Dude, Hebrew Nationals are the best dogs. Kosher beef dogs are way better than random pork assortments. Not that I dislike pork, it’s just that I’ve had the different dogs and Hebrew Nationals should make Nathan’s and Ball Park have a deep moment of self-reflection.
I loved Hebrew national since elementary school; in the cafeteria for just a buck, I’d get two with plenty of mustard, one of my favorite school lunches :9 ^^
Or at least ‘potentially public sex’. The notion that she COULD be interrupted/discovered is probably a big thrill. I suspect that if it became an actuality, she might suddenly find herself feeling differently (the identity and reaction of the person discovering her would play a large role in this, too).
i would hope so , but i feel like sarah wouldn’t be surprised if she somehow accidentally? touched someone’s penis that didn’t belong to her current bf
Honestly if it turned out that this was the first time a lewd act happened in that kitchen, I think that would probably be the most shocking plot development of this entire series.
I’m pretty sure that’s a Jon Arbuckle face. Or at the very least a Lyman’s Mustache face.
Anyway, what did Joyce **do** to Joe that her mouth got twisted into that shape? Did she bite on a rock? I guess he did not properly follow the instructions on the package, then.
A person may be gay, but I don’t know if that makes his masturbation gayer. And now I’m going to have this stupid thought in my head all day as it tries to make itself way more important than it is in reality. Thanks. ;P
Even when you up the number of people to “a lot” (like in a proper dorm with one or two full bathrooms per area, and no shared half-baths between a couple rooms) it doesn’t happen often.
When I lived in a uni dorm we had two bathrooms per floor, but few brushed their teeth in their room – some of us started brushing in our rooms, but walked-while-brushing to a bathroom.
I honestly just thought it was such an absurd claim that I had a hard time processing a response. Like, even if it’s the norm for some people, which it could be, “almost a requirement” seems pretty off. Living in spaces with four people and one bathroom and having been in others’ homes with 4+ people and one bathroom, it hasn’t been how I’ve seen or experienced it handled.
Oof. An extra half-bath makes a huge difference when you’ve got four people sharing a residence, but there’s options. Somebody could finish brushing their teeth over the kitchen sink.
The sinks in the shower room are an option for our protagonists, at least.
I feel fairly confident that over the years of this strip, only Sarah has been shown wandering around the dorm room brushing her teeth.
Now, if any character is the primary MC, it’s Joyce, and having Sarah in the process of brushing her teeth is a nifty way of scene setting and giving starting exposition to each day – it lets her be “doing something” without actually be doing something while she interacts with Joyce, in a mostly neutral pose. So I wouldn’t say that’s proof that *only* Sarah does it. Hell, for all we know, Booster and Walky have long drawn-out conversations while spitting foam back and forth, and we never know because the day never starts with Walky.
But I will say that there’s a decent chance that this is a behavior that only Sarah has, either from how she grew up (fighting for the bathroom in a big family could do that) or just from the desire to avoid people barging in on her in the bathroom.
I found one where she’s brushing her teeth in the middle of her dorm room, and one where she’s in the foreground getting dressed in the shower room while Mary’s at a nearby sink brushing her teeth, but I haven’t found one of her brushing her teeth in the shower room yet.
Brushing your teeth doesn’t take that long, and there are other sinks/bathrooms available on the floor if someone absolutely needed it at the same time. It seems weird to me to not brush your teeth at a sink when there’s one there.
I guess it’s subjective, but how it happens in the comics seems weirder than what you’re describing. But I also think the fact that it’s a shared bathroom makes it make *less* sense to brush your teeth elsewhere because someone could be in there when it’s time to spit.
It seems weird to me *me* to store your toothbrush in the bathroom. Considering toilet plumes. And if you take it from your shelf, might as well start brushing right there.
It really mostly seems to be Sarah who brushes her teeth like that (other have been shown at the sink or by the half-bath, while Sarah has been in the dorm room like this a few times), so I guess it’s more “this character” and I had expanded it to a more general trait.
Personally, I often prefer to pace around my apartment rather than stand still in front of the sink for those two timed minutes. I wouldn’t want to handle my phone though — I’d be afraid of getting it wet or dirty (and I’m almost useless at using it one-handed).
other than just letting an electric tooth brush do its thing i guess it is a little weird to not do it above the sink but maybe it would’ve been a pain to draw a bathroom and its reflection. tho be hilarious if she had said it in the communal shower and like 3 other girls heard her
As someone who walks out of the bathroom to brush his teeth in front of the TV…it’s a bad idea. The foamy toothpaste fills up your mouth and then wants to drip down your chin. Just such a mistake I make 4-5 times a week.
