    Skewed? I’LL SHOW YOU SKEWED

    1. JessWitt

      Will there be graphs involved?

      1. Doctor_Who

        “Great Faz’s time has come!”

        1. The Master

          Dammit, RELEASE THE LIONS!

        2. Drunken Nordmann

          I don’t think that would help.

        3. Yet Another Laura H.

          Typo in that, the Master. I think you meant “loins.”

        4. L33tmaster

          wait? is that rly the plural of lion?

        5. Khrene

          A: Loins refers to the lower belly, lower back, and pelvic regions, and also is considered “the source of erotic or procreative power.”

          Please proceed to process the above quotes as “comedic”

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        …and don’t forget the Venn diagrams.

        1. Dreadhawk177

          “Here’s Joyce, and here’s Becky. This is the part where they come together.”

        2. GentlemanBreakfast

          “and this is the part where the great Faz joins in and all attention is paid to Faz, except Faz’s own attention which is paid thoroughly to your lady-parts.”

        3. Screwball

          I can so see Faz then becoming the victim of 1 of those Anime-uber-uppercuts after saying that, maybe even from both of them at the same time. You know, the type of punch that sends people flying away till they become a speck in the distance, vanishing with a little flash & a “ting” sound effect…

          Probably would be the only “2 ladies at once” action he’ll EVER get… XD

        4. Xalthicus

          Team Rocket style?

      3. AustKyzor

        We had graphs, but Joe keeps cutting them up with scissors

    2. Bill

      SKEWED or SKREWED?

      1. Lieutenant Dan

        SKEWERED.

    3. Melvin Schlock

      I’ll skew your BRAINS OUT!

  2. LiaHansen

    that is COMPLETELY normal

    you just keep on doin you Joyce

    1. John

      I really love normalizing moderate physical affection with platonic friends. really helps to reduce the feelings of loneliness when single.

      1. Shaunock

        I fee the same way.

        In my circle of friends I’m known as “The hugger” It aint no thang.

        1. Rabid Rabbit

          Your avatar amuses me.

        2. Rycan

          Ruth administers bear hugs, so called because they more closely resemble a mauling than a hug.

        3. Deanatay

          The gaping wounds show that she cares.

        4. AustKyzor

          Her brother and Billie get the wounds dressed afterwards, because that’s what love is to her

        5. Cheryl

          Hug tastic!

      2. LiaHansen

        Unfortunately that only works when your friends are around and not getting high at another friends house

        im having a lonely night

        1. Plaid

          If it makes you feel any better, I have the same issue when I’m hanging around in said other friend’s house among my peer group.

          Turns out you CAN be allergic to weed, so they get high in one of the suite rooms while I sit in the living room watching the door and playing League.

        2. Brother Mojo

          Plus any time there are brownies around the house, you REALLY have to ask first…

        3. zoomer296

          There will be cake, and then you will be baked.

        4. Screwball

          Ever think about putting a little bit of laxitives in their brownies? You know, for shits & giggles? You know you’ll be safe if you can’t eat them in the first place too…

        5. John

          That’d be a shitty thing to do.

  3. magey

    Oh Joyce

    1. Yet_One_More_Idiot

      *Wants to give Joycy a platonic, reassuring hug* :3*

      *Can’t because of the darn computer screen in the way* 🙁

      1. Someone

        We must find a way to destroy the fourth wall!

        1. Yet_One_More_Idiot

          Yes, we must! I just hope it’s not a load-bearing wall though… xD

        2. Someone

          We should do our best to avoid collapsing the fabric of reality

        3. Lis

          your avatars make this conversation awesome.

  4. Plasma Mongoose

    Nor is it proper to want to run your fingers through Sal’s hair… understandable but not proper.

    1. KingMabel

      Is it still cool to whisper into each other’s ears? That’s still cool right?

      1. LiaHansen

        intimate secrets or sweet nothings?

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Just as long as tongues are not inserted anywhere.

        1. Dean

          Nibbling a little is OK, isn’t it?

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Only when sharing a bath together according to this textbook.

        3. Screwball

          But what about when forced/voluntarily sharing a bed? Is it OK then?

        4. Rycan

          Faz? Is that you?

        5. Deanatay

          We’re getting these rules from hentai, aren’t we?

