        Exactly. Plus, even if something is your plan – it’s totally different to see it executed so well, without actually (or barely) contributing anything. She could be grumpy because it’s going too well.

        Also she could be jealous (or grumpy with a tinge of jealousy) because of various reasons (e.g. how simple Joyce could enter this friendly banter match up to her being still physically attracted to Jacob), disregarding that something like was her main goal.
        Aaand, she could just be like “guys, toggle it down, will ya?” – it can be pretty awkward to watch two people flirt.

          I’m not sure it’s so much that she’s jealous. Remember she realized the moral implications of her plan and called it off, so the fact that Joyce is still trying to “steal” Jacob away is probably bugging her

          Honestly, given their personalities, I don’t think this is a relationship that’s actually meant to last. Yes, they’re cute together, but their actual lives are almost entirely incompatible and Walky isn’t the sort of put in the effort on his end even if he knew how.

    So I feel like pretty much every character has been drawn extra-adorably lately, but I especially want to give a shout out to Dorothy.
    Like, I do just really like Dorothy in general but I feel like nearly every drawing of her lately has come out great!
    Characters are great, art is great, hope that’s not too weird to randomly blurt out.

      I mean, she’s a part of their friend group (arguably more intertwined to the Joyce block than Walky is) and they all routinely get lunch together. It wasn’t planned necessarily, just part of their normal schedule. Probably to the point where someone would have to be actively uninvited and it would be weird and awkward.

      I mean, Dorothy has been skipping group lunch, but she’s also been skipping meals and the whole breakup’s because she thinks socializing is a frivolity she can’t afford right now. Telling her not to come while she’s inclined to would be like telling Billie while she’s trying to go sober, ‘won’t work, drink yourself into a stupor.’

        It had to have at least been partially planned.
        Jacob is not a regular to their lunch scene and Joyce, at least, knew Dorothy was coming while Sarah either didn’t know, didn’t care, or forgot, considering she was suggesting they get a move on.

        Of course, since Walky didn’t show up to class, there’s always the possibility that they planned on him not being there or that they made the plans while in class.
        But I agree that if Joyce had expected to have lunch with Walky, since she did seem to know Dorothy was coming, that would be kinda shitty of her.

            They talked about it over the bathroom stall.

            Dorothy tried to beg off because of Walky, but Joyce was adamant about reclaiming her time.

              Huh. I completely missed that strip. How’d I do that?

              And yes, that does confirm Joyce being shitty. Dorothy even tries to get her to consider Walky’s feelings, and Joyce just ignores it, which imo is disrespectful to both Dorothy and Walky.

        Yeah, I see it. It’s just the thumb, but because of where it’s placed it’s easy to interpret as a sixth finger.

    Panel three Joyce is just…she’s right that they’re going to have to but damn have some empathy

    I don’t think Joyce could have stated just how little she thought of Walky and Dorothy together but how little shes considering how Walky might be feeling

      She’s definitely not being sensitive to him. Honestly I think it ties back into the same Good Person/Bad Person thing she’s got with Raidah. Like it’s not a big deal if they break up (because Joyce pushes herself into this position), because clearly Jacob is Good and Raidah is Bad and therefore this relationship would never work out and she’s just helping things along.

        Its frustrating (though good drama) watching her blunder her way through social interactions based on a belief system centered around bad tv sitcoms and the bible tells me so

          Oh, totally. I look forward to Joyce breaking this particular mindset once and for all, but it probably won’t be for years. (Though if the Jacob thing blows up sooner rather than later, it’s possible.)

    Clearly, Joyce is secretly The Cheese, and altered reality so Dorothy would walk in front of Walky at the right time to prove her point. Or Willis thought it’d be funny. Either/or

    Walky’s key learning for today is that storming off before hearing the end of Joyce’s warning is probably not the best of reactions.

    So, assuming the next conversation between these two will consist of Dorothy saying something along the lines of she didn’t want to hurt him/he doesn’t need to avoid her/she hopes they can still be friends — how do you think Walky will react?

    A. Tell her he can’t deal with what’s she’s saying?

    B. Go off on her verbally about how she’s tearing him apart (Lisa)?

    C. Stare sadly, possibly tear up, and leave?

    D. Any combination of the above?

    E. None of the above?

      I think it’s A, at least that’s what I imagined him to be like – maybe even interrupt her trying to say anything, saying something himself along the lines of “I don’t really wanna talk. Weell, time for me to leave awkward-town” and then him leaving.

      Judging by their conversations around the pause and the breakup, he’ll be supportive, understanding and won’t admit he’s been hurt – possibly with some of his usual snark to defuse anything that might touch on his feelings, though that didn’t come out in their last meetings.

        Nothing good can come, but it’s necessary that they talk. Awkward silences are more painful and will harm them on the long run. They are humans, not comic chara…. oh damn they are doomed!

Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
