      Not necessarily.

      I believe that the “wayward” is quite important here. She knows that Walky’s got the hots for Amber, and that she thinks they’re destined to eventually bonk each other. I mean, she told him as much just a few strips ago. But as long as he’s not following this desires for Amber, it’s going to be wayward.

      As for Joyce, I’m not sure if she thinks Joyce has the hots for Walky, nor is she aware who Joyce really has the hots for*; but she does know that Joyce is suppressing her sexual desires into aimlessly wandering around with not real outlet.

      *My bet is Dorothy’s head on Jacob’s body**

      **Joyce: The other way around is also acceptable!

        … I don’t think Joyce will end up pan and in a poly relationship with Jacob and Dorothy but if Joyce grows up, Dorothy either changes life goal or decides she’s OK playing to the section of the crowd who’ll go “threesome, hurr hurr” and vote for her in the hopes of sexy stuff, and Jacob decides to give a relationship model still built around commitment and trust but that isn’t monogamous a shot – I could see that working out pretty well… Hmmm…

          I was not talking about a poly relationship, but rather Joyce’s dream relationship.

          And more importantly, it was a reference to a joke from The Good Place.

        Which is a trope that really needs to die. “You two fight all the time. You must be in love!” Sure, that works out well.

        In this case though it’s the “wayward” as others have said. Whatever you think of the Joyce/Walky crack ship, right now they each have other interests they’re lusting after. Movies where the boy and girl bicker because of their horniness, but aren’t actually into other people are much rarer.

    Does “10 Things I Hate About You” count as Sal’s movie?

    • Marsh Maryrose

      April 16, 2019 at 12:30 am | #

      The question is not which movies fall into this category; the question is how many rom-coms don’t.

      Someone on Patreon correctly pointed out that the ur-example of this is Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” the basis for “10 Things.” “Much Ado” is, of course, also a Kenneth Branagh/Emma Thompson movie.

      The ones that popped into my head right away were “The African Queen” and “Desk Set” and “You’ve Got Mail,” which only goes to show how long it’s been since I regularly watched movies.

    Joyce is right that Walky is bitter for petty things, and… did Sal just broke the fourth wall and referenced the Joyce x Walky from the Walkyverse… Oh my stars, if it turns out this story ends with Joycce and Walky together again I will bang my head in my working desk for how this should have been expected but we were just focused on Amber’s thiccness and Jacob’s abs.

        Yes, it’s almost literally the ‘meet cute’ stereotype! Just about every romantic plot-line in animé tends to be along those lines too!

          FWIW, I can see Joyce and Walky having a make-out session based entirely on annoyance and passion and both later agreeing that it was a huge mistake and should never have happened.

    Aren’t you happy Sal, that you and Joyce have sorted out your friendship and she respects you as an equal; and that you and your brother have bridged the chasms built by a lifetime of favoritism and can build a healthy sibling relationship.

    Otherwise you would miss out on all this.

      Joyce and Walky will always have chemistry. It’s just that this universe has not had them go through the difficult (indeed, traumatic) young adulthood that changed them enough for it not to be an ultimately negative chemistry.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the two end up doing something stupid in a moment of passion but I don’t see them having a lasting romantic entanglement without maturing a lot.

    Frustrated Sal is new to me. I think she needs to find more people to at least verbally spar with. Joyce, Walky and Danny are too easy, Malaya is just a pointless antagonist to her. Marcie is great for that, Amber’s a bit too antisocial for repartee. Jason?

More Asma?

Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story. Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.

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.

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
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.
