This comic is about a robot powered by bees, but it's also about the kind of people who think filling a robot with bees is a good idea, and why they're wrong.

I ship it with no issues. lol.
They’d have issues, but with how different they are if they found the middle ground on things, they’d almost be a normal person.
She’s not. I get that look all the time when I’ve found out something embarrassing even though I haven’t seen what’s happened or were there and it’s just really really bad that you can’t help but look like that.
you may have been talking about dorothy, but melvin’s response was so cash….that’s a term the youngsters use as a synonym for cool nowadays, right? cash?
Don’t forget, they claimed that if the fighting doesn’t stop, they’ll “fight fire with fire.” It seems that they told Joe that he’s “caught in a crossfire
and you’ve got to choose which way you`re gonna go.” If he decides that he wants to “play the game tonight” then he’s going to cross the “point of know return.”
Antagonizing the antagonizer. He’s shown he can be pretty polite to those who treat him with at least the level of respect a housepet would get. Doesn’t seem to get worked up about full blown equal human being respect but hey, the guy’s entitled to his limits.
Quite frankly I’m about as nonsexual a person as you’ll ever find, but if someone started loudly confronting me about such matters you better believe my response would be on the same general line of intentionally pushing their buttons sex wise while delivering ridiculously harsh insults.
gah I did it! And I hit re-load so many times I started seeing things on my web page. Thanks for telling me when it uploaded, though now I am crazy obsessed.
Heh, virgin frequency. If I listen closely, I can still hear it in the back of my head, telling me, “You know, you really shouldn’t have slept with those guys.”
Haha! That’s it Joe, push those buttons! This is one time where I enjoy Joe’s lecherous attitude. The fact Joyce is standing there screaming at him for something that is NONE of her business is frankly more infuriating than Joe poking fun at a girl who assaulted him along with a third party.
I think he’s pretty sincere in his claim that he would have to be overcome by some form of insanity to stick his dick anywhere near her at this point. Joe appreciates a good lay, but she is just not worth the trouble here. Not when he’s already got a headline going for blocks.
Or option C, he just now realized she was in the room. I’m not sure he’s at the point yet where he can intentionally stand within ten feet of her and not go glassy-eyed or lose his ability to speak in coherent sentences.
But yeah, learning that your crush has had sex can be a bit of a shocker for someone of Walky’s emotional age.
I can’t wait to see Joyce’s reaction when she learns she’s a minority (virgin). And I’m starting to like Joe. At first I thought he was a jerk; now I see he’s more of a carefree moron.
Not sure whether Walky is reacting to Dorothy’s implied admission that she’s not a virgin (probably) or her general tone implying that this Joe story is a personal problem for her (dark horse). Either way, he’s about to learn his goddess has a life outside his mental construction.
Joyce and Joe work magnificently well when you’re not sure where things are going. (I mean, the J/J stuff in It’s Walky was often fun and interesting, but the odds of Joyce ending up with Walky always seemed too high for the possibility to really tantalize.)
Danny still has his. It’s a stubborn little bugger. Sticks to him like glue no matter how much sex he has. “Feels just like I’m fucking for the first time” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibsxpihjKmE
The image is loaded with a width of 980, but has an actual width of 1000. This is caused by the width rule on “#page-wide” and the max-width rule on “img”. This makes the comic blurry.
Joyce has spent her entire life waiting for her parents to pick out a suitable husband for her. Then, and only then, will she and a strong-backed, Christian man (to whom she was introduced five minutes before the wedding) walk hand-in-hand to the Mating Shed, where, under the watchful eyes of Parson Budderchurn and Prudence, the Witness to the Consummation, they will perform the Act once. Missionary, of course. The Parson and the Witness will recite Scripture loudly, yet tonelessly, in order to prevent any Unclean Noises from escaping the Mating Shed. When the deed is done, Joyce and her new husband will clean themselves with cold water and Blessed Lava Soap before dressing and adjourning to the church for five hours of intense prayer.
Thus will begin their life together.
Like Hell. We know how Joyce’s parents are characterized, and I don’t believe they’ll change a whit. The instant Joyce gets the marriage thing going on, they’re probably gonna do something insane like give both their daughter and her husband some kind of crazy pills that will have them banging like bunny rabbits for at least a week.
