Theater attendants will be distributing feels during the course of the show. And by delivering I mean a trap door will open on the ceiling and drown everyone.
I dunno. Sarah is grouchy, but she’s never been actively malicious. She doesn’t have that evil drive to make someone else miserable. Ruth on the other hand..
Probably. But no monsters, vampires, or slutty meter maid costumes for Joyce; no doubt she had to dress as an OT Biblical character like Ruth, Sara (the wife of Abraham), or Esther.
I don’t think Joyce could rock the overall-shorts look the way Ruth does.
On the other hand, if Ruth borrowed Joyce’s orange sweater and added a little brown tint to her hair, she’d be a perfect Velma. I don’t think Billie could pull off Hot Dog Water, though.
Well, I know a lot of Chick-tract-toting evangelicals of Joyce’s family’s stripe are big on the whole “Halloween == devil worship” thing. (Of course, Just about everything is devil worship if Jack Chick can be believed.)
She celebrated it in It’s Walky, but only after the mindwipe, I think, and her parents seem harder-core in this universe.
Thank you for putting it into words. I was wondering why this felt so off. I can buy Sarah being bashful in new clothes and cautious about talking to a hot guy, but his “Words Change Things” stuff is so weird.
Sarah, you are about as accomplished at social interaction as I was, not that I’ve improved all that much, but at least a little better than this scene. I have “feels” or is that, am experiencing ‘feels’ for your predicament.
Shut up and ask him about his day. Works every time.
I have the suspicion that we skipped the panels in the continuity where Joyce tells Jacob “My roommate digs you. You can recognize her because I dressed her up in shorts. Talk her up and don’t blow it or I’ll” I am not sure what threat Joyce added to it but he’s obviously thinking very hard about it right now.
I regret being absent from the Internet yesterday, so that I could not drop a reference into that “pants” thread.
“I wonder if you’re the best in everybody’s pants?”
Do I fetch retroactive nerd cred, or is JoCo not cool here?
Jacob is being sweet and I understand how scared Sarah is. She thinks it’s safer for her to put up walls and only share her anger because how can you get hurt if you don’t put yourself out there? obviously I really want things to work out for her but I’m scared too, because on occasion this webcomic is all about the sad. ;p

“Don’t got much to say. Nothing’s pissing me off”
Yes, that’s Sarah.
Someone should turn around and say “You mean don’t HAVE much to say.” Then she could get pissed at Grammar Nazis.
Also, it should be “Nothing is” not “nothing’s”. You don’t get to just combine any word you want with “is”, silly girl!
Uh, yeah you can.
what
Pretty sure you don’t understand how contractions work.
Whazzat?
Dammit Sarah.
Y0U DUN G00F’D, SARAH.
That’s me, except it’s never a problem because something is always pissing me off.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand this is gonna be a long arc. Not to worry, I’ve packed feels.
I left all mine…somewhere.
I’ll get back to you if I ever find them again.
You all *bring* feels? This strip sprays them at you from every panel. And by “this strip” I don’t mean tonight, I mean DoA…
It’s more like it triggers them, and what you’re bringing is receptiveness.
Oh, hey, I found my feels. Turns out they were under life’s shoe.
Theater attendants will be distributing feels during the course of the show. And by delivering I mean a trap door will open on the ceiling and drown everyone.
Yeah, I think the feels you packed are not going to last. Should I bring more?
Words change things, and the fantasy that might be is better than destroying everything…
Hence why some people prefer the fantasy than the reality. They just don’t want that dream to end.
WORDS do not change things.
•LASERS• change things! Especially one’s naughty parts!!
Well that sounds… Horrifying…
Depends on the laser and the one who handles it.
ಠ□ಠ
d’awwwww
Not exactly the most positive person around, that Sarah.
She’s positively bitter.
Don’t dan this up now, Sarah!
We could compare lipstick. Personally I buy grape, but I like the tangerine thing you’ve got going on!
Wait…you use lipstick?
No. I forgot to put quotes.
He’s in touch with his feminine side, touching it with special battery powered toys.
My feminine side is mad at my masculine side for not having a fine lady to cuddle with. My masculine side is resigned to lady failure.
Looks more like peach to me.
Come on guys, it’s clearly Golden Sunrise, god!
Actually it’s Coral Blue Number…
Intimidated Sarah is intimidated.
Sarah + Mike: best or worst ship ever?
Yes.
I believe it could stay afloat but it probably wouldn’t sail too far.
It would float until she broke Mike down, his tears would fill the ship and sinking would ensue.
I feel like it would be like the Amber/Mike relationship from Shortpacked, but in reverse (Mike blackmailing Sarah with something)
I dunno. Sarah is grouchy, but she’s never been actively malicious. She doesn’t have that evil drive to make someone else miserable. Ruth on the other hand..
…is into girls.
According to her in this continuity she was kind of surprised by that development, so boys probably are still not out of the question.
Not exclusively.
But that’s kind of an informed trait; Billie’s the only person in either universe that she’s definitely demonstrated that she’s into.
IIRC she was really into a truck in the walkyverse.
Other way around.
It would sink like it’s a viking funeral: burning and full of treasures.
I will trust your opinion on viking funeral analogies because you are a drunken Nordmann.
This last year’s trauma coming back to haunt her! Dammit!
That’s the way, Sarah. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
I wish more people subscribed to this notion.
