Friends! I will be at Rose City Comic Con this weekend, at table S09! RCCC is my last show of the year, and I love it so much – Portland, always a blast every time I see you – so please stop by the table if you’re in the area and say hi! The best part of doing this is meeting you and nerding out about comics and moms kissing. <3 <3

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (open panel, a portrait of Eris: a beautiful woman in a chef uniform with a high ponytail carrying a pitcher of mimosas)
Eris: Hello everyone. Alex.
off-panel: Hey, Eris.
Panel 2 (no dialogue; Alex is glaring daggers at Alys, who is shrugging cheerfully)
Panel 3 (Eris pours mimosa into a glass)
Eris: How’s life in the suburbs? As quiet as you expected?
Panel 4 (Alex looking up mulishly at Eris, as Imogen sits beside her, also looking at Eris)
Alex: There’s good parts.
Panel 5 (Eris, looking down with a smug look)
Eris: How’s the house?
Alex: Fine.
Eris: I’m surprised you haven’t sold it yet. That’s quite the commitment – for you.
Akdjjfkshd hi Eris 😶💦🌈
It feels like the wobble on the speech bubble tail between “Hello everyone” and “Alex” says more than any words on the page.
Oof Eris is tasty. My gay ass cannot.
So much subtext and that’s all you really need!
