Who is Jamie?
I appreciate the fact that Jeph casually mentioned Jamie being nonbinary.
Just looked back and noticed it’s the same teen that sneakily poked their head up upon Winslow’s arrival and that May broomed out last strip.
I ship purple-haired-teen with Jamie.
Bad advice. When you're a teenager (and/or a young adult), going after a girl can be *exactly* the motivation you need to push yourself to the next level. And if you have the right attitude, she doesn't even have to accept you. You just dip into that well of "like" whenever you need a stimulant to keep yourself going when you feel like quitting.
Sure, if you're at school or already working at the same place as them. Applying for a job at their company specifically to try and get close to them is going too far.
Remember kids, only take AP English if you have a good reason, like padding a college transcript.
feel May's words in panel one needs stage direction i.e. (channeling tor johnson)-"darr. Girl! girl Pretty!!"
YOU MADE THE TWINK SAD
This one really made me laugh. Sometimes it is useful to have a bunch of teens around, to have someone to bitch with about emotional issues.
Damn, May, having a conscience is a bitch, innit? (Hah! Spooky bot is masquerading as emo human!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I wonder if using the name "Jamie" was another shout-out to Run the Jewels, or just a coincidence? Also all this is a good motivation for Winslow to learn to be more persistent and not be discouraged by single comment (even from a very close person). He won't get Roko without it. UPD: of course I meant persistent as "be more confident in yourself and your choices", not as "be a creepy stalker until something bad happens" way.
"He won't get Roko^H ^H ^H ^H ^H ^H ^H ^H become a stalker without it."
Interesting. I just noticed that the Juul teen has vertical irises. Anybody else see that?
I doubt Winslow is that clueless. I think he played the part and purposely left May hanging. A truly great exit!
Awwwww.... May... you JUST told him it's not your place to tell him how to live his life and NOW you're shooting down his ideas. You have issues w/ seeing other people having chances (albeit naive) at being happy.
Imma be honest, most of y’all are being problematic af right now. Hiring onto a company solely because you have a crush on one of the employees is creepy, unprofessional and a very quick way to make life difficult for yourself. May said exactly the right thing to Winslow, because his sole motivation to join there stemmed from attraction to someone else. It’s not right, it’s not professional and it’s hella disrespectful to the person in question because you’re basically treating the job they do as a dating service. If Winslow wants to work there, he needs to want to work THERE, not because it gives him easy access to his perceived ideal person.
Tl;dr: His crush is cute, his thought process was not and it needed to be brought to a screeching halt ASAP. May did the right thing.
May is a lot like me. blunt and perhaps sometimes unaware even when well meaning.
And then they’ll all hate Smart Chris when they admit they randomly put down answers on the SATs and somehow got a perfect score. (This happened in my class with the ACT, which a perfect score of 36 isn’t as impressive as a perfect score of 2400 on the SAT. Still, the class wanted to kill the guy. Even worse; he was a jock.)
Is it 2400 now? God, I'm old, and I didn't know it.
Is the Teen the aforementioned Jamie, or is the reference to someone else named Jamie?
unless Jamie is talking about Jamie, Jamie is the teen's friend
Gee, May, consequence much?
very important does jamie use they/them pronouns
Either that or juul person is unsure.
As much as May has a point, I think Winslow would be really suited for that field since it would give him a chance to use his connections with Hannelore for a positive influence. I hope she finds him and can encourage him to actually pursue it.
Winslow standing around awestruck as Beeps bumps into him is not a career model.
Have teens. Can relate.
Anyone else have conversations with themself where they play both Winslow and May?
Yes. Far too frequently for my own good.
DAMNIT MAY.
That sound we all heard was Winslow's coolant pump breaking. Yes, you could have put that better, May!
