            Puffins aren’t penguins, or closely related at to them at all, so the jury is still out on that.

              “The fresh heart of a puffin is eaten raw as a traditional Icelandic delicacy”

              This is what I learned when I tried to follow up on your genetic referencing.
              That is all.

                Given his recent passing, it’s worth remembering Pratchett’s definition of “local delicacy” – something to repulsive to export, that you then trick tourists into eating.

        Or, trying to provoke an earnest response. Sometimes, you need to argue things out. But, if one person refuses to be contrary, how can you have an argument?

          Or just going for the same reaction she got yesterday before she came out to her. Being gay makes everything different. Everything

          This! I really don’t see why this is apparently so hard for people to understand.

          Becky was expecting her to be a little anger that she threw herself at her and, as far as she knows, ruined her relationship. In a lot of ways the way Joyce is reacting is just as harmful because she’s not treating Becky as her best friend but like a wounded animal that needs taking care of.

            March 16, 2015 at 9:40 am | #

            To call genuine care and concern “just as harmful” as anger and aggression is startling. As someone who HAS come out to a very religious family, let me tell you…nothing that Joyce has done even APPROACHES how harmful their reactions were.

            Even when it’s confused and directed weirdly and upsetting, I would still take “oh poor baby” over some of the nasty things I’ve heard.

              Yeah, I think both Joyce and Becky are making things better for the other. Even if there is some friction – and good lord, who could have ever expected something else? – they both learn and grow and – maybe most importantly – stay friends. None of them doubt the full support of the other for a second, and for good reasons.

              It’s quite beautiful, actually.

        Ooh, Becky should get piercings next. And tattoos. Then suddenly she’s so cool that Sal starts hanging out with her.

        Joyce sees this and decides that being a lesbian makes Sal want to hang out with you, and if she ever wants to get a motorcycle ride she needs to switch teams. That’s when the real crisis of faith begins.

        In my experience, outside of theater, film, and graphic storytelling, people don’t ACTUALLY stare each other down when speaking [romantic involvements or professional conduct aside]. In fact, they usually tend to eye their food, the salt shaker, the painting on the wall, their hand..

        YMMV, but that felt pretty natural to me, especially given the context of cramped booth + needing to give a hug = shoulder-hug = not much room for facing each other. ;P

          Well, there’s “not constantly staring at someone in a casual setting” and then there’s “not being able to look someone in the eye for various reasons”, and the vibe I’m getting from both is the latter. Becky is remorseful over turning Joyce’s life upside down (this is not how she wanted to rock Joyce’s world.) Joyce is remorseful over having, for her whole life until today, bought into the mindset that basically dehumanizes a category of people that turns out to include her second favorite person (next to Jesus.) Becky is sorry to have burst the bubble that Joyce has come to realize is a terrible bubble.

          That’s why it can be weird to sit across the table from someone on a date. It’s way less awkward to sit at the bar. You can turn toward each other if you like, but you can also not face each other without it being awkward or rude.

    Now I’m imagining something like Hot Pockets, except sushi. So I guess they wouldn’t actually be hot.

    Dammit, every night at 12:01 I go to this site and get reminded that sushi exists, and I can’t have any because there are no 24 hours sushi joints around here.

      The way I see it, Joyce *is* angry at Becky. Becky made her realize that her views on sexuality were wrong, end things with her boyfriend, get chewed out by Roz, and put her in a position that can potentially incur the wrath of her family and community, and also jeopardize her education.

      However, Becky is so much more important than any of that that Joyce would rather take all of that than cut herself off from her best friend. She’d rather face the reality of her situation than live with comfortable lies where gay people are just “others” and she can un-gay her boyfriend. She’d rather be wrong about everything she’s ever learned in life than turn her back on Becky.

        I don’t believe she’s angry at Becky, because she literally has nothing to be angry at her about. Contrary to Becky’s belief Joyce broke up with Ethan before Becky spoke up, so that’s not her fault. Becky showing up and moving in is Becky’s father’s fault. Becky being unable to pay for dinner is…Becky’s fault, but Joyce isn’t even paying for that and that would be way too petty to hold against her.

        All the other things you listed aren’t Becky’s fault; they’re decisions Joyce made herself, and Joyce blames herself for them. That’s why she’s moody; she’s unhappy with herself, and not deflecting any of that as anger at Becky.

          Eh, Becky may not be to blame for any of those things, but the fact remains that if Becky hadn’t shown up at Joyce’s door a day ago, Joyce could have continued dating Ethan and lived in blissful ignorance a little longer.

          Becky has done nothing wrong on this score and Joyce knows that and isn’t taking her frustration out on her as a result. But emotions often don’t listen to logic. I think it’s a bit naive to say that she’s not feeling a bit resentful at being made to deal with all these issues.

            Except she’s not acting resentful.

            As I said, I believe she’s on a (somewhat justified) self-blaming kick, and as such rather than deflecting blame onto Becky as anger she’s keeping it all for herself.

            Actually it would be interesting to see an ‘alternate universe’ where Becky didn’t show up. After all, Joyce did have the genders studies class where she learned some facts about the hardship of homosexuals. This would have happened even if Becky didn’t show up. And Joyce isn’t necessarily a bad person.

            Having Becky around did personalize the problems homosexuals face, but its possible that Joyce might have got there on her own once she knew the facts.

              I’m pretty sure Joyce was eventually heading to the same realisations about gay people, even without Becky being there. But Becky’s appearance sure gave an urgency and weight to the situation – and forced Joyce to deal with her conflicting ideology much faster than she was prepared for.

                Which, of course, is why she showed up. What with the glacial rate this story moves, it would take years, if not decades, for Joyce to reach this point without Becky.