        6. AustKyzor

          I was wondering why the author of the textbook was J. Lesnik…

        7. fogel

          J Lesnick? (I’m reading Girly for the 2nd time. It is excellent again.)

    2. DarkoNeko

      But..but… that chocolate river o_o

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        You must resist, YOU MUST!

        1. StClair

          Resistance is futile.

        2. Opus the Poet

          No resistance is I/V. it’s only futile when V=0.

        3. HEYOUGUYZ!

          Pedant to the rescue:

          V=IR
          V/I = R

          Resistance is futile when V -> infinity

          See: static discharge
          See Also: Zeus, Thor, Tesla

    3. LeslieBean4Shizzle

      Oh pish, you and Joyce and your “not having lesbian sex with your friends” rules. Live free, I say.

    4. Willoughby Chase

      Presumably this comes under the heading of “whatnot” in the textbook?

  5. Mkvenner

    Explains so much

    1. Screwball

      Probably, but there are still gonna be plenty who will keep believing Joyce is deep down really a Lesbian who’s getting close to openly admitting she wants to shove her face between Dorothy’s legs…

      1. Pope William T Wodium

        “Shove her face between Dorothy’s legs?”

        Please. “Delicately insert.”

  6. Leorale

    Oh my goodness, I didn’t think of this at all but it makes so much sense!

  7. nothri

    Rassum Frassum. I was all set to be comment number one and the damn thing didn’t load.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Better luck next time.

      1. nothri

        Thanks.

  8. Kris

    Platonic lady friendship involves more than I thought.

    1. Leorale

      It also involves going to the washroom together.

      1. Leorale

        doing each other’s nails, braiding each other’s hair, running for elected office — you know, girly stuff.

        1. Kris

          As opposed to platonic male friendship! All we have to do is say “Yeah!” and high five, or chest bump, or even headbutt if it’s really awesome. Then theres the solitary “I understand.” shoulder touch plus head nod. But you can only do that once a year and only if someone died!

        2. chris73

          We guys do have it so much easier (in this respect)

        3. Incomitatus

          Pouring a strong bourbon for a friend in times of great stress or grief is appropriate for all friendships, however. Especially if there is also a fire.

        4. Rycan

          ‘In case of fire, imbibe flammable liquids’ is excellent advice.

        5. Deanatay

          Better in your stomach, than outside, catching fire. If the fire gets hot enough to combust alcohol inside your body, you already have bigger problems.

        6. Rheios

          Not anymore you don’t.

        7. Rycan

          I would think that, when a fire breaks out and flammable liquids are within reach, it is a very good time to leave.

        8. Screwball

          Wait, that’s all that’s involved? Maybe that’s why Daniel the Human keeps throwing magnets at me…

        9. Pope William T Wodium

          If a second person dies, ya gotta fall back on, “That’s rough, buddy.”

        10. Gigafreak

          Also implemented when the other guy reminds you that his last girlfriend turned into the Moon.

        11. grantimusmax

          Only before the first guy restores his HONOOOOOR

        12. Yet Another Laura H.

          For reference, see (all right, listen to) The Chenille Sisters’ “Great to Be a Guy.”

    2. Doctor_Who

      For a practical guide, see Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins.

  9. Idon'tcarenomore

    Yeah, I guess I can see that Joyce 🙂

  10. bananarama

    Alas, the struggle. If you want to bone (or used to bone), you just can’t cuddle no more. 🙁

  11. Urukak

    Okay, so Joyce isn’t secretly lesbian, she’s just basing her social cues off someone who is. (Well, not so secretly now.) That makes sense.

    1. chris73

      I’m feeling even more bad for Joyce now although a aprt of me does want to know what “whatnot” entails

  12. Koms

    Joyce’s hair looks really pretty. And she tried to smell Dorothy’s hair? Wonder what Dotty thought about that.

    1. Doctor_Who

      That her hair smelled nice, and maybe Joyce wanted to know her shampoo brand?

  13. Taigan

    “I should probably let you know that those times I straddled your knee and ‘played horsie?’ Yeah, that’s not really a ‘friend’ thing.”

    1. Screwball

      I did want to reply with something about dampness & groans, but I’m getting death stared…

  14. DarkoNeko

    That’s… sensible of you, Becky.

    Also, dat alt-text XD

  15. Emoroffle

    Joyce, I’m pretty sure you should have figured out on your own that there’s no such thing as “consolation ass grabs”.