Well, we know how Walkyverse-Joyce’s parents are characterized, but I don’t think we’ve seen them in DoA continuity yet. Here, they could be from whatever scary hollow Kenneth the Page is from (I stole “Mating Shed” from 30 Rock, but the rest I came up with myself).
Meh, he hasn’t significantly changed anyone’s base personality so far, except maybe Ruth, and we didn’t get to see a whole helluvalot of Ruth in Roomies.
I especially like how in panel five he’s imagining Joe-ing Joyce, and then in panel six, he’s really thought it through, and how it shows in his expression.
Joyce is quickly becoming an easily hated character. I can disagree with you, sure, just don’t be such a loud bongo about it,especially when you’ve been sheltered and know fuck-all about the world. A dozen strips ago she couldn’t even clean a shower drain by herself.
Now, I guess Joe’s cool enough not to overreact if she was to actually hit him, though part of me wishes he wasn’t… Even if Joyce might have good intentions of any sort, it’s impossible she doesn’t realize at some point what a pain in the neckshe can be. And if she continues to annoy everyone, especially people who are clearly way stronger than her, she has to face the consequences.
Or should have to, at least. How else is she going to learn?
You know…on the subject of hearing the voices of the characters…
I’ve always wondered…
What would Joyce sound like? I know Dexter had been given an actor to sound like (though I’m not sure if that’s a joke or not, probably IS…) but I don’t quite remember any other character given an actor or person to sound like… s: hmm.
Loading ...
Oh, what could have been…
(Actually, it couldn’t have been Joyce, could it? ’cause, why report on just plain ol’ PMHP between unknowns?)
She’d probably throw up after the first sip.
Except for the whole bit where Joyce is really good at holding her alcohol.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.
Walky = Virgin
You’re not surprised are you? After all, with the exception of Dorothy, he’s still kinda stuck in the whole “Girls are yucky” mentality.
That doesn’t mean “boys are yuck” does it?
I give you +5 internet points for that awesome comment
And a +5 from the slashfans.
And another +5 points for Gryffindor.
TWO HUNDRED POINTS FOR HOUSE SLYTHERIN!
…yay, Snape is the best….
…Snape wins the Quidditch… yay
Not as such, but most people avoid blurting out that fact in public.
“Drunk and Insane”?
Sounds like the recipe for true love to me!
And this being an “alternate universe” and all,
it could TOTALLY happen!
Less of a true love recipe and more of next websex ratings winner.
More like a sob story waiting to happen.
I ship it with no issues. lol.
They’d have issues, but with how different they are if they found the middle ground on things, they’d almost be a normal person.
Dead Man walking on the Green Mile!
Dead man? Noooo. Crushed nuts? Very possibly.
That is the same thing.
No, but I recall wishing it was.
I’m sorry you had to feel that. The crushed nuts I mean.
If being a eunuch = dmight as well be dead from Joe POV, then you might be right.
Shattered Dreams more like it.
For those of you that does know what I meant, Shattered Dreams is when someone kicks another person in the balls.
NO, I cannot say I ever heard Shattered Dreams as a euphemism for crushed nuts before.
It’s a WWE term.
Eh, I prefer Cody. He’s got a better gimmick
Is that some Street Fighter in my DOA?
I do so enjoy Walky’s looks of realization.
They way Joyce was blushing in the 3rd panel, you be thinking that maybe she is lying.
she’s embarrassed about imaging, even for a brief second, the even thought of two people in mid, non-marital coitus.
I think she was invisioning a bisexual orgy.
With Sal on her bike.
And with Mike, Amber, Dina, Walky, Joe, Danny, Mary, Dorothy, Roz, Daisy, Billie, Ruth, Sarah, Marcie, pretty much the entire cast.
GAHHHH!!!! Sexual image overload!!
I forgot to mention that it is all at the same time.
All on bikes!
Sorry, but due to economic terrorist holding the government hostage we could only afford one bike. -The Management
Instead we will place them all on bicycles.
Due to budget constraints the bicycles are limited to only one wheel, no fenders or seats … baskets are right out.
Basket cases on the other hand, are right in.
With herself and Sal on Sal’s bike, you mean?
No I meant with herself and pretty much the entire cast not just with Sal.
Minus Ethan.
Why minus Ethan, tho? It’s Joyce’s fantasy you’re interjecting here, and she doesn’t know he’s gay.
More likely just
More likely just
Wow, apparently I just cannot into code at 3am. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CargoShip

Your gravatar makes your clearly overzealous libido ooze with hilarity.
