        I *think* I get this one. Not positive, but it’d have to do with not taking a shower, and instead using the sink to wash one’s hair. Girls’ hair is (usually) a lot longer than guys’, and so those long hairs could easily stop up the drain. The problem with this claim is that I’ve done a ton of all-nighters, and I am actually even more likely to take a shower on those days than the rest, since I have plenty of time to take one, and it helps get you refreshed. But if you sleep, there’s the chance that you may oversleep, and miss out on your shower (and this is all only if you usually take a shower in the morning and not at night.)

      Really? I think most college students are pretty open about underaged drinking, at least when only surrounded by other college students. I’ve found that once you leave high school, most people stop caring about the legal drinking age. “Admitting” to underaged drinking in college is like admitting you’re right-handed.

          She is warm and friendly and her SEMME squad is full of people who would totally want to be everyone’s friend because friendship is magic. I think The Other Rachel was part of this squad as well, but currently http://www.joyceandwalky.com won’t load for me, so I can’t double-check.

            Wait, there we go, it works now. (Oh sweet, the fan-operated database search now points to Joyce&Walky too.)

            The Other Rachel was indeed in the same squad as Agatha. She even gets dialogue lines before Rachel does. (Robin was in that squad originally as well, until being transferred to Walky’s. Mike, of all people, was transferred to their squad in exchange.)

            Incidentally, Agatha has had cameo appearances in Shortpacked too, as Robin’s counterpart in McAwesome’s. She’s their “former member of SEMME squad 82 who isn’t Mike.”

        actually…to be fair, the last time joyce directly encountered amazi-girl, she accidentally distracted everyone and let joyce’s attacker get away, so i can see why joyce would be dubious about the coolness level of that particular costumed vigilante type. this would be joyce learning that amazi-girl is actually potentially useful.

      Isnt ‘other rachel’ wearing glasses (which, btw, seems to be a common trait among Willis’ characters)?  Although she is rather young for them, maybe she has progressive lenses — a/k/a no-line bifocals — like I do, and this is the only place in the lens where she has the appropriate correction.

Murdering space Nazis since 1983.
Drawing of an ewok dropping from a tree and impaling a scout trooper through the eye. Another space nazi is getting it through the neck just behind.

today in #9chickweedlane i learned how the strip was originally about 3 generations of women living in one house, before becoming about the intersection of sex and music, and how now it's about how sex easily defeated music, ruling supreme, forever shall it reign

New polling finds that most Democratic voters want the current leaders of the Democratic Party to be replaced, as current leadership has failed to unite behind a coherent message to resist President Donald Trump’s fascist power grab.

If your art style doesn't look completely different from page 1 to 100 is it truly a webcomic

There's a lot of folks who are afraid to start their webcomics because they don't want it to look 'ugly' or don't know if they're ready yet" but... You just need to draw it and have something ugly and potentially 'not ready' That's the secret to starting a webcomic!