  16. chemiclord

    Skewed for the better, maybe.

  17. Zaidyer

    That’s no reason to stop, Joyce.

  18. Stephen Bierce

    *plays Joan Jett’s “Do You Wanna Touch?” on the Muzak*

    1. Chinoy Industries, Ltd.

      This is why we can’t have nice things.

    2. Halloween Jack

      That song got put on my no-play list ever since Gary Glitter’s arrests.

      1. Stephen Bierce

        Would you prefer The Doors’ “Touch Me”?

        1. Halloween Jack

          Why, yes, thanks. (The Doors were a great band, except for the numbers that got overwhelmed by Jim Morrison’s pretension at being a poet.)

  19. Hoboturtle

    “In retrospect I know why why Dorothy found it weird that I nibbled on her ear when we hugged”

  20. John

    All those things that Joyce was doing that pinged your gaydar…

    It was you, Becky. She learned it from watching you.

    1. Yet Another Laura H.

      YES.

  21. Elliee

    Joyce, I love you, but that sweater/vest/sweatervest? is hideous. Forgive me.

    1. Deanatay

      Makes excellent armor, though.

    2. hof1991

      There’s a reason Joyce is dressed in multiple layers. Its not because she’s cold. It is indeed armor against amour.

  22. newllend(henryvolt)

    Let rub some MORE salt in the wound shall we?

  23. Spencer

    I wouldn’t know, what with being a guy and therefore only able to express emotion through grunting and lifting weights, but is this a problem that LGBT women have to put up with when trying to console their straight friends?

    Cause, man, that’s just fucking sad. Becky’s trying to be her usual BFF self and now there’s this looming cloud over their relationship that Becky isn’t “allowed” to comfort Joyce as she would before.

    1. Chinoy Industries, Ltd.

      Thank you good sir for saving me the time to write the exact same thoughts myself. Because this seems rather odd, given that in my little social circle (where we have straight guys, straight girls, lgbt girls, and one irritating person who refuses to choose a pronoun), there doesn’t seem to be any such limitation. People just snuggle and the only awkwardness is because two people don’t get along personally, not this kinda thing.

    2. ahuh

      More a post-confession thing I think.

    3. Bagge

      I heard a purely anecdotal story about a woman who was very frustrated with how cuddly her lady friends were – because how was she supposed to come on to them if they were already touchy-feely with each other?

    4. Cerberus

      I think it’s more of a crush thing than an LGBT thing, where if there’s an acknowledged crush that the parties don’t want to act on, there’s a little more awkwardness about close physical platonic affection, though there are straight girls and lots and lots of straight boys who get really weird about physical affection of even the mildest form when the person giving the affection is known to be LGBT. I’m thinking this might be more the former, though it does suck that her first instinct for comfort (and something that Joyce probably needs) is being short circuited by that.

      1. Incomitatus

        Well, I get weird with any sort of degree of physical affection from anyone I’m not currently sleeping with. So much so that my co-workers joke that my middle name is ‘Don’t-Touch-Me’.

    5. Li

      Yes, this is very much a thing.

      Actually it’s also a thing with no confession and with no crush. Straight women are extremely intimate with each other and I am very very very aware of how much that doesn’t come naturally to me, and how terrified I am of making a straight woman uncomfortable, EITHER by being too affectionate or somehow “obviously” not affectionate enough. I’m constantly afraid my platonic friends will think I have feelings for them. Though in my case it’s probably partly because my high school “friends” told me outright that my being “so” attracted to girls was weird (They all considered themselves “at least a little” bi.), and then later ousted me from the group.

      But yeah there’s very much a “ACT ‘NORMAL'” imperative in my brain that never knows how much to compliment my friends / hug them / etc, that’s always afraid of fucking up. Yay.

    6. EnerPrime

      Well, I imagine being hugged/cuddled/etc. by someone who has openly stated sexual attraction towards you when you have none towards them would be awkward no matter what the gender/sexuality configuration is.

  24. Em

    Guys it’s okay, you don’t have to be all “no homo” about it, just hug it out.

    I cuddle my lady friends who know I’m out and know I think they’re hot and they cuddle me back. It never gets weird. The only way it gets weird is if you make it weird.