        Joyce’s looks are good, but the garbage that used to frequently come out of her mouth negated that (and then some) pretty often. Lately she’s behaving less horrible, so it’s allowing her positive attributes (physical and personality-wise) to shine through.

          Oh, she’s totally adorable, but personally I usually can’t get past the Creationist aspect. The few I’ve met in real life (that I’m aware of), my knee-jerk reaction is to just throw my hands in the air and walk away, and not waste my time bothering with them, because I feel very strongly about science, being as it’s, you know, provable. Don’t have a problem with religion per se (I consider myself a very religious person myself); but I do have a huge problem with people deliberately ignoring solid facts.

          Honestly, if it were up to me, having the judge or a juror being a Creationist would be grounds for declaring a mistrial, because they’ve already proved themselves to be incapable of impartially and logically weighing evidence.

          Sorry, Joyce; you’re good people and have a good heart; but that bit’s a deal-breaker for me. :/

        Let me enlighten you, then. You take an individual size chip bag (the ones I’ve encountered use fritos, but doritos or something would probably work just as well), stick your meat, cheese, whatever other taco fixings you’re partial to inside, grab a spoon, then walk around while holding/eating it. It’s pretty much a fair/sports venue sort of food. My experience with it consists of the local bowling alley. Personally, they’re not really my thing (mainly because I don’t much care for fritos), but people seem to like them.

    Still, even though they are best friends…and Joyce is giving Becky credit for ‘fixing things’, I don’t think that Joyce is changing her world view for Becky.

    If she is than she’s learned nothing.

    Joyce is changing her world view for her self, because of things she sees about Becky’s circumstances: she seems to be realizing she has been living in a bubble all her life. And that bubble is the slanted world view her parents and schooling surrounded her with.

    I don’t see where ‘giving up Becky’ or changing her world view have anything to do with each other.

      I give my friends credit for making me see that they were suffering because of a book I discussed on Sunday mornings. Though Becky’s not the only reason for change, she is the catalyst.

    Its interesting. Despite the hug and words there is still a big distance there in that reconciliation, neither are looking at each other. Joyce is doing the right thing by her friend, but I wonder that she isn’t being completely honest with her feelings. It’s OK to be angry or upset with your friend even if you are trying to support them. Yet again Joyce is stuffing and denying her feelings, like she has with the attack, and I think if she doesn’t confess, she’ll break.

      Let’s hope she doesn’t break somebody else in the process… but I can see she’s bent on bottling it up. She’s not going to confess until she breaks down.

      But maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Who knows.

        Given that Joyce told Ethan that it’s okay to ‘stop pretending’, I doubt she’s going to be okay with whatever you’re suggesting.

        The funny thing is this whole fiasco might actually wean Joyce off boys for a while – between the Ryan incident and having to let both Ethan and Becky down, Joyce might be done with romance for the short term.

      Does one ever really get over these things completely? I still think about a woman I fell for in high school nearly twenty years after graduating. I’ve moved on with my life, and haven’t heard anything from her in nearly a decade (and I only heard from her then due to the freakiest coincidence of my life to date). Becky will move on, yes, but her attraction to Joyce will almost certainly still be there.

      As for mixed signals, I don’t think there’s anything mixed happening at all. Becky and Joyce are very good friends, and that level of intimacy is commonplace to them. Might Joyce’s arm around her cause Becky’s heart to speed up a tad? Yes, but I don’t think it will have too much of an effect on Becky’s ability to move on.

    Pocket Sushi is smaller and less heavily armored than regular sushi, but is faster and carries the same size main guns. It was created as a response to the Washington Sushi Treaty (also known as the Five Sushi Treaty) which limited the size and number of regular sushi in the post-WW1 era.

    Becky’s worry and frustration is understandable, but she’s missing one important piece of the puzzle. Joyce was not doing swimmingly before she came. Joyce was scared, frustrated and increasingly worried about how to reconcile her expanding world-view with her religious beliefs. She had endured traumatizing experiences and made some pretty dumb decisions. It was increasingly clear that she couldn’t go on as she had. Something had to change, she prayed for answers.

    And she got them.

    Not broke. Fixed.

    Or just to take a concrete example. 24 hours after Joyce asked God for a sign about what to do with her relationship with Ethan she broke up with him, to her own, Dorothy’s and the readers sigh of relief. Becky is making things better just by being Becky (OK, Roz helped to, but I don’t think she would take it kindly if I call her an angel).

    Aren’t Joyce and Becky facing the wrong way relative to how they’re seated? Or can they simply to stand to look one another in the face during this exchange? I’m assuming they are facing the wrong way, and that it was a simple and easily forgiven mistake by Mr. Wilis

      Nope — they’re looking away from each other, at least physically. They’re both emotionally raw here and avoiding the hit that would come from looking right at each other. As someone else said, this is more how most real people have conversations, as opposed to the staredown that Hollywood and Broadway seem to love.

      Now, there’s some possible *symbolism* in panels 2 and 3.

Hard-hitting analysis from NYT. As you can see from the diagram, legal impediments are a weak gray box that can be defeated by a strong orange arrow and bold typeface Gift article (but it’s bad) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
NYT: “In Firing Watchdogs, Trump Sidesteps Laws and Moves to Expand Power, By Elena Shao May 22, 2025
President Trump summarily dismissed more than a dozen members of independent oversight bodies during his first two months in office, defying typical procedures and federal laws that say presidents cannot remove certain officials without good cause, like misconduct or neglect.”A diagram shows Trump’s head on the left and symbols denoting nine federal agencies on the right, connected by a faint gray arrow going through a text box reading “Should issue notice citing cause for firing.”
An orange arrow makes 90-degree turns to go up, over, and down the other side of the gray box, captioned “Sidestepping typical procedures,” as if the whole thing was a diagram of a football play.
