Guys I think she noticed
Transcript
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.

TALITA LEAVING I CANT
kate
trying to decide what my favorite part of this page is and i think I’ve settled on bip’s stance in the second panel, it’s just so good
zaratustra
Gillie’s face on the third panel
Bramble
Yes Gillie, rolling up the monitor is definitely going to solve the problem, good job.

Calling an AI “malware” seems a bit racist.
Ruby
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!

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

This is my new favorite page! I am really hoping Idrisah WHIPS around to point at and scold Talita next before she escapes.
Teod
Even if she manages to just escape – someone will hear Idrisah yelling “get out” and see Talita getting out. Some misunderstandings are about to happen.

gillie’s computer background… beans??

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

Aries
TALITA TRYING TO SNEAK OUT …. very inconspicuous I’m sure this will go so very well. GOD I love this comic
Rad Internet Stranger
I don’t think im ever going to get over the expressions you do

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
waterfan2
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.
mossrabbit
if i remember correctly, gillie doesn’t have any hearing at all (medically it’s called profound deafness but i’m not sure if that’s the term preferred by the community). when she ‘heard’ talita’s groaning, it was more like how sounds that are loud or deep enough can be felt, since (ALSO if i remember correctly) sound IS a physical force or at least one capable of being felt. if you’ve ever been near a road and had a large semi-truck pass by, the odd pressure you feel as it goes is your body “feeling” the sound.
fun fact: it’s actually not uncommon for deaf folks to use very loud sounds as ways to alert themselves, even if they have no hearing at all, especially when living alone, BECAUSE sound can be felt
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
gods, Gillie and Talita’s faces in that last panel, they’re great!!
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!!!!
