don't look so sad when you say that, Jennifer
She's definitely got *something* going on with Joyce beyond "gals being pals".

Yknow I hadn’t given the whole “Dorothy is gay” thing much credence, but honest to god Jennifer saying it is making me suspect. Cuz when has she ever been right

@Andrea Andrew: Cut back to Joyce et al. walking to lunch. Jocelyne wonders why Joyce's friend Dorothy isn't with them, which leads to Becky teasing Joyce about her close relationship with Dotty. Joyce, fighting off a blush, protesteth too much about her and Dorothy just being totally straight platonic gal pals.
At that moment, Joyce's phone buzzes...

Could be a portmanteau of "spectacular" and "tactful"?

I feel like there’s either a running gag or theme to characters like Amber and Billiefer saying Dorothy’s straight when evidence is building to the contrary.
Where’s this going? Is this a statement to throw us off the trail, or foreshadowing that Dorothy isn’t straight?

Willis, "spectacular" is misspelled in panel 5, unless "Spectactular" is a reference to something.

@Dan Rabin: As someone on the main page noted, it's also been established that Jennifer is "vaguely turned on" specifically by Dorothy's anger: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2022/comic/book-13/01-bring-me-to-life-drawing/sudden/

jennifer would have to have an awakening first!
i think she's sad because she recognizes how self-flagellating dorothy can be

So was Jennifer rage baiting Dorothy in hopes of steamy, angry, GL make-outs and fighting to rebound after Asher’s own gay dalliance? That’s why she looks disappointed when Dorothy apologizes, she wanted it go further.
I for one am fine with Jen being Dorothy’s awakening as long as an awakening happens.

It was established during Ruth and then-Billie's relationship that Jennifer is turned on by anger. In the previous strip, Dorothy was angry.

I miss Billie even if she needed to heal, much better than this cynical rock tumbler

I love how Jennifer immediately jumps to gossip

So she WAS thinking about kissing Dorothy
(I just left a comment on the main site saying that I bet she was)

Keep forgetting how much of a shit Jennifer is and at this point shit going to blow up on her. I feel like shes going to have a Sarah moment
