"Quick! Deploy the deterrent" "Hello ladies, oh! Three of you?"

jafortee

Damn Jake you’ve got the whole squad laughing

Kelly (they-them)

My genuine initial thought is that Joe said that to get Raidah to walk away

Ragtime

no parents or vehicles in the scene.......unlikely

You would think the alt-text refers to Joe’s crass perversion, and you would be 80% right. But it ALSO refers to Raidah’s dumb ass, who, faced with the complete disintegration of her thesis, has devolved back to her truest self: a huge petty mess.

Logibear

Tactical misogyny!

Maude Reads Things

GDI Joe, go back to your workout and quit proving Raidah's point. Get her, Dina

Sajuuk-Khar

She was sorry that Dina was offended, mostly

Logibear

I'm now imagining the next three strips just being a rolodex of friends that Sarah has made showing up to the gym to provide support a la episode 26 of Neon Genesis Evangellion

Fart Captor

Dina is truly the perfect creature

Harold

Joe: "...or, as I still fantasize from time to time, girl-on-girl-on-girl"

C

Look, personal growth doesn't mean we've cut boner jokes out entirely. Insert Batman boner comic here.

I also love the separated reactions to Joe’s fifth panel filth: -Raidah is disgusted (the one moment in this strip she is correct) -Sarah is disappointed -Dina understands that reference (and is continuing to register her interest??)

Lazuli

raidah go hang out with rachel. you two would have a lot in common

Sajuuk-Khar

No no, I think Jakey may yet have purpose as the local raptor’s plaything. His cowardice may be temporary.

DramaQueen

Yes, Sarah has friends, they may be just too weird for Raidah but that’s her problem. Looks like miss social climber has nothing better to do (and no one to stop her) but to harass people who clearly do not want her around. What happened to her little mob of yes-men?

Sajuuk-Khar

Carl is waiting outside the exercise room, doing something horrible on his phone

MrShoggoth

I’m pretty sure he’s backing up Sarah with the goal of annoying Raidah until she fucks off. Never underestimate how effective the troll wingman is

Jesse

Who’s Jakey?

Aleph Null

this was almost a mature conversation for a second

Jesse

Yeah, “Disengage” is totally how children talk. Of course people are going to hate you if you’re condescending whether people try to be civil or not.

C.T. Phipps

I am so sad that it's not going to be the GRAND REVEAL of how Dana is doing. Raidah is RIGHT THERE! She can tell Sarah! *head desk*

Harold

@Jesse: "I hope Jakey dies" is a meme. In the context of Joyce and Dorothy's relationship, Joe is Jakey.

Matt Doyle

This was my thought, too. Joe's grown enough not be that crass *by accident*. Not saying he wouldn't be gross, but that was not a slip, it was a maneuver.

Minzoku Bokumetsu

now thinking of the cruel mom or other who was going to humiliate her stepdaughter over Thanksgiving, so the stepdad made a LOUD FART specifically timed to be disruptive

Astariel

Aw, love seeing Dina & Joe come in to support Sarah, and also prove Raidah completely wrong as usual.

Jesse

@Harold …’Kay?

@S-K I think we could get there. Could be quite hot. But there's a few hundred moments between the proposition and the actual required choices, from here[1]. Definitely not guaranteed, but not impossible, either. Tell you what: if Dina finds a way to make Joe her own personal raptor paddock within 100 strips, I'll owe you a Coke (or your soft drink of choice) and one whole "I Told You So" [1] - For instance, I think Joe would be inclined to ask for Becky's blessing, at this phase in his development.

@Logibear I think that's called "chaff"

@Aleph Null One can only be 100% mature for so long. It's like the avatar state, kinda, and very much can be shattered if it's over-used Also, the man's a slut at heart. He's just learning how to do that ethically, lately.

Corronchilejano

I was not expecting the perfect manzai from Joe and Dina.

Kelly (they-them)

Raidah continues with her consistent casual ableism

Shane Wegner

Perhaps it was…-insincere???-

Kelly (they-them)

Raidah: You can't lecture me about friendships because you don't have any friends. Raidah, seconds later: Your friends are of low quality because they have no social capital and include a man who was notably misogynistic and a noticeably autistic woman

Shane Wegner

In her mind she’s winning this exchange.

5099 5618 v2.0

@SW See also: Hot Beef Injection (3-5x daily) [1] [1] - if it weren't before his time, I assume Joe would have a Something Awful account

Shane Wegner

She basically just admitted they’re expendable pawns to insulate her from The System.

5099 5618 v2.0

@SW You might need Jacob's help for a Manwich. Mind you, I suspect the thought of such a thing would make Joyce pass out from the sudden rush of blood leaving her head for elsewhere. So, maybe that's a bonus, for them.

joe mcguire

This is what we call a “tactical regression.” Bro slipped back into old bad behaviors, but he did it to draw attention to himself and de-escalate a conflict. At least that’s how I choose to perceive it at this moment

Shane Wegner

Raidah’s Stated Goal: Persuade Sarah to Influence Tony To Influence Dean, presumably to reinstate newspaper and divest Bulmeria-related weapons tech. Raidah’s Methodology: Belittle Sarah’s friends to their faces. Intended Sarah narrative: “Wow, my friends DO suck, I better switch to Team Raidah and do what she wants right away!” Real mastermind-level stuff there Raidah. Probable actual goals: Assuage ego, deflect accurate observation Dana may well have been treated as lost infrastructure vice an actual friend. I can imagine Raidah wrote something about appreciating diversity if accepted to U Indiana. Now that it’s here she has derogatory names for people.

Beck Chonigman

One hell of a goalpost shift from Raidah. Whatever quality of friends Sarah has, she still HAS friends. Which proves Raidah wrong, which she can't stand.

Tessea

Oh! So Raidah DOES remember how she treated Dina. Looks like my opinion of her CAN get lower. Also thank you, Joe.

John C. Kirk

Joe in the last panel reminds me of The Todd (from Scrubs).

Harold

@Shane Wegner: "Many, many inches" [Joe, probably]

VengeanceKnight

Raidah doing empty meaningless shit to make herself seem socially desirable? Why I never.

@MST3k.fan ... Dina: (/holds eye contact as Joe laughs, nervously)
