    I feel like the math on this ain’t that hard. They should both know about the protest and Becky should know Jocelyne is there. Use some critical thinking ladies.

      I may be remembering wrong, but I don’t think Joyce or Dorothy were planning to go to the protest before Joyce got a text from her dad with a picture of Jocelyne there. But they could’ve told someone they know as they were heading there.

        I guess we gotta chalk it up to the titular dumb in the title of this comic. Clearly Joyce and Dorothy were repressing too much mutual horniness to think clearly and tell even one friend where they were going. If every character made optimal decisions and had deductive reasoning skills we wouldn’t have a comic.

          Remember, Joyce is worried about Jocelyne being outed. Telling people why Straight and Narrow were going to a protest would’ve been too much opportunity for people to ask questions about why they were going. Furthermore, both are so sheltered that they haven’t really clocked how dangerous the protest might become. After all, it’s not like they’re leaving campus, right?

            Although somehow they knew to leave their phones home. Not sure if I forgot Jocelyne or someone else mentioning that towards the start of this arc but it doesn’t sound like something that would be in their general knowledge base.

      well the text from dad was pretty sudden so i don’t think they would’ve thought to be like “Hey, dad got a pick of jocelyne at the protest so i’m going there to see if she’s ok”, even if they left their phones behind (tho surprise dorothy wouldn’t leave some kinda note but she’s prolly used to not teling becky anything)

        I do wonder why they left their phones. Not saying there aren’t reasons for it, but I’m wondering what their reason was. They may have just thought it was a faux pas, in that phones are cameras and protestors don’t want to be on film. If so, this would fit with their general failure to appreciate the danger before they got there.

          I’m not sure if Jocelyne explicitly told them on panel, but they knew Jocelyne was leaving hers elsewhere and they didn’t understand the reasons for that didn’t really apply to them.

    Ok here’s my prediction

    Tony is going to offer or be asked to to use his dad to call in some favors to get Joyce and Dorothy off the hook and this will implode the relationship with Sarah, in the former because the whole thing is too much moral and ethical ambiguity for them both to stay together, and in the latter because he refuses and the moral and ethical ambiguity etcetera.

      Tony’s dad is literally the face of the university, which is responsible for sending police to arrest everyone.

      There’s two ways this goes: either Tony and his dad don’t see eye to eye, in which case he’d go hero-mode but without his dad’s help, or he’s a chip off the old block, meaning that he’ll figure they had ample time to leave after the policy change, and that they chose to trespass.

      I hope for something different, but my gut is that “Other people suck” Tony isn’t going to be particularly sympathetic.

      It’s kinda just a black top, some pants, and some basic shoes. Sarah’s hot in anything, so this doesn’t really stand out for me.

Happy Birthday Jackie! Jackie Ormes is my #1 inspiration. I had her portrait tattooed on my arm BEFORE I even joined the ranks as a syndicated cartoonist! Check out this comic I wrote and drew for @blackjoseipress.bsky.social's Gladiolus Magazine!
Panel 1: Toon Steenz gestures towards a portrait of Jackie of Ormes
Jackie Ormes is known as the first black woman nationally syndicated cartoonist. And she is also known for her fashion sense! And I'm Steenz! I'm here to tell you all about it!

Panel 2: Jackie works at her desk
From Patty Jo and Ginger to Candy, Jackie made fashion an important aspect of all her comics.

Panel 3: Torchy Togs Paper Dolls Example
Her most stylish star was Torchy Brown

Panel 4: Toon Steenz holds up a newspaper
Torchy Brown had an original comic strip run in the Pittsburgh Courier. In her strip, Torchy was determined to leave her small town Dixie for the big city Harlem

Panel 5: a closeup of one of the Torchy Brown comics
Jackie even took Torchy shopping in a dream before he trip to the big city by drawing her in dressing rooms trying on the latest styles.

Panel 6: Toon Steenz pulled back a curtain to reveal a private party attended by Jackie and guests.
Jackie took another step into the world of fashion in the early 1940s when she started writing and reporting for the Chicago Defender. She had a column called

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.
