For future reference, when Gravatars change again, the avatar is a Joe Avatar where he has… Well, look to this days comic for what the expression looks like
Joe is kind of an interesting guy in that he doesn’t seem to mind if a gal is in a relationship. He wouldn’t be looking to “steal” Dorothy, so much as he has no issue offering himself to any woman for some fun, assuming she knows best for herself.
I’m not sure I like that trait, because it seems very disrespectful of relationships in themselves, but at the same time, Joe does not know if it’s an exclusive relationship and assumes any woman knows what is best for herself. So while he’s disrespectful of relationships, he’s respectful of the people he’s actually having sex with.
Yes, which is why I like the trait so far. At the same time, I’m uncomfortable with it because it seems like a somewhat risky way to behave. Just because the person he is having sex with is okay with it doesn’t always mean their partner is, and unfortunately, people tend to lash out at the perceived “interloper”. I worry that Joe will be on the undeserved receiving end of a beat-down. (Not that the partner committing infidelity would deserve it either)
The beatdown IS undeserved. If you have to resort to physical violence to keep your partner from being unfaithful or to scare away “interlopers,” then your relationship is in serious need of aid, don’t cha think?
Which is why you’re not beating your partner; it’s why you’re beating the asshole who walked up to your relationship, said, “Hmm, I have no respect for this other fellow’s feelings and desires, especially when dismissing them allows me to get poontang!” Okay, it may not deserve an actual beating, but like fellows who cut you off in traffic or push their way to the front of the line, he’s not exactly a hero of the nation either.
Nope, its like saying the vendor is not held responsible for whatever they are selling. Just the mere act of giving the hard sell of a product to an inappropriate audience is reprehensible.
Machiavelli / Orwell / Terry Gilliam were using sarcasm and NOT writing handbooks on how to do things for fun and profit.
Unfortunately the target audience of sarcasm do not have the capabilities to understand it for what it is.
Nobody should be beating anybody I believe is the point. Nothing about this warrants violence, only a serious talk with both your partnet and the “interloper”.
Sarah: Unfortunately, I can’t go with you. I need to go to the nearest Sport Authority. *pulls out bat from conveniently hidden back pack* I need to get a new bat.
I also just noticed it’s apparently stripes day – Joe and Dorothy both have purplish shirts with vertical stripes, Joyce has some odd stripage with her sweater vest, and Sarah has chosen to be out of the loop.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that, while Joyce may or may not be having plain meat tacos, Dorothy seems to have some sort of amorphous green blob for lunch?
Almost all mexicans?… honestly, the tacos with lettuce and tomato are the exception more than the rule (unless you count the fried ones http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacos_dorados) And tacos with cheese tend to have other name other than tacos…
You are talking about a girl who picks all the toppings off her pizza, because it is “gross” when they touch. I truly doubt that she would mix things up on her tacos.
It’s like…Joe, you tried with Joyce. And came to the conclusion it was a bad idea and you’d have to be “insane” to sleep with her. I guess the only information Joe’s missing is that Sarah’s just as violent and even more protective of Joyce than Mike. Don’t you value your face?
Hitting someone in a situation where you’ve been attacked is not necessarily as violent as punching someone totally unprovoked. Violence requires context,- hence why self-defense isn’t assault. (Or why Amber isn’t a terrible person for throwing the first punch.)
Sarah’s done bigger violence, sure. But the provocation was much larger.
You’re assuming he’s not just trying to piss her off (while simultaneously trying to hit on Sarah and Dorothy. Yes, Joe can make a single word multitask. He’s just that good).
Now now, Joyce has given indications of being bisexual. So while she wants her tacos, she also is interested in some sausage on the side. (Just not Joe’s.)
I love that Joyce is the sort of person to aggressively befriend people. It’s such a weird trait to like, but I do genuinely enjoy being around people who want you to be happy and surrounded by friends, even if you yourself are okay being solitary. There’s something very endearing about people who want you to be happy for no other reason than because they like you.
And I love that Sarah just lets Joyce do as she likes, and protects her from the sort of people who would ruin that happy personality. People like Joe.
Not that there’s anything wrong with Joe, but Joyce & Joe are like oil and a match.
Eh, Joe and Joyce just got off on the wrong foot. They’re opposites, but, like Dorothy and Walky, they could be good for each other. There’ve been signs that he was affected by the date, and we know she likes tall, dark, Jewish boys, so maybe they can meet in the middle.