LOL she’s not covered in as much cheese as i’d thought she’d be ;P although still think there would somehow end up with more sexual stuff with dorothy down the line as well with the ‘list’
Is Sarah actually happy about this, or is this more of her trying to smile through things “thing?”
Also congratulations Joyce; now you just have to buy a sex toy, and you will have conquered (most of) the sexual repression that your previous belief system drilled into you.
well she’s not actively trying to stop them any versus the one part where it’s like “having joe in your room will make everyone assume you’re already doing it” That said just ‘touching’ it doesn’t mean she went further
I think Sarah’s smile at the end there is actually genuine! Because honestly how could you not look at these Joyce faces and not smile. It’s hilarious.
If you carefully peel back the tab on the box, you’ll see the 4th hidden instruction clearly reads:
“After mixing thoroughly, serve warm over a penis.”
that’s the good stuff you have to pay for on patreon/slipshine ;P
Though i half expected it being like “making out” and then she touched it but not experienced enough to know that it didn’t feel erect/joe still had some issues to where he wouldn’th ave gotten hard but i suppose for joyce standards baby steps would be ideal tho makes me wonder how his ‘talk’ went if they didn’t immediately make out versus him actually addressing some issues about not immediately sleeping togehter
Ok, maybe we didn’t need to see the *really* good stuff on the website, but at least the tension and discussion and emotional development leading up to it, you know? The moment Joyce summons the courage to pass the emotional threshold of approaching a ding dong.
Sigh… I guess Joyce closing the door represents us as the reader being closed off from what happens next, like the end of The Godfather.
It’s only been a few minutes. She shut the door, yanked his pants down consensually, grabbed his dick, had some kinda fit, and ran to tell Sarah within seconds. He wasn’t even hard, which the next comic will have her remembering and then she’ll dash back to do all that other stuff you said.
So in the meantime, Joe is standing in the kitchen with his pants around his ankles, his penis is fully deployed, and he has a confused look on his face.
i fully imagine she touched it over the pants, and started doing single-frame physical hijinks, like a cartoon character being electrocuted, while making various royalty-free sound effects. that’ll mess your hair up way worse than just normal sex.
who the heck watches their phone while brushing their teeth?
it’s not an activity that takes very long. it’s like taking your phone with you to pee. by the time you load a video or a post to look at, you’re done.
is Sarah brushing her teeth for five goddamn minutes? if she’s overbrushing, her enamel will all be gone
depends on how bad ur phone addiction is but depending on how loud it is if ur using an elec toothbrush or running water i can imagine some ppl listening to music or a podcast or so
I watch videos on my phone while brushing my teeth to keep me distracted otherwise it fells like it takes an eternity, and also to keep the time on how long I do it.
I find two whole minutes strangely almost intolerable, but then I’ve always felt intensely aggravated by the whole process despite not having any sensory issues with it. I’m pretty good at zoning out doing work that requires half your brain, so I can’t explain why I’ve always struggled with this. My that I think that’s what’s happening here.
I brush my teeth in the shower, but if I didn’t, my phone or at least pacing would help.
This is making me cackle for some reason. Like I am imagining a jack in the box tune, then when it finishes Joe’s dick pops out, Joyce squeals, claps her hands, and pats it, and is all excited
I think it poked into her backside, but she didn’t touch it with her hands. This time, lo verily, Joe made her mac’n’cheese (per the instructions) and Joyce put her hands all over that Joe-ness.
For some reason (I was trying to be edgy? Funny? Weird? Hard to say), I wrote the lyrics to this song in the margins of the work pages on my AP Stats exam in high school. Still got a 5 (top score) on it, luckily. Also, I was several years away from having sex myself.
Haha, my college improv troupe and I had nearly this exchange. We were checking in how we were each feeling at the start of rehearsal, and I blurted “[college boyfriend] and I had SEX!” and they were quite pleased for me. One verified that this was a first time thing, and gave me a fistbump. College!
On the one hand I’m glad that Joyce was able to touch Joe in a sexual manner, and not freak out. On the other hand I want to know how cooking Mac and cheese, and talking turned into touching a dick, and I want to know Joe’s reaction.
Do people actually eat lettuce wrapped in paper? Do people actually watch Seinfeld episodes backwards? Do people actually cross the street without looking first? Do people actually sit in chairs with their ankles crossed? Do people actually live in Wisconsin? Do people actually speak using accents that aren’t their native one? Do people actually dress in green? Do people actually hold forks in their left hands? Do people actually write down their passwords on notes attached to the device?
