    legit tho, spoofers

    BESIDES the scammers targeting brown people on visas (don’t ask me how I know*), there’s also that one time someone called me asking why I called them and I didn’t bc I hate phones and CERTAINLY wouldn’t call a rando and I asked what number called them and it was definitely my number but absolutely NOBODY calls from my phone

    *[ok fine it’s job stuff bc immigration and our brown people from overseas have a proper healthy fear of police]

    also Hank should start playing PoGo like that retired couple taking over EVERY GYM here so that way no one has his phone w/o his knowledge bc GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL

      I doubt it’s spoofers, and I doubt Hank thinks t’s provider issues.

      Well, not complicated spoofers. “Use your husband’s phone to call your daughter” spoofers, however…

        Simple enough, though, for Hank to check the call log on the phone.  Even unanswered outgoing calls will show up … unless Carol has the presence of mind to clear the call log to cover her tracks.

            He looks legit confused in the fourth panel imo. And Joyce-mama side-eyed him then pointedly turned away, which… having watched my parents on the phone before, that’s like EXACTLY the opposite of the usual reaction to calling your daughter’s phone and getting her roommate instead, saying weird things.

            Mama’s been calling a bunch on dad’s phone, hoping dad is more likely to get answered than she is, is my guess. My mom’s pulled that on me before.

            Wife looking at him while trying not to appear to be looking at him.
            He looks at her with a raised eyebrow.
            She looks away.
            His eyebrows go to furrowed / frowning.
            He definitely knows it was her, and is just trying to be polite. It is his wife after all.

              I thought maybe he doesn’t want Carol to know he’s been reaching out to Joyce so frantically.

              Why would Carol repeatedly call Joyce using Hank’s phone? To gush about the “wonderful news” that the church group bailed Ross out with the help of a generous contractor? I presume the Browns still have a landline, so she could have used that.

                Well she has to know that Hank’s the favorite parent at the moment so Joyce is more likely to answer him.

                Also I doubt the landline thing. Even older, stodgier folks aren’t rocking those these days. My octogenarian grandpa doesn’t have one.

                If he doesn’t want Carol to know, he’ll keep his mouth shut – she can’t hear what’s on the other end of the line.

                Carol was probably using his phone to call Joyce because she, correctly, worked out that Joyce wouldn’t pick up if it was her and hoped Dad might have a better chance. If Joyce had picked up, she would’ve gotten a lecture or an emotional rant.

      I had a lot of fun with the one calling me about there being a federal warrant out for my arrest. I kept asking for information to give my local AUSA when I turned myself in at the office. Where my spouse works. They hung up on me.

        I like to string them along (without giving them an affirmative answer) until they hang up. Car insurance? Oh, I drive a ’74 Pinto. Chinese visa scam? You get the Winnie the Pooh theme song. I give the life insurance scammers Tim Allen grunts. Oh, you can lower my mortgage rates? I live in a van down by the river! My business is getting delisted from Google?Do you mean Joe’s U-Kill-’em, We-Grill-’em Crematorium, or Madame Joe’s House of Pain, home of the customer-comes-first guarantee? Replying to every one of their questions with “hello?” with different inflection is a good fallback if you can’t think of a good one.

        My favorite was the time they tried to help me with by 72 million dollars in Diner’s Club card debt, because the scammer was mid-sentence when the call ended. He didn’t realize he was being played, but his supervisor must have.

        I’ve noticed they’ve been calling less lately. Maybe that happens when they’re the ones who hang up.

        Dorothy is right, it is astonishing that Sarah knows how to smooth-talk with anyone on the phone.
        Is this because of the phone keeping him at a distance or because she’s doing it for Joyce?

        Joyce is 18, and Hank is 60, and Carol and Hank went to college together (at least in the Walkyverse).

        How old is John, again? I know the kids’ ages are spread out, but that’s something else.

