Inside a late-night diner, Buffy and Trudy sit together in a booth under warm fluorescent lighting. Buffy smiles and says the best part of the night is “no drunks, no lights, just breakfast with my favorite person.” Trudy points out that Buffy’s favorite person is literally herself. Buffy grins and adds, “If loving myself is wrong… I’m still doing it twice.” The window behind them shows total darkness outside. Across the booth, Juicy rests her chin on her hand beside an unfinished pink milkshake. She looks unimpressed and says, “Infinite timelines and she still found a way to date her own reflection. Peak Buffy behavior.” The fluorescent lights give the scene a tired, after-hours glow. Buffy drapes an arm around Trudy with a smug smile as Juicy glares. Buffy teases, “What, you jealous?” Juicy replies flatly, “Nah. Just nauseous. Go fuck yourself.” Buffy smirks and says, “Oh, trust me—scheduled.” Coffee cups and half-eaten plates sit on the table beneath the late-night diner lights.Promotional comic panel titled “Aftercare & Advertising” with three neon pink icons on a black background: a globe with a cursor, a Bluesky butterfly, and a Patreon P shape.

Bonus panel for the NSFW tiers on my Patreon. Bonus panels are NSFW, but not needed to get the joke/etc. in the more SFW version.

This setup has been planned since the third strip. I wanted to include it in that strip, but the initial explanation that they were multiversal variants didn't allow for enough extra space to have a third person in it to say, "Go fuck yourself". So I had to put it on the back burner for a bit.

Juicy was always going to be the person to say it. Speaking of her... I'm thinking I want to change her hair. I felt I needed to have her retain the Legacy timeline look for her arrival here, but now I think I'm able to change it up. I would prefer doing something with spot blacks, like Zoey in the reboot has, but give her some curls. That's on my todo list... to figure out her new look.