She might have really hurt herself had that penis not been there to grab onto.
(My phone tried to autocorrect “penis” to “punishment.” Very fundie of it.)

*plays “The Touch” by Stan Bush on hacked muzak*
I went with Katy Perry: “I touched a peen, and I liked it…”
“Hope my girlfriend don’t mind it”, indeed.
Nooooo – That was in a public kitchen!! I guess she Dared to Be Stupid.
You’re saying she found Mr. Goodbar?
Got her hands around that 100% all-beef Hebrew National knockwurst.
dammit now i hungry for actual hotdogs XD
Well your options are a tad limited around Joe, so I’d suggest waiting for a bit, first.
Sounds like a knock-off-wurst, it’s not a real one if there isn’t pork in it. =(
Don’t knock it till you try it
Dude, Hebrew Nationals are the best dogs. Kosher beef dogs are way better than random pork assortments. Not that I dislike pork, it’s just that I’ve had the different dogs and Hebrew Nationals should make Nathan’s and Ball Park have a deep moment of self-reflection.
This!
I loved Hebrew national since elementary school; in the cafeteria for just a buck, I’d get two with plenty of mustard, one of my favorite school lunches :9 ^^
Did she get the mono working now?
More like “Good and Plenty”!
Given this and her laundry room adventure with Dorothy, I think Joyce may have a thing for public sex.
Or at least ‘potentially public sex’. The notion that she COULD be interrupted/discovered is probably a big thrill. I suspect that if it became an actuality, she might suddenly find herself feeling differently (the identity and reaction of the person discovering her would play a large role in this, too).
*follows with ”The Bad Touch” by Bloodhound Gang*
i’d like to think she touch it for like 2 seconds, and immediately ran to sarah with this info
Good for Joyce.
I don’t know what I expected.
This was not it.
lol unexpected strips to send to your friends with no context 8D;
TOUCHDOWN!!!
ok, not sure why the original didn’t go through despite saying it was a duplicate
(“…was it Joe’s? =O “)
Oh, that would be a plot twist
i would hope so , but i feel like sarah wouldn’t be surprised if she somehow accidentally? touched someone’s penis that didn’t belong to her current bf
Nooo! That shared kitchen may be forever unclean!
Honestly if it turned out that this was the first time a lewd act happened in that kitchen, I think that would probably be the most shocking plot development of this entire series.
I’m willing to bet that actual sexual intercourse to completion has taken place in that kitchen.
This!
Also I’m all “wait is it the next morning” but no she’s wearing the same stuff so… shared kitchen makeouts it is I GUESS
I mean good for her but … shared space shared space shared space!
At least it had a door.
I mean, if she’d spent the night in Joe’s bed, she’d still have the same clothes, too. But it’s still the same storyline, so.
Yup. The chapter title is the definitive marker of which day it is. Same title, same day.
Nobody else was in there and the door was closed. It’s fine.
Bloodrose was also there, just out of sight for both us and them.
…and thus, to an entire reading audience, the vulnerability of college campuses to COVID, meningitis and other outbreaks suddenly made perfect sense.
Given teenage hormones i wouldn’t be surprised if there was a special cleanup crew that came in once a week to do a full wipedown all day lol
Reminds me of that always sunny scene, “i’m the guy who wipes down the loads”
That was every college dorm shared kitchen ever. Even if it wasn’t used for sex.

oh right, we format tags with instead of []
In trying to prove that I can use HTML tags I have only given them an opportunity to defeat me further.
Grovel before the tag!
Or think to yourself, “Nobody cares anyway.”
That’s just how HMTL is, I swear!
i’ve been learning HTML since i was a wee child on Geocities back in the 90s and 00s. I still have not bested it
And we have a new Joyce Face!
I’m pretty sure that’s a Jon Arbuckle face. Or at the very least a Lyman’s Mustache face.
Anyway, what did Joyce **do** to Joe that her mouth got twisted into that shape? Did she bite on a rock? I guess he did not properly follow the instructions on the package, then.
What, you don’t season your mac and cheese with pea gravel? Minerals are good for you!
I like to put peas in my mac n cheese, maybe i should add some gravel, make it mac n grits
I desperately want that as my permanent gravatar, yet I’m also too lazy to set that up.
Wh– DETAILS, JOYCE!!! DETAILS!! QUICK, TO THE SECOND PATREON!!!
