I know this is a family comic, but that's a little weird. After an intense romantic scene, they changed out of their party clothes, and into casual ones?

Well, who wants to chill out and relax while wearing dressy clothes? They don't tend to be the most comfortable.

I think she's getting an inadvertent message from a victim. Why this is happening now I dont know.

It's Patrick, having a very bad day. I'm guessing he's been hit by the trend of people's powers getting stronger, or something else is up with his telepathy. Given Allison's strange dreams and visions, it's likely that he's gained the ability to protect to minds (possibly uncontrolled) as well as read them.

Someone in the comments made a good point - this is almost certainly going to lead to an awkward moment when Clevin comes back.

Interesting scar he has there.

I wonder if his being drunk is intended to block out his telepathy.

Huh... "which body".

I suspect that this means that Patrick doesn't just read thoughts, but rather finds himself identifying with those people, sharing the thoughts.

Possibly. Probably depends on how long he spends together with them.

Or he could have had some sort of a regular psych disorder that made him think that before getting superpowers.

We've previously established that Patrick has difficulty distinguishing his own ideas/beliefs from others' (or whatever you take "can't read your own mind" to mean) and that he "doesn't really identify as a person."

Huh. And she mentions the "snowflake" bit during the conversation. Probably a callback, but I'm too lazy to archive trawl.

Yeah, looks like powers are growing stronger and Patrick isn't coping well. Someone needs a psychic Faraday cage...

Looks like I was right. He probably did something to himself.

Patrick is having trouble coping. Does the last panel indicate that Allison's been pulled into his mind, or is it just symbolic of her realizing just how tightly locked away he is?

Pretty sure the latter. It helps explain her random visions earlier. Apparently his power boost means he can finally project thoughts instead of just hearing them.

So I saw this thing get torn to pieces on a bad webcomics tumblr. Is it basically two steps above Sinfest?

My various fanfics.

I haven't read Sinfest in an awfully long time, but my gut feeling is "no". This series is a fairly realistic take on superpowers and how one can have a ton of power, but feel powerless from time to time, and struggling with morality when you really could just do what you wanted and the odds are no one could stop you.

It's taken some brief trips into areas like the violence women face, but it's all in the context of what one does with power.
