          Maybe he’s just a guy who’s been drawing these same characters for 10+ years and is a little tired of drawing the same thing every time? And thus wants to mix it up a little?

          I find it refreshing that he is not a lazy artist and has his characters actually change outfits just like people do in any reality where people shop for clothing.

          How many years has Ash Katchum been wearing that outfit? Most kids clothes barely last 6 months, not six years plus.

            I’m far more concerned that the kid hasn’t hit puberty yet. He’s like 23 now. Runt needs to go see an endocrinologist or something.

              Ash hasn’t grown up yet cos he hasn’t evolved yet, maybe humans in the Pokemon world need a puberty stone or something to grow up.

                  Izzy, the reason Joyce is Jugs cos, look at her, the only way someones chest can be that obvious in a sweater is if they were pretty big.

                  I suspected as much but the XP symbol usually means ‘oh god that was stupid’ or something along those lines as far as I am aware.

      I gotta be honest, I LOVE cute girls in sweaters, especially if they fill them out. It’s unfortunate because I live in Florida, and sweaters aren’t really a “thing” here. I’m originally from the Great White North(west) though, where majestic herds of sweaters still roam free.

    I think the phrase “That’s really up to her” is one of the most mature statements I’ve seen in this comic.

      If it weren’t shoving the entire blame for their disagreement onto the other person, maybe. But that’s what it’s doing, so it sounds pretty passive-aggressively immature to me.

        Joyce has been nothing but friendly and accommodating to Sarah. She’s basically saying “The offer of friendship is still on the table, but it’s up to Sarah to accept it.” Joyce has made 99% of the effort. Is it really unfair to expect Sarah to pick up the other one percent?

          The “Are you two going to be okay” wasn’t about their several-days-long relationship; it was about the argument immediately prior. Which Joyce singlehandedly turned from bluntly-phrased concern for Joyce’s well-being (because she really doesn’t have any idea what she’s getting into – see that sweater) into a personal attack on Sarah’s lifestyle. An ill-informed personal attack, to boot, since she has no idea that the reason Sarah stays aloof is because she’s twice shy from being bitten once each time she goes into the cafeteria. And it was solely thanks to Joyce’s personal attack that Sarah angrily discarded her concern for Joyce’s welfare.

          And no the fact that her concern for Joyce is partially driven by a desire to have a peaceful placid roommate doesn’t change the fact that in this argument it was Joyce that set the torch to the bridges.

            You can disagree with someone without it being an attack… Joyce just told Sarah that Sarah’s advice wasn’t very reliable. In point of fact, it really hasn’t.

            It wasn’t an attack. She was simply telling Sarah that Sarah has been quick to judge her incapable of handling herself and wrong and that Sarah’s own wall of anger has left her isolated and unable to build new bridges. And it doesn’t take long to see that’s true. Sarah is friendless due to her own devices; there are more people out there than her ex-roommate’s friends, and she’s made no real effort to reach out to any of the new girls.

            And it wasn’t just “bluntly phrased concern for her well-being.” It was an order not to involve herself with something that might bring back drama to the room. Joyce has a right to stand up for herself.

    Hmm, not entirely sure how I feel about Dorothy’s outfit here. I mean, yeah, it definitely gets the point across, but isn’t the whole wide-collar, short-shorts thing a little retro? I mean, give her a scrunchie and a pair of leg-warmers and she’s got the full set!

    And I care what noone says, Joyce’s outfit is appropriate for the sheer reason that Joyce has the PERFECT figure for a sweater! I mean, seriously, look at her!

            I do wish that the grav could be bigger, 64×64 is pretty damn small concidering that 1280×1024 & 1600×1200 screens are the norm these days.

            I do wish they would allow at least 196×196 gravs if not higher.

    Has nobody made a Francis joke yet?
    Francis. From Left 4 Dead.

    …Francis hates everything but vests. He likes vests.
    Joyce got rid of the vest part of sweater-vest. Therefore Francis must hate her the most.

    Watch it turn out that Joyce’s turtleneck sweater is more appropriate to the party than what Dorothy is wearing. Instead of a sex party, it’s a whole bunch of people sitting around discussing Women’s Rights to Have Sex and whatnot.

      I had a similar thought, and it would be a Willis kinda move, but I’m thinking even if it is a more traditional kind of college party she’s dressed appropriately enough.

      I’m going to laugh my ass off if Beef shows up at this party, especially if it’s as Robin’s bodyguard (and the “party” is a political rally).

    Even with the comic being way up in Indiana and not in Surface-of-the-Sun, Texas, she is going to be sweltering in that heavy turtleneck. It’s September, for goodness sake.

    That being said Joyce has a great set of sweater-puppies.

    And my Sassy Gay Friend side want’s to give Dotty a “What, what, what are you doing?” with those skanky booty shorts.

      The second week of September in southern Indiana it got down to sixty after a thunderstorm. It’s entirely possible for it to be sweater-appropriate weather, given that none of the characters have complained about it being really hot.
