Oh Darcy :((

EllieRLM

Oh sweatheart.... 💔

Charlie

Ooooh, that’s where this was going. Poor Darcy 🫂🫂 Good way to sober Nick up a little 👏👏

Sarah Jacobs

It's so hard when a parent doesn't love you enough/properly/like you deserve. Darcy deserves kindness, acceptance and safety, as do we all.

Loveislove

Holy shit this night!! Darcy has entered the cursed ground 🐲

laura

me last page: “this night can’t get worse!” alice: “is that a challenge? 🤨”

ACxo

Definitely :(

Bluest JM

oh darcy, you have so many people who do love you

Irem7

Pewww, okay. We know that storyline so they will be okay. (Tara&Darcy) Clever way to link the show Alice🩷

Allegra2346

Oh god the timing just could not be worse, poor Darcy 😖😖😖

Lolli98

And welcome back to the Green Dragon! This place still won't stop spitting out terrible things! Poor Darcy...😕 Can someone now please pick up these poor kids and take them home (Charlie to Nick's and Darcy to Tara's home)?

Maddy

ALICE! YOU CAN'T JUST POP UP OUT OF THE BLUE AND BREAK OUR HEARTS LIKE THIS! 😭😭😭

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Poor Darcy!! They look so scared and shaken!!! It was for the best, buddy. Your mum isn't a good person to be around. I hope Tara gets to let her stay with her for a bit, like in the show.

Merel

Oh Darce :((

Isak

I just want to give Darcy a big hug, I think they could use one of those right about now

Vantacy_1912

okay great…guess nobody’s having a good night tonight

Ciara B

My heart 😩

K

I bet you can't last two days without worrying about them

2catlovers

This is going to be messy with drunk Nick….

Maddy

I WAN'T TO GO HOMEEEEE. I DON'T WANNA BE AT THE GREEN DRAGON ANYMOREEEEEEEEEE 😭

val

oh darcy :((

Ava

😢💔

Audrina

Oh, the timelines from the series and graphic novel are kind of merging now aren't they? Poor Darcy :(

Lolli98

I hope we get to see Darcy's nan in the comics. I really loved her in the show!🙂

Adrian

heartbreaking. some parents just don’t deserve to have children.

Katie H

Poor Darcy, that is such a horrible situation to be in 😢 I hope Darcy can stay with Tara and Darcy deserves to be in place where they feel safe and loved

Kristen

Oh all the drama! Bless her heart! I will never understand, as a mom, how you could do that to your child! It hurts my heart! 😭🍂

2catlovers

I adore the framing of Darcy between the boys’ shoulders in the last panel

Merel

Alice really said none of my characters get to be happy this volume

Brittney

Aww Darcy, our sweetheart 🤧 I'm definitely going to start crying. I think now we are kind of going into a bit of the show route which is understandable. Everyone deserves a big hug right now, I swear we are for sure going out with a big bang for this final volume and it makes sense as to why

Shin__

My heart broke 😭

Michelle wright

I couldn't even imagine ever kicking my child out 😭 poor Darcy!

Chris

Luckily Darcy have wonderful friends who will help her through this ❤️‍🩹

Maddy

Everyone is falling apart; meanwhile, Aled is just vibing in a corner somewhere and watching the chaos unfold.

Noemiette

You really went "You get a terrible evening ! You get a terrible evening ! Everybody gets a terrible evening !!" 😅 (except Sahar xD)

Rosie💕

just pulled my heart right out of my chest. oh darcy, i’m sorry

Sandrine

As a mum myself I wholeheartedly agree. I cannot even imagine that someone would do that to their own child. It physically hurts me to be just thinking about that

Merel

Oh no it's a joke! Because pretty much all the main characters are having a miserable time so far 🥲 (especially this evening)

Lolli98

Don't praise it for Sahar before the Green Dragon is closed for the night!😉

Juliana Barhorst

OMG! Everything’s happening at once! I’m overwhelmed! 😩😩Charlie please let us leave this place. Also so sad about Darcy but this potentially has the opportunity for her Gran to enter and she’s an icon! 👑

Elfi

Darcy's face 😭

Maddy

I miss the person I was before seeing this.

Justin S.

you get a terrible evening and YOU get a terrible evening! :(

Maddy

I'm going to pull a Nick real quick and ignore the fact that I ever saw this and pretend like I'm okay.

NellieSayzBork

Oh man...what a night! The circles under Darcy's eyes are so sad

Kela87

Jepp, let's get some booze! Everything is FINE... NORMAL! 🫣

Vicky Saumell

Yes, it's unbelievable. Yet it still happens, I myself have given refuge to one of my daughter's friends who got kicked out by his parents...

