  1. Lmao 🤣

    Talita discreetly trying to leave like the “holdup” SpongeBob meme is not helping either 😂

  2. Time is so hard to depict in comics, and _comedic_ timing is an order of magnitude more difficult, but you’ve completely nailed it here! Still funny on the third read-through!

  3. The expressions are killing me this is so good :’D

  4. This is my new favorite page! I am really hoping Idrisah WHIPS around to point at and scold Talita next before she escapes.

  5. gillie’s computer background… beans??

  6. Talita’s face is priceless

  7. Hopes that Talita could stand up and block view of the screen with her massive body… dashed

  8. I am *howling,* every panel here is flawless XD

  9. I LOVE THIS PAGE IT’S HILARIOUS

    “souped up malware” oh Idrisah’s bringing out the AI racial epithets now

    also I love Talita trying to leave the house quietly like CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP

  10. And exit stage right for Talita

  11. Run Talita run!

  12. Guestie McGuestor

    “YOU! You digital homewrecker!” XD

    1. Guestie McGuestor

      Also? Loving Talita trying to slink away in the back. XD

  13. Bruce Mickelson

    This is comedy gold!

  14. The artstyle suddenly got a bit more cartooney woaah (unless I am misreading somehow fhdhdhs) but gjfjdhs all the reactions and talita trying to sneak off… incredible….. Big Fan Of These Drawings In Particular

  15. Talita’s little pinchy scared hands… and then “I’ll see myself out 🫥”

  16. TALITA TRYING TO SNEAK OUT …. very inconspicuous I’m sure this will go so very well. GOD I love this comic

    I don’t think im ever going to get over the expressions you do

    1. Rad Internet Stranger

      Side note, I wonder, can Gillie hear the faintest noises if it’s loud enough or can she not hear anything at all?? I’m curious because I know deafness isn’t always as cut and dry as cannot pick up any kind of sound no matter how loud it is

      1. Like, how well could Gillie pick up the ‘groaning’ infrasonic noises Talita makes when she’s really upset? if it’s loud enough to shake the walls …

      2. I think totally. Being off-model means surgical options are too risky, but if she had partial hearing that opens up non-invasive options to amplify sound like the hearing aids we have today – I bet she would have liked that better than caption glasses.

  18. It looks like Talita is standing up now and in the process of walking out.

  19. Absolutely fantastic insult/retort by Idrisah in the last panel.

  20. gods, Gillie and Talita’s faces in that last panel, they’re great!!

  21. PHENOMENAL expressions on display! Gillie releasing the screen to hide Bip, Idrisah pulling it back down like she’s grabbing them by the shirt, Talita’s crumpled-trunk grimace, ARG! All SO GOOD!!!!
