Sarah, I thought you were allergic to drama

MrShoggoth

Is this affirmative thoughts in action? You believe in being something until it comes true? Cause I don’t think it’s working in this case.

HenryVolt

Still not good enough.

GPanda

I’m 100% Sarah in this strip

Logibear

Quick Dorothy, while they're distracted

Heatth

Nailed it!

The25th

Sarah is a liar. She always says that but is some how always involved in drama.

Heatth

That is why she is snipping it at the bud. She will not let Joyce continue the farce out.

C

Sarah's going to be looking down from Joyce from a full-ass Jojo's pose by the time this is over, lol.

“Good regular straight morning after a day where I did not repeatedly make out with Dorothy, Sarah!”

Grace Serenity

Joyce Brown: Professional Liar (very bad at her job)

The Aphro Chick

Didn't get to say I called Sarah being in the room yesterday so I'm gonna say it now. CALLED IT!!!

KittyKai

Don't worry Joyce. You're performing exactly to expectations xP

Harold

Holy SHIT, those Joyce faces. Hall of Fame all the way, especially panels 4 and 5.

EnterTheHero

Guess we’re telling Sarah before the boyfriends, lol

The Aphro Chick

Also Sarah's looking a-prooty good *strongbad voice*

@HenryVolt Oh, we're just getting started...

Joey245

The Joyce faces are great, but the Sarah faces here are also fantastic lol

AE Gonzalez

“Joyce, what did you do?” “Dorothy! I mean, nothing!”

Edwin I Callahan

I posted yesterday I wouldn’t know what to do for this strip. If I had come up with Joyce’s last panel expression I’d have felt pretty good about it.

@Minzoku Bokumetsu Both! #Superposition

Harold

[Dorothy tumbles out of bed, lands headfirst on floor]

Heatth

Also Sarah's. It is just a great panel all round.

MrShoggoth

I’m pretty sure that’s her drama anaphylactic reaction face.

Logibear

If the next strip is just Sarah doing the full on Boa Hancock Staredown for 5 Panels with Joyce just contorting her face like she ate a lemon, then I will be very happy

etherealDesign

yeah she was always gonna be the first to call her on her shit wasn't she. I'm so excited for the ensuing trainwreck

5099 5618 v2.0

@AE Gonzalez (/From just off-panel): "'Nothing'?!" "Good morning, Dorothy."

Heatth

Probably for the best. Leave the two together and they will just keep digging deeper to avoid the inevitable. Sarah might be able to center their heads. Or maybe force their hand. Either it is for the best.

Ria

"peak fiction" yeah yeah whatever, but have you considered the wealth of heretofore undiscovered joyce faces resulting from our full immersion in the #sickotimeline 👀👀👀

Smoochie

ゴゴゴゴ

Lazuli

sure, joyce

NinjaZaku

That was the exact wrong thing to say, Joyce.

Dan Rabin

Just one camera angle, one positioning of the actors, maybe a teensy bit of head-tilt, eyebrow, and mouth activity from Sarah, and a big facial-expression workout from Joyce. Two wordless panels, one of which is borderless as Joyce takes in the End of the Charade. The visuals reinforce Sarah's standing firm on reality as Joyce tries on several kinds of denial for size, finally realizing that she can't wear any of them out among the friends.

William Lewis

"Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different (wo)man Time may change me But I can't trace time" Hah, Willis, you keep making my Bowie fanboi show up...

Smoochie

I can’t but feel like Sarah is offering a piece of advice even this early into the convo. “You’re terrible at lying—you won’t possibly be able to hide this for long.”

GundamBradley

I am not one to moralize, or feel like these two deserve "punishment", but it is admittedly kind of fun seeing Joyce in the hot seat here. Like, for fuck's sake, fess up.

Simon Magid

Incredible! It is like seeing the Baron von Münchhausen in action! Surely no-one has ever been more convincing than Joyce, disaster bisexual mistress of deceit! O.O

5099 5618 v2.0

Does anyone remember the OceanGate submersible? There's audio recordings taken from inside the hull before its final voyage. You can hear individual carbon fibers snapping as the pressure increases. Dunno why, but that just came to mind.

Sajuuk-Khar

Joyce, just because on that episode of Dexter and Monkey Master, Dexter survives putting his entire foot into his esophagus doesn’t mean you should attempt it.

Sajuuk-Khar

Wow look at the fake fan over here

Packy Anderson

I think she realized that as soon as she said it.