Seconded.
At first I read that as “gathers no food”.
Also true!
They do? Okay, the sky is green!
*looks out window*
Dammit.
Let me try. I am currently dreaming and it’s still 2007.
I can see the future and it is filled with feels
I saw my hovercraft, it was full of eels.
Could she be eye humping him any harder in that last panel? Her eyes even look wet… Make whatever joke/pun from that you like.
Her eyes ain’t the only thing wet…
She’d better wear eye protection. don’t wanna get ‘im pregnant.
Or catch an steye
S.T.Eye
That could happen. They discussed that in “Elders react”
“Don’t got much to say. Them cattle comin’ along nice. Looks like rain.” Sarah is reminding me of a cowboy.
I am more into the idea of Sarah as a cowboy than as a dickgirl.
Combine for best results!
Cow-dick girl… Cow dickgirl… Dick cowgirl… Dick-cow girl.
Is a cow-dick girl a lady with the job of herding cow penises?
She’s kinda reminding me of Zoe.
She’s terse.
“Terse? I can do terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic!”
It occurs to me that Halloween costume time should be coming up in a few weeks.
By which I mean three to five years, of course.
I wonder if Joyce is allowed to celebrate Halloween.
Probably. But no monsters, vampires, or slutty meter maid costumes for Joyce; no doubt she had to dress as an OT Biblical character like Ruth, Sara (the wife of Abraham), or Esther.
I’d like to see Billie’s look when Joyce’s dressed as Ruth.
I don’t think Joyce could rock the overall-shorts look the way Ruth does.
On the other hand, if Ruth borrowed Joyce’s orange sweater and added a little brown tint to her hair, she’d be a perfect Velma. I don’t think Billie could pull off Hot Dog Water, though.
Well played, Nordmann.
Well, I know a lot of Chick-tract-toting evangelicals of Joyce’s family’s stripe are big on the whole “Halloween == devil worship” thing. (Of course, Just about everything is devil worship if Jack Chick can be believed.)
She celebrated it in It’s Walky, but only after the mindwipe, I think, and her parents seem harder-core in this universe.
Anyway, for Joyce’s costume I’m thinking Sarah’s vision of Joyce à la Billie. Just to break the brains of everyone else in the dorm.
Those words are called adjectives.
Willis, if the next strip is nothing but an awkward silence…
Nah, the next strip might be a cut away to someone else.
Yeeeah. Might want to take the angst down a notch there, Sarah.
You know…for some reason, I can’t shake the feeling that this Jacob is somehow related to ME2’s Jacob.
Willis! Cosplay! Make it happen, and I will throw money at you!
Is Sarah going to disappear for a while and then Jacob ends up married to someone we’ve never heard of?
Oh, they weren’t married, he just knocked her up.
the last panel. I can relate.
Sarah, when did you start being so vulnerable and puppy-eyed? Is this what living with Joyce does to you?
You would be surprised what meeting the “right” person will do to someone.
I certainly was.
Don’t sarah this up, Sarah.
No it’s “Don’t Amber this up, Sarah.”
“Awwwww” for Sarah’s feels.
“WHu-HUH” for her admitting out loud that she ‘likes’ things.
Quit being creepy and vague, Sarah. You don’t even know Jacob that well, there’s no friggin relationship to change!
Thank you for putting it into words. I was wondering why this felt so off. I can buy Sarah being bashful in new clothes and cautious about talking to a hot guy, but his “Words Change Things” stuff is so weird.
Joyce can work miracles with outfits. Personality, on the other hand…
I dunno, I think she is doing pretty okay. And Jacob seems willing to help. Sorta awkwardly cute.
Those eyes…
Noooooooo! I don’t want to experience Sarah feels again!
Sarah, you are about as accomplished at social interaction as I was, not that I’ve improved all that much, but at least a little better than this scene. I have “feels” or is that, am experiencing ‘feels’ for your predicament.
Shut up and ask him about his day. Works every time.
I just love the thought of Dina giving Sarah relationship advice.
Well, if Joyce can dress her…
I’m saving that line in the second to the last panel to end future conversations with chatty idiots.
Watch out Sarah, Dina’s starting to think you’re socially awkward. 😉
I have the suspicion that we skipped the panels in the continuity where Joyce tells Jacob “My roommate digs you. You can recognize her because I dressed her up in shorts. Talk her up and don’t blow it or I’ll” I am not sure what threat Joyce added to it but he’s obviously thinking very hard about it right now.
Swing and a miss :p.
puh-lenty of innings to go……………………
This isn’t even my final feel.
I regret being absent from the Internet yesterday, so that I could not drop a reference into that “pants” thread.
“I wonder if you’re the best in everybody’s pants?”
Do I fetch retroactive nerd cred, or is JoCo not cool here?
Sarah isn’t very good at this.
No, but it appears that Jacob is perfectly willing to walk her through it.
Huh, not a lot of conversation today. I guess everyone could use a break from the commenting frenzy.
We talk plenty, but nothing’s pissing us off.
Jacob is being sweet and I understand how scared Sarah is. She thinks it’s safer for her to put up walls and only share her anger because how can you get hurt if you don’t put yourself out there? obviously I really want things to work out for her but I’m scared too, because on occasion this webcomic is all about the sad. ;p
ouch.
Come on Sarah! He digs you!