Maddy

I need a nap. This was a lot.

Tina

nope i'm out gonna watch s1e3 on repeat to make up for this

emmy ౨ৎ

we just got back to back whiplash these last few pages owowow

Maddy

Listen, guys... we knew this was going to happen. Let's just all do the sane thing and suppress the shit out of it. 😌

Kela87

I was sooooo looking forward to a page today, after so many days... And I instantly regretted that 😱😭

Katrina

Oh nooo poor Darcy :(

Brandy78

I’m just going to say it, I hate it here, and by here, I mean the Green Dragon! 😭💔

Maddy

I've been a month strong with not rewatching the show. I'm going to relapse rq and just heal myself with how Darcy's storyline turns out.

Arah!☆

This is to much😖😖😖😔😔

Elena

I checked which day it was, when we first saw them going into the Green Dragon. It was Jan 3rd, so it's one month today! 😵😰🫥😶‍🌫️🫣 It was the same page, when Charlie struggled with eating his toast. At least not everything was sh*t in the green dragon from the beginning (f.e. Nick and Charlie had a good time at the beginning, but Tao and Elle were already pissed at each other and Darcy was missing) So we can say though, we are one month in, in seeing bad moments most of the time. No wonder we all want them to go home from that sh*t pub! 😱😭

Lolli98

Maybe a girl dressed like a Barbie will come along and kiss her.😂

Lissie

Oh No 🥺 Darcy is going thru it.

Claire

The universe is throwing everything at the Paris Squad on this evening at the pub. Hopefully, they can rise to it all - talk it all through -- and support each other. Poor Darcy 😔

Eileen

Love the artwork and page layout on this one.

Beam Bugge

when aled finds out that another blond lesbian was kicked out by their homophobic mother:

Maddy

Alice, would you be able to share about how many pages are in this volume in total? Ik you just finished 160 so I'm curious about how many would be left.

Cliff

Yeah, this was coming eventually. Will Nick snap out of moroseness and try to solve everything for Darcy?

Beam Bugge

first we have nick's brain being a dick, then we have tao and elle arguing about long distance, now darcy got kicked out... all the season 2 events are really happening this evening

Maddy

Also I love how you're stalking the comments. U took like no time to respond 😭😭❤️

RO

Charlie’s growth! He’s the one to be there for his friends/boyfriend in tough times now ❤️

Ada Suzany

how's your hand Alice?

Ada Suzany

poor Darcy, didn't deserve 😵‍💫

Bee Levy

alice really said "nice set up for a fun night out you got there... sure would be a shame if something happened to it..."

Laura

Oh Darcy! ❤️

Evergreen

I wondered if this would be the comic version of the prom day storyline for Darcy! I love that Alice has crafted different timelines for each format based on storytelling needs - sometimes with stories we haven’t even seen yet in the comic!

Xalek

Oh no Darce!

Maia

Eventful night, huh?

David C Witkin

Oh, no! Poor Darcy! And just when we thought Nick was going to have the time and space to open up emotionally, Darcy's emergency, which is definitely an emergency, will push Nick's emotional crisis to the side. Which is a shame, but it's also as it should be, I suppose, since Darcy really will need everyone to support them through the current emergency. Charlie and Tara, both, will be "stretched thin".

Carly Louise

Aww Darcy I'll adopt you 😭

Theaterboi27

What is up with this night?!! The Green Dragon won't let go!! You can come in, but you can never leave! Poor Darcy. Their mother is so unaccepting. Parents like Darcy's mum are the very reason so many of us have chosen family. A family who also chose us to love and care for. Darcy has that chosen family now. They are surrounded by a tribe who loves them and accepts them for who they are. Really love how the background crowd is drawn in shaded outline form with the little splotches and dots on the last panel when Darcy delivers their sad shocking news.

Jennifer Paddock

And the hits juat keep on coming!. Something in the stars tonight... 💔

David C Witkin

I think it's time to treat the Green Dragon like the escaped lizard that it is and put it back in its cage.

ucfnurse

Oh my Darcy….😯🫢🫂🤞🏳️‍🌈🌞🌻🌈💕💗🏘️☕️🥯✌️🕊️☮️

Michael Hocking

TV overlap. The TV show does need to explore those who aren't as lucky as the Heartstopper characters.

rickettyuncles

Heartsore for Darcy … but ecstatic to have a page today!

