SHE KNOWS

Andrea Andrew

To be fair, Joyce’s game is very coolsville

Grace Serenity

"Look, we didn't INTEND to fall in love.... It just kinda happened!"

Giant Speck

Turns out she's been standing there the entire night.

Megh

I've been here the whole time!

AE Gonzalez

At this point, going to a Coldplay concert would be less subtle.

KittyKai

OH BOY HERE WE GO 🫠🫠🫠

Grace Serenity

Puh-shaw, I say! She's TOTALLY coolsville!

Justin Seifert

I actually am going to enjoy the scolding she's going to get from her considering that she's actually giving Joe a real chance. Part of me is still also upset that a polyamorous type of situation where they can still date their boyfriends was not even remotely considered as a possible option.

Heatth

Hopefully they will actually talk now. The more the review is delayed the worse is the problem. If talking with the boyfriends is too hard, talking to the harsh but fair big sister might help to give a push.

Railway Series Book Club

I can't believe Dorothy thinks coolsville sucks!!! worst character of all time

Smoochie

That is the most Sarah-faced Sarah of all time.

Michael Flannagan

I just for the first time realized Sarah's bed is lofted, too. So she could clearly see them all night.

Crunchos cereal

I think it’s a good thing Sarah has reconsidered her attitude to teenage drama a bit lately.

Megh

Best be changin yer profile picture to a better character, like Other Rachel, or Fuckface

Heatth

Also, I still find very funny they couldn't hide from Sarah for a single minute. Really, they could have woken up together and get out of bed while hugging and it wouldn't be suspicious. It is the constant whispering that make it obvious.

Morgan Byrd

Sarah is no longer smiling

Harold

Dorothy climbs down, only to find Becky standing across from Sarah with *her* arms folded. "Good morning, Dotty."

(/smoke bomb) (/Stands still too long) (/Sarah's still there, and somehow hasn't blinked) ... (/Runs)

C

Oh boy, this is bound to be awkward.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Minzoku Bokumetsu Probably. Not like she could sleep, with all the noise.

MrShoggoth

Welp, Joyce, you’ve got the attention of the Big Sister(tm). I’m sure this’ll turn out swimmingly.

darklion

not sure what you mean

Leon

This is different from the preview panel of August 8th. Interesting. I like these faces better.

voyager-ngc5195

Quick Joyce! Confess your love for Sarah! Let's make this situation even more awkward and complicated!

Megh

that's so crazy it just might work!

Railway Series Book Club

i'm gonna change it to President Doris, she'd never steer me wrong like Dorothy would

David M Willis

(preview panel dates will increasingly not mean much)

Harold

"Ye best start believin' in Coolsville, Miss Keener - yer in it!"

Heatth

Honestly, I don't blame them for not even considering polyamory. First, neither of them have ever been in polyamorous relationship, so the concept is not intuitive to them. They do know a triad, but it is not like they are close to them (Dorothy was Sierra's roommate, but they never seem to hang out otherwise). More importantly though, for both of them their reaction to the boyfriend dating the other was of great jealously. I am not experienced in polyamory myself, but that seems like a really poor foundation. Neither Joyce nor Dorothy seem to want to share.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Olivia Cheatham And so dawns the Day of the Paladins.

Lazuli

"play it cool" and hows that going for ya

Dan Rabin

As with the recent strip in which Asher appears in a widened last panel, this strip maintains the same camera angle and frame for four panels before widening the frame to show Sarah. The wide panel has no border, suggesting that it's sort of a reverse scene-setter, summarizing the situation before moving the narrative onward. Other commenters suggest that Sarah has been standing there all night, but perhaps she's just on her way back from opening the curtains, which may have woken them.

Justin Seifert

And Dorothy has never been into a lesbian relationship. Technically, relationships are new to Joyce as well. I think Joyce would be more willing to share than maybe Dorothy. But for multiple reasons, it just makes me irked that that conversation didn't even happen.

Lazuli

lets see how it goes!

5099 5618 v2.0

@voyager-ng5195 "When in doubt, escalate!"

William Lewis

Time to face the music, Joyce. Life always has consequences. But, remember, it's the moments like "teensy bit" that make dealing with life's consequences worth it.

5099 5618 v2.0

@William Lewis "When forced to face the music, dance!"

William Lewis

Oh, no way she's been standing there all night. May even have simply gotten back from Tony's, or but even if she slept there too on arriving or waking she's become all that much more annoyed that they were both still there.

Heatth

Sarah is too sensible to stay up all night just for the sake of a jumpscare. She avoid hijinks, she doesn't create them. She just woke up early.