That’s true, but neither of them are quite ready to meet in that middle just yet. The both of them seem very immature for their years, and need a little more time. I see them as being friends by their junior year, at the very least, after Joe has accepted not everyone wants to have sex 24/7 without being oppressed and Joyce is okay with people being perfectly fine having sex with casual partners/no serious ties.
It is probably a friendship that will bring about many people’s doom.
More like she’s waiting for the rest of the line. She knows Joe well enough to know he will never leave it at “Hello, Ladies”. Which is both good and bad for Joe. People know his reputation quickly, but on the other hand, he likely enjoys his quickly forming reputation.
Mike doesn’t wait around looking for an opportunity to be a jerk.
He lurks around waiting for an opportunity to make other people look like jerks.
And he likes it.
At my university cereal was available at all hours. You wouldn’t get hot breakfast foods past breakfast, though, except on weekends when they served brunch.
If it’s anything like my college, the cereal dispensers are out 24×7. Putting them away just means that you need to have somewhere away to put them, and pay someone to spend time and effort putting them out and taking them in. Why bother?
This was a Sunday afternoon after Joyce got back from church, too.
Is it wrong that I get excited whenever Joe is in a comic? I mean I enjoy drama as much as the next guy and I’m loving where every character’s story is going, but after a few months of weapons grade drama bombs being dropped I see Joe and just go “Whew, we’re back in a seriousness free zone.”
Joe is diligently pursuing his BS in Horndog and taking advanced courses. You have to admire his undiminished confidence in his studliness and the inherent desire of women to take a ride on his skin pole.
Joyce, FYI, mentioning how Sarah goes out of her way to ensure you have a pleasant showering experience is probably not a good conversation topic sitting next to Joe.
I mean, chances are Joe has all the ammunition he needs what with you and those tacos. The innuendo practically writes itself. But no sense in giving him an even easier target.
It appears to be a close variant of how I’ve heard a certain stand-up comic describe he and his friends’ usual strategy for hooking up in nightclubs as teenagers … just ask every single girl you see, in order… if one says no, then immediately move on. If they all turn you down, move on to the next club. Eventually you will get a date and/or shag out of it, and when your hormones are raging that hard, you’re not particularly picky as to the attractiveness of your partner so long as they’re mostly the right sex, mostly alive, and don’t actually make you vomit more than one extra time on top of what the copious amounts of cheap alcohol already has…
Joe seems to be persuing a similar (and, evolutionarily speaking, fairly well adapted) strategy, just with slightly higher standards. And not quite as high a level of mack as his dad, which suggests his mother may have been a little more demure and contributed at least a little genetic material in that area.
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.
TRANS WOMEN OF BLUESKY:
What was your egg cracking moment?
When did you know you were trans? What made you realize?
And did you know you were a woman right away, or did you pass through other identities first
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
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.
Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip.
Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons.
Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s:

hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
mel! @mel.bzky.team ⋅ 5m
Loading ...
Joe is preparing to joe.
Heeeey, how you doin’?
Best possible avatar?
2x Combo!
Get out of here Ruth, you have your own issues to deal with right now!
Geez Ethan, you’re not the queen of gays, leave her alone.
Says the girl with daddy problems.
Hello Pot, meet the kettle. You have so much in common!
That’s Joe’s kind of girl.
Joe’s kind of girl… female?
Problems for EVERYONE! Hooray!
…
Joe(y) Tribbiani?
For future reference, when Gravatars change again, the avatar is a Joe Avatar where he has… Well, look to this days comic for what the expression looks like
It’s the expression Joe *always* has.
Now kiss!
Joeing intensifies.
All the above avatars are just perfect.
Given the alt text, yours is as well.
Joe is -always- prepared to joe.
I’m surprised JOE wants to sit there, or is he only daring because Mike’s not around?
His libido has given him amnesia.
Well, libidos can be an amnesiac.
This is what happens when not enough blood gets to the upper head.
Important development!!! Joe wears a watch!
So he knows what time the ladies come by.
Here’s Joes watch.
http://www.aaanything.net/wp-content/gallery/amazing-products-invented/thumbs/thumbs_what_time_is_it_time_to_fuck_clock.jpg
Ron Burgundy will appear in future ads for this awesomeness.
It’s for use in pickup lines.
“Baby, my watch must be fast, because I could have sworn you said you were 18!”
Joyce’s eyes take up an enormous fraction of her head. how did she miss that?
