So she’s supporting condom use… but didn’t make Joe wear one when he Joe’d her…
How do you know that? We never saw them having sex.
Yeah, I’m confused about that too.
“I can trust her because she actively preaches condom use! And, uh, doesn’t follow through on that preaching….”
You can both be on the pill and still use condoms to prevent STDs.
Uh… I don’t think they make a pill for guys. At least, not that kind of pill.
actually they DO!! also have a shot that last like 5 years
My understanding is that those sorts of things aren’t really available widely, as they’re still being tested.
Ah, but Joe didn’t bring up condom use, he only brought up pill use, and the pill does not prevent STDs.
maybe she’s been scolded for using to many, and not handing them out… or maybe she lied and is trying to trap a man
Okay, seriously, why are all of you assuming that she didn’t make him wear a condom? Or, conversely, that Joe wouldn’t automatically wear one?
When Danny questioned him on possibly becoming a father, all he said was that she was on the pill. Had he used a condom, he would have used that in his defence as well as opposed to just mentioning the pill.
Fair enough. I just can’t connect the idea of Joe being this ultra-careful in planning out dates (to the point of deconstructing the psychology of everybody involved for maximum pleasure), and not bothering to wear a condom.
“maximum pleasure”
I would assume these two weren’t stupid enough to not use a condom, but like you said- what Joe has in mind is usually maximum pleasure, and that doesn’t include condoms.
I just assume Joe would consider a baby or an STI unpleasurable.
Considering condoms still result in pregnancy a whole heck of a lot more often then the pill, I bet that’s why just the pill was mentioned.
If both are used correctly, the difference in the rate of success is only 1%. I dunno if that’s a “heck of a lot more.”
One percent, or one percentage point?
Yes but David condoms in this case would be to stop the transmission of std’s as well as to boost your chance of avoiding a pregnancy. Although implanon + condoms is the best. Plus, you can’t always rely on what other people say…
Of course its a heck lot more! It’s 1% risk is 6 times safer than 6% risk. It could save 5 disasters in each 100 fun-times.
“Hey, I’m not stupid. She said she was on the pill, man.” is the reason people, at least me, assumed that. When I read it, it reads as the only protection they used was the pill. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have said something like “We both used protection” or “she’s on the pill, and I used a condom.” But. that’s just my take on it.
I think the point being made here was that she is an advocate of preventing pregnancy, and the handing out condoms is a way of doing this. If she is on the pill, she knows she is meeting her requirement, with or without the use of the condom. Yes, condoms will protect from STDs, but that’s not what she is advocating in the last panel.
i’m suddenly reminded of an snl skit…
*half hearted* Damn you Willis?
I’m officially disturbed
amen my brother
Of course so is Danny. It’s just….wow…. oy vey.
Oh, hey, Agatha. Nice seeing you again.
i absolutely love her hat..although i don’t want one for myself
Roz is secretly related to Beth Oblong!
She needs a better line. “If you won’t protect your date, you better get back home and masturbate”
“Should you have sex but wish to avoid procreation/ Either choose protection, or else choose castration”
Brilliant! Both of you! XD
That does kinda validate Danny’s concern about the “dickless” possibility, though.
You guys are killing me here XD +10
Dont cause a baby Fuck up, wrap your dick up!”
Don’t procreate, masturbate…errr wait that’s not right.
That HAT…. I’m pretty sure only Roz would wear that hat. In public.
Hell, she probably got the job because she already owned the hat.
Seeing Roz like that makes me happy for reasons I can’t fully explain.
that is good, I get the feeling that if you could fully explain then thier would be waaay to much squick involved
I guess in this universe Roz is a totally awesome badass
Okay that is adorable. I love Roz.
Yeah, I’m liking this universe’s Roz much better.
Same here. I’m honestly liking this take on Roz, whereas the one in Shortpacked made me want to claw my own skin off. Funny, that.
See? In this world, Roz is FOR condom use and all that other stuff.
…Kinda hope she’s not for bashing the sex addicts…
I’m sure she’s for contraception in the other universe, too.
Hm. You got me there. This one just seems more open.
…and braver. I mean…dildo on a head. Who’d wear that in public?
Someone who is also willing to masturbate in front of people for money?
How much does the job pay? I’ll do most jobs if the pay’s good (I know, I’m a whore).
(Not that kind of whore.)
She has a Jimmy Hat!
better keep it out of the freezer
We’ve found the next hat Willis is going to make for us!
I propose a new hat every month!
I would wear it to class every day.
For some reason the icon of RM along with that declaration is fantastic.
Hmm. Think Red Mage would refuse to wear a condom normally, declaring that there’s nothing in the rules that states wearing it as a hat isn’t just as effective?
So long as it’s on a “member” of your body, you still receive the benefits!
Also, HILARIOUS.
Huh. Roz with redeeming qualities. Who’da thunk it?
Does shes…Have a …on her head…?
Yes, yes she does.
Hmmm…I’m suddenly liking alt-Roz. and imagining the culture shock a certian someone will get wehn she sees her in that getup.
no culture shock, most likely she will have no idea what it is, and (if willis is a bastard) think its cute and wear one. or she will drop dead on the spot.
My first thought at seeing Roz: “Awww, shes so cute, caring about others and encouraging safe sex!”
I was actually neutral towards her, now I like her! For reasons I can’t explain, I also like Joe O_o
I’ve always liked Joe. He’s a “Jerk” with a Heart of Gold.
D//x Ugh, he IS.
I just can’t put my finger on it, but if he was nice enough to win RACHEL over ON THE INTERNET, imagine if he acted the way he did online IN REAL LIFE.
Tall, dark, handsome, AND sweet, kind, and considerate? He would literally be God’s gift to women O_o
Welp, I have a new favorite character.
Danny?
Aaannnndddd.. cue Joyce walking by…. with Mike… and Roz getting a black eye because Mike gets paid five bucks a day on retainer.
I’m a little concerned that Danny doesn’t seem to mind the fact that Joe joed Roz while he was in the room. Not to mention that she taped the camera to his foot.
I think Danny is an extremely heavy sleeper out of sheer self-preservation.
See? Roz is still a dickhead here.
I see what you did there
…with your penis
I always liked Roz, I mean, she is a little sleasy in SPack, but she hasn’t really done anything evil.
So far this Roz is very entertaining!
@_@ why do I keep getting Joyce and Cap’n A. (SPack). I am not like these people at all.
@ David: I don’t have Twitter so I’m mentioning it here: Ruth and Danny together actually sounds pretty good to me. Just because they’re not ‘teh seks’ doesn’t make them a bad pair D:
i agree danny and joyce would be adorable
Yeah she’s likeable and only had two lines of dialogue so far :p
Roz in this universe is promoting a good cause, good for her. Myabe her DoA version WILL be better.
Well… that’s a win for most awkward hat. Ever.
I…like…Roz? Even in the SP! universe she’s not bad…but in this one I like her.
Also I’m suddenly having visions of her touting the benefits of condom use for the camera while she’s putting one on Joe. Joe was probably fine with it.
It’s a much better answer than “What are consequences?”
Although it’s just occured to me it only addresses one of Danny’s concerns. (As others have said, maybe he did wear a condom as well, but he doesn’t mention it.)
I’m in love.
with which one? so much to love here its hard to tell.
I’m foreseeing an encounter with Joyce that is either awkward or REALLY awkward, depending on Joyce’s particular brand of fundamentalism. (Or a conflict with Mary.)
P.S. Joe, the pill won’t help against VDs, buddy. Like Danny said, don’t wanna end up dickless!
It looks like she’s selling raffle tickets. Or hot dogs…
…with condiments.
Was curious – noticed that Roz has her profile up on the cast page but that there’s not one for Dina. Unless Dina’s profile is invisible, in which case I totally understand.

Love the poster for Planned Parenthood. Now that the Government is trying to fuck all women over by denying funds for critical care of prospective mothers (and women who DON’T WANT to be prospective mothers), good to see it pop up somewhere like this.
Sort of a happy accident. I drew this strip a month ago, and there was a period of time a week or two back that I worried by the time the strip showed up, PP would be, uh, anachronistic.
In this political system? For 18 out of the past 20 years nothing ever got do.
I saw that too and even though it may have been an accident it is showing support in some way. (;
omg DoA Roz is me! …minus the sex with strangers part…
Planned Parenthood should have more public DildoGirls. I’d love to the see the fundies’ heads explode at the sight.
…Berma-Shave.
Yeah this is a bit late to add to the conversation, but maybe Joe thinks it isn’t cool to tell other guys (even his best bud) if he wears a sheath. Letting others {think} he doesn’t worry about stuff like that, it’s the “girl’s job”. But in reality he takes care of himself and the girl.
I bet Joe got wiener mange.
She has a Condom on her head…Ew that came out wrong in like 8 different way’s.
Well, Robin is her sister, so we don’t know that she’s on the RIGHT pill…
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this strip.
It’s still as glorious as the day I first saw it.
By the tags, that’s the same Agatha as later, yes? In which case… I’m not sure she’s the best audience for this promotion.
