Becky and Joe in agreement?
what did butts ever do to Joe
(butts, pls respond)
Not as much as he’d like.
Joe prefers feet
Nah, that’s Joyce.
I deny that I did anything.
Dina: “Oh your God, Becky. Look at her butt.”
I needed that, tks.
It is so big. She looks like one of those list bros’ girlfriends. But, you know, who understands those list bros?
I suspect that it’s more about what butts DIDN’T ever do to Joe.
ASS-umed he wasn’t impacted by philandering.
In this case they have a shared interest re: female secondary sexual characteristics.
The secondary ones are my favorite!
This is actually trueWhy WOULD Joe be looking for Joyce? Wrong answers only.
“Joyce, I’ve decided to join the priesthood, you don’t need all those old bibles and things, right?”
The fact that Joe is Jewish iirc makes this even funnier to me
“I’ll trade you for all my condoms, lube, sex toys, and porn subscriptions”
Does “nobody has seen her since Sal kidnapped her to train her to fight aliens” count as a wrong answer
No, since it’s technically true. Just as no-one has heard from you after the time you swum the Atlantic in a single day.
RassilonTDavros swam across the atlantic in a day in an alternate universe? Was it the one where continental drift got lazy?
He’s worked through his issues and is ready to try to take her on a date for real
Too unrealistic?
what is this, smartingofa— *chased off by untitled goose*
He’s seen the error of his hedonistic ways and has become incredibly devout in his religion. Now that Joyce has rejected Christianity he thinks she’s a prime candidate to help spread the word of Judaism.
You’re an atheist now? Yeah I know, what’s your point?
In high school, I saw a video about Oscar Wilde where a person with an unusual accent pronounced that word like “head on a stick”. That’s the only way I have read it ever since.
His square chinned brothers from Easter Island have come to drag him back. He needs to hide in a pile of Joyce’s sweater vests till things cool down.
Hate it when that happens
Joe has realized he’s actually the secret identity of a magical girl mascot and it’s his responsibility to help Joyce become Cure Sweater Vest.
Mew Buttered Noodles
Hide and seek game. Becky doesn’t realize it, but she just helped him cheat.
But he won’t admit it of course, it’s secret hide-and-seek. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry, oh by the way have you seen King Daniel, they’re my um… comment partner. It’s a thing, look, where are they
Because you can’t spell “Joyce” with out “Joe, why?” See?
I would like to say this made more sense in my head, but I’m not sure it did.
You also can’t spell “That was a lovely pun Dhaibid” without “Daibhid”. See?
You ask why would he? He answers, why WOOD he not Joyce?
noooooo
but also yeeeeees
He has feelings for Liz now so he has to have sex with Joyce to get over them.
What could go wrong
he wants sarah to walk in on him making out with joyce, as a fun and harmless prank.
“we’re science lab partners and we’ve got a class on tuesday! …wait, why did i think this would work”
A proposal of marriage
“I propose that we marry Becky to Dina. The poor girl is gonna explode”
Joyce misplaced her glasses and can’t see properly to look for them, so she needs someone to look for her.
“Joe I’ve lost my glasses, can you look for me”
“I’m right here. I think I’ve found you”
“…”
“Oh”
“Joyce Brown, you shall be visited by three spirits (not counting me), without whose visits you cannot hope to shun the path I tread! Expect the first (again, not counting me) to-morrow when the bell tolls One!
(Oh, also not counting the carriage horses on the stairs earlier. Honestly even I’m not sure what that one was about. You won’t see them again, though, so really I wouldn’t worry about it).
Wait a minute… why am I dead?”
The Full Moon is rising.
Let it fill your heart and mind with ecstasy! 🥰
*plays “Bamboo Dreams” by Elvira Björkman on Hacked Muzak
I don’t understand. Is there something going on with astronomy tonight? Apparently there is supposed to be a “Worm Moon” Friday.
Worm Moon is just a name for the full moon that happens in March. Each month has one or several animals attached to the moon (usually with local significance wherever they sprung up).
A second full moon in any of those months just adds “blue” to it. So two full moons in March would be a “Worm Moon” and a “Blue Worm Moon”.
They’re not all animals, for example the Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon in the fall.
A hunter 8s an animal. A harvest, possibly not.
Fair. Thank you for the correction.
No, the Worm Moon is a mysterious recently discovered rogue planetoid made entirely of abominable undying worms, or, upon closer inspection, a single worm of immeasurable length knotted endlessly upon itself, currently on a stable earthbound trajectory. And it’s growing.
“In March, the Full Moon is the Worm Moon; if it occurs on or after March 21, it is also the Paschal Moon. It is also called Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon.” So sayeth timeanddate dot com.
Who knew the moon was so crowded?
not the moon people!
Or the moon worms apparently.
Moon worms…
Whelp. I know what I’m drawing.
Tommorow.
flat butts?
o3o perhaps.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
But also I would be ever so entertained if people just continued to blindly guess.
I’m so disappointed. i was hoping for moon worms.
“Joyce, we both know you and I are… well… we’re not just friends, right? we’re also, um… wait… *plucks eyelash from Joyce’s cheek* we’re science lab partners aren’t we, so i thought we should study for tuesday’s plant microscopy lab, and i was thinking…”
Joyce: *has spontaneously combusted, is no longer listening*
Blind guess:
Butts disease is not about the butts you see. It’s about the butts you don’t see.
I draw in only two dimensions, so all of the butts are flat.
literally the reason 3d printers were invented
To print flat butts?
“the reason X was invented” is basically always butts
Goku eating scrambled eggs?
