      Frothy Surf’s portfolio really kinda dipped in quality around 2016-2018, when she was going through that really cheap-looking cosplay phase, and I was a little confused by the tree stuff around 2022, but her latest batches of stuff have been pretty universally good.

        Hard to say honestly. By Sarah’s own design they’ve rarely had deeper conversations. I do feel she wouldn’t still be trying so hard if it was purely sexual attraction. She gave up on him before because of that exact reason.

          I’ve said this elsewhere, but look at her face in panel 3. Panel 4 is a sincere feeling that she does have! But panel 3 is a different, sincere, intense feeling she also has about Jacob…but of the two, she’s only capable of the level of vulnerability required, to communicate the second feeling, and not the first.

        This is how I’ve always interpreted it: From the get go Sarah wanted to jump his bones, but when Jacob offhandedly mentioned that he wasn’t interested in sexual relationships she repressed and shoved everything inward. At this point, I don’t think she even knows if she has romantic feelings for him because she’s been avoiding/ignoring it for so long. Granted, it may also be a case of Sarah being stubborn. She wanted Jacob physically and wasn’t interested in a romantic relationship, and has ignored any growing feelings out of sheer stubbornness. This seems like a long time for Sarah to carry a torch if there’s no romantic feelings behind it, but then again it’s probably only a few months in comic time so who knows.

          I think she does have more romantic feelings, but those are far more repressed. She’s scared of romance the way Joyce was scared of sex.

      i guess jacob was expecting maybe to be out on a date but i imagine it’s not exactly pleasant to be hit on in a more sexual way when he’s specifically told her that he didn’t want to be objectified/seen more than just a piece of meat to ppl

      Sarah should’ve gotten some of the extra horniness outta her system first tho and then had a convo https://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/04-vote-for-robin/fakey/

        I think she meant “repeatedly, in between growing and changing together as people in a long-term relationship, like the sea and a cliff change together over decades and longer”…? Maybe? Rather than a one-off climactic smash…

        But her parents-divorce-trauma seems to include a side of “relationships are transient. You can’t expect anything to last” so maybe not, or maybe not consciously, or maybe she’d like that but doesn’t think it’s realistic…

        And he’s looking for The One.

    Oh hey, it’s the kind of encounter he explicitly said he’d prefer to avoid, like a decade ago. Like, he wants to be wanted for more than his body and Sarah was all “Damn, now I feel bad for only wanting your body.” and now she’s all “Damn, get your body in my body”, so that’s probably gonna be a little weird for him. It’s like the author remembered previously-established character traits or something.

      To be fair, it doesn’t have to be a downside as long as that’s not the only reason she’s interested in him. He only doesn’t want to be seen JUST as a sexual being, not that he’s celibate altogether.

        It probably should be a downside given that one of Jacob’s big early character moments was him talking about how he struggled with being seen as a sex object. Like, I hope he takes this well because it would be good for both characters if he did, but I’m really not expecting him to take this well and this was kinda fucked up of Sarah to say.

              He’s gotten to know her pretty well, has fond feelings towards Joyce (minus one big incident), and knows that they’re deeply close and trust one another. He knows that Sarah struggles with vulnerability and some of that comes from Raidah.

              Ergo — Sarah has to have some part of her that’s better for him, he knows she’s into him, and he’s just patiently trying to encourage her to be upfront about it. Hence why he put his foot down with her in the gym. If she’s willing to put in the effort, he’s willing to as well. She just has to make the first scary step.

              This is basically close enough, graded on a Sarah Curve(tm)

      I agree. Also this is how a ton of horror stories start – with frothy surf beating against a rocky cliffside, not the college students coming on to each other. Though I guess a lot of horror tales start that way, too.

        I assume the counselors in the original Friday the 13th were college students.

        Though in my anecdotal experience, it’s actually High School kids, specifically seniors, that start horror movies off the most (Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, I know what you did last summer).

        Hell, old school Scooby-Doo cartoons sometimes had both, though most people outside the cartoon wouldn’t call it a horror, though it probably feels like one to the characters.

      Yeah, but even if this relationship has nowhere to go, it’s cathartic to *finally* see Sarah get this off her chest. Now if Jacob rejects her, she can actually process it and ultimately find a new rocky cliffside upon which to manifest as a frothy surf.

      I’m sure somewhere deep down Sarah would have to care a bit about jacob, otherwise she’d prolly just pick a joe-adjacent ‘fuckboy’ that wouldn’t be a bother to her after a hookup to ‘get it out of her system’ so to speak

        Yeah, she clearly feels a focused, burning passion for him. The fact that her feelings are erotic doesn’t mean she’s just generically horny.
        … Although, I recall she did remark to Joyce that she just wanted to “use him for his body once or twice”. I think that was just what the politicians call “locker room talk”.

    I don’t know how Jacob is going to react to that. He strikes me as someone looking for more than just, lustful attraction from a potential partner.

    That’s pretty candorous. Candorful. I don’t think she’s going to get what she’s hoping for, we already know he doesn’t like other people seeing him as just a sex object. I like to read him as not even looking for romance right now, just friends.
    Let’s see how he rejects her. I kind of want him to not take her candor as well as he said he would. I mean it would suck for both of them, but Jacob’s a little too boring. More “Jacob does not understand”, less “oh he’s so patient”, please.

