This three-strip arc, in which Helen runs away to Boston, serves as a transition to her still-unfinished (as of October 2011) storyline in ''[[Something
=== Tropes ===
Line 8:
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: [[Defied Trope|Defied]] (see page quote), with a big helping of bitterness and hostility.
* [[Never My Fault]]: Helen, at this stage, still refuses to admit that her own poor decisions are partly to blame for her current situation.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: As the bus leaves town, Helen thinks, "Fuck you, Penny. Fuck you, ''Belleville.'' Goodbye." These are the first uncensored swearwords to appear in the comic, although the first uncensored ''taboo'' word, a racial slur, had appeared previously in [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/Pre History
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Literally and figuratively, and this after not having appeared in a significant way since [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/The Popsicle War: D
* [[The Runaway]]
* [[The Unfavorite]]: The one part of Helen's monologue that's objectively accurate is her father's having withheld love from her and favoured her older sister, as seen in [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/The First Man I Ever Loved
