                  And Her Harem. Conveniently, also the name of the White House Band, after the landslide election of Dorothy on the “CHECK OUT MY HAREM AND GOOD GRADES” ticket.

        I was just going to say – this went from being a great Python sketch-ender to a rather poignant moment.

        (Also, Dorothy, just a hint : remember to use the word “caramel” when describing it to Joyce.)

      “Rub it on my tummy,” Joyce moaned, holding Dorothy close to her naked body.

      “That’s not how it works,” Dorothy whispered, gently caressing her breast. “Wait, well, that’s kind of how it works.”

          Please, Dorothy is an atheist, not a Heathen. We used to have several Heathens that attended my church until they had job issues and got transferred out of state. Heathen is a very proud Pagan tradition.

            By traditional definition Dotty is both heathen (being one who doesn’t follow an Abrahamic faith) and pagan (being one who is not Christian). By modern definition, she is neither pagan (she neither follows any Neopagan religion nor any polytheistic religion) nor heathen (specifically being a post-Christian atheist rather than someone from an unconverted tradition and not being of that class of Christians who act in ways that go against the spirit of Christian dogma).

              And then there’s heretic, which is not the right kind of Christian. (That’s the very worst, because they’re doing it wrong.)

              Mind you, today “Heathen” also means “Pagan follower of Norse gods except not like how Wiccan followers do it;” there’s actually a surprisingly large difference between the way Wiccans view gods (seeing them as different facets of a single ultimate male or female entity, the way one person can be a wife AND a mother AND a doctor AND a geek) and the way heathens see them (as discrete individuals). So there’s that too.

              Um, Heathen in Modern use is more “One who doesn’t follow my religion”. I think you are thinking of an Apostate.

        I don’t even think Willis is a fast enough artist to draw a billion.

        Although if you did the whole thing in Flash and developed an algorithm for generating the dicks randomly, the sky’s the limit.

        Can’t be properly described, IMHO. Especially the emotional aspect which really outweighs the physical side. Since supposedly women are supposed to be the ones more into the emotional side, I will say that I am a dude.

        I could say a lot more, as I thought about it a fair bit in the many years before I had sex, but eh.

    I’m not sure it’s been said, but I love that Joyce’s hoodie dress is too big, and I get why. It’s the same reason my mother had me constantly in clothes that were too big, it’s the length. If she had bought one that actually fit it would be “too short”. It’s just so fitting to the character, and relatable to me. Great job Willis.

    I really do like how both girls value their friendship. Dorothy is worried about losing Joyce’s good opinion of her. Their different value systems keep crashing though, so the path is a rocky one. Makes for a good plot though.

    Well, it’s like hanky-panky, only premarital.

    There is a reason religions lay claim to it as a major incentive for their blessing of a union.

    Now it is true that some church leaders (like the late John Paul II) water down their bartering hand by admonishing about lust even in a marriage. And the Puritans from which the European American populace derive to a good degree by blood and traditions are also somewhat squeamish even about marital hanky-panky. But the usual bargain is “do whatever you like in the bedroom as long as you got our blessing for it”.

    So I don’t really see that Joyce is going in the direction “try it premaritally” when curious. But it might make the “try angling for a gay boyfriend and/or husband” angle seem like more of a bad idea.

    Not that she hasn’t already scared him shitless.

    Feels for Joyce. She’s awfully alone. Laughed at and a source of funny stories by her friends. Almost drugged and raped. Of course she values Dorothy – her only real friend, the only one who respects her.

    If she asked her roommate this, it would get laughs and be a funny story.

    Plus Dorothy needs to talk about this. This is getting more serious than she wanted it to. Walky isn’t just a convenient boy-toy, though he would gladly do that.

    I think we are headed for DRAMA ENSUES not HIJINKS ENSUES.

    If Dorothy’s next words were, “Pre-marital hanky panky is not for everyone” or some such thing about premarital sex came out of her mouth, +20 respect for willis. Not because I advocate such a position, not because I believe waiting is better than not, but because neither side should be pushed on someone.