Nada, just Ethan straight up jorkin his penits
don’t you mean “gay up”? XD
A person may be gay, but I don’t know if that makes his masturbation gayer. And now I’m going to have this stupid thought in my head all day as it tries to make itself way more important than it is in reality. Thanks. ;P
Of course it’s gayer. There’s a gay dude touching the penis of a gay dude. That’s math.
Did she actually DO anything with it, bat it around like a cat does a rubber mouse, poke it with a stick (poor Joe!)?
Blue Box can prevent Blue Balls.
God, it’s like American Pie got a brand deal so lucrative they had to change the movie’s name.
Those Joyce faces lololol
These characters with their middle-of-their-dorm-room-teeth-brushing…
Is that weird? feels like the done thing when it’s one bathroom for four people.
Yeah, having to share a half bath with four different bladders makes this almost a requirement.
It really doesn’t.
According to who?
People who don’t take very long to brush their teeth, mostly. It’s courteous and probably happens fairly often, but it’s definitely not required.
Even when you up the number of people to “a lot” (like in a proper dorm with one or two full bathrooms per area, and no shared half-baths between a couple rooms) it doesn’t happen often.
When I lived in a uni dorm we had two bathrooms per floor, but few brushed their teeth in their room – some of us started brushing in our rooms, but walked-while-brushing to a bathroom.
Point is, I second your response
I honestly just thought it was such an absurd claim that I had a hard time processing a response. Like, even if it’s the norm for some people, which it could be, “almost a requirement” seems pretty off. Living in spaces with four people and one bathroom and having been in others’ homes with 4+ people and one bathroom, it hasn’t been how I’ve seen or experienced it handled.
Oof. An extra half-bath makes a huge difference when you’ve got four people sharing a residence, but there’s options. Somebody could finish brushing their teeth over the kitchen sink.
The sinks in the shower room are an option for our protagonists, at least.
Several people and one bathroom does suck, but teeth brushing was never really the issue with it.
I feel fairly confident that over the years of this strip, only Sarah has been shown wandering around the dorm room brushing her teeth.
Now, if any character is the primary MC, it’s Joyce, and having Sarah in the process of brushing her teeth is a nifty way of scene setting and giving starting exposition to each day – it lets her be “doing something” without actually be doing something while she interacts with Joyce, in a mostly neutral pose.

Billie’s done it. Have fun finding the strip.
I found one where she’s brushing her teeth in the middle of her dorm room, and one where she’s in the foreground getting dressed in the shower room while Mary’s at a nearby sink brushing her teeth, but I haven’t found one of her brushing her teeth in the shower room yet.
Brushing your teeth doesn’t take that long, and there are other sinks/bathrooms available on the floor if someone absolutely needed it at the same time. It seems weird to me to not brush your teeth at a sink when there’s one there.
I wander off while brushing my teeth quite often, to add things to the grocery list or set stuff up for my shower etc. Not that weird.
I guess it’s subjective, but how it happens in the comics seems weirder than what you’re describing. But I also think the fact that it’s a shared bathroom makes it make *less* sense to brush your teeth elsewhere because someone could be in there when it’s time to spit.
It seems weird to me *me* to store your toothbrush in the bathroom. Considering toilet plumes. And if you take it from your shelf, might as well start brushing right there.
There are no toilet plumes in my bathroom, because there are no toilets in my bathrooms. They are in separate rooms with a hand-basin each.
Well…? Given what they apparently do in the kitchen, I’d wanna spend as little time in the bathroom as I could manage.
It really mostly seems to be Sarah who brushes her teeth like that (other have been shown at the sink or by the half-bath, while Sarah has been in the dorm room like this a few times), so I guess it’s more “this character” and I had expanded it to a more general trait.
Personally, I often prefer to pace around my apartment rather than stand still in front of the sink for those two timed minutes. I wouldn’t want to handle my phone though — I’d be afraid of getting it wet or dirty (and I’m almost useless at using it one-handed).
I also wouldn’t risk speaking while brushing my teeth!
Yeah, I don’t object to using one’s phone so much as think that I, personally, would not be very successful with it.
other than just letting an electric tooth brush do its thing i guess it is a little weird to not do it above the sink but maybe it would’ve been a pain to draw a bathroom and its reflection. tho be hilarious if she had said it in the communal shower and like 3 other girls heard her
As someone who walks out of the bathroom to brush his teeth in front of the TV…it’s a bad idea. The foamy toothpaste fills up your mouth and then wants to drip down your chin. Just such a mistake I make 4-5 times a week.
