Cartoon Crossroads Columbus 2019 (CXC) is located within the dreamy halls of the Columbus Metro Library downtown, and you can find me at the upstairs exhibitor expo area today on Saturday, September 28, from 11am-5pm, and Sunday, September 29 from 1pm to 5pm! I’ll have books and magnets and myself at Table 26!

    idk if you can have Best Birthday without DAT ASS to ogle

    …I just realized I never had review sessions in college

    or… did I manage to skip those days =o [pulled many a Walky in my day]

    1. Catman

      I’m currently pulling a Walky!

      1. Emperor Norton II

        This sounds dirty.

        1. Catman

          Yep hmm aha yep that was awful

      2. Screwball

        That…..could be very easily misinterpreted, Human…

      3. He Who Abides

        Walky Performs A Masturbation.

        1. Arawn

          Walky Receives a Hand…

    2. BrokenEye, the True False Prophet

      I never even learned what review sessions were

  2. Doctor_Who

    “Come to think of it, there are only two people in this classroom right now…what is everyone else doing together?!”

    1. Cattleprod

      That nameless extra is the only student in the class who isn’t a main character.

      1. Needfuldoer

        Give her time. She’ll be a Norville/Sue tier recurring background character soon enough, maybe working her way up to Said’s level within a couple years.

        Maybe the Patreon folks can vet the ball rolling once they’re over the dinosaur plushie kick.

        1. Cattleprod

          I think she’d be a plausible DOA version of this job interview lady. http://www.itswalky.com/comic/i-can-see-it-in-your-eyes/

      2. Zee

        Great Value Joyce

  3. jeffepp

    Which one is she more jealous of?

  4. Nono

    Sarah knew it was a slippery slope for Joyce when she skipped church.

  5. brionl

    “Don’t forget to wind your watch!”

  6. Kensou

    Great, now I have to watch the first Bill & Ted movie…

    1. Doctor_Who

      There’s a 3rd one coming. I still can’t really believe that, and I’ve seen actual photos of them shooting it.

      1. Kensou

        I know, it’s surreal. Right up there with Tron in the “movies I never thought would get a revival” category.

        1. StClair

          Sadly, the failure of John Carter at the box office seems to have killed it for… oh, probably another twenty years.

        2. Needfuldoer

          Aw, really? Everything I’ve found said they wrapped filming in late August, and it’s supposed to be out next summer.

        3. StClair

          Apologies for ambiguity. I meant a third TRON movie, to follow Legacy.

      2. Geneseepaws

        Still waiting for the second “Buckaroo Banzai” movie to come out.

        1. thejeff

          They’d just screw it up.

        2. Clif

          Hey. Hey. Don’t be mean. … No matter where you go, there you are.

  7. Stephen Bierce

    *plays Asia’s “Suspicion” on the hacked Muzak*

  8. motorfirebox

    I’ve never understood that saying. There’s nothing strange about a foot being at the Circle K. I mean it’s not some kind of amputee-only convenience store.

    1. Jamie

      There’s nothing strange about a pair of feet, maybe. But a foot?

      What’s the other leg attached to? A pegleg?

    2. Keulen

      If it’s a foot with no body attached to it, I’d say that’d be very strange indeed.

      1. Delicious Taffy

        Gimme an Insight roll to see if you can identify the nature of this detached extremity.

        1. Clif

          That Doctor Strange. Always leaving his feet laying around everywhere.

  9. Kravis

    *PAM PAM PAAAAAM*

  10. Electriccombines

    SHE’S WEARING THE SAME SHIRT AS HOLT
    I LOVE YOU WILLIS

  11. Delicious Taffy

    Let’s explore the moral implications of Sarah noticing these things, followed by a heated debate over whether she deserves the electric chair or the blood eagle for it.

    1. Ron

      Eh?

  12. BBCC

    Well that didn’t take long to put two and two together.

  13. Br44n5m

    Everyone else is dead, beware the unnamed for they were the first to be infected!

    1. Keulen

      Does the unnamed include the random blonde-haired girl that walked into class before Sarah? If she’s a zombie, Sarah better get out of there pretty quick.

      1. Crumplepunch

        She has no tag, she’s a guh guh guh ghost!

  14. Pocky

    Obviously they have both fallen into a well; and need our help.

  15. Lux

    Darn it, I had forgotten about this plotline. I wanted to keep forgetting it.

    1. Stormrunner

      The Joyce pretending to be someone’s girlfriend one? Yeah, I had to skip a few comics for a few days – I read them but they just make me cringe a bit since I’ve seen ppl do this in RL before.

  16. JessWitt

    Dun dun dunnnnnn!!!

  17. Lingo

    Welp, time to go rescue Joyce again WHERE’S MY BAT

  18. Shane Wegner

    She’s going Full Sherlock on them, I’m impressed.

  19. Marsh Maryrose

    Ah, the Great Cringe is upon us. Wake me up when October ends.

    Or as they’d say over at Welcome to Night Vale:

    RUN! RUN! FORGET YOUR CHILDREN AND LEAVE BEHIND THE WEAK! RUN! If you have doors, lock them. If you have windows, board them up. If you still have ears, cover them, and crouch wherever you are.