          Needfuldoer
          February 15, 2020 at 10:04 am | #

          Probably early- to mid-thirties. John was a teenager in the bonus comic where Carol was pregnant with Joyce and they were coming up with names, and she said he’s been out of the house almost as long as she can remember (so probably a decade or more). I kind of assumed he was born either while or shortly after his parents went to college.

          In the same comic, Jocelyne is a toddler speaking short sentences with rhotacism. She’s probably 3-5 years older than Joyce. If she went to IU, she graduated before Joyce started.

          We know nothing about Jordan, but my guess is he’s closer in age to Jocelyne than to John.

      Replaced by herself from an opposite universe. Hank grew suspicious when she turned off Fox News and was caught humming a secular classic rock song.

      Hank’s actually calling Joyce for theological advice; he’d rather keep this version, and isn’t sure if that counts as bigamy.

      Daniel here. I’m thinking the “This is only my second call in as many days” line is to throw Mother Zealot off the fact he’s been trying to urgently contact Joyce for a while. Mother here from memory still doesn’t think Toedad did anything wrong. Hank KNOWS Toedad is a threat to Joyce, Becky and potentially anyone who gets in his zealous way…

            I have heard people’s mobile conversations from a few meters away, having their volume up high. Unless she was trying to give Joyce a “great news, Toedad made bail with the help of a man named {Amber’s Dad}” phone call, “forgetting” Joyce punched Toedad good…

      Agreed.

      At my best guess of what it was…

      So, Carol, you recognize Toedad was enough of a threat to your daughter you wanted to warn her he was out, but you still supported him getting bailed? Well. Isn’t. That. Lovely. (And if it wasn’t that… well.)

          Oh, sure. But she continued calling as him even after she realized that wasn’t working, which suggests she had more than a regular checkin to talk with Joyce about.

          And hasn’t told Hank ‘I tried calling Joyce today several times and couldn’t get her, I even used your phone just to be sure it wasn’t an issue with mine somehow’ or the like. There are ways to spin that that Hank might buy. Which suggests to me she’s keeping it all secret, and has a particular reason to do so. (We don’t know HANK knew about the bail fundraising, do we?)

            But why would he call now while Carol was around, then? Surely he’d be placing the call when Carol was in the other room.

              People do tend to move around their own homes. Started the call while nobody was around, Carol walks in, call finally connects, time for creative wording and walking & talking…

                That seems like a lot of dots we’re supposed to connect on our own. Like it was him who called and he’s lying about how many times he called and his phone volume is loud enough that Mrs. Brown can hear it and she just now walked into the room vs he’s just telling the truth about not being the one who called. I think if she’d just walked into the room or if she could hear the conversation, Willis would have shown that so we wouldn’t all have to make so many guesses, ya know?

Other end of the phone people I can handle (I’ve been yelled at by the best and never responded with more than a polite acknowledgement that I understand their frustration with the situation), but in front of me people? Don’t handle that at all well.

        I’m actually betting on the former, due to his expression of what looks like actual confusion, and her turning away. Usually if you’re overhearing your spouse call your daughter, ask if they’re OKAY, and express confusion? You don’t turn away, you come closer and try to listen to hear what’s going on.

        Also my mom has 100% pulled the “call me from my dad’s phone because I’m more likely to answer for him than her” trick before in the past.

        Think it’s option one myself. Look at the expressions: Hank in panel 3 is more “Wait, what the fuck?” and panel 4 is more “Carol, you got some ‘splainin’ to do.”

          February 15, 2020 at 8:59 am | #

          Yeah, I think that’s still where I’m leaning – Hank could’ve easily gone somewhere he knew he wouldn’t be dealing with Carol if he’s been calling and wants to cover, and what he’s choosing to repeat seem like odd choices if he’s not genuinely confused and figuring it out. We’ll see, but I’m actually inclined to think he might not know about the bail raising – he was absent in the strip where they were talking about it and Blaine came in, and well… I could see that absence being deliberate on the church’s part rather than Hank’s as well.