    1. Bagge

      Becky has to be super careful with that kind of stuff least she starts a flame war in the comments. (Here’s to hoping that me being silly doesn’t start a flame war in the comments).

      To be less silly – I agree. (Of course, there are people who don’t like to cuddle no matter what, but Becky and Joyce clearly do)

      1. Leorale

        But, Joyce might be super-uncomfortable about being snuggled by somebody who has a crush on her, and Becky could be super-uncomfortable about getting turned on with her off-limits pal. As a super-snuggly person myself, I think Becky is being smart to check in before hug-time.

        1. APersonAmI

          I concur. Always check in before hug-time.

        2. Bagge

          True

        3. DarkoNeko

          It’s still possible they will hug in the next panel. But yeah, it felt necessary to ask, there.

      2. Rycan

        Well, considering that we literally have a commenter here with the ‘Flammable’ label you find on the likes of pure ethanol…

      3. Screwball

        1 Problem Bagge, we’ve already got lower-level flame wars going on from Becky being finally-out Becky, I can see flame wars starting even if she gets permission.

        I’ll agree, from what I’ve picked up about socializing so far, she’s over stepped a few boundaries, but she is essentially still in the “I’m FREEEEEE” arms-flailing & laughing none-stop stage of finally coming out…

    2. APersonAmI

      I hope you are right. I mean, that is not my life experience at all, but I do hope that my inability to find guys that don’t feel awkward about basically everything I do is a statistical anomaly. And I am not even a gay male, I just like hugs (although I always ask before I touch someone) and talking through emotions properly.

      1. Rycan

        Cultural norms simply make life weird – and amusing for a detached observer.
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzO1mCAVyMw

    3. Halloween Jack

      Becky will probably get to that point in another few days of DoA time, i.e. 2020 our time.

  25. smashman42

    Am I the only one disturbed that Jen Aside isn’t the first commenter today?

    Like, was there an accident? Are they ill?

    1. Dean

      I prefer to think that Jen Aside has to hike through miles of jungle to reach a computer or wifi hotspot or something. The days that Jen doesn’t get first post is when they have to stop to fight a jaguar.

      1. Bagge

        HEADCANON

        1. Leorale

          Sometimes they have to fight a pantzher. It’s half panther, half tank, all AWESOME

        2. Agemegos

          Also, it tries to pull ones trousers down.

        3. Rycan

          Their natural habitat is the high school gymnasium.

    2. Someone

      I’m pretty sure Jenaside is fighting someone to the death over the computer.
      They have magical powers.

      1. Bagge

        Is it only Jen’s computer or do all computers have magical powers?

        1. Someone

          The computer does not have magical powers Jenaside and her arch enemy do

        2. No Name

          Then don’t dangle your modifiers! They don’t like it any more than you!

    3. Jen Aside

      http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/02-choosing-my-religion/text/

  26. Bagge

    Wow, headcanon confirmed. I assumed way back that they were the touchy-feely kind of friends.

    Awwww. Becky wants to help but doesn’t know how. Welcome to planet Joyce.

  27. Rodimiss

    I feel like this explains Joyce’s thing towards Sal. But I also feel that Joyce would be a very physically affectionate person no matter what.

    It’s okay you two, just hug.

    1. Bagge

      I also feel that – which makes it extra sad when you realize that the only person she actually has been physical with in college before Becky came was Ethan. That puts an extra spin on the isolation she felt.

      1. Deanatay

        Her clothing reinforces that. The only bare skin she has right now is her fingertips and her face. God help her if she starts wearing gloves and a face mask.

        1. DarkoNeko

          Sal is all “cover your hands ! Don’t you have any shame ?!”

        2. Bagge

          That’s Amazi-girl when she rescues cats. Joyce would be a great sidekick

        3. Leorale

          I’ve been wondering for a while whether she wears turtlenecks as armor, for when she feels especially vulnerable, but it could just be autumn and I’m overthinking it.

        4. Bagge

          And that she takes Sal’s advice and amps up her usual style to OWN THE FUDGE OF IT. Both in order to be cool and in order to take a stand for her identity and core values, kinda like Becky.

          …but yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s an armor too.

        5. No Name

          She can’t wear her gloves – Ruth threw them out the window, remember?

  28. Opus the Poet

    I has the sads for Joyce, and slightly less so for Becky.

