I'm not sure she's looking depressed and broken so much as she's missing her left eye

And she doesn't want to go to the bathhouse. I don't think it is out of shyness to be honest (I think her reaction would have been different then), nor out of time constraint or anything. She says she cannot bring Crest to a bathhouse, but when Maytag calls her out on that (I'm sure he wouldn't mind) she has no counter-argument, not even a little, and dismisses the topic entirely.
Now, this is a guy whose got parents that raised him right! I like this Dex already, and he's only been in 2 pages.
A. A pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings, beginning by early adulthood (age eighteen or older) and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:
Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
Almost always chooses solitary activities
Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect
B. Does not occur exclusively during the course of schizophrenia, a mood disorder with psychotic features, another psychotic disorder, or a pervasive developmental disorder and is not due to the direct physiological effects of a general medical condition.
If boys club of America or some church wants to be white exclusive, or latino exclusive, or black exclusive, or what have you, why prevent them?
Yes but in certain times and cultures, silver was considered more valuable than Gold... Or rather, Silver pieces were more valuable than Gold pieces.
If Bern really has $20,000 worth of money on her, I can't imagine that she'd be concerned about money but *shrug*
If she does have that much, maybe she's worried about having enough to still find her father and get home (although Maytag could always bring more for the return journey through the portal).
EDIT: WAIT! I can't tell if Platinum is more expensive than Gold or not. If Maytag had more Platinum than Gold in her bag then that suggests it's worth less than Gold: http://flipside.keenspot.com/comic.php?i=355
the caption just dosen't seem to flow to me, it seems somewhat awkward.
Ok, I'm no poker expert, but he only has one pair (king). Wouldn't Maytag just need "three of a kind" to beat him? We haven't seen her hand, but she shouldn't need aces to beat a pair, unless the rules for this table are a bit odd.
