She also seems to have changed her attitude. Bev’s comments got through, and it looks like Nadia’s an OK person, after all – that she was taking out her upset on undeserving people was a bad look, but that she can put it away once that was pointed out to her speaks much better of her.
It’s amazing how quickly confusion can shift to curiosity when you find out that you actually have access to a Subject Matter Expert. In this case, that SME is trapped with them for the holiday.
Merry Christmas Nort and Comment Section!
Also funny that Beverly´s family seems to be the one with the smaller roast. Bev probably can eat half that thing alone after a workout day.
Really like the details in the two panels without dialogue. Siobhan and Tara having the exact same expression in response to sneaking Steven food and Nadia apparently opting to sit next to Beverly instead of her parents are neat details.
Both Beverly and Tara instead of going insular and longing for reunion, decided to forcibly spread love to the ones they were with.
Tara using Beverly’s empathy to see why her mum was so prickly, and Beverly using Tara’s tell-it-like-it-is-even-if-you-don’t-want-to-hear-it goblin energy to talk up her cousin.
Either Nort has changed his art style to photo realism, or he’s Photoshopping the food into the scenes. I don’t care but it does put the dining tables in the Uncanny Valley for me.

Interesting – Nadia appears to have changed her dress for the meal, if I’m not mistaken.
Also, I hope everyone has had a good Christmas.

She looks rather sad and depressed in that second panel. Whatever she’s working through is still getting to her.

Aw, such nice family scenes. So much more formal than mine have ever been. We’ve always had a mix of jammies, jeans, and robes.

I love that Beverly and Tara spending time with their family….but I need more shenanigans.

That awkward discomfort knowing the smut they liked was written by a family member didn’t last long.
Also, Merry Christmas

I love how Nadia got changed after Beverly’s speech.
Anyway, merry Christmas/Hannukah to everyone, and to all a good Yule.

They’re so lovely.

For “characters” you pretty much just could have put “everyone”.
