      I broke my left humerus in a fall about a month and a half ago, and I didn’t think it was all that funny.
      And now that Clif mentions them, I also fractured the left femur as well, seriously enough that it required surgery to implant a rod and a half dozen screws to rebuild everything.

      I mean, Sarah is Joyce’s roommate and also went with her to get copies of the first published strip. It’s a good chance she’s got at least passing awareness of the catchphrase. Particularly if Joyce has touted it to her with typical Joycian enthusiasm.

        Yes but this is a semester removed before she and Walky vied for the cartoon page, so she probably hasn’t been exposed to the graphic adventures yet.

          Again, Joyce is her roommate and an excitable sort. Chances that she hasn’t shown Sarah or talked about her main character are near-zero.

        Headcanon that Joyce constantly does this and it used to annoy Sarah, but then she got to a point where she began to understand the lore and is now invested.

      Sal needs to put her own spin on the character. Change up the catch phrase or make up a new one. Something Joyce can then adopt into the comic.

                Did they frequently make reference to fucking candy? 🤨 I’ve lurked a bit, but the archive goes back far enough that I didn’t feel like scanning every strip’s comments section. I suppose everyone has something that does it for them.

                  Great to see you. Not that I have anything against not candy fucking, I just thought of your kind of humorous comments that are always a pleasure to read.

    This week, the character “Cherry” is featured in the syndicated “Mark Trail” comic strip, seen in many newspapers in the U.S.

    Cherry has Becky’s hairstyle and angular chin.

    See you in court, Mark…
