            I suppose it’s the added attention of her innocence. Additionally, i’m surprised no one has recognized him as a sex offender at the party.

              I think colleges are notorious for being crap at stoping rape and other sexual assaults.

              TL:DR if he was a known sex offender, chances are no one knows.

          But since your allegedly “standard” punishment for rape includes more rape, then it seems you are willing to excuse your “reasons” for committing rape.

      You’ve got to realize that at the end of the day, this is fiction. Joyce isn’t real, as loveable as she is. I empathize with your passion to protect victims of rape and punish the guilty, really I do. But there are proper channels for this in real life, and in fiction you’ve got to keep your sense of perspective about you. As in, this isn’t actually happening to anyone.

      I made a few gags about busting Ryan up with rocks and sending a couple mechanized infantry units to the party with artillery backup, but that was about it. You’re taking this comic strip too seriously.

        People don’t normally say these things to show off. It’s usually because they’re either angry or a bit unstable.

    The possibility that Ryan’s actually going to succeed in roofie rape, which sure seems to be his goal, is chilling enough that I’m more comfortable unsuspending my disbelief and remembering that it’s unlikely David would go so dark.

    There’s another nearly-as-depressing possibility, though, and that is that Joyce is going to realize what he’s up to… and the realization might send her scuttling all the way back into her shell, until she’s a hermit like Sarah but more holier-than-thou.

    Her best quality has been her courage in confronting a whole culture far outside her comfort zone. It’d be terrible to see that lost.

        Man, that part of that story is actually one of my least favorite things I’ve done. There’s a lot of stuff that bothers me about it, as a more mature writer.

        I’ve done crazier things, for sure, but stuff like dropping Sal’s dead parents on Big Boss is just CRAZY awful. Like, that stuff just doesn’t happen to people. It’s so out there it doesn’t bother me. Ruth’s situation was terrible too, but it’s a little too real, too plausible. Yet I approached them with about the same finesse. Stupidly.

        Eh. All you can do, going forward, is hope to avoid the same mistakes.

          Wow… and here I thought that was more of an ironic slap in the face. Of course, being the jerk I am, I also laughed- mostly because for some reason I really didn’t like Sal much. Of course, strangely I got to like her more later, but at that point she was just irritating. Almost like she was the clueless action girl (which turned out she was, but for entirely different reasons). Plus the whole parents on big boss thing seemed to give (in a really creepy way) something in common between Tony and Sal- they were both mind screwed by aliens, both had dead parents, and neither was very happy with walky.
          win, win, win I say.

          Willis I hope as a more mature writer you will replace the date rape with violence towards the asshole who intends to commit it. I think it would be very mature to have Mike and Joe both beat his ass to a bloody pulp for thinking about it. Then we could have a nice scene shift of Walky and Joyce in a threesome with… I dunno Amber I guess. That’s the mature way to handle this scenario.

There is a real risk that if this guy tries something extreme he could do Joyce a lot of damage even if he fails miserably.

    Darn it… Willis, you’ve really really REALLY made Joyce likable in this new series.

    I mean, I loved Joyce in It’s Walky!, but only after she’d grown up a lot. A lot of the beginning stuff with her I kinda really hated.

    But she’s oddly mature here. At least, she knows her faith and is fairly down to earth about it. She’s substantially less neurotic than I’d have guessed you’d have written her when I first heard about this series. Even if she IS a “Ring By Spring” girl, she’s just so darn LIKABLE.

    I’m actually praying for her to avoid this coming outcome. You’ve got me PRAYING for a fictional character. That’s kinda creepy, now that I think of it.

      Honestly, if I saw a guy that persistently, but quietly following a girl, including tending to her drink, and everything else he is doing, at a party, I would be keeping an eye on him. Joyce is a naive extrovert, open and non selective in her conversation. Christian, whatever, they are always going to show up at college parties heavy in freshman. Ryan is a quiet introvert who is selective in his conversation. They are not common to frosh parties, and his presence, especially without any friends showing up to explain his presence, make him suspicious.

