Joyce and Walky!

A great follow-up page from yesterday’s.  Going from the rapid succession of panels to these wider shots works for the pacing.  I also like this page.  Not as much as yesterday’s, but only because this doesn’t have as many faces.

Also, damn, parents, you should know better than to have your affairs right in front of the front door.

For years, I’d hinted that Ruth and Howard’s dad got into trouble and that Billie’s mom kind of got around.  Here’s where those hints eventually collided.  (Of course, the way these strips are being ordered, the reveal comes before most of the hints, at least as far as Billie’s mom’s stuff is concerned.)
