Yeah, it's like he's trying to convince himself that he's having fun -- and not completely succeeding.

I can't remember Momo and Winslow ever interacting very much, so they may not be very close friends. To me that conversation reads as neither of them being able to think of something else to say, so Momo makes an awkward excuse to leave.

BenRG:
In today's strip, we learn that changing bodies isn't as automatic a conversation hook as you think, especially if your life is otherwise uninteresting. It's probably the single most awkward strip I've seen for a long while, with Momo clearly unable to think of anything to say and Winslow clearly expecting something to happen that doesn't. It many ways, it's almost painful to watch.

Maybe she likes the job?

Zebediah:
I read this as the geeky kid finally working up the nerve to talk to that cute girl at school he's had a crush on forever, and discovering the crush isn't quite reciprocated.

This just might be colored a bit by my own romantic history.

ZoeB:
How old is Winslow?

Now think of this.

He has never had fun before. He's not even sure what it means.

I'm torn between feeling ineffably sad because of that, and wanting him to grow and experience fun joy, happiness ,fulfilment in ways not possible for him before.

Maybe I should mention - a lot of Trans people have similar issues before and after transition. Jeff may possibly know that.¡

JoeCovenant:

Note to Winslow: be careful of what you wish for...
