    Yes, Sarah.

    JOIN THE DARK SIDE

    1. Leorale

      I’m pretty sure she’s been there for a while.

      1. Wack'd

        That’s racist!

        (no it isn’t but I couldn’t resist)

    2. Aizat

      Good, good. Let the hate flow through you.

      1. Resne

        Barring that, let the nacho cheese flow through you.

        1. Tucker

          With that icon… an absolutely perfect comment.

        2. Aisling

          If you bought it at Taco Bell, it probably will anyway…

    3. Aizat

      No, Sarah. JOIN THE MUFFIN SIDE!

      1. Marshall Erickson

        Rule the galaxy as muffin and muffin master.

      2. AndaisQ

        I just don’t know what went wrong…

        1. Nerdman

          Yeah, it’s a mystery…

        2. N0083rP00F

          Quick everybody …. to the mystery machine for another adventure and a mystery to solve.

        3. Aizat

          And usually the mystery turned out to be a hoax.

        4. Roborat

          . . . by the first person they meet.

  2. Jen Aside

    NINJA SARAH

    1. Aizat

      BAT-SARAH!

    2. Whittier

      Dina rubbing off on Sarah?

  3. otusasio451

    Sarah enjoys instilling fear in the hearts of criminals.

    1. Yotomoe

      I am the night

      1. Aizat

        “NO! NO! YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER! I AM NOT A DISGRACE! I AM VENGEANCE! I AM THE NIGHT! I AM BATMAN!”

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        She’s Darkwing Duck??

        1. otusasio451

          She is the terror that FLAPS IN THE NIGHT.

        2. Kernanator

          She is the batteries that are not included!

        3. Jimmy

          She is the jackal that gnaws on your bones!

        4. N0083rP00F

          I thought she was the stern lecturer that bats in the night?

        5. Audiophillie

          Totally read that as “Faps in the night”.

        6. otusasio451

          And now, my childhood is ruined.

  4. Wonder Wig

    There’s a dog turd on the sneeze guard.

    1. Liam L.

      I believe they serve that at most cafeterias in the US.

      1. Bekah

        Especially high school ones. The youth are our future, after all.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          It is what has helped make the US the country it is today.

        2. Andiemus

          Who are we today, Plaz?

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          The mystery meat capital of the world.

      2. Luke

        True… Unfortunately. When I eat lunch, I have to drink a cup of black coffee just to get the taste of ass outta my mouth.

        1. Pyr05

          You trade the taste of ass for the taste of cigarette butts?

        2. Luke

          I personally enjoy the taste of black coffee. Because I’m a MANLY MAN.

        3. Aizat

          Either way you still have to taste the behind.

      3. Doctor_Who

        It appears to be steaming, so at least it’s fresh.

        1. Luke

          Just slap some BBQ sauce on there and you’re good to go.

  5. David Herbert

    She’s gonna punch Raidah in the FAAACE again to get more laughs.

    1. Aizat

      “NOT IN THE FACE! NOT IN THE FACE!”

  6. Yotomoe

    -Hey Brian
    -Yeah, Jim?
    -Have you noticed we’re always walking together in the background
    -That’s cuz we’re best friends, but don’t do drama
    -At least not plot worthy drama
    -Right. Now buy me a slice.

    1. Leorale

      These two are my new faves.

    2. Aizat

      Brian and Jim is the textbook example of Those Two Guys.

      1. Wack'd

        I think that, besides the main dudes, they’re the only two other guys on campus.

        1. begbert2

          What about Shaggy?!

      2. Valdrax

        The two have no personality, characterization, or plot relevance.

        Quick, let’s go find out how many fanfics have already been written shipping them together!

      3. William

        I’m beginning to think the Internet just makes up these titles.

        1. Wack'd

          Dude, TV Tropes.

        2. thomas0comer

          Still, he’s not entirely wrong.
          Also, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t link you to their home page?

        3. Kernanator

          One that doesn’t want me to die?

  7. Bri

    I think that’s the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on Sarah.

    1. Yotomoe

      I don’t know…the Humoring Billie Smile was pretty big too.

    2. Björn

      Yeah, I did a double-take when I saw that.

  8. Doctor_Who

    I wish I could inspire primal terror just by walking up to someone. Like Batman.

    1. ASmellyOgre

      I do that all the time on accident. It’s because I’m that rare combination of “quiet” and “a foot taller than everyone.” Like Batman without the ass-kicking or style.

      1. Deathstalker

        The foot taller thing probably has nothing to do with it.

        I’m of average height, but I move quietly. I unintentionally surprise people even when completely not intending to. I hate making noise when I walk. Shoes, floor, keys, anything drives me nuts.

        (There’s a fun side effect: sneaking up on people when you want to is so much easier when you normally suppress any noise when moving.)

        1. Kernanator

          I did that all the time in high school, though I think it had less to do with me being quiet and stealthy, and more to do with other people being really inattentive to their surroundings.

        2. Crow T. Robot

          I’m the same way, I’m amazingly quiet for someone my size, and my voice is inadvertently “Creepy deep” Add in my lumberjack beard and i’ve caused a few “HOLY SHIT NINJA SANTA!!”s in my day.

        3. thomas0comer

          Somebody draw this at once.

        4. davidbreslin101

          Ditto, only more “Ninja Rasputin!”

