i don’t think sarahs as ambitious but imagine if she also ended up making connections and showing off a pic of her eating with tony and the dean at some dinner party with other ‘higher ups’ or so and showing raidah outta spite lol
and i assuem they have a decent/not the worst relationship but imagine if some ‘important’ person’s parents had a toxic relationship unless raidah would be too blinded like “I don’t care if you hate your father, make up with him for my benefit” at a manipulation attempt
It’s the velvet hand in the iron glove, the poisoned honey. Sarah is using good manners to wreck Raidah. She shows pleasant courtesy to someone who would use the tiniest bit of confusion or anger to break this couple up and get Sarah flunked out of school. They present a united front of confidence and coupledom.
i wonder how many ‘connections’ she’s actually made but at some points she needs to be focusing on her actual skill/future job or whatever as opposed to being friendopted by a nepobaby lol

Excellent power move, Sarah. No notes.

I had to give up on your post. May I suggest commas and periods?
IntangibleMatter
The alt text is Sarah talking to Joyce after she first walked in on her “doing laundry”
Dr. T
Unfortunately I can’t seem to read the alt-text on the mobile browser since the new format was used.
Leaf
I find it works better on mobile in desktop mode
Bajja
Same. No alt text since new format

“we saw you from across the room and hate your vibe” is what it says. ~<3
Dwampre Scorrigank
Works for me on Fennec (mobile firefox) by long-touching. “we saw you across the room and hate your vibe”, a QC reference
APW
I didn’t catch that one. Link, plz?
Joe Moose
Oh I like this! Just rub it in there, Sarah
Dot
Oh yeah. This one’s a keeper.
Elf grrl
Excellent choice of profile picture, Dot
Dave Van Domelen
Raidah’s still pissed she’s not on the cast page yet.
Thag Simmons
There are ways she could solve that problem.
C’mon Raidah. Date Walky. You’d hate it, he’d hate it, it’d be great.
Dwampre Scorrigank
Why would Walky want to date his mother? [rimshot.emoji]
Doopyboop
Sarah and Tony are an attractive couple.
Dot
Sarah’s attractive. Tony is a rectangle.
JD
you show his big beautiful tits the respect they deserve
Dot
I’m a lesbian so. No?
JD
IM ALSO A LESBIAN IM JUST BEING PLAYFUL BECAUSE I LIKE TONY…………….. SERIOUS THOUGH DONT DISRESPECT RECTANCLES. ITS MEAN
Doopyboop
I think his smile is very sweet. Plus he’s a short king.
Thag Simmons
Some people are into rectangles!
3oranges
I could go on about all the lovely types of quadrilaterals out there, but people would probably think I’m a square.
Astariel
Hahaha, I love it! Rub it in, Sarah, rub it in!
JD
tony is so right sarah is so gorgeous today im going to throw up. sexiest couple in the comic tbh
TrueVCU
Sarah has never felt more pleasure in her human life (assuming she and Tony are yet to bang)
Yotomoe
There is no heterosexual explanation for that look Sarah is giving Raidah in panel 2.
TrueVCU
“Your suffering pleases and amuses me. Both, at the same time”
Thag Simmons
I don’t think that’s actually true in this scenario.
3oranges
What is it called when someone hates someone so much they’re turned on by their misery?
Nono
Sarahfreude.
Bryy
Pfffffffft.

It’s the velvet hand in the iron glove, the poisoned honey. Sarah is using good manners to wreck Raidah. She shows pleasant courtesy to someone who would use the tiniest bit of confusion or anger to break this couple up and get Sarah flunked out of school.

Amós Batista
Ay
Yotomoe
I should specify that I don’t actually think the intention is that Sarah is flirting with Raidah and moreso that I find joy in shipping them.
Dedlok
Yes there is. Multiple really. Either “Schadenfreude” or “I know something you don’t know,”
Qube
I wasn’t aware the gays had any sort of monopoly on “die mad about it, bongo”
Yotomoe
I think some of y’all might be taking that post a bit too literally. I was just being a silly shipper.
Li
I’m sorry, Yotomoe. FWIW I fully got what you were getting at.
.
Also shipping these two is both valid AND fun.
BarerMender
That look is superior amusement. Sarah is smart and she’s fast on her feet. She’ll be a great lawyer.
anon
i feel like she’s more satisfied with tormenting versus anything attractive lol
Mr. Random
Bongo-y Sarah is the best Sarah.
RassilonTDavros
*sips popcorn*
apocryphascribe
got me cackling like a madwoman over here
Elf grrl
Love this for Sarah. Good for her and Tony
not someone else
Please let her break him.
I mean like, ethically, into a good person. Mostly.
Poewar
Raidah looks around for Dorothy. She needs an easier target.
anon
i wonder how many ‘connections’ she’s actually made but at some points she needs to be focusing on her actual skill/future job or whatever as opposed to being friendopted by a nepobaby lol
Stormtide Leviathan
Lol get her ass. I love smug sarah
Bill Erak
aaaahsahsdahshd my need to see Sarah crash the fuck out is pitted against the inherent satisfaction of seeing Raidah fail miserably.
Amós Batista
I have to check URL page, to see if I’m really at Dumbing of Age.
NGPZ
not on topic technically but forgot to mention
got my second iron transfusion, only two more to go this month! :’)
Amós Batista
hell yeah 🙏🙏🙏
Dwampre Scorrigank
Hell yeah pumping iron!
JA
The faint smile on Tony’s face says it all. He was ready to verbally beat Raidah down but got saved from having to do anything.
Folus
Note how much Tony is enjoying how much Sarah is enjoying this
darkoneko
awww they’re both smiling :D so cute
David Welbourn
Sarah really does look beautiful today. I can’t tell what she’s doing different. New vitamin treatment?
nadamás
Sarah is enjoying this way too much and honestly good for her.
Coatl
Indeed
TulipKitten
Again, the dialogue is not sinking my Saraidah ship. Again, those two should KISS.
Stormtide Leviathan
This is a level of hatred that cannot be sustained heterosexually!!!
Fireprincesslily
This is honestly soooo satisfying
Tan
Now I love how much Sarah loves this. But what I think I love even more is that Tony clearly sees *exactly* what Sarah is doing and is into it.
Coatl
Tony knows the kind of person Raidah is, that’s why he supports Sarah.
Coatl
It’s a great moment for Sarah, and that’s a good thing. Wow, finally we have a nice, satisfying comic strip.
JessWitt
Aww, I was hoping Tony would have the last word and dismiss Raidah’s attempts full stop. But Sarah bursting her bubble works too.
I Know Why The Mowed Lawn Screams
I genuinely love raidah but its so so so fucking nice to see sarah this happy. you love to see it !!
I Know Why The Mowed Lawn Screams
also these are just some grade-a expressions all around, lowkey up there in terms of favorite strips this yeat
Li
I love Raidah’s :C in the last panel especially. Sarah IS indeed extra gorgeous today, smug suits her.
Quinn
Damn. Tony is right, Sarah looks so good today. Figured she’d be tired because of her not so subtle roommates, but she seems to be glowing here.
