it with somewhere.

I really love the dynamic these two are falling into. Both came to College with these fairly rigid views on how the world works. The difference, I think, is that when adversity came to Joyce, she changed. Billie fought through a massive wave of depression with Ruth, who had been the person to kind of break her out of chasing popularity. As soon as Ruth breaks things off with Billie "For Real," Billie/Jennifer reverts back to chasing status, but finds no happiness in it. Also, I really enjoy Jennifer's face journey through this one. That last panel is adorable.

Luin

this feels very much from jennifers pov so its funny joe is Just Absent. says a lot

Julian Williams

This whole "being friends" thing confuses and enrages us!

Jasmijn Wellner

Didn't go too well last time. Jennifer should stay away from Alice, at least for a while, so Joyce's plan is actually not a bad thing.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

joyce: in fact i seem to recall you saying i'm your *best* college frie-- jennifer: we're not making out, joyce jennifer: ... jennifer: ...do you think it'd make alice jealous

Rich Holmes

She was just told she has no friends, and now she's told she has one, and she doesn't know which is more shocking.

Sumit

ohh no she is gonna throw up again

Donny K

That dastardly reality that to show you have friends you need to act like a friend.

Phil_M

Yes, I can blame them. I’m with Tony on this.

Phil_M

Of course, Joyce doesn’t know that if part 1 of her plan works, the actual consequence will be Alice deciding that she’s either misguided and in need of a warning (though she tried that once) or toxic and in need of a wide berth.

Phil_M

Last time Alice saw Jennifer with Joyce, she told Joyce (and Walky) that Jennifer was toxic and best avoided. But of course, that doesn’t fit Joyce’s worldview, so she’s deleted that memory. Joyce’s belief in the classic geek fallacy that friendship is transitive makes this far less clever a plan than she thinks.

Justin Seifert

I love it how even one of Jennifer's new friends questioned Jennifer's perception of her evolution as being more engaging with friends. The fact that she even rebuddled at all about Joyce's plan to actually be friends as an example shows that she really hasn't improved at her core.

Astariel

Or maybe it was just a very minor incident (to her) that got buried under a tidal wave of Evil Dad trauma.

Phil_M

Well no. You can’t force somebody to be your friend. The fact that the only people who currently want you be Jennifer’s friends are people she doesn’t actually want to be friends with (even if she does want the odd favour from them) is kind of tragic and messed up.

Justin Seifert

Indeed. Jennifer really is 'transactional' when it comes to her interactions and that is really not friend material.

Lyman Green

Didn’t seem minor to me even for Joyce, she’s paying attention. Still it’s obvious with Joyce we don’t always know how much she absorbs from the events

Dan Rabin

Joyce's previous meeting with Alice occurred on the day of the Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit, when Joyce was in terror of the consequences of being found out as said bandit. She may have been distracted.

Sajuuk-Khar

Alice sees them making out and does start talking to Joyce About how to get out of that relationship
