This is something I wanted to happen earlier, but sometimes comics are hard, and I imagined it stretched out longer, but it turns out fictional conflict makes me anxious too, and I didn’t want to leave you all with a big ball of tension until next week.
I am thinking about things, more things to do and make and share with you, cause I like y’all.
Thanks for reading! Love, RJ.

↓ TranscriptWREN: Someone asked me how long I’ve been in this country.
SAM: Well... you can’t judge the whole group based on one person’s ignorance.
WREN: It was the club president.
SAM: They’ve... always been very nice.
WREN: That wasn’t the only thing said to me. I felt a little bit like their new favorite show.
SAM: I’ve never... I mean, I didn’t notice...
WREN: WELL OF COURSE you didn’t. But I’m telling you now.
SAM: But I just didn’t... er...
WREN: Are you trying to defend them?
SAM: No, I... I just want to make friends.
WREN: Great. Friends. Go ahead.
SAM: I didn’t mean... You are my friend, Wren.
WREN: Then why don’t you give a shit about how people treat me?
SAM: I do! I mean... I’m sorry. I wouldn’t... I won’t invite anyone into my life who doesn’t respect you.
SAM: I should have been clear on that. We’re still friends?
WREN: ...Yes. Shit. If we weren’t friends, I wouldn’t be mad. Just disorientingly witty.
I want to hug them both so much after that conversation. Wren: introduce Sam to Nhi and Jae and the others. At least they’re people you know aren’t racist twerps.
Poor Wren never seems to catch a break…
IMPERFECT CHARACTERS THAT LISTEN TO ONE ANOTHER AND APOLOGIZE FOR ACCIDENTAL PRIVILEGED STATEMENTS!?!?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS
p.s. love the comic
