    Are both sarah and dorothy not allowed to be happy at the same time? Is that how this works?

      Sarah’s happiness being inverse to the happiness of others is canonically a Comedic Law of the Dumbiverse.

      So, not necessarily Dorothy, but SOMEONE has to be going through it in order for Sarah to have a good time.

        I wonder if there’s something similar governing Daisy’s ability to get laid. Or is her lack of sexytimes just a universal constant?

          I like to think that Daisy’s constantly getting it on with a long line of lady suitors. She’s just _that_ horny that she comes across as a desert dweller.

          I was rooting for Daisy/Alice for a long time because I figured the only way Daisy notched a romantic win is if someone else was taking a massive loss like “boss’s new girlfriend is your ex who hates you”

          Now that Alice and Jennifer are on good terms again I don’t think that balance shakes out in Daisy’s favour anymore though

        Brace yourself, it’s a time travel plot which can get real hard to follow and also the main characters can get kind of edgey

    This feeling is the best. When you can just be yourself and they can be the self and it’s easy. I didn’t get much sleep the last time I slept like this but I’ve been running on the feeling for three weeks now. Like, yeah, just let it be and it’s all fine.

    I know because this is a never ending comic that Sarah’s eventually going to fuck this up for drama, but sincerely, she kinda needs a break and to enjoy being in a functional relationship where she doesn’t have to make any difficult moral choices, where she doesn’t need to feel liek the mentor, where she doesn’t have to avoid anyone due to their toxicity, where she doesn’t have to put up with manchildren.

      Actually, I can see Tony fucking this up because he hates buffoonery, and all of Sarah’s friends are buffoons.

      So I can see a moment where Tony hits her with the “Sarah, you’re better then this, you don’t need these kind of clowns in your life.” And Sarah being all “My friends *are* my life. And also clowns.”

      I don’t THINK Tony has shown he’d pull the ultimatum card though. So it could be fine.

          Sarah’s friends aren’t the “actively going out of their way to intentionally harm others” kind of buffoons, so maybe he’ll put up with their antics.

        I don’t think Tony rolls like that.

        Tho he is friends with Biff who is the least buffoon person on campus so who knows.

        He was already shown to be annoyed by Walky so that’s something he and Sarah can bond on.

      Raidah is going to try destroying this and honestly I’ll be pissed if she succeeds. I’m okay with this fizzling out because young relationships often hit the “actually we don’t want the same things in life and that’s okay”, but I would like for it not to be some huge drama. I agree with Envy that Sarah being in a positive romantic relationship is territory that has plenty of space to be narratively interesting.

        I’m having a hard time coming up with a situation where Raidah has any leverage, since (as discussed by GholaHalleck) Tony hates buffoonery, and Raidah is a world champion at her specific style of buffoonery.

        (also, nice name. =P)

        she can try, but fucking with the dean’s son might be worse for her plans then fucking over Sarah.

        I *do* think that Sarah standing up for her doofs would probably earn Tony’s respect for them, and even more for her, for standing up for them.

        (Also thanks Z, in case you see this.)

      It’s interesting to me that they’ve been together for like 5 minutes and we’re already wondering how this will be ruined. Other couples have been together and happy for longer. Becky and Dina, Sal and Danny. Why do we think Sarah and Tony will naturally ruin a good thing? Couple stability and functionality has been about 50/50 so far and most of the failed ones involved Walky.

      • Mr. Random

        Mostly because Sarah’s default state is frowning.
        Becky has the whole “mask of wackiness” but in standard contexts, she’s happy. Even if we know she’s a little sad inside. So the default for long-running strips is to maintain that “happiness” or make it real.
        Wheras with Sarah… we’re used to having her frown. So the question is, what will eventually lead her tk frown AGAIN.

        Because those other couples have a “will never break up” side of the couple.

        Danny’s not ever breaking up with Sal, and Danny will never do anything that Sal would see as a deal breaker.

        Becky and Dina have ONE potential upcoming sore spot. and its only a potential, and it would need Becky to take the worst possible reactions to Joyce and Dotty’s possible bisexuality. (They both fall on the scale, but I legit thing Dotty is more into ladies then dudes, she’s just repressed it because of location and Joe’s dumbass teenager bullshit.)

        Other then that, Becky and Dina just don’t have any course edges to cause a break.

          If Danny says something out loud about Marcy that he meant to just think, it could be a potential trouble spot. We haven’t had any foreshadowing of that though.

