Surprised Joyce is capable of that kind of deception.

I liked the Lord of the Rings films but I can understand the length being a problem for someone who dosen't.

The ripples of Mullins-time begin to spread...I wonder how many other things we'll be seeing Joyce have a reaction to that runs counter to her previous thinking before someone starts asking questions.

Had you asked me "guess who in the DO Averse is really into Halloween?", I probably would've eventually guessed Sara, but it wouldn't have been one of my first guesses.

I would’ve guessed Amber as she’s the only one who puts put any of the signals that I would’ve picked up on, but I am very pleased that it is Sarah.

I think this is more the result of her latest character development involving Sal.

I'm pretty sure that Joyce is also somewhat affected by Joe's comments here

Well I applaud Joyce for the effort she's putting into her conduct. But this comic isn't called Healthy Personal Growthing Of Age

Also entering uninvited and looming over Sal until she woke up is how Joyce learned that Sal sleeps naked.

How did "salty" even become a thing in the first place? I didn't start hearing it in that context till about 2 or 3 years ago.

I think it started in the fighting game community and spread to other games until the meme becane officially recognized by webster dictionary.

Well, I suppose there's some precedent for this exact strategy working. I just hope they don't do anything too stupid. Like not letting Marcie in on the plan.

I'm not sure I follow what's going on here. Is Sal realizing Malaya likes Marcie? Realizing she likes Marcie? Getting some Three's Company-esque wacky hijinks in mind as suggested [up]?

[down] Glad it's not just me.

I think she's mad because she realized Becky and Joyce are right that pretending to like Marcie will... do something? I don't get it.

[up][up]It's very simple. Marcie wants Malaya. Malaya wants to piss off Sal. Sal wants Marcie to be happy. So the Lesbian Love Sleuths suggest that Sal pretends to be into Marcie, thus prompting to Malaya to try and snatch the Marcie away from Sal, probably resulting into at least one doinking.

As for why Sal reacted the way she did, she probably thinks of Joyce (and by extension Becky) as an airheaded, naive busybody. The fact that they managed to come up with a simple, obvious solution* that Sal couldn't think of kinda rocked her world.

Wouldn't Sal being into Marcie just make Malaya want to annoy her even further?

Oh wait so Sal wants Marcie and Malaya to bang?

[up]Yes, because that would make Marcie happy.