Wait…
THAT’S NOT HILARITY! THAT’S NOT HILARITY AT ALL! (washes hands)
You know, “coitus” may in fact be my favorite word for sex ever.
It reminds me of “clit”, something that comes in handy in “coitus”
You have to be pretty handy already to fully utilize it though.
What you did there.
.
.
.
.
.
I see it.
Coitus sounds a lot like the name Curtis.
there’s a parents are mean joke in there somewhere
I heard that, Curtis.
PHANTASMAGORIA A PUZZEL OF IDENTICAL HALLWAYS!
You mean “PREMARITAL HANKY PANKY”, right?
I’ve heard it both ways.
I like the implication in this comment that she doesn’t mind imagining two people in mid, post-marital coitus.
She’s not. I get that look all the time when I’ve found out something embarrassing even though I haven’t seen what’s happened or were there and it’s just really really bad that you can’t help but look like that.
its a reply to both of you, but what we need here is a mind camera, to see the truth. And photo it.
So it has come to this. “Pics or it didn’t happen” is being applied to even thoughts, now.
Maybe she’s shocked Joe didn’t crumble under her righteous fury and beg for salvation.
Last panel Joyce mad face = win
That expression is one wrong word away from a complete and utter freak out.
What did Kansas say?
Kansas reportedly stated that, “All we are is dust in the wind.” Their spokesperson further requested that their “wayward son” be sure to “carry on.”
I was talking about Dorothy.
you may have been talking about dorothy, but melvin’s response was so cash….that’s a term the youngsters use as a synonym for cool nowadays, right? cash?
I thought you were talking about Clark Kent.
Joe has a shirt that may say “Clark” and looks sorta like Superman.
This means…um…Joe is Amazi-girl?
Clark Kent is From Krypton no Kansas, Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of OZ is.
But he was raised as a Kent in Smallville, Kansas….
Completely off topic, I know — where’s that gravatar from?
I was thinking the samething.
Assuming you mean N0083P00F, it looks like Lazy Tyke from “Go Get a Roomie”. (note: NSFW)
This information has been provided by your friendly neighborhood webcomics guru.
Bahahahahaa that was amazing!
You are a shining golden god, sir.
That. Was. Brilliant.
Don’t forget, they claimed that if the fighting doesn’t stop, they’ll “fight fire with fire.” It seems that they told Joe that he’s “caught in a crossfire
and you’ve got to choose which way you`re gonna go.” If he decides that he wants to “play the game tonight” then he’s going to cross the “point of know return.”
SHUT UP JOE! AAAGHH! Joe gets on my nerves more than any character besides Roz
Dude… fiction.
Nothin wrong with some nice, healthy fiction-rage.
Yeah, but in this case he’s not the bad guy. Joyce is the one who is loudly screaming judgmentally at him. He’s didn’t start things.
His response *is* especially skeevy, though.
Antagonizing the antagonizer. He’s shown he can be pretty polite to those who treat him with at least the level of respect a housepet would get. Doesn’t seem to get worked up about full blown equal human being respect but hey, the guy’s entitled to his limits.
Quite frankly I’m about as nonsexual a person as you’ll ever find, but if someone started loudly confronting me about such matters you better believe my response would be on the same general line of intentionally pushing their buttons sex wise while delivering ridiculously harsh insults.
Gotta give him points for that final zinger, though.
^ This. For some reason, Joe is striking me as coming across as being at his most assholishness in today’s.
gah I did it! And I hit re-load so many times I started seeing things on my web page. Thanks for telling me when it uploaded, though now I am crazy obsessed.
Heh, virgin frequency. If I listen closely, I can still hear it in the back of my head, telling me, “You know, you really shouldn’t have slept with those guys.”
See? I just hope you get enough sleep afterwards, I’m lucky the new comic appears in the early afternoon over here.
oh, no no no. I’m the 23 year old mom of a newborn. Mid twenties plus small child equals no sleep. And the energy to cope. And read webcomics.
I’m just lucky I get to read the new comics. Next week is Eid, it’s going to be one busy week.
I do not envy you. But having been there, snag whatever time you can, it IS possible. I believe in you.
Gah, can’t decide which look is funniest- walky’s realization, joyce’s blush, or her angry face.
Joyce looks like her head’s about to explode.