    I’ve got a ship for Sarah though, but not during gay pride month. Going to wait until straight indifference month, Heteronorvember.

          Yes. Canderous Ordo (Later known as Mandalor the Preserver) is a character from the 2 KotOR games.

          However given their spelling my guess is that they were attempting to find the proper tense of the word “Candor” for their statements.
          Candor being defined as follows: “the quality of being open and honest in expression; frankness.”

A reductiveness that isn’t the same as being sexual, mind you! Just, he’d thought he was giving Sarah a chance to open up her heart.

    Why, though? It’s not just sexual frustration, surely. The easiest way to solve that is by masturbating, which we know she does. She has a vibrator, she showed it to Joyce, back in the day. So she’s fixing to get something more from the interaction that a vibrator wouldn’t give her. Once she figures out what that is, she’ll be closer to knowing her own feelings.

    Anyway, that’s my analysis of the situation. Frothy surf is a damn good metaphor, too.

      Assuming (!!!) her attraction to him is really purely sexual and not at all romantic, the obvious answer is his body shape. She can’t look at him while she’s locked alone in her room and using Other Jacob.

    I’m honestly confused by Jacob continuing to be so accommodating to Sarah. I genuinely can’t remember them having any pleasant enough encounters that he’d give her this many chances to not blow it. However, I’m open to being refreshed if anyone actually felt like bothering.

    Anyway, here she is treating him like a sexual object even though he’s said more than once that he really hates that.

        It’s also possible that Sarah is so genuinely uncomfortable with real human connection and all of the associated vulnerability, that the only type of feelings or motivation she can broadcast to a romantic interest, are the obliquely sexual. “I’m definitely, extremely attracted to you” is, to someone like Sarah, a much less vulnerable way to express interest in someone romantically, than to say “I think I’m into having a relationship with you.”

        Like, she’s still in the wrong as to how she’s going about it, but I think it’s less that she genuinely views Jacob in such a singularly debased way, and more so that admitting this, is more approachable to her than expressing any of the other ways in which she’s interested. Like, look at her face in panel 3: that face shows how she really feels. Panel 4 is the extent to which she’s comfortable expressing that feeling.

        Sarah has also been proven to have a dim view of everyone, but even more so of men; it’s entirely possible that she genuinely believes, that this is how guys want women to act, even a guy like Jacob, who is exceedingly clear to everybody that that is not what he is into. Just because he’s explicit with it, doesn’t mean Sarah believes him; Sarah is a cynical aspiring lawyer, she believes that everybody is constantly lying about how they really feel, all the time. You know…just like her.

          That last is certainly a possibility I hadn’t really considered, but I think it’s more Sarah’s general problem with real human connection and vulnerability.
          We all know she’s a complete misanthrope who hates everyone, right? That character can have sexual needs, but certainly no interest in romance.

      “Treating him like a sexual object,” is the most uncharitable read one could have. Jacob knows she’s attracted to him, but he explicitly challenged her to be honest with him about how she felt. So she’s stepped up and shared her feelings. Then, suddenly surprised by the experience, she did it again. (panel 5)

      Lots of folks reading his eye-brow drop as disappointment. I’ll wait to see, but it could as easily be concern at her reaction. It’s revealing how closed-off she’s had to be to survive Raidah’s abuse and Sarah’s room-mate’s implosion.

    Your wife is absolutely correct – that is some amazing fucking poetry. As a professional sexual metaphor crafter, I give it top marks.

          English, like poetry, is remarkably malleable.

          My attention was captured by the phrase “professional sexual metaphor crafter.” I’ve never seen ads for that. How does it work? Are you paid by the metaphor or is it a by the hour, including research, professional type thing?

    I have been wondering where Jacob was going when he opened the door to be surprised by Sarah standing right there. Maybe it’s something they could share, like a meal, giving him time to lead by example and talk about his feelings. He’s clearly disappointed in the last panel, and yet clearly finds Sarah interesting enough to put up with her quirks. With a little honesty and finesse, he might elicit a story that hasn’t come out yet, that would explain her character a bit, and let Sarah realize that, with the right person, she can be vulnerable without dying.

      Women can be just as horny as men but women are shamed super hard for being horny and unfortunately some men take a women expressing being horny as “so I can breach all boundaries and be super uncomfortable to you now right?.”

    Two things nobody else has pointed out in the comment section:

    1. Jacob and Sarah have known each other for months, so there is a basis for a relationship that, whatever happens, will never be entirely physical.
    2. Anybody in the world would let Sarah hit after that.

      To be fair “knew each other” is a bit of a stretch, it’s more that Sarah hovered in Jacob’s general vicinity.

          Before she started crushing on him, sure, but from the start of this semester Lucy and Walky had clearly spent a lot of time hanging out over the timeskip before he asked her out.

          Much more interaction than Sarah and Jacob had. Though they did spend some time early on, mostly with Sarah’s stories about Joyce.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.
