        Hang on, didn’t Mike drive her to this party?? Hopefully she was only planning to walk with Dina…

        Maybe we’ll luck out and she’ll at least get caught WITH Mike? I’m pretty sure Blaine would LOVE to get his hands on Mike as well, considering their history, so maybe having both of them would distract him just enough for them to do something to fight back/get away?…

          Okay, why do I keep thinking Mike *drove* to the party? o.O

          Mike, Amber, and Dina all came together to the party. Presumably, they did in fact walk, since Becky’s apartment is fairly close to campus and the only one I know of with an actual motor vehicle is Sal and her bike.

          So yeah, that leaves us with a potentially super vulnerable Amber and Mike if they leave together (which they hopefully will), but at least Dina won’t be there, since Toedad would definitely recognize her and flip. (Although she handled him pretty fiercely last time, it might actually be a good thing to have her along.)

        Yep, they had better hope AmaziGirl takes charge because Amber won’t hesitate to perform acts of excessive violence on them. As Side One of Tubular Bells plays in the background while I compose this, perfect soundtrack for the scene.

        Definitely something to worry about. Amber doesn’t need the psychological trauma of beating those two into a pulp.

        Seriously, of all the people to worry about being attacked by those two, Amber is way down at the bottom of the list.

          Yeah I’m not too worried about her physical safety (although firearms definitely complicate things) – I’m primarily concerned about the mental/emotional trauma. Also, I’m *slightly* worried that the trauma that’s already been coming to a head will show its face mid-fight, causing her to freeze up in the middle of kicking ass. I think it’s unlikely, but still possible.

      Amber’s an introvert – she’s probably recharge her mental batteries on the walk back to her apartment. It’s the PARTY that exhausts her.

      Once she recharges, tho, it may be time for AG to take wing…

          I have a hard time imagining the first NSFW experience for Becky would be too short for a whole comic. It’s possible Dina might speed things up a bit with her matter-of-fact nature, but I suspect even then, there will still be a bit of flailing and floundering on Becky’s part that will draw it out a bit.

          …Crossing my fingers this is the case, at least. That Slipshine isn’t the cheapest investment I’ve made recently, and I think I went for the 4 month deal and it’s running out soon… D: Hoping to get a little more BANG for my buck!

          Sure, if you’re using raw stats and numbers as the main consideration for technique quality. I prefer the more mechanically-unusual skills, myself. For instance, if you take Carla’s skate-shove skill from the demo and combine it with the “Nothing more can hurt me” D-Soul, you can effectively dash nonstop without any cooldown, and the I-frames last long enough that you’ll hardly ever take damage. True, you can’t attack or use items while you’re doing it, but if you wear Ruth’s overalls outfit, your Stamina and Ki will recharge automatically, so it’s a great stall tactic if you’re low on bars.

        What I saw is Becky arbitrarily WAS against sexy times because “I still want to cling to this rule from my past”. Joyce snarled out “aren’t those rules kind of dumb?” in a grumpy way. Becky didn’t care for the tone but maybe she’ll agree with the words under the grumpiness.

          You are forgetting it was Joyce that put that on Becky,
          and repeatedly acted as the guardian of her purity.

          Dina has sensory issues, until she doesnt. and they have been in balance.

            Not really. I mean, yeah Joyce referenced it, but she didn’t make it up out of the blue. It’s part of their shared upbringing. Becky’s never given any sign that she’s okay with it before and plenty that she’s worried about it.

    Walky’s being nice and supportive, which is always nice. Amber’s taking off alone with the dads on the loose, which is worrying. Dina and Becky are about to get handsy, which is wishful thinking on my part.

    Last panel foreshadows Bad Events, or I’m a ham sandwich.

    Does this count as free gay Pizza?

    • Delicious Taffy
      Delicious Taffy
      December 8, 2019 at 4:27 am | #

      The party is being held for the host’s gay girlfriend and their mutual grouchy friend. I’d say it’s at least 50% gay, and since pizza is a zero-sum foodstuff, that makes it gay pizza. Since it’s generally considered rude to charge party guests for pizza, I’m gonna make a judgment call and consider it free, as well. Add both of those modifiers, and we should be able to officially and objectively qualify this as free gay pizza.

        Except that as far as I recall, Dina is not gay but “unconcerned.” Becky, however, is indeed gay, and she’s the host, so, it can still be gay pizza if you want.

            December 8, 2019 at 9:40 pm | #

            In which case, if we do NOT consider “unconcerned” to be gay, the pizza is, at MOST, 25% gay.

            So, the pizza is 25-50% gay?

        Oh my god, that reminds me – is there sausage on the pizza? Is it touching? If so, we can canonically and empirically settle this essential debate, once and for all.

        For, as the great Willis himself has declared, in determining the gayness of pizza, we must consider the sausage’s proximity to be… vital. B)

      She seemed to like the ultimate ‘go for it’ despite clearly being annoyed that Joyce wasn’t acting as the Angel on her shoulder reminding her of the bible and what it stands for and its messages and its principles. But it is kind of an unfair expectation to have for Joyce to keep being that person or for her to just get over being angry and distrustful or for her to just be happy and optimistic for Becky when she’s going through a rough transistion personally where she’ll have to decide if she is able to still hold onto her faith or if this has just been too much and has broken and ruined it for her.

    Just a thing I’ve noticed over time.

    Those of us on the ASD spectrum tend not to enjoy being touched by others randomly – it feels, for lack of a better term, too intimate. However, when someone does manage to overcome that inhibition, we also tend to be the biggest horndogs on the planet.

Remember when Blockbuster Video gave a dude so many late fees he decided we should all borrow DVDs in the mail and then destroy the entire cable industry and shove a weird hot metal spike up the movie industry's keister for both better and worse? Anyway, never underestimate the power of spite.

Earlier this month at TFN I saw the amazing TF None panel by @chrismcfeely.bsky.social & @jimsorenson.bsky.social and I absolutely fell in love with the proposed version of Megatron. So after a little paint and 3d printing, I'm very excited to reveal my custom Negator!

You’ve seen the popemobile, but have you seen the Jesus semi
Back of a semi-truck cab seen from the highway. Two large vertical hoses and a coiled cable form the appearance of eyes and hair and a smiling mouth, making the truck look like Jesus

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well: ‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned we're rerunning the week of strips where Edda strips a critic on stage during a performance, which definitely should've landed her in prison.

Fun thing about reading the DC x Sonic comics is that it’s interspersed with these ads for other DC comics that I have zero context for. Why is Batman shouting “hush” while dealing with a nosebleed? I’ll never know.
An ad for Batman Hush 2 Chapter 3 #160 I think? There are a lot of numbers, I don’t really know what it is, sorry. Batman is in front of the word HUSH repeated in the background, and he’s gripping his head and blood’s coming out from under his mask.

Scene from the good place where Michael is saying “Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts” but instead of “Jason” it says “reedpop”

Related: Reedpop cons strictly forbid AI at any exhibitor’s booth or AA table, as does Comic con. Take note Fanexpo. Nobody wants slop. Ban it.