DogBefriender22

The Good News: Alice is well enough to be drawing again 🥳 😍 The Bad News: We’re still in the bloody Green Dragon! 🐉 😭

Katha

Ok- wow! 😳❤️ I love the arrangement of the first and second panel. How Nick and Charlie frame Tara and suddenly she (and Darcy) are in the center (literally and figuratively)

Ania W.

For some time now I have had to repeat aloud to myself that these are fictional characters. And it doesn't work at all.

Cole Morin

This pub is so ghetto lol we need to leave. Our beloved characters are just going through it in here and they can’t ever go back 🤣

rickettyuncles

Hmm, will Rescue Nick emerge from the pond of alcohol he’s sloshing around in?

Dionne Lakey

Well... it seems This Winter ain't a great one either so far

Ariel

Awwww Darcy😭

Dionne Lakey

Is Tara a Prefect in the comics? I think Tara and Charlie's organisational skills as headboy and prefect are going to kick into gear

Neenie

Catching up to the show in the worst way, poor Darcy.

Jo Mary

Aww poor Darcy she needs her grandma she so lovely hope Nick and Charlie get home soon 🫶🏻

Laura

Can I adopt Darcy?

Lolli98

Nick looks a little more sober. At least his eyes are open and he doesn't look like a toddler anymore.😉

Dani

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING SO QUICKLY! DRUNK AND JEALOUS NICK, TAOELLE FIGHTING AND NOW THIS! HELP!!!!

Hanna Flick

DARCY IVE BEEN SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU

Angie Michaelis

Artistically this page is so well done—the framing between Nick and Charlie, the focus on Tara and then Darcy, the emotion on their faces and the shading in the background to emphasize that emotion. It’s like they’re alone in a crowded room. It all increases the impact here. 👌 Emotionally though? Gut punch. 😭 Welcome back, Alice! I hope you’re feeling better. ❤️‍🩹

syd

DARCY

syd

THIS IS A BAD NIGHT ALL AROUND HUH

Angie Michaelis

It will be so interesting to see how this affects Nick and Charlie. It felt like we were soo close to them having that very needed conversation, but it feels like this will push that back since it’s a bigger emergency.

enbykeith

I knew it 😭 poor Darcy

Frances

Omg! They (and we) can’t catch a break, can they?! 😢 These poor kids 🥺

Loveislove

Umm - could someone please go check on Aled? 🐲

Loveislove

Yup - I'm living in season 1 right now - much cozier zipping between scenes

Calfic

But I think they both are emergencies. I'm not saying they shouldn't help overall, but probably what Darcy needs to do the most right now is to stay at Tara's cuddle her and then talk to Tara about what is up and the next steps she wants to take. Also, Nick looks like he woke up a little, but the massive amounts of alcohol aren't fully in his system most likely. The best way Nick and Charlie could help tonight , is to make sure that Darcy and Tara get to Tara's house.

KL

alice is REALLY making all them (and us) go THROUGH IT

Bina

every time i think the pub night can’t get any worse, somehow it does 😭 Nick and Charlie were on the verge of finally going home, maybe having their long-awaited talk, but now disaster has struck once again and i think helping Darcy will probably (rightfully) take precedence over everything else. i’m more desperate than ever at this point for everyone to leave the damn Green Dragon so Darcy can get the help and support she needs, and Nick can at least have some water and a lie-down!

Angie Michaelis

Oh definitely. Nick needs help right now. I could just see him pushing it off in order to try to help Darcy—he feels most useful when he’s helping people—even though he’s not in a position to do that here.

Calfic

Oh geez. I hope she is more mad than sad. (Alice has said Darcy uses she/her pronouns for now in the comic.). Her mum is just terrible. Reminds me a bit of my grandma, if a more extreme version. (She didn't go to my mom's high school graduation because she looked too much like a hippie and was too liberal.) I hope that she can stay with Tara and maybe get other supports from organizations maybe. I also think her friends will be great, but maybe not tonight. If I were Charlie, my next step , if Tara didn't know what to do, is to ask Tara if she needs to call her parents to have Darcy stay over. Of course N&C can comfort Darcy, and make sure she gets to Tara's but once they know, she will be safe, they should take care of the immediate situation they have and get Nick to bed. I also worry a bit that Nick might burst out crying, which I'm not sure would help. I think usually he would be great at helping, but not tonight. Just because he woke up a little, doesn't mean he isn't REALLY drunk and he needs sleep. (And a talk, but I could see how tomorrow that could be pushed aside because they are so worried about Darcy.)