Butts…
… and more butts.
The Pont Saint-Bénézet?
Scenes from science class.
Multiple butts of various description?
Hm.
Oh no, we got a case of Butts. Someone contact Pintsize!
Why YES, Joe, that WOULD be an excellent reason to go drop in on Joyce.
Spencer, how hard are you squeeing right now?
I can hear the squeeing from here. The neighborhood dogs are barking like mad.
I’m in complete despair because tomorrow’s Monday and then we’ve got the Halloween flashback, so I’m left adrift wondering when biology class will resume.
My JoJo-induced serotonin is running drastically low.
There, there, friend.
Y’know as a fellow connoisseur of the lewd, I like to imagine that Joe is the kinda guy who can appreciate flat butts. Sure maybe it’s not his preference but butts/boobs of all sizes can have their appeal. Only the weak are hindered by such trivialities.
(also due to Willis’ butts disease I can’t imagine anyone in the immediate vicinity of this dorm hallway has what I’d consider a flat butt.)
Let’s say Mary.
Also I feel like Jason would be a little boney in the heiny.
I have done my research and looked through every strip with mary in it. For posterity (posteriorty?). And funny enough she is almost always drawn from the waist up. After further research however I am led to believe that your assertion may be correct.
She does have somewhat curvy hips sometimes though.
Also early Billie was pretty hot too. Unrelated but it came up in my research.
Joe did apparently give her a good rating, so she must have… something going for her.
There’s a very real possibility that Joe has a Christian fetish.
*raises finger*
…
*lowers finger, grasps own chin with a pensive expression*
I mean, we’d have to re-examine Rachel and Malaya, then.
He lives in Indiana. His options are, statistically, almost all some variety of Christian.
A very convenient coincidence for him then!
lookat Joe showing some chest division
Yo, Joe!
Knowing is more than half the battle.
‘Obligatory greeting’ is my favourite part of this friendship.
It’s a good example of one of Joe’s most endearing qualities: he does genuinely care about Dina and is willing to engage with her on her terms.
I like that too.
Dumbing of Age Book 11: Most Mad About Butts
I’m curious, has anyone actually done a ranking of the DoA butts? I’ll be honest, I’ve noted shapely hips but can’t recall anyone’s butt
We only have contextual clues, but I think Walky apparently has a good butt by canon.
Aside from that, there’s I think Amber and Ethan with notable butts? Well Ethan’s is by word of Joyce.
Like… a list?
I’ve drew out my favorite butts once but that’s pretty dated. I could always try my hand at a tier list though!
An UHD remaster we can all get behind.
https://imgur.com/a/hpSCAed
I decided that the idea of a tier list implies that there’s such a thing as a bad butt so I made them all categorical instead. Having said that unfortunately the list I made isn’t exactly comprehensive so there’s a lotta characters missing :T
Liz would be the same tier as JoyceNice to see the average butt level in DoA is on a nice level.
Seriously the sites bots must be on some bad shit, it ate my damn comment TEN times in a row.
Danny’s ass is well-placed.
I have issues with Ethan’s placement.
Well, maybe pre-Mike’s-Death Ethan. Emothan is probably more bony. Boy hasn’t been eating right.
How has Joe’s butt not been mentioned yet? Did people forget the scene where he walks by Joyce to get to the shower?
This one makes me happy.
…Okay all I have to say about this one is that I really like Joe returning the ‘Obligatory greetings’. It’s cute!! I think their odd friendship(??) is very very cute. Good job all around. Slaps this comic. Thats a good one!
Yeah, Dina and Joe are fun. I imagine they also see each other more than they ever used to due to the Amber connection.
The only thing better would have been for Joe to reply with, “Obligatory response.”
Panel four Joe has borrowed a Danny-face. Love turns us all into dorks. (But does it turn us all into good eggs?)
Danny getting a bit of Joe’s confidence, too.
It’s the equivalent exchange. I learnt this in Full Metal Alchemist.
Becky is admitting that she saw Liz’s parts, which obviously means she openly lusts after Liz and is going to cheat on Dina with Liz. There are no other possibilities.
I wonder when Becky saw Liz. I just remember when she was playing with Joyce at Joe’s room.
Musta been some time in those five seconds.
I assume she had seen pictures on Facebook, she recognized that Liz was one of Joyce’s Facebook friends
That’s physically impossible. Teenagers can’t access anything but the most trendy websites, it’s just genetics.
why not both.png
So Joe is secretly Ray Smuckles?
“It’s not like I like you or anything” is and always has been hilarious actually
I used to not like tsunderes but now I think they’re freaking hilarious.
It works like this!
Starting out, a romantic dynamic between two characters with clashing egos is fun!
The novelty wears off after you’re exposed to it for so long, and then you need particularly good examples to stick out in your mind.
So overdone that you never want to see one again.
It gets to the point where you can make ironic references to this dynamic when relevant in an off-handed jokey way.
The cliche is gone for so long that it becomes fresh again.
Obvious denial is funny
Eh-yooooooooooo
Joe is loosing his coolness just hearing about Joyce… Becky will soon understand what is going withhim… Can’t wait to see how she will react.
I mean, they aren’t wrong. Liz is a mess. Liz is also a very attractive mess.
The reverse of Butts Disease is Chest Fever. https://youtu.be/h_7q9_EJYvE
I miss listen prog rock…
Nothing’s stopping you!
I think Joe has a different disease:

Becky is staring off screen because Liz is right behind Joe having realised her gift of teleportation. Sarah is currently in the back seat of the car alone twitching in confusion and rage as the driver feels a wash of dread.
