        If Robin was REALLY mad at Becky, she should’ve called her “REBECCA WHATEVERYERMIDDLENAMEIS MACINTOSH!” rather than starting the full-name-shout with Becky. xD

    Excellent save, Becky.

    But the Robin I know is basically a Shipping Demon, and wouldn’t want to interfere with someone getting lucky, so you could probably just be honest.

        I’m not quite understanding why Dina’s face goes from being so pleasant in panel 4 to full stink-eye in panel 5.

        Not that I wouldn’t give Robin the stink-eye, but I’d have done it from panel 2 onward.

        Yeah, Robin’s a lot less cool in this universe, but she’s not a monster.

        One second of puppy eyes from Dina (she calls them compsognathus eyes) and Robin will be scattering rose petals along the path to the bedroom while playing Barry White on her phone.

      It’s not that she has the banner. That’s simple enough. It’s that she managed to position herself in arm’s reach of the ripcord exactly when she needed it. That’s the impressive bit.

        It’s actually Danny’s foot. He’s doing that cartoon trope where he disappears out of one side of the panel, only to re-appear on the other side.

    Well Becky, no one can say you aren’t prepared, but pulling a re-election party banner out during the middle of what is otherwise a rockin’ party might not always go over the best.

    I don’t know, how would you feel if someone spontaneously pulled out a banner for a random candidate for what is otherwise a non-related party?

          Remember the arc where Becky, Joyce, and Jocelyne broke into Casa Toedad, where Becky talked about how she used to sneak in and out all the time? And the time she “accidentally” got glue in her hair so she had an excuse to cut it shoulder-length? She got her rebellion where she could.

          “Throwing a big party while your parents aren’t home” is a rite of passage she’s missed out on so far. Now she can tick that one off the to-do list.

      Becky was raised by a tyrant and would probably have been “honor-killed” for throwing a party like this, growing up. Also, I have a feeling she sorta hornswoggled Robin into going on whatever trip she went on.

    Because Robin’s treating it like her place and Becky’s crashing here, and Becky seems to be acting the same way, but it’s actually being given/leased to Becky as compensation for labor, so…?

      Ruth Caterpillarstone Lessick
      Amber Scopilopteryx O’Malley

London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