    Screw Carol with farm implements. Hank knows she’s part of a murder and attempted kidnapping. Well, possibly a murder. Well, a serious injury. And Hank is afraid to let Carol know that he knows as she is the type to axe-murder for Jesus.

      If the latter, Mr. Brown, there’s this little invention called the text. Great for warning your daughter, asking for a call, not a text, for confirmation of receipt, and erasing said text from your own phone afterwards.

      Emphasizing the “been sitting here on the counter since yesterday” definitely points towards it being Carol, since it establishes opportunity.

      If he’d be stealthily doing it, he’d want to keep the phone at hand in case she called back and butt dialing would have been a better excuse if he’d wanted to make one.

        To feel guilt you have to believe that what you did was wrong. She was worried and upset to hear about what happened but also blamed Becky rather than the adult with decades of experience at adulting who deliberately took a gun to a college campus and pointed it at her youngest child. It was an awful situation and all but Ross was motivated by love and concern for his child’s eternal soul.

        And sure yes seeking an early death is bad and all – but dying means you get to party in Heaven with Jesus so Carol would have gotten over it? Maybe? (Not a Christian but the “Only the good die young”/”They were so perfect they’d already earned their wings”/”Nothing to grieve here: they’re in a better place” type comments don’t sit great with me. I can appreciate how they may have been comforting back when having a family with 15 kids where at least 5 of them wouldn’t make it to adulthood was normal, but these days, not so much.)

        But maybe she’s a bit concerned that the dude they helped bail out of jail hasn’t been around since, and she’d like to hear her daughter’s definitely safe?

      Anyone trying to warn Joyce would have sent a text.

    Carman? The singer? Or is this a sign that maybe Hank has a separate persona, like Amber or Josh?

    Y’all, please go see Sonic if you want a good movie experience. I watched it. I loved it. I’m seeing it again. I’ll see it every day it’s out, if I can manage to. Even the duller parts are inoffensive and charming enough.

    Y’all, please don’t go see Downhill if you want to have a good day that’s free of avoidable triggers. You can remember your parents’ messy divorce arguments on your own, you don’t need Will Ferrell’s help. It gave me actual flashbacks to some of the worst times of my life and when I got home, I had an episode and fell asleep without even taking off my coat or belt. It’s not a good time, please take better care of yourself than I did.

    I’m going with Hank didn’t make the calls. He looks legit confused. If he was making the calls then he’s telling a provable lie about where his phone was. No reason to go there. Did mom think about toedad and realize she should remind Joyce to stay away from sinful Becky?

    So, Joyce’s mother has try to call her daughter using her husband phone? Interesting… Maybe she wanted to say to her what stupid thing she has collaborated to done and now there is a dangerous man, associated with another dangerous man, that want to kidnap her best friend and probably doing other very nice things.

    The real only question is has Hank been calling a dozen times to warn Joyce about the Legion of Evil Dads, or has Carol been calling a dozen times to yell at Joyce AND/OR tell her really excitedly that the Legion is coming as though that’s a good thing and tell Joyce to get out of their way?

    I’m on the fence as to whether this is Carol calling or Hank covering for himself, but I do want to think that Carol’s been resistant about switching providers and so he brings this up whenever she’s listening to his phone conversations

    Sarah must be the opposite of me. I have no problems asking a random person for directions, but I HATE phone calls and try my best to avoid them at all costs. I think it’s because I can’t read the other person’s body language over the phone and it weirds my brain out.

Love, Joolz comic
Panel 1
Jules and Blackbird chilling on the couch.

B: But you already have Disaster Bisexual outfits in Animal Crossing. 
Panel 2
Jules attempts to sew a dress in the Pansexual colors.
J: I am not a disaster bisexual. I'm Pansexual.
B: What's the difference? 
J: Getting horny for way more options.
Panel 3
Blackbird flutters agitatedly at Jules, who struggles with the sewing machine. 
B: Jules you're running out of time! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time!
B: We gotta go! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time! 
B: We gotta go! We're gonna miss the march! 
J: It's fine it's fine it's fine it's--
