Love!!! Andy’s shirts are always amazing, as well as Scout’s hats.
I feel like their clothing is pretty spot on in this comic for what they are both going through.
Anna, if you made these hats and shirts available for purchase through either your own website or Autostraddle I would buy LITERALLY ALL OF THEM
LIFE GOAL!!
You should talk to autostraddle merch people! I hate shopping and I never feel compelled to buy clothes but those shirts are perfect
Scout’s face in that one panel ahahahahah! :^D
This is great :+)
I’ve only once fucked a roommate. Yeah…didn’t turn out so great. Cannot recommend. This comic, I can.
yiiikkkeeeessss!!
We’ve all been there….
The one time I had a crush on a roommate I told her and I am so glad that I did. My feelings were not reciprocated but it was such a relief to have them out in the open as something that could be recognized and discussed instead of something that I had to hide. It let me do a lot of roommate and friend things that otherwise I would have been like “is this a date???” and be able to answer “no Alice, this is not a date, calm down, you are having fun with your friend.”
This is good! Usually when people have crushes I advise them to just come out and admit it to the person they have a crush on. Either it works out great, or you can get over it quicker (which is also great)
Aww, yay! Andy with a crush is almost as great as Scout with a crush.
Minus a burrito.
I mean… Ari probably loves burritos. She probably was going to her room to eat a burrito in peace without Andy hovering over her.
I am both of these when I have a crush, but very very little Andy so really it’s just me being like “I should do something to let them know I like them!” and then the rest of me going “DON’T DO ANYTHING. LEAVE IT ALONE. LET IT FADE. MOVE TO A DIFFERENT STATE.”
I also have this internal debate every time I have a crush.
That’s pretty spot on
omg hahaha yes!
I love this. It reminds of DTWOF, but for our generation.
the panel with the zinger heart is a direct parallel of this one panel of lois that is my faaaavorite, from early days of DTWOF where lois is dating a recently-divorced lady who swans out of the cafe they’re at and lois does this wistful pining thing. idk what it is about it, just like, wistful pining + queer crush.
OOoooooO if it is a direct parallel I did not realize it! But also that is rad and such a compliment!
I hooked up with a housemate. We were fine, but our other housemate gave us both black eyes because she fancied both of us. Punching people is a bad way to say you like them tho.
Also, I am disappointed Andy does not like Settlers of Catan. How about Ticket to Ride, Andy??
THIS IS AN EPIC STORY! Holy crap! That sounds crazy intense and dramatic!
ALSO Probably not. Andy isn’t much to table top games (but loves puzzles)
Yes! I hate Settlers of Catan! I do love this comic though!
Oh my goodness. <3
Andy is a total babe and their shirts are always amazing omg
I see that Lush snapback deal going on. Helloooo Minneapolis.
you got it!!
I think this should be a weekly feature. The other comics should continue to rotate, but there should always be Scout.
If I ever get my life and finances together I would love this!
Tbh though a passionate feelings of dislike for Settlers of Catan are what I look for in a crush
SAME!
I realized I had a crush on my roommate (but suppressed the feelings b/c whut ur not gay!) and it was actually part of how I found out I was mayyyybe not straight. So, thanks roommate who I don’t talk to anymore for helping me figure out I’m bisexual!