Smoochie

You make an interesting point. I think both Joyce and Dorothy would—MAYBE be willing to share themselves potentially but easily recognize they’d be unable to share each other, especially to respective boyfriends. Joyce finally recontextualizing her rivalry with Walky was over Dorothy the whole time, and Dorothy’s whole ‘you did nothing and got everything’ to Joe speaks for itself. So rather than swim in hypocrisy or challenge a new and wonderful thing, it’s all aboard the S.S. Monogamy.

GundamBradley

I wonder if they slept in, or if Sarah got up early/did not sleep. Also, my prediction the two likely ditched their pants is shaking out it seems. Cute undies.

William Lewis

Heh! Made me think of Bowie yet again, though. "Let's Dance" but that's a better song for with Dorothy than annoyed Sarah 😈"Let's sway - Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight"

Heatth

I wasn't saying it was impossible to them, only that it wasn't intuitive. That just still not a thing most people consider, and they have extra reason to not want to consider. I imagine this might come up this storyline, but I think it is very natural it is not on the forefront of their minds.

5099 5618 v2.0

(/Dorothy adds Edith Piaf to the playlist, wonders if this will prompt Joyce to learn French)

5099 5618 v2.0

@Harold So, Dr. Doom recently got all the way to the altar before his fianceé announced she couldn't marry him because she'd been cheating on him with the Human Torch. The reaction panels cycled through several other characters before coming to Namor who had been laughing so loud and hard it was visible behind all of their heads in the previous few panels. I'd like to believe that's how Becky will react to this. Failing that, I suspect it's how *someone* will react to this.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Heatth Also they're already putting out nuclear fusion levels of NRE. Full-on prompt supercritical situation, there. I'm not sure anyone would survive being too close to it, at least until things settle out a bit.

Maude Reads Things

*drama goblin activates* HERE! WE! GO! (I thought it might amuse my fellow 12 year olds to know I originally typed 'ho' XD)

Irene Knapp

yeah, I agree with Heatth. poly is nice and all but Joyce and Dorothy both clearly have feelings such that, like... they're definitely going to want to be focused just on each other, at least for a while.

Wednesday Sophia

huh, i wonder what sarah wants to talk about so early in the morning

DiDi-chan

I will reserve my full excitement until things are clearer... *vibrates in anticipation.*

Shane Wegner

“Your choices are making me complicit in something I don’t consent to be involved in”

Sajuuk-Khar

Break up with her IMMEDIATELY, find a BETTER girlfriend to cheat on Joe with

Sajuuk-Khar

“Joyce, why is my entire social situation in a box reading DEAD DOVE - DO NOT EAT in the fridge?”

Brian Danger Hicks

I can excuse cheating on Joe, but I draw the line at putting Sarah into a situation where she has to defend Joe.

Ria

Wishing I had the "side by side with a friend" legolas and gimli meme but about sickos and pallies We are all about to FEAST on the scrumptious consequences

C

Joyce: *proceeds to do the most awkward finger guns in history, as Dorothy cringes internally*

Grace Serenity

Dina and Carla are the only ones with a non-standard bed

Ali Youngman

That is a REALLY good way of stating that and I’m actually going to save it on my phone in the rare event I ever need to state it.

Ali Youngman

…. What does this mean????

Logibear

She's wanting to affirm Joyce with warmth and positivity before she sets off for the day?

Logibear

"... are you just looking at things in the room and saying you love them?" "...uh I love Dorothy? Crap!"

Tessea

Looks like Sarah has finally gotten in gear for the 'Keeping Them Honest' job. Normally I think Sarah would just ignore it all (unless they were keeping her up) But she's come to care about Joyce and I doubt she wants to see her potentially send her social life up in flames.

Sajuuk-Khar

YOU CAN EXCUSE CHEATING ON JOE? I SUMMON EXODIA THE PARAGRAPH—

George Simpson

I assume a few strips are occasionally added/removed from the buffer for creative reasons?

NinjaZaku

Oh Sarah is not having it with these shenanigans. Brace yourselves.

Jasmijn Wellner

Stay perfectly still, Joyce. Sarah's vision is based on movement

Alexandra Falk

At last, Sarah has a wakeup-time reversal to play against the Joyce Smile Alarm Clock. If only the situation weren't so fraught.

HenryVolt

On one hand shit will blow up the longer they keep this little affair secret...But on the other hand I don't see Sarah caring that much about Joe and Walky feelings, I feel like those are her two least favorite people who she doesn't flat out hate.

Dan Rabin

I think Sarah is thinking many things, not all of which have to be spoken aloud, not all of which entail action on her part. The strip Astariel cites is from before Sarah accepted Joe as changed; she was also trying to Protect Joyce, but she may have changed her acceptance of that responsibility as well.

