      I really hope that someday, we get Exhausting of Age, the grad school spin off sequel in which everyone interesting is somehow still all at school together and Joyce has learned how to weaponize her unintentional (but no longer unintentional) innuendos.

      Not for real, but like, an April Fools gag strip might be fun.

    And the artwork for Dorothy is getting cuter by the strip, love that development

    Alas, this conversation is recorded and thus prevents Dorothy from becoming a Supreme Court Justice in the 16th term of God Emperor Robyn.

    I expected to be more vicariously embarrassed by this (homeschool girl accidentally saying dirty stuff in college – too real)

    But oddly enough I’m not. Perhaps I used up so many negative emotions earlier today that I’m temporarily immune to the embarrassment.

    I think Dorothy is astutely picking up the amount of Freudian lust that is escaping from Joyce. The sleeping next to/on a man thing probably revved the needle up a notch or two.

    Firstly, Joyce, you must know that you left yourself wide open for that. Secondly, Dorothy, I’m sorry but Joyce is your friend and, because she’s your friend, you’re not allowed to take advantage of a wide open goal like that.

    I’ve got to add that Joyce should in no way feel that she has to change her language and how she thinks just because she’s rejecting her parents’ belief systems.

      I disagree. A friend is the one who has the right and thus, the moral obligation to take advantage of a wide opening. A stranger who takes advantage of it is a jerk.

      It had never occurred to me before that Mickey Mouse’s exclamation could be seen as a bowdlerised “Hot damn!” And now I don’t think I’ll ever not hear it as that.

      This is like the time I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue did the radio version of “Creep” by Radiohead, and I realised I was wincing every time Miles Jupp sang “you’re so very special”, because I knew what the word “very” really was.

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
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.