  29. Cerberus

    Also, I’m really excited that this is where we start seeing Becky, the friend, the side of her that made Becky the person Joyce frantically tried to call when things were topsy-turvy. I mean, she’s not only being actively present, but also being super cautious on boundaries while also checking and double-checking on her emotional state. With that and the history of close physical support, I really feel this is the point where Becky might help to at least listen to Joyce and help her sort out her feelings regarding her evolving faith, Ethan, (I really hope the whole Ryan thing what with the bloody sweater thing), the stand-off with her parents.

    Because based on Joyce’s actions so far, that seems to have been a dynamic they’ve had before and I think it might be crucial for Joyce to really reopen at least a less huggy form of it now.

    1. Bagge

      That Joyce and Becky are very, very important to each other has been clear from the start, but here we see a bit more of why. I really hope they have that talk soon.

      1. Airyu

        I really hope they talk about everything. As much as Joyce needs to open up, there’s bound to be other stuff that Becky has had happen at Andersen too. I hope they both open up to each other.

        1. Leorale

          Yes. Friends being nice to each other for the win.

  30. poofdepoof

    I’m the youngest in my family, and as far as I know a straight lady, and I am VERY cuddly. Like, I single-handedly turned my family into a hugging family by hugging everyone into acceptance… So, for me, hugs and cuddling are perfectly appropriate in a platonic lady friendship. But then again, who knows what that “whatnot” is.

    1. zach

      I am a male in his 20’s.

      I hugged a dog into submition not to long ago. All were impressed/weirded out!

      At least the dog was finally calm.

      The people pressent sucked, that’s why I went for the dog.

      1. Orbit Junkie

        I became a hugger after being tackle-hugged into submission by a friend.

        1. DarkoNeko

          …that sounds scary.

        2. Orbit Junkie

          So you understand my initial reluctance.

        3. gwalla

          So it’s spread sort of like vampirism?

        4. Orbit Junkie

          http://goo.gl/INJUJv

      2. Screwball

        Hugging a Dog into submission? Both me & Daniel the Human are impressed…

    2. Rycan

      The hugs are contagious?

      1. Orbit Junkie

        Very much so. Like viral Care Bears.

        1. Rich

          Thanks for the wonderful mental image of a rabid Tenderheart Bear foaming at the mouth.

  31. modernpython

    In the first dumbing of age book, one of David Willis’s comments is “now we have met 5 nation characters (and Becky)”. Now Its more along the lines of “five main characters (and Joe)”

    Sorry Joe I still love you

  32. WingedBeast

    This is a Becky I like.

  33. acher4

    Well….that explains a lot! 😛

  34. Professor Fate

    Poor Joyce. So conflicted. Repression is a terrible thing. It leads to all sorts of traumas that affect your entire life. Live in the moment, Joyce, follow your heart, don’t build your life around the afterlife, yield to temptation, enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, embrace the now, live every day as if it were your last, you’ll be a better person for it.

    1. Jerden

      Living every day as if it were your last would seem to involve a lot of saying goodbye.
      Maybe I’m too literal.

      1. Rycan

        It would also involve a slew of terrible decisions and probably some addictions, I would think. Impulse control is a valuable thing.

      2. Rich

        My version would involve constant panic attacks as I confronted my own mortality, along with insincere religious conversions right before bedtime. Really not seeing the appeal.

  35. Kryss LaBryn

    You know, a hundred years ago, when guys all assumed that women just couldn’t have *real* orgasms and whatnot unless peen was directly involved, it was considered perfectly acceptable for “close lady friends” to even be naked and doing stuff in bed together. Like, I mean, even if they got caught, hey, they’re just really close friends, and everyone knows women tend to be more touchy-feely with friends than guys do.

    I mean, it’s not like they’re having sex or anything. No peens are involved so they can’t be!

    So, Joyce, you just need to get, you know, a little more old-fashioned with your social mores. 😀

      Think you need to recheck your history. Lesbian awareness was flourishing in the late 1800s and early 1900s up until about the Great Depression. The 1920s in particular saw a tremendous growth of the community, at least in the US. Guys (especially medical guys) had some freaky ideas about sex back then (look up John Harvey Kellogg sometime – you’ll ever eat his cereals again) but you had to be a pretty sheltered adult not to know that lesbian sex was a thing, even if the specific details were vague.

      1. Rich

        Agh. “never eat his cerals again” that is. Because carbolic acid, that’s why.

