So wait, Maybell wants to go out with Luna, but Luna thinks she's setting Vice up with Maybell, is that right?

It's hard to imagine how that misunderstand could take place given the dialogue. So instead of a silly sitcom premise we have...characters suddenly switching motivations. I thought this was about cheese.

I don't think it's tough to understand, but I'm the one writing it, so of course it seems that way to me.
Maybell takes a big chance and asks Luna out point blank. She accepts, a little shocked by Maybell's direct approach and emboldened by Vice's taunting. They have a date next week (2 weeks in strip time - next week is a one-off).
Right now we're going 2 story - 1 standalone - 2 story - 1 standalone, but we can change that up anytime.

That is what I got out of it on a first read. It is not that hard to understand.

I'd rather you didn't. I understand this is delicate subject matter and you want to assure everyone you're going to handle it properly (and considering the creative team I have no doubt you will) but have a little more faith in yourself and your readers. We'll be able to accept what you throw down, no need to spell it out for us.

Okay - advice taken and heeded. Thanks, sincerely.

"Cool Ranch Milkshake..." That's...quite an...interesting new flavor of milkshake... Unfortunately, my stomach might not be up for it. Then again, this is "Taco Problem..."

Comic strips are very serious business.

But wasn't Vice the one who wanted to ask her out?

Vice wanted to ask Maybell out, but he did not.
Maybell asked Luna out, and she accepted.
