      She sure is fast to whip out the negative, accusatory tone and language for everyone she encounters – and for of all things, THIS?

      She’s ready for a white coat escort into a straight jacket.

        Is Westville still open? They used to send them there – and up until 1976, sterilize them as well (rather than use medication, to prevent it “spreading” even though the cause may have been environmental, not genetic!).

        Indiana was REAL progressive in that regard. They are still paying off lawsuits for bipolar 15 year olds with disconnected nads (or removed- either sex) when all they needed was Lithium.

        One of those crud MDs went on to teach at Univ of FL, believe it or not, as faculty in In-Patient Psychiatry.

            I like that. Help me out with a clearer definition. I love the term. Is the grease already ultra-oxidized (rancid)? Where is it from? “Fries with that?” or ‘emo-hair’?
            .
            Finally… you must equate “crushed optimism” with something! Perhaps “Colorado Oysters and a rusty meat hammer” ?? Humpty Dumpty after the 3rd day yelling at turkey vultures? I must know the “essence!!”

      Sarah has interacted with Amazigirl before (in a situation where Sarah was herself administering some vigilante justice), and if no one was hearing about some weirdo who goes out at night in a jumpsuit before august chances are they’re freshmeat.

        More to the point, Sarah had the situation firmly in hand, when Amazi-Girl’s showboating allowed the guy who assaulted Joyce to escape. As far as Sarah is concerned, Amazi-Girl is a menace.

              It was also completely valid. Being acquainted with someone requires current knowledge of them. When you stop speaking to people this knowledge falls out of date as soon as they change in the few ways you knew them.

        Well, Sarah, at least, seems to be more comfortable around Ethan. She used to be too shy to talk to him. Now she talks about vibrators with him, and in today’s comic, she put her hand on his chest. She may not realize it, but they’re in some sort of a relationship.

          Jacob, not Ethan. And I dunno, for one thing, I read that gesture as her waving him off, not necessarily making contact. And there’s a huge gap between “comfortable enough hanging out to have momentary physical contact” and “in a relationship”.

            The shadow for Sarah’s hand is further down on Jacob’s torso, so she is not touching him. I put that there so it would be apparent she is not actually touching him, for the record.

      Right now, their relationship is dissing another person. I’m kinda thinking it’s not going to last very long anyway.

            I fucked up. The DJ I was referring to, with whom a running gag was Joe’s refusal to acknowledge his ludicrous existence, was actually from another universe and also the future. So that joke made even less sense than it already would have.

          I think Sarah sees right through the costume, hence the quote marks around “Amazi-girl” in Psychoqbal’s link. So when she says “You’ve got a lot of nerve pulling this”, Sarah is referring to Amber’s outrage at Ethan using a fabricated identity – it’s a bit hypocritical to follow that up by running around pretending to be some else.

      If you want to see when 2+ characters were tagged together, enter a URL like this: http://www.dumbingofage.com/tag/amazi-girl+sarah/ The 3 strips around Roofiegate and these 2 are the only times they’ve been “on screen” together.
      The 14 comics where *Amber* and Sarah have been tagged together are: I.1 Opening floor meeting (3), II.3 Cafeteria (2), III.3 Another floor meeting (1), III.4 Meeting Mrs. Warner (1), IV.1 The table flip (7).

      Either the “You let that rapist get away” or “Whoa there, tiny thunder” (if Sarah sees through the disguise and doesn’t call her out because she just doesn’t give a fuck) would be a perfectly reasonable bad experience from “last time we spoke”.

        It baffles me that Willis hasn’t implemented a search function that allows you to just search the archives for multiple tags at once.

        I’m sure he probably has a good reason why he has it set up the way it is, but it really makes searching the archive for certain strips a pain. I had to cycle through like 10 pages of strips with Joe in them looking for the Wingman comic the other day because I couldn’t remember the date for it, and I didn’t know about the trick you just posted.

      It’s still her fault. If she wanted to help she should have stayed back and watched him instead of announcing herself and drawing all attention. Hell, the best thing to do would have been to call the police or stay out of it entirely since she has no actual authority.

    Seriously, Sarah?  Tossing you under the bus?  No, a couple of freshmen in the wing saw you drawing a dong (granted, in jest) on Joyce’s whiteboard and said so.  Amazi-Girl then took that information and followed up on it in her own heavy-handed style.

    You are carrying around one hell of a persecution complex because of how some people feel about what happened with your roommate last year.

    Sarah’s got a legitimate grievance with Amazi-Girl, but I hope her lack of a “no” isn’t a hint of her being guilty. Also, major persecution complex, much?

    • Swerve

      August 4, 2014 at 8:35 am | #

      Her lack of a “no” is pretty much her major persecution complex coming into play.

      But Sarah wouldn’t deny anything anyway. See from my time spent in space with a bunch of ne’er-do-wells (also known as the Kimia Station; zing!) I learned that there’s a way to deny something without actually denying it on the record. Such as lying to get on the Ethics Committee; no one’s going to fess up to Emirate Xaaron about that! But saying no outright, can lead to greater scrutiny. So you invent ways to lie: “I have an alibi.” “Swerve is my alibi.” “Do you really want me to open my briefcase?” “I was on Ark 42 overseeing the installation of hull plating.” “I was reading the latest “Wreckers: Datalogs”.” “Briefcase!” Etc.
