Raisins are great. They have a pleasant and mild taste, the texture is good they’re chewy, I think they legally count as fruit in the USA, and they’re dirt cheap in a lot of cases. Dorothy should eat some raisins.
clif
Wait! There are places where they aren’t considered fruit?
Are they considered vegetables instead?
Taffy
Tbh, I was trying to get ahead of some hypothetical smartass who might say “well, they’re haaaardly fruit, hm ?” if I called them fruit outright.
eh, whatever
Raisins are horrible. The taste is unpleasant, the texture is a nasty surprise if they’re baked in somewhere (it’s even slippery)…
So Dorothy is going to eat some, but Joyce is not.
Taffy
The fuck kinda raisins you ate that was slippery?
Needfuldoer
They’re slippery when they’re raw.
Eiim
Raw raisins? You mean grapes? Because grapes are slippery, but raisins are not.
Buck Ripsnort
There’s no disappointment quite like chomping into what you thought was a tasty chocolate chip cookie and finding out it’s oatmeal raisin instead.
Taffy
Who’s out here confusing the two? They look different, they smell different, they even feel different.
Nymph
I’ve never confused one long enough to take a bite, but I have been tricked into getting excited for chocolate chip cookies only to find it’s a trap.
100% chance she’s long known Dorothy has feelings for Joyce. 0% chance she has allowed herself to even consider that Joyce could possibly have feelings for Dorothy.
Because Becky has already established that that’s simply impossible, because Joyce just doesn’t like girls. So there’s no way she could ever like a girl, and there’s no reason to ever think about any other possibility, because it’s so impossible. ha ha.
Any evidence that Joyce MIGHT be into girls, or Dorothy specifically, can very easily be chalked up to “Joyce is just like that, and always has been!” Which is technically a true statement, and requires no additional unpacking! Her acting just like somebody who’s really horny for girls, all the time? Mark it up under the “Gal Pal” category.
Can we finally quash the whole their kiss was filmed and posted to social media theory now? No way Becky wouldn’t bring that up immediately if she saw it.
Becky has neither the patience nor the inclination to play coy about something like that. She has an issue with thought proceeding to action without anything in between, and this is amplified fivefold with regards to matters of queerness.
IIRC she’s made clear that she knowingly pushes the narrative that she says every thought she has.
Dot
She leans into it, but that doesn’t make it not a real trait of hers.
SarahTerra
That’s what makes her so sneaky-snakey! Don’t live a fake persona, just take advantage of your actual one.
But though Becky’s expressions aren’t a giveaway here (which is some excellent arting choices), I am inclined to think she doesn’t know yet. Considered the possibility she senses the shift in Dorothy and thinks she’s into some other girl, but I’m not convinced Becky has even that good a gaydar yet.
i think this is her way of bringing it up. she’s very confident about dorothy having had a great day because she knows what happened at the protest
otherwise i don’t really get why she’d have the expression she does after realizing that dorothy and joyce didn’t have their phones. i think she finds it amusing that dorothy doesn’t realize that everyone already knows
She can tell that Dorothy is very happy, which is an abrupt change from how utterly depressed she was in the early morning. Are we supposed to believe that all four characters we’ve seen thus far have chosen to play coy about the kiss? It beggars belief, especially when it comes to Becky.

as i see it, i think the only people who definitely saw the kiss are becky and raidah. whether sarah and sal did depends on the context of the picture/video/whatever
sarah didn’t realize joyce was at the protest, so i think if sarah saw it, it wasn’t obvious that it took place at the protest. otherwise, i don’t think sarah saw it and just thought joyce was acting sus
i think it could go either way for sal, and depends on how much of joyce and dorothy’s kiss/hug she saw. the fact that she used the word “gay” for them makes me think she could tell that they got together in some fashion, but it could’ve just been her seeing or overhearing them as she passed by them. otherwise, it’s because she saw the thing and could tell that’s what dorothy was referring to when she commented on sal’s lack of reaction
that’s just my take tho, i’m absolutely prepared to be wrong about it
thejeff
I don’t see any reason at all to think Raidah knew anything. They told her about the protest.
No one yet has known anything about the protest before being told.
owo
all raidah really had to say when she saw them was that they smelled bad, and a sarcastic “uh huh” when joyce told her they were at the protest. nothing else to indicate how much she knew about it.
imo, the fact that joyce said “the” protest implies it was general knowledge. raidah didn’t seem surprised at all to hear about a protest going on, and the way she replied lined up with what actually happened. it’s not hard at all to view dorothy and joyce’s dramatic kiss in the middle of everything going on as attention-seeking given the context. i feel like everyone’s reactions are weirdly specific/targeted for them to not know have some level of knowledge of what’s happened, and it now seems to be a very intentional narrative decision to have dorothy and joyce away from their phones for so long
i’m not going to be too surprised if i’m wrong about this, but i won’t be surprised if i’m right either. i know i said “definitely” lol, but i can see things going either way at this point. both could easily be played out in a comedic way

I like how the last panel has a transparent background. Makes Dorothy look like she’s trying to escape the comic entirely.
Lumino
That might not be a bad call at this point.

the problem is even if she escapes the comic itself, she’s just gonna land down here in the comments. which is a million times worse
Taffy
Yeah, there’s been some real nasty remarks made about ‘er.

She thrusts her fists against the frames but Becks will sense she kissed the dames

Dotty so scared of this situation that she’s trying to break out of the very format of the comic itself!

“No kill Dorothy?” Is there another …
Oh wait…
Kyulen
I assume they want to tell Joe and Walky first, but at some point soon Joyce and Dorothy are gonna have to tell the rest of their friend group.
Thing 2
Joyce is not experienced enough to say ‘for reasons’…

“Did I say reasons? I meant raisins! Yep, just got a craving…”

Panel four Becky is as sly as I’ve ever seen her w.r.t. someone else’s situation.
tim gueguen
I suspect that Becky knows one way or another that Joyce and Dorothy have realised they have lovey dovey feelings for each other.

I suspect there’s a 0% chance that’s the case.

Yeah, Dorothy never stood a chance as a politician

oh, i don’t know, panicking and running away when someone asks about her sex life would have made her a pretty standard republican

But Joyce is like at least 5 years too old to be a politician’s interest.