        The only reason I could think of is if Dotty determines that Joyce isn’t mature enough to be responsible when she becomes sexually active.

        Is that a trick question?

        Dorothy has her own moral standards and stance. Within that framework, she has decided that premarital hanky-panky is worth more to her than not having it.

        Joyce is her friend and sees her as a role model. However, she has different moral standards and stances. Copying Dorothy’s behavior will not necessarily lead to a net win for her.

        Since Dorothy cares for Joyce and respects her including her standards, she does not want to be the cause of causing Joyce to fall apart.

        So this question makes Dorothy very self-conscious: her actions have effects beyond herself, effects she did not take into account when making her choices.

        An ex girl-friend of mine had been an occasional smoker. I guess that basically she figured that she could accept the damage she did to herself. It was somewhat annoying to her that when she came back later from a party than I did or was on some party alone, that I smelled whether she had been smoking or not when she returned. I don’t remember whether I had mentioned this at some point of time, but at any rate, her mood dropped three notches when she thought I noticed.

        So once on a party of ours, I joined in the smoking. Or tried. “You are just puffing.” Inhale, cough, cough, cough. Somewhat embarrassing. I think it was her cigarette and I handed it back.

        She never smoked again after this party. I prefer to believe that she did not care for turning me into a smoker over believing that she did not care to get embarrassed again over my awkward show of sharing a smoke.

        To come back to your question: my guess would be that Dorothy would try answering Joyce’s question, but she would not have wanted to be asked the question in the first place. Because she’ll feel responsible for the effect the answer might have on Joyce.

        And it is communication. Making Joyce see her through her own eyes requires also seeing herself through Joyce’s eyes when she wants to pick her words carefully.

        At any rate, you have enough of a buffer that what you have chosen will not be swayed by this answer. I suspect you knew most of it by heart anyway.

      I, on the other hand, would lose respect, because providing accurate information is not “pushing premarital sex on” anyone, and in any case my own beliefs are irrelevant. I don’t see how it would be in-character for Dorothy to deny Joyce the best information she can muster.

        I mean, I wouldn’t lose respect for her because I could understand not knowing how to explain/not feeling like it. But I agree that it’d be out of character for Dorothy.

    “Could you say she did first what no one has ever done better and mention plump brown legs, flat belly, hard little breasts, well holding arms, quick searching tongue, the flat eyes, the good taste of mouth, then uncomfortably, tightly, sweetly, moistly, lovely, tightly, achingly, fully, finally, unendingly, never-endingly, never-to-endingly, suddenly ended, the great bird flown like an owl in the twilight, only in daylight in tfe woods and hemlock needles stuck against your belly.”

    Ooh man, Joyce and Walky are sooo getting together.

    Now for reasons that have nothing to do with previous iterations of the characters.

    1. Name 2 other people who have extreme dislike for each other for no reason. Walky and Joyce dislike each other because of religious beliefs, having not gotten to know each other at all. This is generally the beginnings of a romantic subplot. Look at Star Wars with Han Solo and Leia. Much Ado about Nothing with Beatrice and Benadick.

    2. It’s already been shown that Joyce think’s Walky’s hot and Walky pretty much likes any girl who likes Dexter and Monkey Master.

    The way I see it. At some point in the future, Dotty will leave for another college, Walky and Joyce will commiserate over the loss of their primary friend in their life, by watching Dexter and Monkey Master. Boom! Relationship.

    Haha, I was just thinking before the comic came up how great it would be if Joyce asked Dorothy what it was like. That said, I’m getting the feels from Joyce’s line “…No. Never of you.” She just has so much respect and love for Dorothy and I can’t handle how sweet it.

    I get the feeling that Dorothy is going to choose to skip a class in order to talk to Joyce about this. It would be a perfect showcase of how much she cares about Joyce’s health.

    And then the class she skips has a surprise exam.

    “Well Joyce, remember that thing I did to you with my tongue as a ‘thank you’ for sticking up for me in front of your parents? Its kind of like that, except larger and less flexible.”
