Special Move

Is it more, or less, appropriate on the bar top?

Bethany is a character that I have a lot of fun writing, but I always worry about. I think I lean in on the "this joke makes you uncomfortable, and that's part of what makes you laugh" with her, and... I do worry that I push too hard. That said, I also spent way too long working on this animation, so I hope it makes you laugh!
