    One must imagine Sarah happy.

      Is this like those imagine nine impossible things before breakfast exersizes?

      1. Dot

        In retrospect, the Dumbing of Age comment section was probably not the best venue for a Camus joke

          It’s an uphill climb, all right, but you’re on a roll

      2. Reltzik

        More like how you have to imagine winning the lottery jackpot, because you’re never going to actually experience it.

    “kissing that girl who overthinks things. mwwwah. right on the lips no more thinking for you beautiful”
    -that one tweet, you know the one

    I like to think Sarah was awake the whole time, including watching Dorothy climb out of bed in a trance and stare out the window speaking nonsense.

    And was just like “And now there’s THIS bullshit.”

      I think alt-text agrees with you

    2. clif

      I like to think that Sarah was awake all the other times as well.

    3. DJTsurugi

      that was my first thought, poor girl sitting in bed like “ok, psycho white girl doing psycho serial killer things… don’t draw attention to yourself” ~<3

  4. Thing 2

    Yeah nah

    Can we have a Slipshine or Other Patreon comic that’s just the same shot of Sarah, over and over again, getting increasingly annoyed in each frame as the sex noises from off screen get more and more numerous? (Like, she could be reading a book or studying for a really important life altering test or something.)

    That’s very sweet, but I’m pretty sure you can’t fix trauma that way.

    1. Reltzik

      But if you keep responding to trauma with sex, you can turn trauma into foreplay and soon after a turn-on!
      ….
      …. and that would be bad.

    Joyce and Dorothy are Lily and Marshall, and Sarah is Ted going, “please don’t.”

  8. IntangibleMatter

    If trauma could be fixed by kisses I’d still be broken because my last major relationship was while I was a teen and trauma has happened since then.

    The stabbing guy really needs to go to jail. We need some sort of unrealistic event like the judician system working.

    1. RassilonTDavros

      …I mean yes, but that wouldn’t actually magically get rid of the trauma overnight. Especially when you consider that Ryan’s friends have already tried to get revenge on her and her friends at least once.

  10. Amós Batista

    It won’t work, but Joyce could try more. And more.

  11. Pocky

    Sarah got a front row to this whole drama bomb, and stayed silent the whole time. Good on her for not just makin another “get straighter dreams” jab lol

    1. HueSatLight

      She also had a front row seat with Dorothy to Ross getting brained.

  12. darkoneko

    Yeah.

  13. NGPZ

    Happy full moon to those celebrating

    given the total lunar eclipse, will legit be a BLOOD MOON >:D

    *plays “Vain Star” on hacked muzak*

  14. Taffy

    Try fingering her ear, Joyce. It’ll help.

  15. Zamperla

    Cute goobers.

    Sarah… is a good roomate.

  16. Bill Erak

    I mean, it can’t make it worse!

  17. Bittersweet

    Sarah waking up to Dorothy just standing in the corner of the room like a horror movie.