Her eyes may be big, but her field of vision is blind to all things Joe.
It’s a defense mechanism.
Willis went all Sergio Leone on us. If it’s not in the camera shot, it doesn’t exist yet.
Check your peripherals Joyce!
Joe provides his own Rifftrax.
Oh jeez, now we need a Rifftrax of nothing but “Ladies?”.
I love how characters are usually shown drinking chocolate milk in the cafeteria, just like I did!
Dorothy has iced tea, Joyce has Sprite, and Sarah has an empty glass.
So inconsiderate of her to use a glass to drink nothing.
I’ll have you know that nothing tastes delicious!
I usually wrap my nothing in a plastic bag.
The age old question: Is Sarah’s glass empty, or is it full of nothing?
…there’s nothing in this cup.
Some would call it full of nothing.
Now I’m sad.
Me too. Aside from water, chocolate milk is the best drink.
I’d say that its filled with a Gaseous mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Various other elements/chemicals.
This glass is a metaphor for Joe’s chances.
So much for my kahlua/cognac theory.
Okay, my best guess is – Marceline the Vampire Queen? Don’t see bite marks though.
Yes and the bite marks are there, they’re just hard to see in 64×64 is all.
Do I get points for guessing correctly?!
Like in frequent flyer points? nah, I don’t have an ABN.
Boo. What’s ABN?
If you’re not drinking chocolate milk whenever it’s available, I’m not sure I want to know you.
I’m pretty sure Amber was drinking Dew back here. Danny’s is probably Pepsi.
These are both correct assumptions.
Holy crap, IU has Pepsi products?
It would seem extremely awkward if Joe were to hit on Dorothy. After all, he already knows she’s in a relationship.
I presume he already tried it on Sarah and got warned off with a bat.
omg can somebody please draw this
FINE!

Incredibly kinky (and intimidating).
Baseball? Awww, and here I was looking forward too Batman.
If he was on exchange from Japan then Strike-Man and his sidekick / nemesis Home-Run-Girl.
Joe is kind of an interesting guy in that he doesn’t seem to mind if a gal is in a relationship. He wouldn’t be looking to “steal” Dorothy, so much as he has no issue offering himself to any woman for some fun, assuming she knows best for herself.

So while he’s disrespectful of relationships, he’s respectful of the people he’s actually having sex with.
That is probably better than the reverse.

Just because the person he is having sex with is okay with it doesn’t always mean their partner is, and unfortunately, people tend to lash out at the perceived “interloper”. I worry that Joe will be on the undeserved receiving end of a beat-down. (Not that the partner committing infidelity would deserve it either)
Some people would say that the hypothetical beat-down is not undeserved.

I think the partner is more at fault. They’re the ones who betrayed you. The other party just let them.
Nope, its like saying the vendor is not held responsible for whatever they are selling. Just the mere act of giving the hard sell of a product to an inappropriate audience is reprehensible.
Machiavelli / Orwell / Terry Gilliam were using sarcasm and NOT writing handbooks on how to do things for fun and profit.

Nobody should be beating anybody I believe is the point. Nothing about this warrants violence, only a serious talk with both your partnet and the “interloper”.
Lovers aren’t property, so it wouldn’t be warranted, period..
I think in about 5 seconds Joe isn’t going to want to sit there more than Joyce shouldn’t sit there.
“Oh Joe, I think you need to go.”
Joe: “To the bedroom?”
Sarah: “To the funeral home.”
Joe:”Ooh, kinky.”
“Baby let me light your funeral pyre”.
Sarah: Unfortunately, I can’t go with you. I need to go to the nearest Sport Authority. *pulls out bat from conveniently hidden back pack* I need to get a new bat.
“… Although I have to say, it’s going to be easier to find a replacement for my bat than it is for yours.”
“You don’t think Joe gets his dick sucked at funerals!?
You’re about to get DEALT WITH!”
Joe loves to do it everywhere.
Do they have either an Medical Examiners or Morticians program at the college?
The good news is Joe will save a ton of money on funeral expenses since he’s so good at digging his own grave.
Hitting on Joyce and Sarah quick way too end up dead Joe.
Are we seeing the salvaging of the good ship JoexSarah?
Sarah puts the bat in battleship.
Sarah Scuttled that ship, but Joe’s still standing on it unaware of the rising water.
A captain always goes down with his ship.
Is there a butt taco in this picture?