Dan Rabin

What, in your view, should Sarah do, and in the service of whose interests?

Dan Rabin

Brian Danger Hicks: does Sarah actually have any obligations in this situation? She probably doesn't want to live inside a soap opera, but she knew the job was dangerous when she signed the contract with Willis.

Grace Serenity

The opposite of a Joyce Smile (tm) is the Sarah Scowl (tm)

Katrina Marie Paton

Can't say I agree. After their last interaction I think Sarah may actually give a damn about Joe's feelings by a degree that is larger than zero percent. I could be wrong and probably am, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Heatth

Even if she doesn't care, Sarah is still a very no nonsense person. I doubt she would, like, go behind Joyce's back and tell Joe or Walky, but I do expect her to scold Joyce to end this farce as soon as possible.

Naff

For someone so fond of Coolsville, Joyce has clearly never visited.

Joey245

Huh...Joyce and Dorothy slept under the weighted blanket? I always get muscle aches whenever I do that...maybe I toss and turn and fight the weight too much in my sleep :| Also, Joyce butt is best butt

Heatth

I am trying to sort out why I don't think polyamory is really on the cards (at least in the immediate future), so I will going to write it out how my thinking step by step. First, some people propose polyamory as a panacea for the relationship trouble. That feels wrong to me because it is just boring. Feels silly to have a cheating plot if everyone just immediately forgive each other and all kiss. Also, it feels wrong for Joe's character, who take infidelity seriously. On the other hand, some propose polyamory not as a solution but as instrument for further drama. Not all polyamory works after all. That is a lot more appealing to me on a narrative level, I can see this as a path the story takes. However, this lead the the problem of who would propose such arrangement. If either Joyce or Dorothy do so, I expect they would have to imagine reciprocity, so a relationship involving all 4. The issue is that both have shown to be very jealous of the other. Joyce never liked Walky's relationship with Dorothy and Dorothy pretty much had a slow meltdown once Joe started dating Joyce. I don't see either being comfortable with sharing the other and doubly so with Joe and Walky in particular. So I don't think either would propose a relationship that involves sharing the other and I don't think either would be so brazen as to propose one where just one had an extra boyfriend and the other does not. But if the idea came from one or both boyfriends maybe they would accept, even if reluctantly? I don't think Joe would, because I honestly expect him to be the most hurt, because of his own hung ups regarding cheating. I think he would be the most for it otherwise, but right now seems unlikely to me. Walky though, that is very possible. If I remember right he have (jokingly?) floated the idea once. I find unlikely it would work out, due to Joyce's jealously and the non-ideal start, but I guess that is an avenue. So, that is where I am now I think. If polyamory happens I think the idea will come from Walky and it won't work out in the long run. Either way, I imagine the concept will be brought up regardless, if only to shoot it down.

Heatth

I don't think so. We don't see the blanket this panel nor in the last scene where they were cuddling. I think Joyce's arm is sore because Dorothy slept over it the whole night.

Uniquitous

And now the bill comes due.

Packy Anderson

"Joyce, I don't care that you're cheating on Joe, but you trying to hide your cheating on Joe KEPT ME AWAKE ALL NIGHT."

The Deliberate Myth

I don't think Sarah is a full blown relationship paladin about this yet. I mean, she definitely wont approve of the cheating part of all this, but I am just not convinced that Sarah is going to read them the riot act about the cheating part. If Sarah is/was paladin and genuinely pissed at their behavior, I feel like she would have said something the MOMENT she realized what's happening. She would not have waited until the morning to say anything. This feels more like "handle this however you want, but this is your mess to deal with. Don't make this my problem."

zee

I absolutely think Joyce is that brazen but we'll see

zee

I mean Sarah and Joe are pretty friendly by this point, the gym sesh felt like friends territory. I think to the least she's gonna be very annoyed by the drama this will bring to her room and the friend group, even if she weren't particularly close to the boys

zee

Ik its just the framework we've been working in but it feels a little weird and annoying to use the relationship paladin label here to describe Sarah caring about this. Like if I were in her position id probably cuss my friends tf out and let them know they can come clean or I'll be doing it for them. Bc wtf are you doing, im friends with at least one of these guys, im not keeping any fucked up secrets for you, this is gonna cause a shit ton of drama in the group and people are probably gonna leave. Like its a pretty rational thing to be pissed about this happening in your real life

KittyKai

Nah, I HOPE Sarah is the voice of "GET YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TOGETHER YOU HORNY IDIOTS" I fucking love these horny idiots together, and I love how incompetent they are at hiding this shit, but they very much need a bonk to the head, and Sarah is very much best suited to be that bonk xP

Harold

Joyce and Dorothy Go to Horny Jail: A Delayed Dumbing of Age Pornographique

Harold

@darklion: It's a deep callback to a very early strip, I think (I do not have time to look for it at the moment) - Sarah's in the cafeteria, saying (to herself) that if there's one thing she doesn't need in her life, it's teenage relationship drama; cue Joyce, Walky, et al. plopping themselves at her table.