    It is Joyce Does Extremely Cringy Stuff Day. Please remain calm!

  20. SuperZero

    Very observant Sarah, but…
    it wasn’t like me to skip class until I did.

    1. Delicious Taffy

      I wasn’t gonna sit my room on my ass, until I did.

      1. SuperZero

        …okay, I give up. How on Earth did you do that?

        1. He Who Abides

          I assume tesseracts.

        2. Delicious Taffy

          I was gonna explain my joke, but I got tired.

        3. Clif

          If you have tires, then technically the room would be on your trunk.

  21. Bagge

    “I’m sure everything is fine…”

    1. Clif

      They don’t call it the OK ranch for nothi.

      1. Clif

        nothin.

  22. BenRG

    Now, let’s see if Sarah’s most paranoid and fevered imaginings are better or worse than reality!

  23. Zatar

    Sarah loves to play antisocial but she’s actually pretty quick to pick up on her friends habits and is able to pretty quickly figure out a version of what’s wrong (she couldn’t imagine how Dumb Joyce is being right now. Nobody could.)

  24. Beef

    Wait Jacob scheduled lunch with his brother during one of his classes? That doesn’t seem like him either.

    1. Ron

      No, he scheduled to meet later in the day. His brother came early, surprising Jacob and giving Joyce a chance to meet him before Jacob did. Let’s see if I can write the reference on my phone :
      first panel

  25. Abel Undercity

    (Plays the Sherlock theme.)

    1. Delicious Taffy

      (L’s thinking theme overlaps it)

      1. Bicycle Bill

        Is your avatar supposed to be the Luggage from Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ novels?

        1. NelC

          Probably a D&D Mimic, impersonating a treasure chest.

        2. Delicious Taffy

          I’ve never knowingly read any of those. It’s what NelC said: a D&D miniature of a treasure chest mimic. I painted it to look like a Heartless from Kingdom Hearts.

        3. JBento

          YOU NEVER READ SIR PTERRY’S DISCWORLD SERIES?!?!?!?! RECTIFY THIS AT ONCE! AT ONCE!

        4. He Who Abides

          I second this motion.

        5. Delicious Taffy

          There’s like 41 of those books. What you think, I’m made of money? Maybe if Spider-Man is in one, I might feel more inclined to check it out.

        6. He Who Abides

          Public libraries exist.

  26. Zaxares

    Sarah makes a connection…

  27. Acebender

    Be worried, Sarah

  28. Mr. Mendo

    “That’s odd. Mr. Smithers left his jacket behind.”

    1. Geneseepaws

      Oh, he left his jacket covering a lead pipe. I wonder if that was on purpose?

  29. Kaidah

    Have you ever been to a Circle K? Something is *always* strange.

  30. Rabisch

    Sherlock Sarah has some suspects. She need to find a John and go to investigate!

    1. JBento

      Wouldn’t that get her arrested for solicitation?

      1. He Who Abides

        Technically, the John would be the solicitor in that situation. Sarah would be . . . things I won’t name for fear of a baseball bat.

    2. BenRG

      But who would be the DoAverse equivalent of John Watson? Ruth maybe?

      1. Rabisch

        Dorothy?

  31. Vulcanodon

    They’re both desperately trying to figure out how to disentangle the web Joyce wove…

    1. TheWanderingMist

      I mean, Jacob didn’t even say anything to the contrary, so he’s also kind of at fault. Either way, it’s definitely a train wreck that Joyce somehow caused in the span of like, 3 sentences.

  32. abysswatcher1993

    Sarah threw a perception check and got a critical role.

  33. Victor Riley

    She brought this on herself.

  34. DarkoNeko

    SOMEONE’s about to go yandere

  35. Walky_Talky

    That CXC promo…….is the pineapple the slut? or is the pineapple calling me a slut? or is Joyce the slut? wait….ignore that last one.

    1. Jhon

      It has yet to be explained. Maybe some hero will corner DYW at CXC and find out for us.

  36. Dethran

    Is anyone else getting banner ads that are covering about half of the first panel these days? I noticed it first about a week ago, and am confused as to what’s going on; I even turned on adblock to try and get rid of them in order to be able to read the comic I’m here for, but they’re still sticking around and covering the comic!

    1. Lingo

      Not yet; I’m sorry to hear that, it’s so annoying. I was getting huge banners on the right side of the screen covering the last panel — banners that would move around when I tried to close them. Fortunately they seem to have disappeared in the last few days.

  37. nlips

    Yes Sarah… let your Joyce sense heighten… soon you will be able to sense BEFORE she gets herself in over her head.

  38. nlips

    Plot-wise, it would be amazing to NOT see what happens with Joyce and Jacob.

    Just cut to Sarah finding her in their room. Sobbing.

    Clings to Sarah and cries on her shoulder. Refuses to explain what’s wrong.

    And Jacob never speaks to her again.

    Let our imaginations revel in the horror of what must have transpired.

  39. Hydrohead

    I do love a good Bill & Ted reference 😀

  40. Twirls

    like the detail that people are still wearing sweater dresses
