It’s too late.
Sarah’s already a carrier.
Soon her flesh shall blossom into sword-steel; her organs, interlink with untold resilience. Her smile shall shine forth as a beacon of the futility of resistance.
Why would she? Not only does she never get called out on not respecting boundaries, if the commentariat is any indication there’s no lack of people telling her that she SHOULD disrespect them.
Sarah opens her eyes, frowns, closes her eyes. A brilliant blue-white light flashes from the vicinity of Sarah’s bed, momentarily blinding Joyce, Billy, and anyone who happened to be in the corridor behind them. Joyce’s blindness fades and she sees Sarah sleeping soundly, a faint smile tugging up the corners of her mouth. Between Joyce and Sarah’s bed, on the floor, Joyce spies the charred one-eyed remnant of Dina’s hat, three bright vermillion strands of hair, two small piles of teeth, and a handful of freckles.
Seriously, Sarah’s only chance of getting through the day without Joyce-inflicted trauma would have been to sneak up in the middle of the night and hide in the basement for the rest of the day.
I was worried there for a moment but hex color sampling from cheek:
Billie from February f9eecd
Billie today f9eecd
She should still go to the doctor though.
Sarah IMMEDIATELY melts from saccharine-induced diabeetus
TriceraTOP
But really, who wouldn’t
She also faced Joyce’s triangular smile.
I read the first three words and mentally ended the sentence “…them both with heat vision she spontaneously developed out of sheer irritation”.
Either works.
Someone besides Joyce with the huge wakeup grins? Wow, that is a b’day surprise!
Dina has been shown practicing Joyce’s triangle smile before.
Thank you, I had repressed that from my memory but now i get to experience the nightmares again.
At least she’s gotten better at it by now.
Thunder stolen
“You’d think a cleric of Thor wouldn’t steal his buddy’s thunder like that.”
“I understood that reference”
– Captain America, ironically also a friend of Thor.
By the thunder lizard and her girlfriend!
Thor was well compensated for his thunder, though.
THE USURPER
S
The triceratop lives forever in the Dina magnet on my car.
Oh snap, people be stepping in on Joyce’s territory, and by people I mean Becky and Dina. Still who else was going to do it if not them or Joyce?
I managed to get an updated comic before there was like a thousand comments, so does Sarah go full ninja assassin or just strangle Becky and Dina?
That’s Sal’s M.O.
That day Ruth buried 4 corpses and Mike engraved in their graves “Here lies an idiot”.
To clarify, the probability of Sarah killing Ruth is pretty low.
—smiles await you when you rise…
Absolutely perfect. Much better than my own inadequate first thought:
All alone with me and we’re waiting for the sunlight
I literally did not know about this song until a couple of minutes ago:
Because I think it’s worth my while / to share a room with your smile
It’s a lyric? I thought it was a fortune from a cookie. I was all ready to slap ‘… in bed’ onto it.
I do not envy Dina or Becky right now.
Or Sarah for that matter.
… Or Joyce either.
Or Billie.
Nothing like waking your birthday buddy with an up-close wide-eyed grin.
Also, yay for the tricera-hoodie! Of course Dina would wear that on her special day.
THE TRIANGLE SMILE! IT IS SPREADING! Run Sarah Run!
It’s too late.
Sarah’s already a carrier.
Soon her flesh shall blossom into sword-steel; her organs, interlink with untold resilience. Her smile shall shine forth as a beacon of the futility of resistance.
“Wake up,
TennoSarah.”“The
SystemSchool needs you.”Glad i wasn’t the only one that immediately thought of this.
A carrier? Are you saying that Joyce’s triangular smile is similar to the Joker disease?
Lol! An Ana chronistic reference
And now we need a corney Joyce saying hey! for memes 😀
*hissing noise*
JOYCE. Goddammit, I thought you finally learned that shit wasn’t okay? Bah.
But didn’t you see? She has three panels of justifications for it. Three panels!
Nope, must fill a whole storyline with ’em, sorry, I don’t make the rules. 😛
Why would she? Not only does she never get called out on not respecting boundaries, if the commentariat is any indication there’s no lack of people telling her that she SHOULD disrespect them.

THIS STRIP GAVE ME HOPE.
It just built you up (built you up) buttercup, baby
Just to let you down (let you down) and mess you around.
So rude.
Good song.
I always forget that Joyce’s mouth is just an empty of white until she goes to wake someone up again.
Joyce looks like Leslie.
Ah, the cuteness!
The tricerahoodie is eternal. It will live on long after all of us are dust. Or until the DoA cast graduate, whichever comes first.
Probably the first one
TOP TEN ANIME BETRAYALS
Joyce was so looking forward to being the one to wake up Sarah on her birthday with a big smile.
TOO SLOW JOYCE YOU LOSETHIS ROUND
Sarah opens her eyes, frowns, closes her eyes. A brilliant blue-white light flashes from the vicinity of Sarah’s bed, momentarily blinding Joyce, Billy, and anyone who happened to be in the corridor behind them. Joyce’s blindness fades and she sees Sarah sleeping soundly, a faint smile tugging up the corners of her mouth. Between Joyce and Sarah’s bed, on the floor, Joyce spies the charred one-eyed remnant of Dina’s hat, three bright vermillion strands of hair, two small piles of teeth, and a handful of freckles.
Oh no! Upstaged!
With that smile Becks could upstage anyone.
SARAH: “Oh my god! She’s spreading!”
They’re lucky Sarah doesn’t try to strangle anyone who wakes her up that way.
that day, Sarah scream could be heard all the way from the dormitories to blowjob cat
The only one missing is Lucy
I wasn’t ready to see a double homicide today…
Heh, I totally called Dina and Becky teaming up to smile-wake someone, but I totally blew the target.
I thought they would wake up Sal and ask her about Pachycephalosaurus
Seriously, Sarah’s only chance of getting through the day without Joyce-inflicted trauma would have been to sneak up in the middle of the night and hide in the basement for the rest of the day.
Ahaha, funny.
Joyce would still find her there.
Even odds Joyce would at least be deterred by the Stair-Stepper Trauma.
Side note- Billie is turning an increasingly clammy color of Liver-Failure Jaundice Yellow.
Her shirt may make her coloring look worse. But she really needs to get medical help with this.
I was worried there for a moment but hex color sampling from cheek:
Billie from February f9eecd
Billie today f9eecd
She should still go to the doctor though.
I never knew how much I wanted Joyce’s face in the last panel. That is amazing.
Me too. That is just perfection. XD
“Oh yeah, I forgot to mention you might want to be out of range of the strangling hands…”
That’s Sal, not Sarah.
Sarah’s got the baseball bat. Longer reach.
Hey, that bat has a name. It’s Old Testament God.
It fuck’n better be actually named that
Huh. I would have thought it would be named Jules Winnfield.
“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger”
Poor Joyce. Denied.
(I’m not really sorry for her, waking people up like that is kind of obnoxious.)
I don’t know…I’d love having her wake me up every morning.
You snooze. You lose.
If Dina’s smiling face doesn’t improve your morning then you aren’t human
I love that hoodie. Maybe I’ll own one like it, one day.
And Joyce imploded
the comic ends on this page because sarah is forced to end the universe
There’s just something about that triangle smile…I’d be head over heels for Joyce if I were in their universe.
Sure hope I did the alt text right.
