I seem to recall Sweetheart having total hots for Tip when he turned wherewolf. So does Tip apear in drag even in wolf form or doesn’t Sweetheart know what she prefers herself yet?
You know, that story arc gains a whole ‘nother level when you consider the idea that Sweetheart’s animosity towards Sparkle might have been partially motivated by having the hots for her and not being able to deal with it.
Sweetheart crushed on Werewolf Tip for the same reason that Tip is attracted to Artie, even though he’s otherwise exclusively straight. He’s so preternaturally pretty that he can attract anyone, even someone that wouldn’t normally swing his way.
This sure throws a wrench in my “Sweetheart probably has feelings for Artie” theory. I mean it doesn’t discount it completely but it seems a lot less likely now. But Tip is still totally wrong. And those are awesome potential last words.
… Not sure where Artie is getting this from, as I’ve not seen a single mote of evidence for his theory… and absolutely oodles of evidence to the contrary.
i.e. Unless this is just one of those “voice-of-the-author” moments, I reckon Artie is lying or just plain wrong.
Also, rereading this strip from the beginning, there have been plenty of instances of Sweetheart getting jealous or insecure when Unity gets attention from other people.
OK, I thought H.T was female. clearly I missed something…

well, Artie said “prefers”. That doesn’t mean she exclusively likes girls
Good point!

I didn’t get that vibe, it was probably more political differences and the whole Buddy thing.

Sweetheart totally has a crush on Unity. Her whole thing on interspecies romance, on how Artie pushes the “not-our-tribe switch”. Her missing Unity.
Given UNITY is her best friend and roommate, those things are inconclusive.
You have to remember that they used to room together back in the day, pre-comic, so he has information to draw from that we have not been privy to.

Somebody had to be the superintelligent one.
Does Artie’s shirt say “Save Berkley Peeland”???
