        These strips go up at midnight in my timezone. It’s a week night and I have work in the morning.

        I do NOT need to be up at three with thirty tabs open, trying to find an exact quote from an episode of The Golden Girls I vaguely remember because I want to add an example to a maddeningly specific trope.

          He’s a stuffy dweeb with a big mouth and no sense to help him keep that mouth shut. And his dick looks funny, can’t trust a guy with a funny-lookin’ wiener. Who knows what sort of European devilry and secrets he’s hiding in there?

        True story:

        I went to grad school in Kentucky for reasons. Canada is too far for the “girlfriend in Canada” line but they have a local equivalent, “girlfriend in Ohio.”

        Which is all fine except for the part where I actually did have a girlfriend in Ohio, and I don’t think anyone, not one single person, ever believed me about that.

      Yoto, you can’t casually drop the fact that you’re the first person brave enough to call Carol a milf and then not follow up, I literally respect you more than the armed forces.

      You know what? You’re right, she’s got a horrible…everything, but the moms of the cast deserve the yotomoe treatment too and she’s clearly the source of a lot of the aforementioned joyce genes

          Yotomoe I would lay my body down on barbed wire at D-Day so you could crawl over safely.

          I’m honestly disappointed we didn’t get to see more of Stacy getting to be a cougar on the prowl especially because IMO she’s the only one of the moms to show up in one of the slipshines, right? But….Carol IS single now, i’m just waiting for her to become one of those wanna-be conservative outrage merchants online who posts long rants in their car about how the liberals ruined her marriage but she’s only popular because of the Brown family genetics. I’m kind of horrified but delighted at the idea of Carol having a post-divorce midlife crisis and becoming a way less modest cougar.

      Hasn’t Asher made a couple of appreciative comments about Walky’s appearance lately? Who knows, maybe he’d be down.

      As for Jason, I think it’s pretty clear he’s going to do whatever Ruth tells him to. Ruth may have misinterpreted the “and Subs” on the sign outside, but she still found what she was looking for.

    Interesting that Jennifer decided to come back to check up on Joyce the same day

    Gives her a chance to learn that it’s not the birth control she was unnerved about after her appointment (if Joyce is awake and decides to share about the referral with Jennifer)

      Once you’ve gotten to the point where the phrase “I’m not being defensive” needs to be pulled out, there are 3 options: Everyone Laughs, Roll Credits; Slug it out and let the victor be Correct; Sloppy makeouts on the Starbucks table and let the victor be Correct.

      It’s been long enough to where I remember someone (Joyce? I forget) being weird about her hooking up with a dude despite Ruth being pretty clear about being bi. In fact, I thiiiink Jennifer was suggested to be her first girl she’s been with.

      In any case, I think it’s been like a week-ish maybe, but the time table in this comic can be a little tough sometimes.

    A reminder that everything Ruth’s said is just as awkwardly said by someone who actually is largely over an ex as it is someone who is in no way, shape or form over an ex.

      Thank you. I need all the positive vibes I can get. I’ve got a job application due in 2 hours. I know I would rock the house with this job and I’m overqualified and it’s even a pay cut (comparatively speaking) but it would get me out of a job where I feel afraid for my safety. And my AuDHD brain is f-ing terrified to put all my skill on 4 pages and press “send”.

      So thank you for the Dragon Ball Z energy. It’s helping already.

        AuDHD, PTSD, TBI, RS, RSI… all the stuff that makes me feel self-doubt in my abilities, even though I know I’m a capable badasse.

          (Oh and by the way, I’d advise not to disclose of Autism or ADHD to an employer unless you need to, it could lead to pay cuts and other not so pleasant surprises, just a little heads up 😉)

          I also have the brain worms which make me think very little of myself, and then I go to an interview and they finish up by begging me not to accept another offer until they get back to me; later that day I wrote my summary life story here and it sounded totally awesome. Don’t listen to the brain worms, they are full of lies!

            Not unless they’re alien parasites like me 😛

            Eating those other wormy buggers is part of my niche 😋

            Thank you, Deathjavu and NG! I will hold fast to that knowledge. Nom, nom, nom, I will chew up ALL the brain worms. I eat them all up, and they are DELICIOUS! Yum, yum, yum… They will never bother me again (for now).

            I appreciate your support.

              Wait YOU’RE eating them? That’s the OPPOSITE of what you’re supposed to do, now I have to do even more work eating them (but more opportunities to get them to taste better, so thanks anyway? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

                Speaking of which, did you make that egg drop soup in the end? It takes a few tries to get the perfect soup/time/power ratio down. A little rigorous experimentation, as Dina might say.

        I know you’ve probably done what you need to do by now, but my favorite tricks for writing resumes or whatever is to either pretend I’m writing it about someone else (I can describe someone else more positively than I’d talk about myself) or pretend I am a super snooty noble elf describing exactly why these commoners would be lucky to have me deign to work for them.

      I missed the deadline for electronic submission but I can still submit a hard copy in a few hours. I am so grateful for my cheering squad!

        Hope you get the job! With your hard copy. After being given a D. Uh… Ok, that, uh…

        Anyway, you only think it’s a paycut because we’ve been conditioned to think that the only thing of value is money. “Cutting down on stress levels” (which I presume will happen, since you’re no longer afraid for your safety) has a great many health benefits. I’ve seen invoices from US healthcare. You might actually be making more of a profit out of this change.

        Best of luck!

          That’s a great way to look at it, JBento! Thank you for that valuable insight! You are ABSOLUTELY right. I can figure out ways around money. I can’t figure out ways around health. Got that right for sure.

          And I didn’t say, “Gimme SOME D.” ;-D I meant as in, “Gimme a D! Gimme an R! Gimme an A! Gimme a G! Gimme an O! Gimme an N! Gimme an S! What does that spell? DRAGONS! Gooooo… DRAGONS!”
          (At least, that’s what I assume cheers sound like. They probably don’t. But that’s what they sounded like 40 years ago in popular conception, IIRC.)

          Thank you for the chuckle and the advice, JBento.

    I don’t think Jennifer care about that, at least right now. I feel so sorry seeing Ruth so desperate to say that to her. Maybe Joyce is really Jennifer’s best friend right now, for better or worse.

    I really really miss Jennifer and Ruth together.
    really early on they did enable each other’s bad impulses and vices but after that they complimented each other and kept each other strong through their struggles with daily life and their addictions.

    plus, their personalities work wayyy better together than Ruth with blonde pencil neck or Jennifer with personalitieless future mod boss

    The freckles on Ruth’s arms are really cute~ Also that shade of yellow Jennifer always wears is like my favorite shade of yellow, not quite butter, not quite daffodil, just a bright lil pastel sunshine :3
