Alien Romance, the Daily comic

[gs_silva]

"Happy birthday, Ella! Are you throwing a party this year?" Christine asks Ella.

The birthday/Halloween party was a big deal in the graphic novel. Maurice, being crowd-averse, sneaked off and then went to the health clinic to get his arm cast removed, and on his way back, he saw Cathy walking home and proposed to her on the sidewalk. If you enjoy awkward marriage proposals, that was definitely one.

"Of course!" Ella replies. "We're borrowing a lightshow set from the neighbors. It's going to be fantastic! How's med school?"

Med school is difficult, but Christine loves it. She describes how she got caught in the middle of a gender war, and is siding with her fellow female med students even though one prof sometimes mistakes her for a dude.

"I wish I was there to help you harangue those jerks," Ella laments.

"Yeah! We need you," Christine agrees.

I found a device that allows me to crosspost my comics here from the Patreon, but it's not perfect - it's extremely slow, the keys stick and are prone to typos, and the touchpad works only sporadically so it's difficult to correct those typos. Anyway, here's today's comic too:
