Holy crap, you guys! We funded the Dumbing of Age book in 3 days! You are insanely awesome. …so that leaves us with 28 more days of funding until the fundraising period is over. …so I guess let’s now try to raise enough to also reprint Shortpacked! Book 1? It’s out of print, you see. *crosses fingers*

Shipping Joyce and Roz now.
Been shipping them since before the comic even *started*
Ship them to where? Abu Dhabi?
if they are, I’m sure there’s a cute grey cat who can help them get back.
Sorry, my cute grey cat is having sinus problems.
Also, he thinks he’s a dog with a funny accent.
Cute? Ponies are cute, kittens are cute, heck even certain kinds of Digimon are cute. Nermal is just sickening…….ly cute and annoying.
SLUT COVENS OH NOES
This is what people get for trying to care, Joyce =/
Joyce, like Robin, gives me sympathy whiplash.
The card is for a massage parlour that offers happy endings.
… How does that even work for a woman?
Wait, don’t tell me. I really don’t want to know.
The clitoris is a lie! Female orgasms don’t exist! I’m telling you, it’s all made up!!!
Cosmo magazine lied to us? How is that possible?
Cosmo magazine is a conspiracy. keeping women in the dark..they don’t realize their true potential.
The biggest lie in Cosmo is that they keep claiming to have new content.
^ QFT
Does that mean quote fuckin truth?
@Cleaver
Quoted for Truth
@I.care.0
always thought it was
“Quite fucking true”
Remove the word “new” and you’d be correct.
Remove the word “correct” and you’d be
Female orgasms are a lie? NOOOO- Wait, why am I worried again?
Oh Blob sweetheart they exist keep trying.
Oh, sure, that’s what *they* want you to think. But I know you’re all robots!
We also shoot bullets from our boobs, but don’t tell anyone I let you in on that.
Machine gun jubblies? How did I miss those?
The hand can accomplish many things. It is the most versatile tool there is. Except maybe a Leatherman.
Harry Dresden once mentioned a Swiss Army Hand. Best of both worlds? I think so.
It can’t replace WD-40 or duct tape!
Those do not go with most forms of sex.
Granted, there are noted exceptions, but not the kind you want someone like Joyce to be jumping right into.
Your letting you’re avatar go to waste
Dude, I’m not saying not to bone her, I’m saying to save the kinky stuff for once she’s gotten over the awe of the basic service.
Your homophones are swapped.
Leatherman? That could be painfull, unless there is a model with special attachements that I am not aware of.
Like the Sawzall.
I don’t know why, but I am loving the second panel.
It is so perfect for avatars and it-seemed-witty-when-made-it captioning. SO PERFECT.
Awww they really do loave each other…
loave=loathe
they are breaded quite nicely for eachother.
Seems appropriate for a slice-of-life comic.
It’s at yeast a comedy of errors.
“C’mon guys, this pun thread is crumbling,” said Blob ryely.
It’s crust a little harmless fun
This thread is so baked.
Puns like these make me feel all toasty inside.
I knew you’d Rise to the ocassion. Let’s call for a toast.
Are you trying to butter me up? 😛
Yes! A toast! Everyone, up off your buns!
there’s muffin to be shy about.
Easy for you to say, cupcake.
I knead you to be more positive Blob.
I knead to express myself in a wholemeal way.
Here we go, loafing around again…
What a rye sense of humour you got.
Challa back, y’all
What a horrible pun. What matzah I been thinking?
I honestly donut know.
That pun takes the cake
I just assumed you were going for a love/loathe portmanteau.
I wish I did now, but I just could not remember for a few minutes how to spell loathe correctly.
I’ll keel ya all, and burn your houses to cinders.
I like how Joyce is holding her books defensively.
And it would be a good idea for her to talk things out. Which character from other universes has yet to appear?
…Faz?
And I hope that this guess on my part is off.
Faz as a Therapist would be hilarious.
I’m sorry, I can’t help but laugh at Faz as a therapist.
PLEASE let it be Reagan. I want a whole subplot where Joyce insists that her therapist is a dead president, only for everyone else to be convinced that now she really NEEDS a therapist.
That would awesome. Plus I bet Joyce would find Reagan reassuring!
Ninja Rick.
Malaya would make an awesomely blunt therapist.
Howard. “You need to ask yourself what Captain Kirk would do in this situation.”
Guys. Roz is a wizard. A PARTY WIZARD.
Does that mean she hangs out with Party Pat and/or Jake? Because Jake is a party animal, and Party Pat, well…
Roz goes to the Coven of Condomia. It allows the lord to touch his deciples without the need to come inside you.
Isis, Astarte, Diana, here’s a condom for your banana.
Don’t you mean without the need to pull out?
I want to strangle Joyce now.
OOOOOL autoerotique affixation!
*asphyxiation.
Is your gravatar that girl from Azumanga? With the detachable hair wooblies?
No it is not Chiyo-chan from Azumanga, it is Jasmine the Steel-type Gym-leader from Pokemon.
Ah. Must be from one of those newfangled third-gen pokemans things. I’m a dinosaur who stuck with Gen 1, so… rawr.
2nd gen ya silly. My fave
I stand corrected. Still, the only ones I really spent any time on were Red and Fire Red.
I would love to play Gen’s 4 and 5 but sadly I have no DS and DesMume lags and slows down my computer except when it’s playing the Ace Attorney series.
Jasmine is 2nd Gen, I don’t know much about the 4th & 5th Gen chatacters.
Nope, that would be Chiyo-chan.
Apologies for the double post and reply past its usefulness…
/shame
Nope, that is not Chiyo-chan.
It seemed heartless of Roz to offer her a card to go see ‘The Rapist.’
I know right? It seems counter productive.
Imagine if this therapist was Ryan…
After this incident, I’d imagine Joyce’d have Sarah on speed dial…or at least Sarah’s bat
I imagined Joe with a big fake beard like Sokka’s from Avatar.
Best.
Visual.
Ever.
Sokka with beard
Flameo, hotman!
That’s not Sokka with a beard, that’s WANG FIRE, HERO OF THE FIRE NATION!
All the ladies would find Joe even more attractive.
Cannot. Resist.
He might be a Fullonrapist (philanthropist)
At least it’s not an Analrapist.
Or worse “The Analrapist”.
Dr. Fünke is the world’s first combination analyst and therapist…
An analrapist, if you will.
Damn it, I didn’t scroll down far enough to see that TacosForever and Aizat had already beaten me to it.
Well done, sirs.
All the really CLASSY covens have cards. It’s only the uncouth ones that dance around in the woods naked.
I know right? The heathens!
Naw, that’s Wiccans. Heathens don’t have covens; we have kindreds and we usually only get naked in hot tubs. 😉
We do often have cards, though… All the CLASSY ones, anyways. 😀
But do they have classy cards? Discordians do.
Oh for the love of–
Really, Joyce? Really?
A *professional* coven. With business cards and everything!
“Join our coven and you won’t end up with a bun in the oven.”
“We accept membership fees in souls, or anything we can take to cash for gold. we also except Visa and MasterCard.
I cannot make an exception:
Your grammar gets no acceptation.
Hope you get this with good reception,
And ruminate without a conniption.
…I hope I did that right, I’m no English major. 8~/
Acceptation is not a thing. 😛
And conniption kind of is a stretch to rhyme with reception. It messes up your meter and flow.
And conniption kind of is a stretch to rhyme with reception. It messes up your meter and flow.
Acceptificationitude is at thing, though, right?
If not, it should be.
I beg to differ:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acceptation
And yeah, I did mess it up. But it *IS* a real word, and has been since the 15th century.
It’s just used as infrequently as “spoony”.
Join the coven, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
I’m sorry but…I can see Roz as a witch…she’s the hot one…why in every gaggle of witches is there always a hot one?
That’s the bait. Once they’ve got you hooked, BAM! Coven full of Angler Fish. But with more dental problems.
you could raise enough to print It’s Walky!!
+1
+2
=3
Wait wait wait… I thought Joyce was Catholic, not a Scientologist…
She is neither!
due to your gravitar, I can’t help but read that as extremely excitedly and upbeat.
I just thought of Walky’s Butt Taco shirt. “She is both and neither!”
Yeah, she’s one of those really strict Protestant branches. Any relation to Mennonites? I know a guy who was raised Mennonite. Twenty-five years later and he’s still messed up because of it.
Mennonite? Most of the Mennonites I’ve met have been pretty nice people.
You sure you aren’t thinking of ‘Methodist?’
Might be confusing them with Mormons … the live in closed communities, marry minors, toss out their young men kind that I keep seeing tv programs about.
No, it was definitely Mennonite.
I thought she was nondenominational, right? She said her family went to a nondenominational church, I think.
I’m not certain how nondenominational churches work, exactly. Does a church being “nondenominational” mean that people who attend that church are likewise nondenominational, or does it mean that members of any Christian denomination can worship at that church?
Also, am I the only one who keeps typing “nondemoninational” by accident? I bear no ill will toward nondenominational… -ism? it’s just an easy typo to make.
