Cartoon Crossroads Columbus 2019 (CXC) is located within the dreamy halls of the Columbus Metro Library downtown, and you can find me at the upstairs exhibitor expo area today on Saturday, September 28, from 11am-5pm, and Sunday, September 29 from 1pm to 5pm!
I’ll have books and magnets and myself at Table 26!
idk if you can have Best Birthday without DAT ASS to ogle
…I just realized I never had review sessions in college
or… did I manage to skip those days =o [pulled many a Walky in my day]
I’m currently pulling a Walky!
This sounds dirty.
Yep hmm aha yep that was awful
That…..could be very easily misinterpreted, Human…
Walky Performs A Masturbation.
Walky Receives a Hand…
I never even learned what review sessions were
“Come to think of it, there are only two people in this classroom right now…what is everyone else doing together?!”
That nameless extra is the only student in the class who isn’t a main character.
Give her time. She’ll be a Norville/Sue tier recurring background character soon enough, maybe working her way up to Said’s level within a couple years.
Maybe the Patreon folks can vet the ball rolling once they’re over the dinosaur plushie kick.
I think she’d be a plausible DOA version of this job interview lady. http://www.itswalky.com/comic/i-can-see-it-in-your-eyes/
Great Value Joyce
Which one is she more jealous of?
Sarah knew it was a slippery slope for Joyce when she skipped church.
“Don’t forget to wind your watch!”
Great, now I have to watch the first Bill & Ted movie…
There’s a 3rd one coming. I still can’t really believe that, and I’ve seen actual photos of them shooting it.
I know, it’s surreal. Right up there with Tron in the “movies I never thought would get a revival” category.
Sadly, the failure of John Carter at the box office seems to have killed it for… oh, probably another twenty years.
Aw, really? Everything I’ve found said they wrapped filming in late August, and it’s supposed to be out next summer.
Apologies for ambiguity. I meant a third TRON movie, to follow Legacy.
Still waiting for the second “Buckaroo Banzai” movie to come out.
They’d just screw it up.
Hey. Hey. Don’t be mean. … No matter where you go, there you are.
*plays Asia’s “Suspicion” on the hacked Muzak*
I’ve never understood that saying. There’s nothing strange about a foot being at the Circle K. I mean it’s not some kind of amputee-only convenience store.
There’s nothing strange about a pair of feet, maybe. But a foot?
What’s the other leg attached to? A pegleg?
If it’s a foot with no body attached to it, I’d say that’d be very strange indeed.
Gimme an Insight roll to see if you can identify the nature of this detached extremity.
That Doctor Strange. Always leaving his feet laying around everywhere.
*PAM PAM PAAAAAM*
SHE’S WEARING THE SAME SHIRT AS HOLT
I LOVE YOU WILLIS
Let’s explore the moral implications of Sarah noticing these things, followed by a heated debate over whether she deserves the electric chair or the blood eagle for it.
Eh?
Well that didn’t take long to put two and two together.
Everyone else is dead, beware the unnamed for they were the first to be infected!
Does the unnamed include the random blonde-haired girl that walked into class before Sarah? If she’s a zombie, Sarah better get out of there pretty quick.
She has no tag, she’s a guh guh guh ghost!
Obviously they have both fallen into a well; and need our help.
Darn it, I had forgotten about this plotline. I wanted to keep forgetting it.
The Joyce pretending to be someone’s girlfriend one? Yeah, I had to skip a few comics for a few days – I read them but they just make me cringe a bit since I’ve seen ppl do this in RL before.
Dun dun dunnnnnn!!!
Welp, time to go rescue Joyce again WHERE’S MY BAT
She’s going Full Sherlock on them, I’m impressed.
Ah, the Great Cringe is upon us. Wake me up when October ends.
Or as they’d say over at Welcome to Night Vale:
RUN! RUN! FORGET YOUR CHILDREN AND LEAVE BEHIND THE WEAK! RUN! If you have doors, lock them. If you have windows, board them up. If you still have ears, cover them, and crouch wherever you are.
