wat
What exactly are the stacks of things strewn about the apartment?
Comics, I guess?
My guess is pizza boxes, as he has been too busy with all the sex to stock a proper pantry.
I’m gonna guess pizza boxes, since Jacob supposedly hasn’t left his apartment for days on end, and he’s gotta get food somehow.
He was with a bunch of girls for days on end, I’m pretty sure he ate more than pizza.
^Somehow I’m sure that’ll get taken out of context.
How dare you imply something naughty! As if he would EVER eat sushi!
Least its not sausage…
Something fishy was involved, yes.
Somehow? That was BEGGING to be taken out of context
How DARE you suggest the girls are cooking him dinner! So sexist…
as long as they are not happy/sad tissues then i think everything will be ok…
Money. Large stacks of money that Roz is extorting from women who wish to sex up Jacob. Y’know, probably.
Spare sets of linens. Between being stolen by fleeing minorities, and (ab)normal wear-and-tear, he needs plenty of back-stock.
Willis? Settle this, please. What ARE those stacks?
So… this means we’re saying goodbye to Jacob? Aww, that’s sad.
But then we’ll have to change the logo cast shot! OH NOOOOO.
Why isn’t Roz wearing pants? What are those stacks of mystery? Is Jacob standing at the door bare ass naked?
This strip raises nothing but questions!
“Why isn’t Roz wearing pants?”
She just had sex with him, again.
And, should anyone be going to ask why she is wearing a shirt: After sex she was sweaty, thus cold. Not wanting to have her back stiffen up, thus preventing more sex, she put on a shirt while using her computer.
I assume she has been there since she went in the first time.
This is based on how some of my days went in the old days. I admit I have NO clue on the piles of mystery, newspapers maybe? A compulsive hoarder as well as a sex addict?
Well, Roz is obviously sitting pantsless in front of a laptop because she’s a camwhore. She apparently makes money off of recording herself doing sexy things, like say banging a hot guy like Jacob. I suspect the stacks are of money and that Jacob no longer needs his job at the store because Roz offered him a partnership in her line of work.
Ew
I have to agree, as much as it pains me to do so…
he’s fapping into the doorframe, isn’t he
But how can he be dramatic and emo with proper lighting?!
So the big question is: Why is Roz still there? She got what she wanted from him. Surely she’s not doing something… GASP! Helpful to Jacob?!
I kinda doubt it, but with Willis you never know. But if she is trying to be helpful… in what manner is she going about it? She is doesn’t believe in sexual addiction, so obviously she’s not going to be helping him with that. I doubt she believes enough in “romance” (which I don’t deem that to be Jacob’s feelings at the moment, so much as infatuation), to try and help him win Amber.
So, what is she doing there, without pants and with a laptop… unless… she’s been live-streaming them having sex…?
Roz is still there because she’s addicted to the drama. Drama addiction must run in the DeSanto family.
That would actually make a lot of sense honestly…
well Roz did say she would back off if Amber said that Jacob was her man.
I don’t think so… Jacob isn’t Amber’s man and Roz is completely aware of that. Amber has not demonstrated any romantic feelings for Jacob, and has only shown friendly concern for him. And if Roz were backing off, she wouldn’t be sitting in Jacob’s room with no pants on.
Frankly I can’t believe Roz was considerate enough not to announce her presence so Amber knew she was in there. She actually shut up until Amber went away.
I-I’m a little disappointed. I know Roz is kind of the fandom punching bag (for good reason, admittedly), but I’m addicted to the drama assholes inherently create.
I’m surprised Roz didn’t yell out “Jacob banged the shit out of your Mom last night.” The fact that she didn’t speak at all is truly shocking.
C’mon, Roz may be a bitch sometimes (or most of the time), but she’s not Mike.
That at least is true.
Mike’s funny.
Mike is mean, Roz is manipulative. It’s a big difference.
Mike would yell that just to see you cry.
Roz would save that info until she could use it to her advantage.
Both are manipulative, but in different ways. Roz just wants to create the most interesting situation possible. That can be good or bad for the people involved. Mike just wants to hurt everyone around him. That is ALWAYS bad for the people involved.