Haha! That’s it Joe, push those buttons! This is one time where I enjoy Joe’s lecherous attitude. The fact Joyce is standing there screaming at him for something that is NONE of her business is frankly more infuriating than Joe poking fun at a girl who assaulted him along with a third party.
I see that some part of Joe still plans on “fixing” Joyce.
Yes, the insane part AKA his penis.
It’s Joe we’re talking about here. He do anything with a vagina that moves.
So beastiality YES, necrophilia NO?
That depends on his mood that day.
So he’s kind of like Jack Harkness, but straight?
I think he’s pretty sincere in his claim that he would have to be overcome by some form of insanity to stick his dick anywhere near her at this point. Joe appreciates a good lay, but she is just not worth the trouble here. Not when he’s already got a headline going for blocks.
OH HELL YEAH!
“Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never play cards with a man named Doc. Never sleep with a woman with more troubles than you.”
Joyce (as regards Joe) is spelled with a capital Trouble!
We he did put her on his “hit list” when they first met.
Now I am thinking she is on his “will hit me list”
Wonder if his health insurance includes reconstructive surgery?
Is it me, or does Walky look a little monkey-ish in the first couple of panels?
Does Walky look like that because he realized Dotty isn’t a virgin, or because of the way she non-chalantly acknowledged that he is?
I figured it was the former.
I guess he thought most people were in his situation.
Or option C, he just now realized she was in the room. I’m not sure he’s at the point yet where he can intentionally stand within ten feet of her and not go glassy-eyed or lose his ability to speak in coherent sentences.
But yeah, learning that your crush has had sex can be a bit of a shocker for someone of Walky’s emotional age.
I love you guys! And this comic! So much love
I’m sure Mike loves you too.
if he doesn’t, I have a cousin with the same name. It’s almost like the real thing.
If it’s your cousin, it’s definitely NOT the same kind of love.
I hope.
Whoa. Somebody was bound to say it someday, I just can’t believe
it was Joe.
I can’t wait to see Joyce’s reaction when she learns she’s a minority (virgin). And I’m starting to like Joe. At first I thought he was a jerk; now I see he’s more of a carefree moron.
No he is a Jerk and a carefree moron with possible self-destructive tendencies.
Not sure whether Walky is reacting to Dorothy’s implied admission that she’s not a virgin (probably) or her general tone implying that this Joe story is a personal problem for her (dark horse). Either way, he’s about to learn his goddess has a life outside his mental construction.
Joyce and Joe work magnificently well when you’re not sure where things are going. (I mean, the J/J stuff in It’s Walky was often fun and interesting, but the odds of Joyce ending up with Walky always seemed too high for the possibility to really tantalize.)
So did Danny lose his virginity before Joe did?
The world may never know.
Anyway my money is on Danny.
Better Question: So did Danny lose his virginity TO Joe?
Even better question, did Dorothy and Danny lose their virginity to Joe AT THE SAME TIME?
You win hands down.
Mike was here.
Joe wasn’t born with a virginity. Somehow it just never formed during the embryonic stages.
Danny still has his. It’s a stubborn little bugger. Sticks to him like glue no matter how much sex he has. “Feels just like I’m fucking for the first time”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibsxpihjKmE
Well he did go through vagina as he was being bor… ICK!
Oh, man, Joyce looks like a pissed-off librarian in that last panel. Run, Joe, run!
Joe’s just digging himself a deeper grave.
I love it.
Deep as the grand canyon if you catch my drift
deep as the mariana trench
Like a hot dog down a hallway.
Wait, what?
I’m wondering why Walky would even open that door in the first place.
doors are meant to be opened!
unless there’s a box.
That’s why they invented sticks. To poke boxes.
The image is loaded with a width of 980, but has an actual width of 1000. This is caused by the width rule on “#page-wide” and the max-width rule on “img”. This makes the comic blurry.
Refresh. The only reason the “actual width” is there is because I uploaded a larger comic, otherwise the comic would have remained smaller.
Joe uses tuant it’s super effective!
Joe used Taunt.
Joyce is enraged.
Wondering exactly what was going through Walky’s mind when she said that. That look is very open-ended
Also I’ve seen that look of pissed before (not often mind you but it’s happened). RED ALERT, ALL HANDS BRACE FOR IMPACT!!
…Joe’s voice in my head is now cemented as Townsend Coleman’s Sentinel Prime.
Panel two is just short of perfect. If it only had a spit take.
wait…what? Joe has standards?
