@Sajuuk-Khar: Yes! I had the same reaction. The preview panel made it look like we were simply going to get a smash cut from Happy!Horny! Joyce/Joe to StillSad!StillLonely! Dorothy, and instead we got Peeved!Becky and Zen!Dorothy. I will say that Dorothy should probably let Becky know that she's no longer the only one who knows the Secret Yale Secret (although I think Becky's still the only person to whom she's opened up about her specific reasoning, which makes sense since it directly involves her).

2024-05-03 05:14:04 +0000 UTCI think Dan Rabin may be a bit off-target here. The contrast seems to be between Becky being jealous about Joyce doing college wildness without her (which is what Dorothy assumes), and Joyce being drunk and physical with Dorothy (which Becky may well fear). The strip at the link actually suggests that Becky would prefer Joyce-with-Joe to any level of Joyce-with-Dorothy.

2024-05-03 04:13:53 +0000 UTCMy take: Dorothy is responding to the wrong jealousy in Becky's tangle. Establishing that Joyce is not in Dorothy's bed is only the first stop this morning: Joyce is not in Joyce's bed, either. Just yesterday: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-14/03-trystin-in-the-wind/complex/

2024-05-03 04:00:55 +0000 UTCThe view rectangle of the last panel just barely overlaps that of the first panel, so that the strip starts with Dorothy and leaves with Becky without the camera moving at all.