Roz’s approach has the potential to cause way more damage because she doesn’t seem to really plan things out beyond “I’ll do X and see what happens.” On the other hand, it also has the potential to do more good (ie, Leslie’s kitten, and Roz’s indirectly helping Robin come to terms with herself in the first arc she was in.)
Basically, Mike is malicious, while Roz is amoral. Which one is worse is obviously up for debate.
I think someone once said “better to deal with the evil you can see, rather than the one you can’t.” Honestly, I agree with this. I’d prefer Mike’s behavior (at least he’s honest about his been an asshole) as opposed to Ross being a manipulative, two-faced, witch who claims to have your best interest in heart, but will throw you under the bus first chance she gets if it helps her last longer.
They cant get rid of Jacob….he the only black guy out of everyone…cant kill him off now…. or @ an epic battle 1st
Where’s Ronnie? He was the only US President they had.
They *have* to get rid of Jacob.
Every SP! character is contractually obliged to turn gay within the year of their first appearance.
Amber is going to wonder where Roz is and go to her camwhore site and see Roz riding Jacob like an unbreakable bronk.
Yup.
Well, there went the token black guy. And maybe Roz too.
“WE” need new bulbs”????
I guess Roz is living here, now.
Jacob must be REALLY good in the sack for her to be mooching off HIM instead of her sister.
I’d kind of gotten the impression that Roz was considering Jacob to be something of a project – she doesn’t like it when other people don’t like her, but she’s amoral and manipulative enough that her response always is to change whatever it is about the other person that makes them not like her, rather than making any but the most superficial changes to her own behavior. In this case, I suspect that she initially thought that if she could get Jacob into bed, he’d admit he was in the wrong to avoid her; when it turned out that he still insists that he’s got a problem (and, rightly, that his problem has been worsened by falling off the wagon), her response is to continue to try to change him rather than to admit that her initial behavior was out of line.
I think you’re reading too much into the line–she does say “buy YOU some new lightbulbs”, not “us”.
There Spiderman cpmics I’m sure of it. And how many times has ne done Roz. That really can’t be good for both of them. This looks like a Job for Amanzing Girl
Why is Roz sticking around? I thought she was the “one night stand, no commitment” type?
She is. She’s mooching wifi.
Everybody is missing the most important question… Why are there no lightbulbs anymore? Were they all used in some way that would make you not want to use them for light anymore. –Insert ‘screwing in a lightbulb’ joke here–
Talk about a cramped place to have sex!
Plus now there are so many possible styles of bulbs: long thin CFL, short fat CFL, spiral CFL and regular lightbulbs. Then there is always the industrial style long fat fluorescent tubes, but the terminal pins on the ends of those make them a little dangerous for this purpose.
“Only two, but it has to be a really big light bulb.”
Just the punchline; feel free to write your own setup.
looks like roz is taking a crap. on the bed.
And recording it on webcam. There is apparently big money to be had for that type of internet video.
What they need are lightbulbs that work on more than one person. Right now they’ve got ones that light Roz but not Jacob.
Probably means that Willis changed something about Jacob’s appearance and he doesn’t want to reveal it yet…
When you succumb to the dark side of the force, it deforms you.
Or, Jacob doesn’t want to show his face after what he did with Roz.
You fool Jacob! CHANGE THE WIFI PASSWORD!!!!!!!!!!
Why does Jacob keep seeming more and more like Ethan/Clayface from “The Batman” series?
Speaking of lightbulbs, the ones in my bedroom burnt out. Anyone got a few?
…and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became…
Jacob loves her, wants what is best for her, feels he is bad for her. Lost he dwells in that place, cold, dark, that waits for us who can no longer see a way, any way. No hope, no need to scream, for who could help? There is no out, for the fault is him, and if he is not the evil he is not himself.
Hilarious…
Guide dang it, I was thinking of that too. Now where in the nine hells is that from?! Google is pointing me to “Cosmic Love.” (And don’t say Harry Potter…)
Yep, Florence and the Machine, Cosmic Love.
BTW almost all the lyrics sites have them wrong:
It’s: The SUN the moon, they have been blown out…
Most have “The stars, the mood…”
Dang! Double Ooopsie:
Correction REDO:
