        I once had a dry-erase board on my door at the dorms, and I was SO disappointed in the quality of dongs on it. I found the vandals and requested better penis drawings, but alas they never delivered on quality.

        Everyone is so eager to offer up their penis, but no one seems to have one worth wanting.

            The terrifying dreams and terror about relationships are the result of being assaulted, not sexually repressed. That is, they’re not going to be fixed by sexual experimentation; they’re going to be fixed by confronting and overcoming the trauma she’s experienced.

            The “constant shame” and “overwhelming guilt” is neither constant nor overwhelming; and a sense of guilt and shame can be a positive thing if it helps you avoid making bad decisions.

            We are reading the same comic; we’re just not reading it the same way.

                I recently finished a marathon reading session where I caught up from the first panel to the present, inclusive. I assure you, I have not skipped anything.

                That said, I’m well aware that this is probably an alternative character interpretation, and that the only time Joyce’ personal beliefs have been shown to serve her in good stead has been when she’s used them to call out the hypocracy of others with similar beliefs (such as her recent altercation with her family).

                Otherwise, she mostly seems to be based on the worst stereotypes of the background she came from (i.e., homeschooled Protestant), with her only positive characteristics being portrayed as traits she has in spite of her upbringing rather than because of it.

                As an example: you recently had an arc where a number of students were trying to get her to swear, something that she finds intensely uncomfortable and with which she has moral issues. And you played it as innocent fun on the part of those messing with her, as if her choice not to swear isn’t a choice worth respecting.

                That said, I did just finish a marathon reading session of this comic; there’s a reason why. Despite the above gripe I have with your portrayal of Joyce, my overall impression of the comic is a positive one.

                  Dude, how do you do a marathon read of this comic and not once read the many times that Willis says that Joyce is based not on stereotypes, but on Willis himself?

                  My favorite part of this critique is about how the stuff which is 100% true to my life are apparently being based on stereotypes. That thing with the paying for swearing? Actually happened. That was my life. Literally me. A copy-paste.

                  And I would pay attention to the story where Joyce paid a dude to punch her date in the face if he displayed any lustful thoughts or actions — which happened long before the party — before pinning her behavior solely on the events of the party.

                  I was made fun of as a kid for behaving like Joyce, and now strangers make fun of me for “making up” Joyce because she’s apparently a huge lie. Thanks for perpetuating my life’s one true constant.

                  Note: There is a FAQ. Don’t be super smug about not having read it, because it’s making you look like an asshole.

    Personally, the concept that people will automatically draw dicks on a dry erase board just strikes me as a ::dons shades:: a total fallacy.

      I don’t get it. But if “fallacy” and “dicks” are somehow linked in a way usable for wordplay, I want to know. Hell, if any two of the three of those and “dry erase board” are linked…

    Never felt the urge to draw one, appreciate the real thing though.

    Never understood the urge to draw them everywhere either, but to each their own. They are easy to draw, universally recognized, and what the hey, why not.

    Back in the 80s there a hall mate in my dorm was this tremendously sweet, good-natured, very-innocent and very christian student John. He’s the the male Joyce from my dorm years.

    And this exact thing happened to him. In part by people who targeted his innocent straight-arrow character. Dongs. Artistically crude drawings of 69ing, etc.

    Ahaha. I lived in a hall ostensibly for art majors my freshman year, and I put up a white board naively thinking we could all draw collaboratively. I woke up each morning to find freshly-drawn dongs in the mouths of every character doodle. Gifts from the Dong Fairy!

    People also stole some original artwork off my door, which I hadn’t thought to scan or copy. :<

    Does that October-preview Amber’s T-shirt really say “HUGS BOSOM”?

    ‘Cause, I mean, it does seem like her bosom would be pretty great in a hug, but I didn’t really think Amber was the sort to advertise it like that.

    Then again, she’s smiling, and from the blush she’s Amber, not Amazi-Girl, so evidently she makes some radical adjustments between now and then.
