Veronica: God, Lucy’s expression in panel 8.. what a tragedy.

Not in terms of the art, it’s just a tragedy for her to try to make light of Mike being someone not worth picking, but we all know how she feels about him. It’s almost like she’s struggling to make that joke because she doesn’t want to become too vulnerable to him. Especially right now. When he’s pining for another girl.

Lucy has always had a soft side. it only comes out when it’s really needed though. Like to comfort the one she loves but can’t have. That takes heart even though she’s probably crying on the inside she’s still cheering up mike.

This is one thing I liked about Lucy, she was able to comfort her friends well and showed a really nice soft side.

I really hope that Mike has a complete change of heart after this and does the right thing and apologizes to Lucy and maybe takes it more casually with Sandy?