Donny K

Get her ass Sarah <3

zee

Tbf it was late and DoJo were both visibly exhausted, a cussing wouldn't stick and I think she knows you gotta pick your timing

Harold

@Donny Kershaw: Well, shucks, that would just complicate things even *more*, wouldn't it?

Harold

@QueenOfSodor: Right now the image should probably be cross-eyed President Doris under the remains of the loft bed after Moe sat on it, from that bonus strip

Railway Series Book Club

you cannot suggest this to me after i just spent an hour in photoshop colorizing the president doris pic i was already using. like you're right but i just spent too much time on this to change it already :sob: (but also when i picked this one to begin with it was bc i figured it probably wouldn't be Morally Right(tm) to use a bonus strip panel for a pfp, otherwise i'd have used Thinking Doris from that other bonus strip)

5099 5618 v2.0

@Harold I wonder if they'd get the same cell, in horny jail. I mean...that *would* kind of defeat the purpose. Assuming the purpose wasn't to pressurize the two of them into further trauma bonding. (Next: Joyce's fanfic includes a chapter where they have to break out of an alien Gulag, but not before acknowledging and acting on their feelings for each other...)

Harold

@5099 5618, Earth 80085: "Ohhh, President Doris... I don't think there are any Electoral College votes in *there*..."

zee

That's so close to being a joke from the new gumball series ("the plan was actually to frame both of us for destruction of property so we'd be thrown in solidarity confinement and be together forever". Paraphrased from memory, not exact quote)

Ilana Feldman

There was an August 8 preview panel?

ArdieBea

You know, that is a long way from the frowniest Sarah face we've ever seen.

Rob McBobson

Thankee kindly! I'll use this as my motivation to finally start reading that run. I've been planning to for years.

5099 5618 v2.0

@zee They...they're making more Gumball? Oh, man. Nature is healing...

Oh buddy...there's a whole new 20 episodes out King of the hill is back too

etherealDesign

I've been waiting for sarah's reaction to Joyce Finally Being Gay for almost as long as I've waited for Joyce to figure out she's gay. lets fucking gooooo

AE Gonzalez

It’s Joyce’s bed, so she has an excuse to be in her underwear. Now, Dorothy coming down in her underwear . . .

AE Gonzalez

If Sarah “knows” because The Kiss was recorded and is going viral: She won’t tell Joe and Walky, but she’ll give them the heads up: you need to tell them now, or they *will* find out very soon.

Tessea

Joyce: I don't want no consequence, consequence, consequence. Consequences for my actions, chasing me right now!

Edwin I Callahan

I’m glad Willis is writing Sarah’s dialogue in the next strip. I have no idea how to approach it; there’s just so many ways it could go. It could be a good chuckle; it could be a train wreck that sinks the strip. And I don’t know if I could tell which was which.

Mariah

what she wanted was dorothy to get with joyce before joe did. I don't think she wanted joyce and dorothy to be dating behind jos back. Though I don't think she is all moral relationship paladin about this as much as she just wants to avoid drama.

Astariel

@Mariah This was two days after Joyce & Joe got together. Sarah may not have wanted them to date behind Joe's back, but she definitely wanted Dorothy to break up Joe/Joyce. There's also her older plan of using Joyce to break up Jacob & Raidah to consider. She really doesn't have the moral high ground to lecture about infidelity.

5099 5618 v2.0

@AE Gonzalez In fairness, it might be more of an immediate problem if she wasn't.

Sajuuk-Khar

Sarah: Joyce. I have to ask you one thing: why now? Why not two weeks ago? Two weeks ago if you’d told me “hey I’m gonna snap Joe’s heart in half” I would’ve been like “oh kick ass, get me popcorn!” But noooo! You had to get me LIKING the motherfucker! You had to recalibrate my whole social identity! Now this is a problem and I hate problems!!!

Sajuuk-Khar

“YOU COULD HAVE DONE THIS WEEKS AGO! WHEN IT WAS FUNNY TO ME, AND NOT AWKWARD!!”

Sajuuk-Khar

Zee you are correct and I am rolling my eyes constantly at the idea Sarah is giving any kind of a shit for big moral paladin-y reasons. That’s not who she is, that’s not what she’s about. Sarah gives a shit because this is a gigantic drama bomb and she haaaaaaaaates drama with her life.

Packy Anderson

I don't think Sarah knows anything that Joyce isn't giving away through her actions.
