Unused strip for April 9, 2024

This early version of April 9th's strip doesn't have a joke, it just kind of ends in a little bittersweet back and forth between Dorothy and Joyce that plods along panel-by-panel and rests on a moment? I mean, it's fine. It's just hard to springboard off that into Things Happening Subsequently, I think were the reasons for retooling it a bit. Chop chop, gotta get the narrative flowing! I got the Dorothy moment that I wanted. Best not to keep poking at it, looking back at the reader, and going EHHH? EHHH???

Here's the final:

Honestly miss the "Then I get hurt" beat panel, even if ending on the punchline works better both for the tone and pace of the story arc

Joe indicated he liked Joyce the way she was. I kinda wish he'd prove his manhood (however incipient) by rescuing Joyce and Dorothy from the bar before they get thrown out or picked up by some sleaze.