Nondenominational just means they’re an independent entity which is not formally attached to a ruling body or any other church. They make their own doctrinal rules and policies and whatnot without having to answer to a pope or an archdeacon or whatever.
How is that different from being your own, independent, very small denomination? Now I’m even more confused.
The difference, as I understand it, is whether your organization has an authority structure beyond the walls of your church. Usually “denomination” means you’ve got a number of churches answering to one united authority on doctrine.
I was wrong. Well, gotta hand it to Roz, she wasn’t nearly as scummy as I thought she’d be.
Yeah, looks like I may have misjudged her earlier.
Someone who thought the worst of Roz in spite of context of her actions??! Take a number.
Yay! The DeSanto family may have one less complete piece of shit! Now, as long as their dad remains Schrodinger’s Piece of Shit, I’ll be happy enough.
You don’t know if it’s gonna stink until you take a whiff.
Willis showing us how to load a Chekov’s gun.
Joyce, throughout this comic, has some hilarious faces X)
Huh, I have a feeling Roz went through something simular to what Joyce blundered through. Heres’ hoping they all come out better people.
Yes I have a coven. The Easy Bay Coven. We serve muffins and cupcakes at all meetings.
Aww, I knew Roz would pull through. Seriously, I like her so much more in this universe!
Okay. Still don’t like Roz, but she gets a few more points.
Somehow I don’t think Joyce knows what a coven is, only that its ‘full of godless heathens’.
I’m sure she knows perfectly well that a coven is a group of practicing witches.
That cast spells. And worship the devil. And have lots of nudity and sexytimes.
…all while playing D&D like it is protraited in Chick Tracts.
That the card is for an “Analrapist” doesn’t help your case, Roz!
. . . the avatar choices can’t be random . . .
Yeah, I’m kinda wondering how that all works.
I never did like people who think too much in the box when it comes down to religion, if you don’t have an open mind, then you’ll never experience anything, and be lost in the eons of life without moving an inch(or centimeter if you’re metric).
I knew I liked Roz.
I didn’t know I did. Silver lining, I guess.
Boy, Joyce’s hand sure healed fast.
I love your gravitar.
Who else read Joyce’s last line as if she was possessed?
Completely unrelated, the site’s ads are telling me to go to Australia for college again.
Dropbears, man.
We have a lot of asian students going to our world-class colleges and unis cos it’s cheaper than learning at home with the survival training that comes from having to avoid being killed by our Aussie wildlife.
Like drop bears?
Yes also toilet spiders, blue-ring octopi, white-pointers, many of the world’s most poisonous snakes, saltwater crocs, Irukandji jellyfish, baby-eating dingos, Tasmanian devils and buskers.
The ads work off information your browser stores. Clear out your browsing history, cookies and data cache, it’ll reset what the ads display. Then don’t click the links for Australian colleges and they won’t think you’re interested.
Hey, DW: if one were, hypothetically, to start Kicking, when does the payment come due? The estimated ship date, or somewhere in between the end of the Kickstarter and that estimated ship date?
Kickstarter uses Amazon Payments to charge your card at the time of funding [at the end of the project fundraising period if goal is met]
Hmm, what are the odds it’s a Planned Parenthood card?
If it were, Joyce would recognize it and be stomping it on the ground already.
Its interesting how the one person who was at the party, but knew nothing about what happened, is the only person who’s actually doing something sensible to help Joyce.
I’m telling you, people had Roz pegged completely wrong on this one. I expected nothing less from her.
I have to admit, my opinion of DA!Roz is turning out 180 degrees different from my opinion of SP!Roz.
Just… Damn, girl. Can we get you into the real world? I’ve officially hit the age where it’s Creepy when I try to give college girls advise about counseling after overhearing conversations.
Roz doesn’t seen the villain in this universe. 1st, she isn’t allow to have sex because her sis wants to stay in power which made Robin look like the villain instead and now this.
I’m going through a routine archive crawl of old strips, and I’ve gotta say I really like Roz in this universe. She seems a bit… over-eager in the way sex-positive advocates can often be, but her intentions are definitely in the right place. And it’s really nice to see a character in a good webcomic take a strong stance against slut shaming.
I love that Roz just hands her the card. I think that given her relationship with Joyce this is the best thing. Not a lecture on calling the cops not offering her own shoulder to cry on. Just letting her know that there is anonymous help out there without asking what happened.
Yeah this is really great on a re-read, I agree.
I tend to see her as rather self-righteous, a bit judgmental, and kindof lacking in forethought. MAYBE a bit assholy at times but she’s not “evil” or anything. Deep down she’s decent and seems rather brave. Her personality isn’t likeable to me personally though.
It sorta sounds like you just described Joyce
