            Given that cats can typically fit in smaller spaces than humans; I think to use it for the same purpose, you’d need that frying pan to be an oversized comedy prop.

      I was warming up to the Carla Charlie thing. I like seeing them interact.
      I like Carla better when interacting with Charlie, it seems as if she is more herself then and less of the overconfident act she is playing.

        Joyce’s vehement denial of ‘liking’ Tristan went so hard it convinced Becky that Joyce was gay.

        At the time Becky kissed Joyce, she thought Joyce’s attraction to boys had been a ruse. It’s something she convinced herself of. And in a bonus strip, she’s shown aware of Joyce’s apparent attraction to Tristan.

        Well she didn’t have red hair back then, so she must’ve dyed it after going to college. Which would maybe be symbolic of a change in that time.

          No, Becky is a natural redhead – never dyed. You can’t tell from the blueish flashbacks, but she was the same shade of red in the very first comic and in the old photos of the trip to the carnival (don’t ask me in which strip those appeared)

      The impression I’m getting is that Becky has already got a crush, but hasn’t totally realized she’s got a crush; she just thinks she wants to hug her bestie maybe a little more than usual.

      Some churches do Sunday School in parallel with the services. You can attend one of each and there’s no gap.

      Most churches I’ve been to had service or Sunday School. You could be in Sunday School like the little kids or in service like an adult, no in between.

      hm. We had early service (more elderly people there). Then Sunday School for kids of all ages, separated by age group. And several Bible study groups for adults at the same time. Then “regular” service, which ran longer than early service, and included a children’s sermon where like little kids would go up to the front and someone would do a version of the/a sermon tailored to them and their attention spans. Real little kids would be in the nursery.

      I was aware Sunday School was sometimes done differently, but I guess I still have no idea the relative frequencies.

          Yep, an atrium is basically the porch of a public building. As a non-churchgoer, I mostly associate them with banks, where it’s somewhere to put the cash machines so you can use them when the bank’s closed without being rained on and with less chance of being mugged. I think it originally meant the courtyard at the centre of a Roman villa.

            Oh, and libraries, where it’s somewhere to put the book deposit bin, only then you lock the main doors whenever you’re closed anyway, so what’s the point?

            (That might be one specific library.)

              I would say specifically the skylight, and the wide open-ness. An atrium ought to be an interior space, though, tall, with a skylight or open to the sky. This is more like a conservatory: a glassed-in room at the edge of the building meant for keeping lots of plants.

              Anyway, this space is light and airy and meant for informal conversation.

    Does… does Joyce associate getting horny with religious fervor?
    Imagine how much soul searching could have been bypassed if she’d figured out masturbation earlier.
    Kinda sucks that the *religious fervor* gets in the way of that, huh?

      I mean… a lot of churches do try to tell you that ‘feeling’ you have is God, when you are literally a child listening to singing or getting to dance. Which in Joyce’s case, we know was restricted at home. So it isn’t unknown to try to say feeling good or simply joy is feeling ‘God’.

    • Rotunda

      February 22, 2024 at 7:13 pm | #

      It seems more like Joyce can talk about religious feeling, but not about sexual attraction. I don’t think she thinks they’re the same thing. Also, he sexual stuff is new to her in early adolescence and the religious stuff goes back to early childhood, so she’s going with familiar vocabulary and subject matter.