I hope that doesn’t mean that it tastes like arse.
well she could have put this on then it would taste like arse
http://theonestophotshop.co.uk/SMART-ARSE-SAUCE-extreme-chilli-sauce
The sauce that makes your arse smart?
Yes – your ass and all other sensitive tissue it passes through.
Hello ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me.
But if he becomes 30% jaw he could look like me.
Look down. Now back up. You’re on a boat with a man your man’s jaw can look like.
If he became 100% asshole, he could be me, and have your mom for a Nickle.
I hear Mung Daal’s voice when Joe said “Ladies”
Wanna see some “Squats”?
Would I!
Ladies….
Squats…
Would you?
*Truffles Vpice*
Get back to work!
Quick, someone draw Joe and Sarah as Mung and Truffles.
And I hear the title-text in GIR’s voice. “TAAACOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS!!!”
Joyce is getting increasingly rebellious with the amount of cleavage she’s showing, there. Next she’ll be riding a motorcycle and smoking cigarettes!
She leveled up recently and put a point towards the Cleavage skill, maybe later on she will put an extra point towards the Great Cleavage skill.
She will greatly cleave people with her cleavage.
She’s got three letters to go before she’s allowed a motorcycle.
Doesn’t seem like more than the usual to me.
Dorothy, on the other hand, looks to be running a full button lower than usual.
Also, just given what we’ve seen, Joe actually looks really nice in a collar shirt and with a watch. Can’t tell if it’s a dress shirt though.
I also just noticed it’s apparently stripes day – Joe and Dorothy both have purplish shirts with vertical stripes, Joyce has some odd stripage with her sweater vest, and Sarah has chosen to be out of the loop.
Joe, you know this is going to end badly. Stop it.
Why, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
O(They Leave.)OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(More people sit.) LADIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES.
Wait, who are you?
But if your man stopped using ladies’ scented body wash and switched to Joe Spice, he could smell like he’s me!
A week old dead dog?
I assume it smells like rubbing alcohol and an air-freshener
Look down. Back up. You’re on a boat with a man your man could smell like.
I’m pretty sure it’s not Joe’s scent that attracts ladies.
It’s his sultriness. Try something like… Orbit.
Who eats just plain meat tacos? Where’s the lettuce, or the tomatoes, or the cheese?
Stuff the lettuce, I rather just have more spicy sauce with my meat.
Joe approves this message
Mike ate your mom’s plain meat taco.
Me. I’ll have beans and rice in it, but no vegetables.
I believe you meant the cilantro and chopped raw, right?
(Honestly, though, that’s why I don’t eat authentic tacos. Bleh on both ingredients…)
Taco “meat” is only about 50% meat anyway. The rest of it is certain to be healthy.
It depends on if you get your taco from a restaurant like BURP or you make it yourself.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that, while Joyce may or may not be having plain meat tacos, Dorothy seems to have some sort of amorphous green blob for lunch?
Almost all mexicans?… honestly, the tacos with lettuce and tomato are the exception more than the rule (unless you count the fried ones http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacos_dorados) And tacos with cheese tend to have other name other than tacos…
You are talking about a girl who picks all the toppings off her pizza, because it is “gross” when they touch. I truly doubt that she would mix things up on her tacos.
Joe, this is not the reaction I would have expected from you, given the history here.
I would have expected “NOT THE FACE!”
I know, right?
That’s pretty much what I was thinking.
It’s like…Joe, you tried with Joyce. And came to the conclusion it was a bad idea and you’d have to be “insane” to sleep with her. I guess the only information Joe’s missing is that Sarah’s just as violent and even more protective of Joyce than Mike. Don’t you value your face?
Just as violent as Mike? I haven’t seen Mike play tee-ball with a dude’s skull yet.
Hitting someone in a situation where you’ve been attacked is not necessarily as violent as punching someone totally unprovoked. Violence requires context,- hence why self-defense isn’t assault. (Or why Amber isn’t a terrible person for throwing the first punch.)
Sarah’s done bigger violence, sure. But the provocation was much larger.
Leaving aside the question of violence vs. justification, Sarah also punched someone totally unprovoked.
You’re assuming he’s not just trying to piss her off (while simultaneously trying to hit on Sarah and Dorothy. Yes, Joe can make a single word multitask. He’s just that good).
Maybe, just maybe, Joe’s joeing sense picked up on Joyce’s rebelliousness and is thinking he might try for another shot?
Dammit, Joe. Joyce just wants her tacos.