Beck Chonigman

I feel like up to before they decided to do this "totally platonic not gay" cuddle sesh, they had a bit of ground to stand on. Like, if I were in Joe or Walky's shoes in this exact sitch, I wouldn't be mad at either of them until this happened. A kiss in the heat of a dangerous police riot of a peaceful protest, tensions are high, feelings are being realized in the face of grave injury or possible death; understandable. A kiss while endorphins are still high even after discussing a plan to address this complicated situation before going forward with anything bc they're both being so dang adorable and then break away quickly upon remembering they need to stop until things are sorted out? I get that. But doing this after all that planning bc you're having trouble addressing your bf with this? Personally, this is where I consider it cheating, bc this cuddle sesh was intentional. I'd def be mad about THAT.

Railway Series Book Club

Don't be silly, nobody'd ever put something into a cartoon that's not something they'd endorse doing in real life! That's why we all have to keep yelling about characters being stupid at protests and/or cheating on their boyfriends all the time forever now!

Shane Wegner

She is, she’s breaking out in frowns. Could be terminal (but not for her).

ArdieBea

Okay, I still don't see this as a Sarah-enraged face. Not even a Sarah-annoyed and frustrated. This is something else that I'm not sure we've seen before. The closest I can think of is here: book-12/03-trial-and-sarah/epiphany (April 8/2022) where she's saying, "I can't forsake other's feelings because yours are so precious..." I think this is the face of someone who's pretty clear, now, where her priorities lie, and it aint protecting Joyce at this point.

ArdieBea

Of course, having said that, I think she IS protecting Joyce (from digging herself ever deeper) by giving a reality check that comes from a place of real fondness.

Sajuuk-Khar

Sarah: Yare yare daze…Money can’t pay for what you owe, Joyce.

Jasmijn Wellner

I think it's a "i know you don't want to talk about this but we really should" face

Sajuuk-Khar

I still feel like they haven’t crossed like, a Morality Rubicon or anything (this could be due to personal/family experience) but I do think that after they spent the night in the same bed, it’s very reasonable for a rational, kind partner to be emotionally hurt. There’s a level of actual dishonesty now. It’s not what I would call “gleeful cheating” or “asshole” behavior like some folks mainsite have been hooting and hollering about, but it’s less innocent.

Sajuuk-Khar

Sarah wants to be at bare minimum in the loop, you guys, she has to live here

Ze Myna

i love the pink lighting in this so very much. the scene lighting level up is felt

Beck Chonigman

No, you're right. Not "gleefully" cheating. But it's a very intimate behavior that's done with a level of intention to it and, like you just said, also a level of dishonesty. Like, I wouldn't be very mad at it, just a disappointed level of mad... maybe not mad but upset. It's definitely in that grey area. It COULD be considered a level of cheating, even if not by much, or it could still be in a person's leeway. Though I can't imagine not being at least a little hurt at how it played out. Like, doing that RIGHT after failing to disclose the situation. Don't know about other people but I'd personally consider the "sexual acts to those you're wronging out of guilt" worse. An apology doesn't really mean anything if the person it's aimed towards doesn't know the apology is happening.

Grace Serenity

That look says "You want to rethink that last statement, Joyce?"

Tessea

Guilt-trip face. "You know you did a bad. Now explain how it's not going to suck me into your new drama."

Kyle

My laughter is an ugly, strangled thing.

Ben Wray

Border to border ten solid gravatars for the main comment section, huh?

Ilana Feldman

Joyce really did say "How do you do, fellow straight?" in panel 1.

Heatth

I fully agree, Beck, and I think this is why the storyline is actually interesting. If after the kiss Joyce and Dorothy had cleanly broken with their boyfriends on the same day with no delay, it would still be technically cheating but frankly it barely would count in my view. It is not different from what Jacob did way back when. A mistake that is made right immediately. But this delay, with Joyce going as far as "progressing" her relationship with Joe while fully intending on dumping him and kissing Dorothy in the meanwhile? That is a lot more serious cheating. Doroth avoiding Walky is not as bad but still pushes from "decision made in the heat of the moment" to "calculated move". They are for real cheating now. That is a story about them cheating. And the fact that they are sympathetic characters, who aren't gleefully scheming how to fool their idiot boyfriends for as long as possible (no matter what some commenters pretend that is what they are doing) but are instead guilty ridden and afraid of the consequences is what make it a fun conflicting narrative. Joyce and Dorothy are in the wrong for what they are doing. But they are still not monsters, that is what the story is about.

Donny K

Joyce there are some talents neither a God nor the universe will ever allow you and this is like the biggest one :C

Heatth

You know, looking at this first panel it is somewhat lucky Joyce didn't figure out she was queer before going to college. She wouldn't be able to consciously stay in the closet even if her life depended on it.

Uniquitous

Yes Ms. Brown, there's a piper at the door demanding remuneration

Uniquitous

Careful SK, you might be drifting towards Paladin territory!

Uniquitous

Actions speak louder than words and those two are screaming.

Uniquitous

I guess an accident necessitating a hospital stay would make a decent distraction!
