Guys I think she noticed

Idrisah: (ASL) Gillie, the farmers got me on the way home again. Could you stand another loaf of zucchini bread, or—
She looks up and is confused to see Talita is in the room, cringing guiltily. Gillie reaches over surreptitiously and presses a button to retract the scroll monitor that's displaying Bip's avatar. Idrisah's look of surprise transforms into a glare. She storms over angrily and yanks the monitor screen back down.
Idrisah: YOU! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Bip: I’m not in your house, this is just a weirdly formatted video call–
Idrisah: Don’t get prescriptivist with me, you souped up malware!
Gillie glances over her shoulder at Talita, who is attempting to quietly leave.

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

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!

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

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

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 …
Joysweeper
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.
Greenjoe
It looks like Talita is standing up now and in the process of walking out.
DasGanon
Absolutely fantastic insult/retort by Idrisah in the last panel.
Amanda/OwlBear

boxesofboxes
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!!!!
