So basically what we're gonna do is dance

Ragtime

Okay, so, this is my comment

Kelly (they-them)

I really thought that Carla had Charlie wheel the TV into the wrong classroom. Once again Willis has pulled one over on me

Logibear

Oh Leslie, if only your morals could be used as legal tender.

Jamie (QueenofSodor)

i really like the composition of carla being drawn very small to represent her emotional state and reflection

Harold

Send lawyer and money, and guns only if needed

Logibear

(This is not a slight. Her refusing these offers are the greenest of flags)

Patrick Duke

Oh, that isolated, tiny picture of Carla with no background... Man, that is powerful. Willis has outdone himself re: pathos.

Dan Rabin

Small screen-size Carla is a very comics-resourceful way of showing that the moral considerations of her situation are getting through to her like nothing else has in the entire time we've known her. She's even skating with little steps, not her usual outta-my-way long strokes. As a whole, the strip is a triptych: two panels of Becky being practical with Leslie, two of the Amazing Shrinking Carla, and a final two of Charlie for the humorous wrap-up. Four women, three locations, one strip.

I do hope Leslie finds something to get help. Maybe Carla will think of something post-talk

Tessea

*Chokes on drink at Charlie* I love her! Also, Introspective Carla! That's new. I do look forward to seeing how her delightful and endlessly supportive parents take on such a heavy subject. I wonder how well a GoFundMe would work for Leslie. She'd need to get funded pretty quick. And Carla could even make some anonymous donations to help if she found out about it.

Fart Captor

I would suggest onlyfans as an option, but bank robbery is probably more acceptable to payment processors and the University

Tessea

What a time to be alive.

Simon Magid

'very small' and 'reflection' are also both very unusual to see in connection with Carla.

Vex Fidel

Okay, so here's the earth

@Dan Rabin Baby steps, one could say.

Shane Wegner

“Be kind, because everyone you meet is fighting a battle you might know nothing about.” Charlie’s was Room Recognition, Status: Vanquished!

Shane Wegner

Using Ruttech resources to correct a problem Ruttech indirectly contributed to just seems like crafty tactics and balance to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Ria (/squints) Don Henley? Is that you?

magfest_outlaw

Cancelling my membership because of the weirdly authoritarian streak happening on the main site comments, I'm going. Going to miss enjoying this comic here with you guys!

Harold

Meanwhile, Robin is asking her sister for help setting up an OF

Sajuuk-Khar

Roz, internally screaming like she’s in Hellraiser and the Cenobites are showing her some Real Shit

Sajuuk-Khar

Alternatively, Carla, you could decide that your personal conquest of the Earth is the only solution and get really into unethical science

Harold

@Fart Captor: Just point Charlie in Dina 's direction. They'll be inside a bank vault in no time.

The other Alan

As someone who moderates a forum, let me tell you what's going on over there is in no way authoritarian compared to some stuff I've seen. In fact, in this case I would have banned that person months ago. If all one can do is complain about someone else's work, one should not be reading the work, you know?

Harold

@5099 5618 v2.0: Out on the quad today, I saw an A-G costume on a poindexter

Rob McBobson

I'd be super grateful if either of you could the explain what's going on, in more detail. (Or if anybody else could.) I avoid the main site comments like the plague.

The other Alan

I don't know details, as I don't do the main site comments either, but apparently it go so out of hand it spilled over into The Willis' Bsky account. That's where I saw it. Not a member there so I posted here. The gist is that a person who has spent every single day of the last year commenting that they hate the comic apparently got banned.

Jens H. (Nethead Jay)

I'll 2nd the request for more details on what's going on. I also moderate a forum and the "authoritarian" comment got me raising an eyebrow.

Tessea

Her parents had life insurance which paid out to Becky when her father died.

Tessea

I'm glad there's moderation on the main site now. It has to be incredibly disheartening for someone to do nothing but dump on your work nonstop. No one deserves that.

Tessea

As a non-American, what is the ACLU?

Harold

@Tessea: The American Civil Liberties Union. It's a nonprofit that's been defending civil rights since 1920.

C Bonesmith

American Civil Liberties Union- basically an advocacy group that helps people in this exact situation. They provide legal assistance in civil liberties cases- you see them show up a lot in issues where there's governmental suppression, separation of church and state cases, free speech cases, that kind of thing. The wiki article is pretty comprehensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union

Tim Starliper

@Shane - this is what I am struggling with. Leslie standing her ground and refusing to use resources from Ruttech and staying the course with her morals, but also with Ruttech being partially responsible for the situation, having their resources used to address the problem - possibly without their direct control or knowledge (via Carla using her privilege) - would bring some level of karmic balance, perhaps.

Tim Starliper

So the question is...will this be the beginning of a new Carla?

Star Ringer

The master's tools can never dismantle the master's house.

Star Ringer

It's exhausting how people will treat a space that's not theirs and they're not entitled to in any sense. Like moderating a discord server where aasholes demand the exact wording of the rule they broke. Like, dude, this isn't a place with legally binding terms and conditions that bad actors like you can lawyer-weasel your way around, you got kicked out for being an asshole. Is ejecting a drunk jackass from the house party authoritarian now?
