        I don’t have any foreknowledge of tomorrow’s strip, but it did occur to me that there is little tension among these three, and that it might be a set-up for them to receive an extraneous shock, such as some news.

        Don’t tell me though. Don’t even tell me whether you can tell me.

          Nonsense. Ethan will be standing in front of the mortuary. He will be escorted down the hall by a policeman to where the body is. The sheet will be pulled back. There will be a panel showing Ethan”s face. And then in the final panel, there on the slab will be Jacob.

          There will be no explanation until a month later.

      Imagine not being able to tease your friends. Besides, it’s not that they want to encourage Sarah to be a social butterfly, or to be anyone other than the curmudgeonly misanthrope that she proudly is.

      It’s okay to make fun of your friends, as long as everyone’s on board with it and no one gets hurt. Sarah’s obviously been on board from being just as teasing as the two of them from the get go.

        The thing is that there is no way to say that you aren’t on board with it. When you ask people to stop, there are always some people who take that as a joke, and always some people who think that they are such good friends, and always someone hears about it who is glad to know of a way to get to you.

        A lot of people just refuse to accept that you might have boundaries in this.

          I mean, Dotty starts out saying they should leave her alone, so her saying they can stay is SORT of a “no it’s fine”

          Sarah getting up and walking away is the “ok stop” vs. the last panel’s “well, I asked for it”

            It’s a reluctant agreement that she would rather put up with the shit they’re going to give her for letting them sit there than with the shit they would give her for saying “no”. It is reluctant permission to give her the shit that the social convention dictated by extraverts says they are allowed to. It is not a freely-given invitation to snark at will. It does not indicate that Sarah welcomes and enjoys their smug extravert bullshit.

            [source: perhaps even more introvert and more exhausted than you are]

        But one side-effect of the Mike thing is that the pace of the strip has slowed down even more. It’s been six weeks to get to lunchtime. Add a couple of cliffhangers like this and by 2075 we will still be at the Christmas break.

        I do think it would be funny as hell if he quietly went in and did that. The strip with Billie’s fake id birth date mentioned above would be the best place to start.

        Of course, the really tricky part is breaking into everyone’s house and updating the paper copies he’s sold. 🙂

    …I can’t help but recall the ominous scene in the film Watership Down, in which Fiver seeks Hazel, who’s disappeared after being shot. Propelled by clairivoyance, Fiver stares deep into the shadowy mouth of a sewer pipe….and faintly hears a slow, damp, heartbeat.

    Bright Eyes, burning like fire…
    How can the light that burned so brightly
    Suddenly burn so pale?

      I’m sure Dorothy is aware. She is very self-aware.

      I’m sure Joyce is aware. She knows that she and Dorothy are soul mates that are meant to be together for ever and ever and ever (in a very platonic way, I’m sure).

    I’m not really sure what delaying the news on Mike is supposed to accomplish besides irritate readers in a “not good” way. There’s no suspense, there’s just a bunch of “why” and not confronting it seems like a cheap way to extend out the story line longer than he needs to.

      Honestly, I hope it’s to piss people. I am perfectly fine waiting. We’ll get there when we get there. I like seeing everyone’s every day life without random drama, we know it’s there, we just don’t normally see it cause that doesn’t make an interesting comic. The only thing annoying about waiting to hear about Mike is every day in the comments there’s at least someone going “where’s Mike?”. The joking ones are okay, if not redundant at this point, the whiny ones not so much.

          Oh yeah…I’m unfortunately aware. At least the chaos it will bring will be entertaining, I hope.

      It may also be that he’s got a particularly good way to handle the return to that plot in mind, but it needs to be later in the day (or night). In that case, the “delay” is a natural consequence of the slow pace of the strip. Can’t just skip over what’s going one with everyone else.

        Semi-seriously , I’m expecting it will come with tonight’s return of Amazigirl. Assuming she ever returns.

          Amazi-Girl returning requires Mike returning alive and well. If Mike died because she failed, that would be it for Amazi-Girl.

          So, no, she’s never coming back. Willis is going to transfer his desire to draw superhero action to Sarah.

      Mike, being Mike, believes his jerkass behavior is a ‘necessary’ thing, that people need him.
      This whole thing is extended proof that life moves on without Mike.

        Nobody needs Mike in the DoAverse. It’s we the readers who need him. He plays (played?) Greek chorus for us.

    Here’s a picture posted to your wall in 2020. Share the memory with your friends!

    *Sarah reposts*

    Sarah: MEH.
    Jacob: Wow, you reposted! And no downvotes or poop emojis? Awww, that’s sweet!

    Looking at these strips, I realise Sarah’s hair has changed. It’s gone from … one round mass of hair with curvy outlines to several longer shapes. (english is not my first language, I don’t know how else to describe it). It’s been happening slowly over her apperances, so I didn’t notice till now.

    The Masked Vigilante was startled to be called by name. Putting his fist down he turns to confront this stranger.

    He is clad in black, a katana is strapped to his back. He bows and removed his face covering mask. “Greetings Mike-san. You can call me…Rick”

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.

Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip. Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons. Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb

hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!

This is the best review I've ever gotten on my clothes. They will make you hot and popular. Find em at rosalarian.com/shop
Text conversation that reads: 
Pink text: i just wore my pervert shirt from your site to a party last night and it was possibly the funniest conversation starter OVER AND OVER. i could have full conversations with someoen about it and then the person literally sitting on the other side of me would look over and go HEY YOUR SHIRT SAYS PERVERT?! just immaculate, best design I've ever gotten and it also scores me a whole subway bench on the train.
Black text: This is exactly the reaction I was aiming for, both at the party and on the subway
Pink text: 100% crit rate
Pink text: i was extremely popular all of a sudden