      Neither of them does something severe enough to be called “fucking it up”, just some friction. They date for a while but decide to amicably split because Tony is 0% nonsense, and Sarah is 20% nonsense.

    I really dig these two.

    Further, I do love that Willis keeps a lot of balls in the air, so to speak, like I feel like a great balance is had in juggling who is dealing with hard things, who is savoring some happiness, who is anxious, etc. It keeps things interesting.

    Man, I really like Tony and hope he and Sarah stay together for a while. But it’s also nice knowing that even if they don’t, Tony’d probably be a reasonable adult about it.

    Or, y’know, I hope so. Law of Entertainment Media dictates that he could very well be a hidden shithead and subvert my hopes and expectations.

    I do wonder what Tony’s whole deal was. In the Walkyverse his whole deal was he was deeply tortured by his past and stuff i can’t help but think that’s the case here and he has a past deeply full of Bullshit but not quite on the same level. I really wonder what kind of dynamic he’ll bring to the cast i can’t help but feel that despite resistance he’ll get caught up in the crews nexus of bullshit and if he does i think he’ll end up being the team dad in a way.
    Also we’re seeing more connections to the lyrics of only exception here…

      My guess would be he’s used to people being fake towards him because of who his father is and then because of his sports skills. Which has become a stronger aversion for that nonsense.

      I’m hoping he won’t mind their nonsense too much because its at least authentic.

        If the ouroboros is growing it cannot be because of net positive digestion system. Now, we can handwave that the ouroboros doesn’t shed or evaporate and that its digestion is a 100% closed loop, that’s fair enough, but somehow the ouroboros must gain mass. So the only possible conclusion is that the ouroboros has photosynthetic skin.

    …d’Okay, who’s up for a game? Anyone?

    Here’s the question:

    Q. What is written or depicted on those pillows? Any guesses?

      …I mean, yeah, they mostly just say “Indiana University,” or show the school flag symbol, but I mean…

      … if they DIDN’T have that on them.

      My vote is for a teddy bear face with a caption that reads, “I wuv you beary much.”

      What else?

        A old teddy bear with a missing eye and a lot of patches, gifted to our Tony when he was a wee thing. It has a little pocket to tuck your PJs in, and he still uses it.

          the star supplies energy to all life on your planet whilst slowly killing you, but unless you have a replacement lined up I’m afraid it’s a caveat ya just gotta live with

            We’ll do whatever they did in Letter Bee. And if we really really need a sun, there’s still kings around for some reason. We can do what we should have done with them anyways and get a new sun.

      He looks angry all the time, that’s what is going to save her from spiralling – she can always pretend to herself that he might be upset with her about something and worry about that, and a mind occupied by such worries cannot spiral in a the-universe-won’t-let-me-be-happy fashion.

    that is SO many pillows
    did he just have these or did he run out to the campus store to buy more because sarah likes them? would explain why they seem to be college merch.

    not to get gender all over this (it’s icky stuff) but relatively few dudes like that many pillows

    I’m spinning the “Wheel of Future Trauma” to see how on earth Willis could turn this wonderful situation into something that will cause us all grief, misery, and emotional anxiety.

    SpinnnnNNnnnnnnnnNnnnnnnnNNnnn,…

    It says… “Their parents are prejudiced fucks.” Well… maybe. We’ve seen all of ten minutes of Deany McDeanface, I wouldn’t put it by him, but that doesn’t seem to be the vibe.

    SpinnnnNnnnnnnNNnnnnnNnnn….

    How about, “They belong to a cult and don’t realize it until its too late.”? Um… I suppose it COULD work, but let’s try again.

    SpinnnnNNnnnnnnnNNNnnnNnnn….

    Alright, third time’s the charm. It says, “You are a horrible person and don’t deserve to be happy, and will drag yourself down to prove it.”

    …….. goddammit.

    Sarah’s going to hit the eject button eventually because she feels safe, and secure, and loved, and so inherently that means that she’s unsafe and insecure, right? She wanted a fuckboy, she got a boyfriend, and that wasn’t what she wanted at all.

    Oh, wait, no, I was wrong; it actually landed on “mauled by a flock of chickens.” Which makes sense. They’re modern day velociraptors. Just awful.

    On the one hand there’s a clippedness to this that feels a little distressing compared to some of the other relationships. But on the other hand, this also feels kind of like a conversation my partner and I might have, and that’s honestly reassuring
