Technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Smoochie

That’s right Joyce, stick it to the man! …Who coincidentally stuck it to your mom to birth you and your sister—I’m mixing metaphors here. Sorry guys.

Andrea Andrew

Oh no. I guess thank goodness for Jocelyn that she wasn’t betrayed by Joyce, twice.

The25th

I love “technically the truth”

Maybeeus

Oh it's going badly fast.

Diane

So no, hasn't told dad. Or dad is being careful since not sure if Joyce knows.

Ragtime

Final sinking of my pet theory that Hank was living with Joycelyn. Wonder where he is then, maybe we'll finally get some insight into Jordan's life/face and mystery occupation.

Corronchilejano

Damn Hank, Jonathan has a very notorious five o clock.

The25th

Also earlier after the semester skip I thought there were hints Hank knew Jocelyne transitioned but I guess not. Or he is on his way down the parents list

Harold

@Diane: Much, much more likely the former.

Diane

Oh, definitely agree. Joyce was the family test.

Kelly (they-them)

Is that Asma behind Jocelyn? Or is that some unknown hijabi? I don't think it looks like her, but I can't tell at that resolution

Harold

Is that our friend Asma standing next to Jocelyne? We know she's got the weekend off from the front desk, and that it was pretty obviously for this.

Dan Rabin

[Correction: when I wrote this I was sure that I remembered Jocelyne saying she had told Hank, but now I can't find that in the comic.] Jocelyne was worried that Joyce would find out about her transition from Hank, so it's been implied that she was already out to Hank. For at least today I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume some combination of 1. he's just not used to the change yet and 2. he doesn't know whether Joyce knows yet. If he persists, there's a problem, and the benefit of the doubt expires. Anyhow, I think the moral center of this strip is Joyce's immediate support for Jocelyne. She may be relieved to have found a way not to correct or confront Hank (or lie), but that's an issue for later, and this is now.

Kelly (they-them)

Or has told dad and Hank has mistaken his oldest daughter for Jordan

Maybeeus

I am fiending for Jordan information and i'm afraid that i'll be waiting for another decade but a part of my growing hope is that Jordan appears this arc and Jocelyne returning this book was foreshadowing it but it's still a very dim hope.

Megh

My tinfoil hat theory is that Jordan is fucking dead

Tsa

Investigators hate her! Protect your sister's anonymity with this 1 weird trick!

Dan Rabin

As in pining for the fjords, or as in necrophiliac?

Shane Wegner

We’ve been trained by the comic that many parents are evil ne’er-do-wells, but it’s hypothetically possible Hank wanted to send some kind of help or aid for his child too, which Joyce would now be preventing.

Inquiring Raven

I do live this impulse decision by Joyce. It shows where her heart lies so very clearly. 👏👏👏

Madeline Dingeldein

Or has told Dad and Dad is still thinking of Jocelyn as a son/brother. The information would be fairly new and speaking from personal experience, evangelical parents can have a hard time making the adjustment.

Grace Serenity

"Wow, she does look very similar to him, but that's clearly a woman."

Astariel

Oh, Hank. I hope that misgendering is a mistake or being cautious about whether Joyce knows, but it sadly wouldn't surprise me if having a trans child is a bridge too far for him, even after supporting Becky. Interesting that Joss seems to be back to boy mode for the protest.

Madeline Dingeldein

I came out to my parents about five years ago. Want to guess how often they still call me their son?

Astariel

I feel your pain on that. I'm only out to my mom so far. When I came out she told me she was totally supportive, but she still refers to me as a man at every opportunity. *Sigh*

Girlycore

Even if that's what he wanted, it's good practice not to admit on a phone that you or someone you love was at a protest.

MrShoggoth

I'm really sorry that keeps happening.

MrShoggoth

Funny story time. When my oldest friend (online, penpals for 20+ years) came out to me it was a complete shock, mostly because she casually dropped it in the middle of a conversation about a writing project I was doing. I was upset for a minute because she'd transitioned two years before telling me - her excuse was that she "forgot to mention it" - but also because I'd been calling her "dude" all that time without knowing. She told me it was fine when she stopped laughing at me.

Dan Rabin

Thanks you, Tcurt99!

Onyx

I WAS THINKING THE SAME!

Harold

Update: Asma isn't tagged on the main site, so it apparently isn't her.