It is Joyce Does Extremely Cringy Stuff Day. Please remain calm!
Very observant Sarah, but…
it wasn’t like me to skip class until I did.
I wasn’t gonna sit my room on my ass, until I did.
…okay, I give up. How on Earth did you do that?
I assume tesseracts.
I was gonna explain my joke, but I got tired.
If you have tires, then technically the room would be on your trunk.
“I’m sure everything is fine…”
They don’t call it the OK ranch for nothi.
nothin.
Now, let’s see if Sarah’s most paranoid and fevered imaginings are better or worse than reality!
Sarah loves to play antisocial but she’s actually pretty quick to pick up on her friends habits and is able to pretty quickly figure out a version of what’s wrong (she couldn’t imagine how Dumb Joyce is being right now. Nobody could.)
Wait Jacob scheduled lunch with his brother during one of his classes? That doesn’t seem like him either.
No, he scheduled to meet later in the day. His brother came early, surprising Jacob and giving Joyce a chance to meet him before Jacob did. Let’s see if I can write the reference on my phone :
first panel
(Plays the Sherlock theme.)
(L’s thinking theme overlaps it)
Is your avatar supposed to be the Luggage from Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ novels?
Probably a D&D Mimic, impersonating a treasure chest.
I’ve never knowingly read any of those. It’s what NelC said: a D&D miniature of a treasure chest mimic. I painted it to look like a Heartless from Kingdom Hearts.
YOU NEVER READ SIR PTERRY’S DISCWORLD SERIES?!?!?!?! RECTIFY THIS AT ONCE! AT ONCE!
I second this motion.
There’s like 41 of those books. What you think, I’m made of money? Maybe if Spider-Man is in one, I might feel more inclined to check it out.
Public libraries exist.
Sarah makes a connection…
Be worried, Sarah
“That’s odd. Mr. Smithers left his jacket behind.”
Oh, he left his jacket covering a lead pipe. I wonder if that was on purpose?
Have you ever been to a Circle K? Something is *always* strange.
Sherlock Sarah has some suspects. She need to find a John and go to investigate!
Wouldn’t that get her arrested for solicitation?
Technically, the John would be the solicitor in that situation. Sarah would be . . . things I won’t name for fear of a baseball bat.
But who would be the DoAverse equivalent of John Watson? Ruth maybe?
Dorothy?
They’re both desperately trying to figure out how to disentangle the web Joyce wove…
I mean, Jacob didn’t even say anything to the contrary, so he’s also kind of at fault. Either way, it’s definitely a train wreck that Joyce somehow caused in the span of like, 3 sentences.
Sarah threw a perception check and got a critical role.
She brought this on herself.
SOMEONE’s about to go yandere
That CXC promo…….is the pineapple the slut? or is the pineapple calling me a slut? or is Joyce the slut? wait….ignore that last one.
It has yet to be explained. Maybe some hero will corner DYW at CXC and find out for us.
Is anyone else getting banner ads that are covering about half of the first panel these days? I noticed it first about a week ago, and am confused as to what’s going on; I even turned on adblock to try and get rid of them in order to be able to read the comic I’m here for, but they’re still sticking around and covering the comic!
Not yet; I’m sorry to hear that, it’s so annoying. I was getting huge banners on the right side of the screen covering the last panel — banners that would move around when I tried to close them. Fortunately they seem to have disappeared in the last few days.
Yes Sarah… let your Joyce sense heighten… soon you will be able to sense BEFORE she gets herself in over her head.
Plot-wise, it would be amazing to NOT see what happens with Joyce and Jacob.
Just cut to Sarah finding her in their room. Sobbing.
Clings to Sarah and cries on her shoulder. Refuses to explain what’s wrong.
And Jacob never speaks to her again.
Let our imaginations revel in the horror of what must have transpired.
I do love a good Bill & Ted reference 😀
like the detail that people are still wearing sweater dresses