        1. Heavensrun

          I’m fairly certain he’s no longer with the company.

        2. Jerden

          In spirit he is. OOOOOOOOOOO, spooky ghost cereal.

        3. Rich

          Nah, Boo Berry was a General Mills cereal, not Kellogg’s.

          Also, egad, I cannot spell properly today.

      2. TPman

        A lot of things took a step back during the Great Depression. The 1920’s were a lot more progressive than people think.

    The storyline’s great and all, but I’m honestly just looking forward to the next thing centered around Roz.

    That said, the whole comic is awesome and it’s a treat to see the updates every day!

    I would read a Slipshine moment called “Platonic Lady Friendship”.

    1. Orbit Junkie

      Joyce and Becky Perform a Cuddle.

    2. Bagge

      That’s not slipshine as much as the main comic.

    I just realized Joyce’s sweater vest makes her look like she’s being eaten by a large beetle.

    1. Airyu

      I’m trying to figure out what’s under it. Is she wearing a vest over a halter-top over a turtleneck?

  39. Bill

    You know, I’ve been staring at Joyce’s outfit in these last few panels of this segment if the story and I’ll be dambed if I can figure out just what she is wearing.  It looks like she is wearing a sweater-vest (of course!) over a long-sleeved turtleneck; but if that’s the case then what’s with the orange-and-bluish things that looks like collar lapels?  Is there actually such a thing as a sweater-vest with a collar?

    1. somebody

      It’s not a collar, it’s a hood.

      First panel here has a little bit of a shot of it from the back: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/03-the-butterflies-fly-away/forthright/

      These two have better shots of the same vest, but in a different color: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/ruin/ http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/bluffing/

    I think it’s a hood. Check panel two back here.

    1. Bill

      I saw that, but a sleeveless hoodie made even less sense than a collared sweater-vest.

      1. Kamino Neko

        Hooded vests are pretty common, actually. They’re generally pretty warm, but Joyce clearly has icewater flowing through her veins.

        1. Leorale

          It’s a hooded sweater-vest, over a mock turtleneck. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this look on preschool teachers in the autumn.

      2. Nono

        Sleeveless hoodies are actually pretty common – especially in summer, but if you have a long-sleeved shirt they can be used just for layering as well as having something to cover your head if need be.

  41. Isaac Rader

    “Skewed?”
    …This explains SO MUCH.

  42. OmegaDez

    I do wonder why things should change because she’s into it.

    Hugs are okay, unless one party involved enjoys the said hug more than the other?

  44. Kryss LaBryn

    You guys gotta help me. I’m trying to track down a strip that has gone missing from my hard drive, and for the life of me, I can’t find it online.

    I had thought it was a Penny Arcade one, but I can’t find it there, either. It’s a commentary on the whole DC-Reboots-Starfire issue, and it has a woman complaining to her gay friend about the reboot of Starfire, and how sexist and awful it is, and her friend agrees, saying it’s completely unfair they only rebooted Starfire, and adds something to the effect of how other DC aliens should get a sexy reboot. It ends with a little fantasy he has of a DC Reboot Sexy!Martian Manhunter saying he requires assistance, and “will trade carnal pleasure” for help with his sunscreen.

    Has anyone else seen this one? It’s not one of my usual webcomics and I suspect someone linked to it (possibly from Shortpacked), and I’m having the devil’s own time finding it again. You guys would really do me a solid if you could point me at it again (or even if you remember what strip it was in).

    Meanwhile, I need to go talk to a guy about how far back he restored my files…

      It’s from d20 monkeys. One of my favorites (on my harddrive too 🙂

        :DDD Thanks so much!!! 😀 That’s the one! Yay!!! :DDD <33333

  45. Tenn

    I was half-expecting some comment about how Becky really should’ve asked “Are you okay?” before Joyce answered it herself. Very pleased to find that I was wrong. 🙂

      10 comments up from yours.

      (No, don’t look. I am lying)

  46. chris73

    This is why i keep reading this comic, the issues and situations that’re brought up that keep making me reconsider what I thought i knew and to think about situations that would never have occured to me

  47. Madstuart

    What are you talking about? This is every platonic lady friendship when you go to a women’s college.

  48. VashM16

    nah hugs and cuddling is a very healthy platonic friendship for any gender