      It’s pretty well documented that violent criminals, serial rapists, etc have a tendency to seek out people with certain characteristics. People who give off a certain image, who have certain body language, who dress a certain way. Do they seem timid, shy, innocent, weak? I’m not studied enough to have a comprehensive list of the most common attributes sought by rapists, but considering that Joyce is the only person remotely like herself at this party it seems more than probable she’s the only person present that fits Ryan’s interests.

    I hope this guy enjoys getting his ass kicked by every single character in the entire comic, as well as everyone that has met Joyce at the party.

    Persistent little rapist isn’t he? Assuming that’s actually his intent, and this doesn’t turn out to be to one of Willis’ shocking 180 moves.

    And I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened, because Willis has been pretty consistent in testing Joyce specifically through trauma. It has been a numbers of years since he wrote those story lines, but that was one of her defining characteristics for a while, that she was part of the Walky, Sal, Head Alien Quadrilateral of Emotional Horror. I don’t really know what I’d expect out of the comic if Joyce got to enjoy life, as I have been so thoroughly conditioned to expect her and Walky and Sal to suffer. And so far in DofA, Walky and Sal have been doing so little suffering that if Joyce or somebody doesn’t pick up the slack, I’m going to completely lose touch with reality.

    But then you have to explain away why he was trying to get her alone in a room…. soo… yeah.

      Easy. He didn’t want the guy to notice that she knows about his intentions. Btw, this would also be a great way to gain a naive girl’s trust, tell her that you know a really evil man is after her and you’re the only one who can protect her, so she’ll have to stick quite close to you…

    A second identical cup will get introduced after which Joyce pulls a switcharoo. Ryan and Joyce engage in a battle of the wits.

    Ryan: It’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you whether you would put the roofie in your own plastic cup or mine? Now a clever girl would put the roofie in her own cup, because she would know only a great fool would reach for what he is given. I am not a great fool, so I must clearly not choose the wine in front you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the plastic cup in front of me.
    Joyce: So you have come to your decision then?
    Ryan: Not remotely, because you are from a Fundamentalist Christian community, where you are surely used to being trusted. So I can clearly not choose the plastic cup in front of me.
    Joyce: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
    Ryan: Wait till I get started! Now where was I?
    Joyce: Sheltered life.
    Ryan: Right. You must have realized that I would know your origins, so I can clearly not choose the plastic cup in front of you.
    Joyce: You’re stalling.
    Ryan: You’d like to think that wouldn’t you! You’ve attended this sinful establishment which means you are fearless, so you could have placed the roofy in your own plastic cup trusting in your fortitude to save you, so I clearly cannot choose the plastic cup in front of you! But you’ve also bested my drunkards, which means you’ve studied, and in studying you must have learned that humankind is mortal, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
    Joyce: You’re trying to trick me into giving something away, it won’t work.
    Ryan: IT HAS WORKED! YOU’VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE ROOFY IS!
    Joyce: Then make your choice.
    Ryan: I will, and I choose – What in the world can that be?
    [gestures away from the table. Joyce looks away and Ryan switches the cups]
    Joyce: What? Where? I don’t see anything.
    Ryan: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter. First, let’s drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
    [they drink]
    Joyce: You guessed wrong.
    Ryan: You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Scuzzbag when Chastity is on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
    [Ryan stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and falls to the ground unconscious]
    Roz: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was drugged.
    Joyce: They were both drugged. I’ve spent the last few years developing an immunity to Rohypnol.

    [Buckets of Blood guy comes and drags Ryan off. No one says a word]

        The immunity was developed over a course of years whenever they took joyce into town for whatever reason (shopping, tests, weekly beatings…) and eventually joyce just learned to tune the world out when ever she tasted the happy flavor.

We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

That one Real Life Comic strip Tha cracked a million eggs.
Further on in the RLC comics run, where Mae says that the stuff she liked that she thought made her a man is just stuff, and that it doesn't mean anything.

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all those who work, create, parent, protest, love and live without ever fitting into someone else's category.
