NOOO SARAH THE KNIGHT IS GOING TO GET YOU SARAHHH

Logibear

Absolutely in love with Joyce following her in circles for support.

David M Willis

in... two? storylines...? she gets an icon finally?

Edwin I Callahan

Dorothy, Dorothy. Leadership does not come from running in circles, even if you’re texting at the same time.

Astariel

Hmm, guess Sal really did hide it in her room.

HenryVolt

Maybe Walky can channel his sisters ability to climb windows and do something?

David M Willis

in this strip the panels are too narrow and it's unnecessary for legibility to fit in icons though, so

Kelly (they-them)

Surprise: Malaya threw has already thrown away the costume. Not to protect Amber, but to spite Sal. The cops will be too busy eating donuts to check the trash chute. No worries there

Railway Series Book Club

exactly, it's only leadership if kisses joyce while she's running around in circles and texting

Harold

I'm assuming that Malaya is not part of the text group. Which appears to be decidedly inconvenient at the moment, considering that they're Sal's roommate.

Sajuuk-Khar

I don’t mean to Run around in circles Run around in circles Run around in circles Run arooooouuuunnnnddd

Logibear

It's being used as the poop tray liner for Fuckface.

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Fuckface ate it like Quincy eating Paige's sweaters

Fart Captor

I mean we didn't need to SEE it to know it would be the same green as her hat

Maude Reads Things

Oh fuck shit. I forgot Sal had her costume. GodDAMMIT. That could be very very very bad. If Sal gets caught with that, she is FUCKED. On a cheerier note, I LOVE Amber's sleep pants!

Fart Captor

This is why you should build a remote self-destruct system into your costume

Railway Series Book Club

i mean its a paler color than her hat but like. yeah it makes sense for it to be this color you never know though, it's like how becky's texting ui is teal

Fart Captor

On the bright side, Jennifer will feel SO vindicated

Maude Reads Things

Oh god, thank you. I laughed out loud at that. Never fails to crack me up that Jennifer still thinks that. I hope she NEVER finds out and accepts the truth.

Fart Captor

She could literally see Amber in the costume and take her mask off and she would assume it was cosplay

Kelly (they-them)

I thought we had already seen Dina's texting color, but maybe I'm thinking of the thought bubbles in the Dina arc. You would definitely know better than I would given that you keep a spreadsheet

Packy Anderson

❝no, sal isn't gonna spell out "ah" for "i" in her texts❞ Of course not: she says it correctly, it's everyone else who's saying it wrong. "ah" is how the word "I" is pronounced.

Railway Series Book Club

yeah that's probably what you're thinking of, a lot of thought bubbles and stuff from that early on are inconsistent with the texting ui established in book 6 or so? like, ruth thinks in sort of a grayish-green in book 3/4 and then texts in an icy-blue later on and even then sometimes the texting ui colors change ever-so-slightly, because yknow, why not (i mean its not like the spreadsheet is an exact science anyway since at the resolution these strips are posted at its basically impossible to get a reliable eyedrop of the border color but still)

Packy Anderson

I don't think this is a text group. I think this is them running down the list of people whose numbers they know.

Packy Anderson

He'd have to be wearing seaweed as a wig.

Dan Rabin

"In circles" makes it hard to discern who's following whom.

Tessea

They do not perform well under pressure. Also, going forward the ringtone on Joyce's phone for 'Cinnamon Bun, Perfect' shall be You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead Or Alive

Irene Knapp

well shit. sorry, Sal. looks like Amber isn't going to be the only one on the run for a while :/

Shane Wegner

Maybe Dorothy could have dipped into her Fuckin’ Joyce Time by 5-10 minutes to handle this for her injured friend before it became an emergency.

Gwen R

I hope she's the one who has to retrieve it. Problem solver.

Harold

@Minzoku Bokumetsu: Took me a second to remember that you're referencing the comic strip FOX TROT, and I briefly pictured Jack Klugman as QUINCY, M.E. eating a sweater

Jeremy AR

Handle what exactly?

Waifu Purplebutt

They're not looking for Amazi-Girl, they're looking for the front-page lesbians

Rob McBobson

That thought struck me too. I wonder how long it's going to take before we get more info about their specific motive. Good thing I got one of those super long video games for Christmas; I'll need something to spend my time with in the meantime...

The Deliberate Myth

A Soul Coughing reference? In the wild? My heart grew three sizes that day. Bless

Harold

@Jeremy AR: I'm as baffled as you are by that comment. Some people just need to blame Dorothy for *everything*, I guess. Hey, maybe she tipped off the cops, too!

Ilana Feldman

I mean, they specified they were checking closets, but maybe they meant it metaphorically.

Packy Anderson

Clearly, if Dorothy had stopped sexing Joyce for 5-10 minutes, she would have been able to predict the future and know the cops were going to raid the dorm! Clearly, it's all her fault for not prioritizing clairvoyance over romance.

Harold

@Packy Anderson: Post-nut clairvoyanceity

Rob McBobson

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Shane Wegner

1- @Astariel If Dorothy believed everything was handled, she wouldn’t be texting everyone now to fix things. She’s realizing they’re not handled and she had the same facts as before. She didn’t just now learn Sal has the costume. 2- I could accept the clairvoyance argument better if the police hadn’t done anything to show a predisposition towards using excessive force very recently. But they have, almost nothing BUT that. “Well! Now that they’ve used excessive force against protestors and attempted lethal force against Amber (who remains at large), my (exhausted/horny) assessment says they’ll just quit and take no further actions.” And now I’m hearing the argument “Only cLaIrVoYaNCe could have made a better assessment!” DOROTHY could have puzzled this all out of she hadn’t let horniness take the wheel for hours at a time. She had her reasons for not doing so. 3- @Harold “Blame” and “fault” are meaningless, risk flows along decision networks. “If Dorothy had reallocated 5-10 minutes away from Joyce Intimacy Time yesterday, it would have been highly effective compared to the 5-10 minutes spent now.” I know, it’s obvious. “Did you know it’s easier to move the oily rags _before_ the space heater next to them accidentally tips over, setting them on fire?” Still, sometimes bears saying. “Only clairvoyance could know that was a distinct possibility with oily rags!” According to some. A quick call or text to Sal like “Hey they’re probably not done searching, how secure are we feeling vis a vis the garment situation?” would clearly have paid big dividends compared to 3 more minutes of Joyce smooches. That’s it. That’s the whole thesis of my comment. (And the answer to your question @JeremyAR) Not a bad lesson to take away from the comic,really. Conclusions like “Shane blames Dorothy for everything” is hallucination. She’s one node on a network who made one particular choice, here is the sum of the results. What will really impress me is if Dorothy actually learns from these choices and plans better in the future because of them.

Astariel

She's texting everyone now in an understandable panic because the police are raiding their dorm. Earlier, she was willing to take Dina's word for it that everything was taken care of, but now she wants to make sure. I'm still not clear on how it was Dorothy's responsibility to take care of this when Dina and Sal were the ones doing the job, and explicitly assured her that everything was taken care of.

Jeremy AR

This is absolute gibberish that tries to sound smarter that it is