  9. isitsevenyet

    I, for one, applaud Sarah for doing this. Considering the whole situation, it took guts for her to apologize like that.

    1. kschenke

      Same here. Something I’ve learned over the years is that sometimes it’s better just to apologize if you know you did something wrong. It takes the person by surprise and can help you avoid unneeded resentment. And it makes you feel better that you at least tried.

  10. Aizat

    The thoughts running in Raidah’s head would be: “NOT IN THE FACE”

    1. Pyr05

      More like “NOT IN THE BOOB”

      1. Wack'd

        Prepare to die, obviously!

        1. Vex Godglove

          Is her BF about to get F’d in the B?

  11. Uniqueantique

    Good for Sarah for apologizing. It is right, I guess. On the other hand, good on you Sarah, for enjoying the reaction to your arrival.

  12. Leorale

    I’ma just take a moment to appreciate the ethnically diverse cast, which doesn’t even mention the fact that they’re ethnically diverse! It’s like, they’re really people! So Nice.

    1. Wack'd

      It has actually come up a few times, mostly in relation to Joyce, who doesn’t know how to handle these things. She called Sarah being black “a novelty”, her concern over her use of the word “sister” caused Billie to mention her half-Asian heritage, and she thought Walky was native-American.

      But beyond that–no, it isn’t a big deal, which is really cool.

      1. tahrey

        You mean he isn’t?

        What IS his background then? So enigmatic…

        1. Whittier

          Biracial, black-white.

        2. thomas0comer

          I thought he was a sentient caramel sculpture.

        3. fatemaster1

          He is, ignore the naysayers, they’re just trying confuse you.

  13. brasca1

    Seeing as how this is a universe of alternative coupling I have to wonder if Sarah and Mike will hook up.

    1. Yotomoe

      Mike already hooked up with Sarah’s MOM for a nickel.

      1. joshlamont

        But wouldn’t hooking up with her mom make him the hooker? Instead of her mom, I mean. She’d have to be a hookee.

        Man, that’d have to screw with her whole business…

  14. Ridureyu

    How are we going to twist this apology into an evil act?

    1. Aizat

      Making Raidah beg and plead while naked and singing “I’m So Pretty” while doing an Irish step dance. Wow, my mind is so weird.

      1. Yotomoe

        Go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

        1. Aizat

          Spent time in the corner and had thought about what I had done and I found out that yes, my mind is an enigma wrapped in a mystery which is then stored in a locked iron box which is inside a titanium safe and the only way to open said safe is to answer a random question. And it is weird.

  15. GenericScreenName101

    Aaaaaand that is how to use violence in a “good” way. Sarah apoloigizes (yet again proving herslef to be the better person), Raidah lives in fear or her, and no promises of never face punching again were made.

  16. The Aussie Bloke

    Sarah’s next line:

    “So, have you actually *spoken* to [ex-roommate who’s name I forget] lately?”

    1. Wack'd

      Dana.

    2. Aydr

      Dana.

    3. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

      If a line like that would make any difference, Raidah’s past heckling would have consisted of more than “She was getting better” and a bunch of put-downs to justify her point of view. Sarah relates too much to Raidah on a empathic level for it not to backfire.

      Honestly, I wanna see more background on Raidah that doesn’t have to do with her little holy war against Sarah. The side of herself that Sarah, Dana and so forth have never seen and so on. Something tells me it would be very…Informative…

    4. tahrey

      ^ Dina

      1. AndaisQ

        I don’t think Dina would do pot. At least, not to a destabilizing degree.

        1. Axel

          I think Tahrey was just pointing out that DMDOAD’s gravatar is Dina.
          Dana, Dana, Dina.

  17. bunivasal

    Would you say she’s “surproused” by that face? I would say so.

    1. thomas0comer

      Mental note: use this word more often.

  18. Kernanator

    Raidah is gonna look away for a second, and by the time she looks back, Sarah has already disappeared.

    1. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

      If that happens, it would certainly be a sign that Sarah is learning. The two should consider renting The Prestige and then try to figure out which one of the “two” rival illusionists they are.

    2. Yotomoe

      Dina taught Sarah her secrets.

  19. Riku

    Sarah smiled. I like that

    1. Gordon Blvd

      when the “Sarah”s of the world smile, they do manage to light up the room ……………in those RARE instances lol

  20. tahrey

    *Googles “Landes”*

    …ok, I have NO idea.

    1. Axel

      I had better luck googling “Indiana University Landes”

      It’s the dining hall they’re in. And now you can appreciate how accurate and well-referenced the comic is!

      Also, it’s apparently closed on Sundays.

      1. Wack'd

        XD

  21. Maro

    Im just not liking Sarah through all of this. This one is cementing my dislike more

    1. Kernanator

      Yeah! She apologized! What an asshole!

      1. Maro

        An apology in which you then take great amusement at someone being rightfully afraid of you because you just punched them is hard to take sincerely.

        To make a joke like she did in last panel really detracts, and is pretty callous and cold. Especially when Radiah seem genuinely afraid, and rightfully so.

        1. Kernanator

          Man, me and my friends call that Tuesday.

  22. Bill

    Man, I wish more people would shriek at the site of me. It would make the subway so much roomier. 😉

    1. begbert2

      Or just louder.

  23. begbert2

    I like how in the establishing shot, Sarah is nowhere nearby. Batman indeed!
