@Diane: I know you meant to write "fundie," but now I'm reading it as "this new fuddy-duddy I met," which ALSO tracks with old Joyce so it's all good.

2024-08-20 20:49:06 +0000 UTCI almost wonder if this was Jennifer having a test the waters moment? "How does this new fuddie I met react to the idea of changing themselves? A-yep, overly extreme reaction, we're keeping that trans thing shoved deep in the closet for this floors sanity."

2024-08-19 19:01:28 +0000 UTCoh that's just every other Wednesday for me!

2024-08-19 16:01:43 +0000 UTCThe good kind of weird, not the conservative weird (aka Mary).

2024-08-19 14:15:17 +0000 UTCSomething “off” about Carla? Sure, the intense narcissism and sprinting up and down the public halls on roller skates. But that has zero to do with anything else.

2024-08-19 09:42:15 +0000 UTCJoyce is the best at noticing when people act weird, of course

2024-08-19 05:34:22 +0000 UTCShe probably knows that she starts misgendering somewhere other people can hear her they gonna beat her ass into next month.

2024-08-19 05:14:31 +0000 UTCJust noticed something curious, Mary still reffers to Carla by the correct pronouns. Even though Mary is the worst. This may be just because this liberal anti-christian satan comic is written by a snowflake (HEAVY sarcasm), but I do find it odd that Mary would be correct in pronouns. (maybe a pie in the face helped correct Mary in the past)

2024-08-19 04:13:22 +0000 UTCThe flashback nests inside one utterance showing reflection in progress. Are we now going to get a month of Joyce re-framing, both figuratively and on the page, all of her past interactions with Carla? Also of note is that we went from "penis"-is-funny to penis-not-funny in just a couple of strips.

2024-08-19 04:07:44 +0000 UTCSo, is she or isn't she...? (not a natural redhead)

2024-08-19 04:02:56 +0000 UTCEdit: Oop, Berenstain Bears moment. This is what she was wearing in her first tagged strips however. https://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/03-up-all-night-to-get-vengeance/beer-weiser/ I remember when this happened I think, I'll see if I can find it

2024-08-19 04:02:51 +0000 UTCJoyce: Carla can’t possibly be trans! Her hooters are too big! Mary: UGH! You idiot! She took a cocktail of stolen female hormones, and— Joyce: *has already teleported to Carla* Carla! Is it true you’re in the possession of MAGIC BOOB MEDICINE?