Well, Joe want to corn her taco…if you catch my drift.
I meant fill her taco.
Fill her taco with his brown meat.
Ground meat is brown right?
right…..
Ground meat is in fact brown.
Now now, Joyce has given indications of being bisexual. So while she wants her tacos, she also is interested in some sausage on the side. (Just not Joe’s.)
I love that Joyce is the sort of person to aggressively befriend people. It’s such a weird trait to like, but I do genuinely enjoy being around people who want you to be happy and surrounded by friends, even if you yourself are okay being solitary. There’s something very endearing about people who want you to be happy for no other reason than because they like you.
And I love that Sarah just lets Joyce do as she likes, and protects her from the sort of people who would ruin that happy personality. People like Joe.
Not that there’s anything wrong with Joe, but Joyce & Joe are like oil and a match.

It is probably a friendship that will bring about many people’s doom.
Joe’s not really hitting on anyone here, “Hello, Ladies” is just his default greeting.
You know Sarah. People can’t change, in her opinion.
More like she’s waiting for the rest of the line. She knows Joe well enough to know he will never leave it at “Hello, Ladies”. Which is both good and bad for Joe. People know his reputation quickly, but on the other hand, he likely enjoys his quickly forming reputation.
If Sarah believed people couldn’t change, she wouldn’t have to worry that <a href="http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/05-media-rumble/break/"the world was going to break Joyce.
Oops.
She knows people can change. She doesn’t believe people can change for the better.
Joe still says “Hello, Ladies” when walking into a room full of dudes.
He even greets his dad the same way.
And he always greets Danny like that.
See, the problem is that Joe’s default greetings are automatically hitting on people.
Does that make Joe this universe’s Captain Jack Harkness?
Eh, he doesn’t lust after Danny quite enough
…that we know of.
He used to. But marriageis a libido killer.
So that makes Danny Ianto Jones?
ITS A TRAP!
YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!
REVERSE CARDO OPEN!
ENEMY CONTOROTA!
I now begin 3 moves in one turn because this is the anime!
Joyce uses trap jammer…you know cause Joes going to get hit
SCREW THE RULES! I AM RICH!
Which one is a boy?
All Joe needs is a Colt Python, a Mini/Fiat Uno/ Honda CR-X and an improbable aiming skills, he could make a great Ryo Saeba replacement.

Joe should know better, what with his previous date with Joyce.
But then again, Mike isn’t around.
Mike will pop up from below the table and clock Joe in the jaw.
Mike is always watching, waiting, for any opportunity to be a jerk.
I keep seeing sex puns in these comments.
I’m not entirely sure some of them are on purpose.
Well, we are punny people.
I wish I didn’t know it was Sunday. I was gonna make a Taco Tuesday Joke!
It is still Tuesday in my neck of the woods. Go right ahead.
TACO TUESDAY!
One of our local Mexican restaurants puts ground beef tacos on sale for Taco Tuesday.
Unfortunately, their ground beef tacos are awful.
Well the beef is ground right?
Ground – earth – turf – sod – grass – weed – ……..
On the bright side, he’s in perfect taco-hurling distance!
Yeah, all the woman want to hurl their tacos in his face, if you know what I mean.
Mmmm, it’s taco day.
*Joe says pick-up line involving tacos*
Dammit, Joe!
Mike doesn’t wait around looking for an opportunity to be a jerk.
He lurks around waiting for an opportunity to make other people look like jerks.
And he likes it.
Dorothy is ignoring Taco
TuesdaySunday, opting for a blob of Green Stuff® instead.You all should try it. It’s rather tasty.
It’s Stuff Sunday
It’s uranium. She’ll get superpowers soon.
Or cancer.
Her superpower will be giving people cancer.
Oh, I’ve missed you so much, Joe.
Wait a sec. Are they having tacos for breakfast?
Why not?
I love how they’ve got it stuffed so full of meat they can’t use a regular shaped waffle, even though taco shells are normally circular.

It’s after noon. Joyce has been to church and is back. This probably qualifies as lunch for her.
Even if poor Riley is only just now managing to get her sister dragged out of bed for breakfast.
But if it’s after noon then breakfast hours are over; wouldn’t the cereal be put away? Riley is in for a big letdown.
At my university cereal was available at all hours. You wouldn’t get hot breakfast foods past breakfast, though, except on weekends when they served brunch.