RCM

I think I've started and deleted a comment about 10 times today...it's like the depth of emotional punches conveyed by the powerful design of this page keeps hitting me harder every time I looked at it...damn... I do love how it's one BIG panel showing its primarily about Darcy, and then that the whole page encapsulates those two inset panels with Tara (and the boys). In that first inset panel, we don't know exactly what Tara is seeing, and her speech bubble with a simple "Darcy?" that extends past the structured border made my heart drop into my stomach. It's like a pause button hit Tara, who outwardly is still sporting her 'oh so cute and stylish' fit in the middle of a big, never ending pub night, but everything about her being goes stock-still, like she is rooted to that very spot. Her hands are quiet by her side, and her raised eyebrows, wide eyes, and barely open mouth while she is saying "DARCY" in a way that is somehow so audible and also so quiet, like we do when we fear something awful has happened and we don't want to acknowledge it because doing so will make it real. I was frozen by this panel, too, and was so scared to keep looking. This scared Charlie and Nick too, as they turned in unison to look over their shoulders...both with worried faces (even as Nick is still with the alcohol affected dilated pupils), so concerned for their friend. Even more, in panel 2, Tara's downturned mouth here tells me she KNOWS...before Darcy utters a word, Tara knows it's really bad. I love how Alice wanted to give us DARCY's viewpoint here...all she wants and needs is to see Tara, even if Tara is in the middle of a very crowded pub (surely it has to be closing time soon, for god's sake!). By drawing Nick and Charlie at the edges of the panel, they serve almost as buttresses (for both artistic purposes and supportive friends purposes) that force our eyes to converge on Tara (just as Darcy's eyes and heart and hope and pain are all doing). Further, as friends (and very good friends at that!) Nick and Charlie (Charlie especially who has been worried about Darcy from work AND just heard Tara's concerns) clearly know something is up with Darcy, and are and always will be there to SUPPORT her ( and Tara) in any way, but they don't quite see ALL of her like Tara does (very similar to how no one sees all of Nick like Charlie can, or vice versa)...it's part of their love story. They are most vulnerable with their person, their home, their grounding, even as they do need and hold their friends very dearly. (It's just a really impactful visual for our (yes all of us!) need for different types of relationships and support and love, reminding me how important community and chosen family truly are, and that feels really critical right now in real life too!). And then, there's Darcy...somehow looking formidable and terrified at the same time. I think my gut twists most as I imagine what her past few hours were like, between the (hateful) arguing, the decision to leave (was it hers or her mum's?). How long did she have to throw stuff in a bag, what did she even choose? Does she have her phone or did she leave so urgently that she forgot it? Did she climb out her window or race out the front door and run with those bags towards Tara...and just kept running and running (or popping on and off public transportation as able, IF she had any money!) until she could get to Tara...and now she is here, in the middle of this everlasting, faceless crowd, only seeing Tara but feeling buttressed by Nick and Charlie, and, finally, FINALLY, speaking her reality aloud, mixed with an air of disbelief. She looks utterly exhausted, and I so want to just hug her and tell her it's all going to be okay. There's also something poignant with the panel drawn so it cuts off and we don't see her feet that makes this page even heavier...like the whole of her story has been truncated thus far, with so much to be revealed...like it is too chaotic and unsettled for her to be grounded, yet...

2catlovers

As a Tolkien fan I am somewhat unhappy that the pub is the Green Dragon - a place of awesome food & good company (and I live in NZ & have actually eaten there in Hobbiton). It’s more like the Green Swamp, or The Slime, or… the Pit of Despair (I’m sure the Princess Bride won’t mind!).

Klara Dalgren

The funny thing is, reading the events in this pub will take 5 minutes when reading the volume 😂

emily

oh darcy :(

Flor D. la Peña🍂

I was going to say “again ?” then I remembered that that happened only on the show

Jessica Sloan

Well I never planned on being a mother but that just changed

Kassie K Wilson

Oh shit… I forgot that the whole dance scenario totes hadn’t happened in the comic! 😓

Murgy

This is not the Paris Squad's night is it? I hope Darcy managed to grab everything important, more so they don't have to deal with their mum again if it can be avoided but that's not a lot of stuff to have left. I'm sure Darcy will be able to stay with Tara, but its going to be hard on Darcy for a while. Perhaps her gran is equally awesome in the comics as she is in the series, because Tara can't help Darcy alone. Maybe a hug is in order before the finding of Charlie's coat.

Harry

crying

Lili

Wow! Okay so Alice you have officially broke me

Elsie 3

Everyone to Nick’s house immediately. Sarah Nelson: put on some tea and pizza- we have 7 sad teenagers coming your way and they ALL need you.

Katrin

Darcy 🥺

Lauri

Ok, Darcy needs to press charges against their mom
