Complicated memories...oh boy.

Rainfall

Oh. Oh no. :(

Sajuuk-Khar

“Can’t I have intense bisexual romance feelings without it descending into horror for like, five minutes?!”

MrShoggoth

Well this got complicated fast.

Harold

And now she's remembering the times she felt guilty over not being able to help Joyce when something terrible was happening to her. And, more than likely, she's going to start feeling guilty about *this*. About being here now. About what she's been thinking about. And - I hope I'm wrong about this, but I have a feeling I'm not - she's probably going to be gone when Joyce returns from her shower.

Laura

Horrific memories aside, it's very sweet (gay) that Dorothy remembers what Joyce was wearing during their watch party

Leon

I'd say the opposite happens. She won't leave. Joyce right now wants and says she needs her help. Dorothy's trauma and guilt in relation to not being able to protect Joyce in these terrible moments will likely cause her to focus on her more in this moment.

Dan Rabin

I like the way the evoking of the memories started in the previous strip and continues into the present strip without any new scene-setting. There's also a nice minor realistic detail of Dorothy working her way leftward in the closet as she pulls out different garments to consider.

Grace Serenity

Ooo, I didn't have traumatic breakdown on my bingo card!

Giant Speck

Has Dorothy been Anthony Michael Hall this entire time?!

SkittleE

It was simple before???

Andrea Andrew

Is that a 16 candles or breakfast club reference?

Andrea Andrew

I think we’re about to have a positive breakthrough.

Andrea Andrew

Was that the first time Joyce, Becky, and Dina were abducted?

Shane Wegner

Joyce was the children of Konoha all along!

Rainfall

My favorite part in the last panel (favorite sorta in quotes) is how I think Dorothy is holding an empty hanger, and remembering Joyce's kidnapping (she wasn't wearing a sweatervest), so even the empty hangers are traumatic.

Dan Rabin

Joyce was abducted; Dina followed. Becky was not abducted, but was brought to the scene later by Amazi-Girl. The scene depicted in panel 5 is the van with Joyce and Faz in it being driven off by Blaine.

The Aphro Chick

I just wanna know how three people managed to fit comfortably on a twin xl bed

Sajuuk-Khar

Meanwhile, in the shower room— Joyce: I don’t understand! This situation is total threesome bait, right?! Joe: Well, er, keep in mind that we’re all working from a place of, uh, pure theory, babe. Joyce: …You’ve never had one?! D8 …I find the fact endearing but also now we have no expert opinion between us, Joe!

Kelly (they-them)

Dorothy has a really good memory. Not because she can recall these mostly tragic events but she remembers what Joyce was wearing during each of them. I guess it helps when you have the clothing in front of you to jog your memory

Kelly (they-them)

I appreciate this comment. I was a little confused by the last panel. I was like, "Did Joyce's pajamas slip off the hanger? Who hangs their PJs??" Now the proper interpretation seems so obvious and I feel silly

Joey245

Ah, there's the other shoe

David M Willis

Also: Joyce no longer has the hoodie she wore that night, as it was used to drape over a dead Ross MacIntyre.

Harold

@Grace Kieser: It's Willis. Traumatic breakdown should *always* be on your bingo card.

Sumit

Damn, gimme more of those Dorothy feels. She's been my favorite since day 1. Love her to bits.

Smoochie

Does she sabotage Joyce’s willingness to go all the way during this date with Joe (sew doubt, that sort of thing) in the belief that she’s protecting Joyce but also guiltily wants to be Joyce’s first? If hypothetically she does do this, I can see Dorothy falling into a deeper self loathing.

Harold

@Packy Anderson: Down the back. But who cares - still the Louvre. (I don't expect too many here to recognize these as lyrics from a Lorde song - titled "The Louvre" - but I couldn't resist.)

Sajuuk-Khar

♪ Crushin’ on my bestie Can’t relax, not feelin’ good Next thing that you know I’m sobbin’ (AHUHUHUUUGH) ★ AND HALLUCINATING TOEDAD BLOOD?!? ☆♪

Rainfall

Oh, thank you! I didn't actually re-read the strip before assuming she hadn't had a sweatervest because everyone was in their PJs. But some of these HAVE been more hoodie-like. Makes total sense.

Astariel

Not sure where this is going, but I'm concerned.

David M Willis

(note that the "Also" there is important, as really it's an empty hanger that signals for Dorothy a Joyce Who Was Taken, but also that Joyce no longer has that hoodie doesn't help)
