Awwwwwwwwwwww!
I…feel so heartbroken for zoey. She looks so…gods, this is as sad as bambi…
Aaaaaaaaaand then came the sadness. Poor girl.
Aww… 8^/
Crushed.
Oooh…..The feels…Right in them….
I can hear something drop and shattered to pieces.
…..well….ah…HEY! She said she was the best …! Yea!?
That’s great! I see no problems! Nope…none!
sigh….called it
My feels hurt.
@ shadowhammer123:
Wait, rejected feelings equates to killing babies mothers?
Oh, man. I know Zoey can be a major bitch, but this is sad.
Oh dear, knew this would not go well for Zoey. 🙁
This could have turned out a lot worse for sure, but for the life of me I can’t actually think of any right now.
Zoey dodged a bullet in one respect, but now her heart hurts. 🙁
Hopefully Sandra or Larissa can do something to help her feel better (from a purely platonic standpoint before anyone says anything)
IS ANYONE ELSE CONCERNED THAT IT ISN’T THE 17th YET? I think the date is wrong. Or maybe it’s just my time zone.
Seems this ship was sunk by canon.
Oh my, I’m so punny.
Why must you hit me right in the feels on my birthday.
Sooo, Michelle isn’t gonna be here girlfriend…. this is just a thought but, maybe, Larisa?
Its your timezone@ IAmCowHearMeMoo:
@ IAmCowHearMeMoo:
It is the 17th in Europe, where the authors seem to be based. Germany maybe?
@ IAmCowHearMeMoo:
It’s your time zone.
@ Fred:
Germany indeed. That’s where Novil is from; not Powree.
And I should have read the other comments before posting first. It’s even a lesson I’ve learned before. Might be because I’m in the same time zone with Novil…
Ah, but things could so easily change. I could imagine Michelle calling on Zoey that evening…
Michelle: Hi, Zoey! Check this out – Tara Trendsetter has been advised by her publicist to come out, and it looks like half of the non-threatening girl bands in the charts are going to follow her lead! Gay is moving up a notch or two in the popularity stakes, so… sorry about earlier, and can we practice kissing now? Y’know, to be ahead of the curve?
Zoey: Er, sure! Pucker up, close your eyes, and think of It-Girl!
Awww poor Zoey….
I kind of wish that she and Larisa would get together, but Larisa actually has a decent boyfriend, so I wouldn’t want them to break up…
@ IAmCowHearMeMoo:
It is here in Germany (CEST or UTC+2), where at least parts of the team behind the comic are based 🙂
@ CDRom11:
@ Astre:
I don’t think Larisa is gay. She seems to have given the possibility of being a lesbian some thought, and she knows that she is straight.
So, call me ignorant, but is her issue that she’s acting like a really gay lesbo, or just a lesbo in general?
I mean, the last panel makes it clear that Zoey thinks it’s the latter, but, I dunno. Maybe I’m just being hopeful that it’s a misinterpretation, and that she didn’t just break down the closet door with a fiery chainsaw for nothing.
aaww i feel so bad for her
Wow. Despite being a major beotch, I can’t help but feel sorry for Zoey. Maybe that explains some of her animosity toward Sandra and Larisa.
@ Astre:
Well… if Larisa is permissive about her orientation…
she might also be permissive about monogamy…
This conversation is perhaps getting a bit, ah, in-depth* for these schoolchildren.
*i.e. creepy
That title got me.
Oh, and the pure ignorance of Michelle.
That got me too.
Awww poor girl!
I feel bad for her, which says a lot about the quality of the writing. It takes good writing to make someone feel bad for the character that was introduced as “that arrogant bitch Zoey.”
@IAmCowHearMeMoo
Your time zone is not the same as the one from which the comic is published; it’s still wednesday for me too.
I appreaciate your Arrogant Worms reference, though! You must be from Canada too, it’d explain the time zone.
SOB Zoey looks so crushed in that last panel :'(
How is Michelle so oblivious?
@Leomon
@Astre
@Me-me Larisa doesn’t like Zoe on general principles. She goes out of her way to be…um, unpleasant.
However, what happens next is up to Novil.
Aww. I didn’t think she would take it well, but damn that was soul-crushingly harsh. Zoey’s best friend and crush not only just shot her down, but showed utter contempt for a part of who she is that she likely is struggling with coming to terms with already.
Please don’t go dark with this. I like this web comic for the happy light heartedness of it.
@ CDRom11:
Nah, Larissa got Landon already and she already confirmed in the comic that she’s not a Lesbian.
…ouch.
This is a surprise to me, because this was roughly my reading of the strip Monday:
Michelle: “Hey, those doe eyes you were making at me in there? Let’s pretend that didn’t happen so we can stay just the way we are!”
Zoey: “No.”
I’m not sure what she thinks now, if she’s really missed it, or if she’s just playing dumb, now more forcefully, for the same reason. If it’s the latter, she’s one lousy friend.
Now that I think about it – “you’re looking the wrong way” – she can’t not at least suspect. She’s just… well… awful.
I can only hope Larisa sees this as an opportunity to “get” Michelle, rather than to pour salt in Zoey’s wound. Nothing brings people together like hate.
But then again, Larisa has been nothing if not vindictive with Zoey… sigh…
something tells me…when she finds out about her friend sexuality..and remember the comment she made to her…she going to be really mad at her self
Awwww. Looks like a part of heart breaker storyline. http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/10/07/0517-heartbreakers/

Dunno if she’s – strictly speaking – straight as much as she’s tuned into the fun of tormenting cute male age-peers who still think girls got cooties.
Has Larissa ever evinced anything like a crush on any adult male?
It is curious how the moral biases shift over the years. We are, now, as a society so afraid of being perceived as homophobes that we’re incapable of finding fault where there actually is. I see most people here are sympathetic to Zoey… but what would happen if Zoey were a Zack? And he still was in love with Michelle and still could help himself to steal a kiss? I can imagine the outcries of “harassment”, the varied epithets he’d be called including gems such as “creep”, “horndog”, “typical male”, “rapist”, etc., and finally the demands for him to be punished and labelled for life as a sexual predator.
But if it’s another girl? It is cute and pure and not objectionable at all?
I hate to say it, but I saw that coming.
@ Pylgrim:
Quite true, although I think a considerable amount of people also sympathize with Zoey because they can’t view the situation in the same serious light as they would in real life. To them it has more to do with the tone of the comic (which varies between completely silly, lighthearted and downright preachy) than the fear of being seen as homophobes. That said, I also readily admit that the double standard you speak of does exist and also contributes to the reaction we’re witnessing.
Tsundere much?
…I think Michelle might be in denial. And I think Zoey needs to learn to act with a bit more subtlety and not set herself up for disappointment. I still feel a bit sorry for her in this instance though… … And I kind of hope there can be like a bonding thing with the main characters and she can learn not to be so aggravating to people and she can feel good and find love and develop to be a mature and healthy person… Not to be overly demanding or anything.
@ IAmCowHearMeMoo:
It’s your time zone, I have the same thing.
so either Michelle is straight or she is a tsundere; I haven’t decided which yet and I think Larisa is actually bi.
I never thought I would feel the feels over Zoey but I do feel these feels over her. Poor Zoey and Poor feels of mine.
Well here in Canada it is considered normal for some reason… But anyway if we are talking about fictional comic then poor Zoey, if Michelle thinks that Zoey is the best then why don’t she just become a really gay Lesbian. (This advice wouldn’t work if it were a non-fictional situation as real life has a lot more complications than fiction)