If it’s anything like my college, the cereal dispensers are out 24×7. Putting them away just means that you need to have somewhere away to put them, and pay someone to spend time and effort putting them out and taking them in. Why bother?
This was a Sunday afternoon after Joyce got back from church, too.
Well, last page it was after noon, so that is probably the lunch menu?
Man-cleavage! :3
Joyce eats tacos. More signs of barely repressed lesbianism for her to freak out about once someone* points out the symbolism to her.
* and by “someone” I clearly mean “Joe.”
What does it mean if you eat burritos?
If you’re a woman, nothing. If you’re a guy…
Is it wrong that I get excited whenever Joe is in a comic? I mean I enjoy drama as much as the next guy and I’m loving where every character’s story is going, but after a few months of weapons grade drama bombs being dropped I see Joe and just go “Whew, we’re back in a seriousness free zone.”
I laugh at your naivety
Wait. Doesn’t Joe know these women? Is he not aware of how he doesn’t have a chance with at least 2 of them? If he’s genre-savvy, all 3.
Joe’s up on his reading, and knows what a tsundere is. As far as he’s concerned it’s only a matter of time. With at least 2 of them.
It appears that Walky’s obsession with tacos finally got to Joyce!
Whose obsession? http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/04-time-keeps-on-slippin/box/
Oh. I stand corrected.
Is it just me, or are Joyce’s boobs bigger? 0.o
Dorothy’s been tampering with her clothes.
Actually she’s always had a very fine set of sweatervest-puppies.
Puppies grow up so fast these days.
I remember when they were THIS big. *extends index finger and thumb to half their maximum span*
Joe! Excellent!
Did Doc Rosenthal shave or did Joe forget what happened last time he hit on Joyce?
Mike isn’t around
He’s wherever you don’t want him to be. Would Joe and Joyce’s wants cancel each other out on that point?
So would only half of mike appear
For me, Joe is like The Silence.
If I don’t see him, I totally forget he exists.
Which in my case is a very good thing because I just don’t like him.
The real reason Sarah doesn’t want Joyce there is because she doesn’t want anything between her and Joe.
Joe is diligently pursuing his BS in Horndog and taking advanced courses. You have to admire his undiminished confidence in his studliness and the inherent desire of women to take a ride on his skin pole.
Damn you, Willis, now I want tacos. >=(
I don’t understand. Where’s Riley?
Yeah I miss her already!
Why do I wish a revisiting of the “coffee” joke from GTA: Vice City?
For those who don’t remember, go find the intro to the “Trojan Voodoo” mission.
Joyce, FYI, mentioning how Sarah goes out of her way to ensure you have a pleasant showering experience is probably not a good conversation topic sitting next to Joe.
I mean, chances are Joe has all the ammunition he needs what with you and those tacos. The innuendo practically writes itself. But no sense in giving him an even easier target.
Actually, you know what? The real disaster would be to repeat this conversation:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/noises/
This comic strip translates to the narrative telling us, after all that drama and madness: “…and then there’s this dumb fuck”
Also, Sarah has the best expressions in this strip. She’s rivaling some of Joyce’s masterworks.
Oh Joe, you silly.
I laugh at guys like Joe. They are so clueless about how pathetic they look when they try to mack on every chick they see.
I always had the impression that they didn’t particularly care what other people thought, for better or worse.
And, I mean, obviously they don’t think it’s pathetic.
But what do I know? I’m pretty far removed from that archetype.
It appears to be a close variant of how I’ve heard a certain stand-up comic describe he and his friends’ usual strategy for hooking up in nightclubs as teenagers … just ask every single girl you see, in order… if one says no, then immediately move on. If they all turn you down, move on to the next club. Eventually you will get a date and/or shag out of it, and when your hormones are raging that hard, you’re not particularly picky as to the attractiveness of your partner so long as they’re mostly the right sex, mostly alive, and don’t actually make you vomit more than one extra time on top of what the copious amounts of cheap alcohol already has…
Joe seems to be persuing a similar (and, evolutionarily speaking, fairly well adapted) strategy, just with slightly higher standards. And not quite as high a level of mack as his dad, which suggests his mother may have been a little more demure and contributed at least a little genetic material in that area.
She said Sarah (hmpf….snicker) …looked….(tee hee, oh god) …looked like she could (hmpf…) …use some company. Sarah.
Oh god, now that’s funny.
Tacos for breakfast? Brave…
I had the same thought, but Billie&Ruthless mentionned it was past noon earlier.