Joe can afford to have standards; he’s not so short on willing women that he needs to get beat up by Mike (or the crazy girl) to try and get laid.
Even Joe knows that it is best not to stick your dick into crazy.
Joyce has spent her entire life waiting for her parents to pick out a suitable husband for her. Then, and only then, will she and a strong-backed, Christian man (to whom she was introduced five minutes before the wedding) walk hand-in-hand to the Mating Shed, where, under the watchful eyes of Parson Budderchurn and Prudence, the Witness to the Consummation, they will perform the Act once. Missionary, of course. The Parson and the Witness will recite Scripture loudly, yet tonelessly, in order to prevent any Unclean Noises from escaping the Mating Shed. When the deed is done, Joyce and her new husband will clean themselves with cold water and Blessed Lava Soap before dressing and adjourning to the church for five hours of intense prayer.
Thus will begin their life together.

The instant Joyce gets the marriage thing going on, they’re probably gonna do something insane like give both their daughter and her husband some kind of crazy pills that will have them banging like bunny rabbits for at least a week.
Grandchildren must be assured!
I never quite understood how Joyce came out so sheltered with parents who were as… adamant as hers.
I blame her pastor.
Well, we know how Walkyverse-Joyce’s parents are characterized, but I don’t think we’ve seen them in DoA continuity yet. Here, they could be from whatever scary hollow Kenneth the Page is from (I stole “Mating Shed” from 30 Rock, but the rest I came up with myself).
Meh, he hasn’t significantly changed anyone’s base personality so far, except maybe Ruth, and we didn’t get to see a whole helluvalot of Ruth in Roomies.
Lava soap made me chuckle.
But no to quoting scripture.
I Demand THIS man do the speaking while the deed is being done.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgwQ1eS9S7k
Can someone who actually knows how to do this crap please shoop a trollface onto Joe during panel 5?
Joyce’s expression in that last panel is PRICELESS.
Oh, Joe. You know you would hit that with like 7 crowbars if you could.
Stay classy, Joe.
I especially like how in panel five he’s imagining Joe-ing Joyce, and then in panel six, he’s really thought it through, and how it shows in his expression.
Foreshadow much Willis?
hahaha
I liked Joe he was a fun character too bad i’ll never see him again after this
Why you say that? you think Joyce is gonna kill him?
Damn Joe, that sound a little date rapey.
Only one person in the comments mentioned how Joe implying he needs Joyce to be drunk to sex her up is rape.
Joe will be in the papers again. Next time in ‘cuffs.
Probably with a thumbs up and coy grin at at the camera though.
Joyce is quickly becoming an easily hated character. I can disagree with you, sure, just don’t be such a loud bongo about it,especially when you’ve been sheltered and know fuck-all about the world. A dozen strips ago she couldn’t even clean a shower drain by herself.
Gotta love that good old fashioned Christian humility.
Your Gravatar makes this priceless.
Quickly everyone, tune your radios to virgin frequency!
Better yet, a virgin whistle.
Is that a whistle only virgins can hear? A dog whistle for virgins?
Now, I guess Joe’s cool enough not to overreact if she was to actually hit him, though part of me wishes he wasn’t… Even if Joyce might have good intentions of any sort, it’s impossible she doesn’t realize at some point what a pain in the neckshe can be. And if she continues to annoy everyone, especially people who are clearly way stronger than her, she has to face the consequences.
Or should have to, at least. How else is she going to learn?
I just realized, Joyce said she saw the article, not that she read it.
Wait, is Walky implying that he isn’t a virgin? Seems like an odd comment to make otherwise.
I remember a news report on how they created a ringtone that only teenagers can hear, I wonder if there is a special one for virgins too.
You know…on the subject of hearing the voices of the characters…
I’ve always wondered…
What would Joyce sound like? I know Dexter had been given an actor to sound like (though I’m not sure if that’s a joke or not, probably IS…) but I don’t quite remember any other character given an actor or person to sound like… s: hmm.
Way I see it anyone who could voice Amy Rose could voice Joyce Brown.
After giving it some thought, plus watching some Scrubs, I’ve decided on Sonal Shah.
And, yeah, I’m serious about the Head Alien sounding like Jon Lovitz. He’s who voices the character in Dumbiverse cartoon.
Me thinks murder be on Joyce’s mind in that last panel lol
Joe uses jerkery. it’s super efective.
Joyce uses rage. It will be effective in the next strip.
*snerk*
