Something I’m wondering now that Daylla has twice threatened to deal physical violence to Dustin for thinking she’s dead/a ghost: In this time/place/world, in her current form, can she even hit him? Or would her ghostly fist just pass right through him?
In spirit, if not necessarily in blood. They do seem to have some things in common.
After all, the situation has already ripped out his heart… and he got better very quickly. If it turns it that he can fart rainbows, that’ll settle it!
I suppose if you can see and talk to a loved one in real time, it’s very hard to maintain the concept that she’s dead and gone. I would imagine when she tries to belt him and her hand goes right through him, it would all come rushing back like such a horror should.
Seconded. That and btw- D-babe is Metallic, so while she might not be able to bonk, er smack the dude in her current ‘form’ maybe she can conduct enough Electricity to wake his butt up… *ZAAPP!*
Think I’ve sussed it. NEITHER are ghosts. This is the first instance of cross-dimensional communication. Cos it’s cross reality, they just LOOK like ghosts to each other.
So next week we’ll be back to “real” Dayla’s perspective of talking to an unknown “ghost” who claims to be her boyfriend?
That’s what I’m finally starting to piece together… I hope… because otherwise, if that’s not what’s happening, this story has been very confusing to me. 🙁
Considering that in our Daylla’s world, this particular room hasn’t been used for 20 years, presumably because it feels haunted, I’m thinking that if there IS a Dustin on our side, he may be about 20 years older than the one we’re seeing here. Wonder what year the Dustin on this page thinks it is?

Wouldn’t stop her, and it shouldn’t
Okay, NOW he’s yanking her chain.
Is it friendly teasing, or is he trying to get her to do something stupid or dangerous?
Yes.
He is exercising a well-recognized capability of the male of the species.
He is Not Listening.
He’s a little young to be that hard of listening.
I’m wondering if he’s related to a Monica.

Belt him a good one, Daylla.
Well, Daylla just may have well already figured this all out.
He’s surprisingly ok with interacting with his supposedly dead girlfriend.

This whole story arc is going to require a good re-read once it’s done!

Alex, it certainly will! I’m about ready to give the whole strip a re-read. (If only I had the next few weeks off….) 🙂
And here we see a Tsundere in their natural habitat…
Better Tsundere than Yandere.
Amen!
I have too questions:
1. Is a ghost (or “ghost” in this case) able to punch you?
2. Can you make out with a ghost?
Which are actually the same question (regarding how far physical interaction is possible), if you boil it down to the basics…
And if she can’t punch him, and tries, how much will that frustrate her?
You’ve heard of star-crossed lovers, here’s crossed-universe lovers…
I wouldn’t call them lovers.
And I’d like to know what happened to Dustin’s Dayla. For all we know, she may be caught between universes.
No, his Day is gone, she died

At least Daylla is showing her smarts in having figured this out.
As Ms. Piggy once phrased it; “I don’t understand any of this…”
Wait ’til Daylla meets the Dustin on HER side of the world. It could be 1) awkward 2) embarrassing and 3) physically painful when Daylla decks him.

It looks to me like Dustin has the same kinda face in ^human^ form that Dayla does (look at the eyes)🤨
