    No, Joe, no. You’re risking an encounter with an angry Sarah.* The better approach would have been to text Joyce asking to meet for biology, and if anyone thought it was suspiciously early you could have reminded her of the time she had you dragged out of bed because it wasn’t early enough.

    * Because dealing-with-Joe-Sarah is Angry-Sarah by default, that’s why.

      I’m not sure Richard’s problem was ever so much “going steady” as it was “remaining faithful once in such a relationship,” but if Joe believes Richard is actually doing that this time, I could see that impacting Joe’s thoughts on himself.

      This is rather adorable; I honestly believe that this is the first time, in his life, where he is trying to form an actual relationship, rather than a sexual conquest.

    But there never seems to be enough time,
    To do the things you want to do, once you find them!

      wow i love this! the linework, the posing, the subjects (<3)

      in-comic, we don't often see malaya express emotions outside of their usual palette of annoyance and indifference – but the roller derby scene showcased a very confident, in-their-element malaya. i can totally imagine them just leaping for marcie after a great drill.

      Very nice! Even the hands are convincing, and great personality and movement. PS Everyone reading this, it’s safe for families although possibly the “next panel” in the action might not be.

      I also love this. Love fan art by a real artist. I bet original creators like seeing other peoples takes on their character.