Joyce’s mouth here looks like Lyman’s mustache
I *knew* it looked familiar!
why do i feel like we’re going to get rugpulled…
Like maybe she just briefly groped him by accident over his pants and ran away tittering?
She tripped and fell hand-first into his cock, as God intended.
Kyaaa baka Joe senpai
He’s not an upperclassman. Fake gamer spotted.
oh shit I’ve been exposed, I’m running away and biting the gamepad sexily
I know that’s not a euphemism, but it kinda feels like it should be a euphemism.
Everything is euphemism, unless it’s innuendo.
But also I hope Joe is emotionally okay, I know he’s been dealing with his own fears and stuff.
I often have the worst character image for what I am expressing lol
Well, there you go. Mac ‘n Cheese is her aphrodisiac.
LOL she’s not covered in as much cheese as i’d thought she’d be ;P although still think there would somehow end up with more sexual stuff with dorothy down the line as well with the ‘list’
Is Sarah actually happy about this, or is this more of her trying to smile through things “thing?”
Also congratulations Joyce; now you just have to buy a sex toy, and you will have conquered (most of) the sexual repression that your previous belief system drilled into you.
well she’s not actively trying to stop them any versus the one part where it’s like “having joe in your room will make everyone assume you’re already doing it” That said just ‘touching’ it doesn’t mean she went further
“[S]he tried the smile again.”
Oh daaaaaaang.
Sarah’s inner monologue “Not my Circus, not my clown dicks.. not my circus.. not my clown dicks…”
The Eastern European equivalent is “Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
hair’s disheveled.
Gimmie that slipshine!!
Joyce Touches A Penis: A Slipshine Pornographique
I think Sarah’s smile at the end there is actually genuine! Because honestly how could you not look at these Joyce faces and not smile. It’s hilarious.
It’s also such a cute thing to say in response.
The “buddy” doesn’t feel like Sarah. It feels more like Sarah forcing herself to be upbeat.
Love that for you, Joyce!
Joe Gets To Second Base, a Dumbing of Age Pornographique
Considering she apparently initiated, I’d title it “Joyce Gets To Second Base, a Dumbing of Age Pornographique”.
Wouldn’t that be third base?
https://xkcd.com/540/
Somewhere between, I think.
holy hell, gg joyce
Hopefully she didn’t get it covered with Mac and cheese (cooked according to instructions).
Unless that was what was wanted.
If you carefully peel back the tab on the box, you’ll see the 4th hidden instruction clearly reads:
“After mixing thoroughly, serve warm over a penis.”
Ow, ow, ow, OWWWW!
Oh please, most dicks don’t even have functional nerve endings by age 19. A little warm pasta isn’t gonna cause any real discomfort.
Doesn’t that depend on if it is circumcised or not?
Also now I’m really curious what Traditional Grumpy Sarah would have said.
“Good on you, buddy…”
While rolling her eyes.
Good on you girl!
That has to be my favorite Joyce Face ever
>:C
The penis-touching scene happened off-screen while we had to watch Amber whine about filth-wallowing??!!
that’s the good stuff you have to pay for on patreon/slipshine ;P
Though i half expected it being like “making out” and then she touched it but not experienced enough to know that it didn’t feel erect/joe still had some issues to where he wouldn’th ave gotten hard but i suppose for joyce standards baby steps would be ideal tho makes me wonder how his ‘talk’ went if they didn’t immediately make out versus him actually addressing some issues about not immediately sleeping togehter
Ok, maybe we didn’t need to see the *really* good stuff on the website, but at least the tension and discussion and emotional development leading up to it, you know? The moment Joyce summons the courage to pass the emotional threshold of approaching a ding dong.
Sigh… I guess Joyce closing the door represents us as the reader being closed off from what happens next, like the end of The Godfather.
[Crowd chants] Flash-back! Flash-back! Flash-back!
It’s only been a few minutes. She shut the door, yanked his pants down consensually, grabbed his dick, had some kinda fit, and ran to tell Sarah within seconds. He wasn’t even hard, which the next comic will have her remembering and then she’ll dash back to do all that other stuff you said.
Well in that case first she’ll obviously have to actually consume the mac n cheese.
So in the meantime, Joe is standing in the kitchen with his pants around his ankles, his penis is fully deployed, and he has a confused look on his face.
”I mean, it was through his pants…
using the kitchen gloves that I found under the sink…
and the tongs from the utensil drawer…
…but hey, I can now say ‘penis’ instead of ‘ding-dong’, so I’m still a woman of the world now, right?”
”…”
”…right?”
“And it was made of macaroni…”
hell yeah
Get it, Joyce!
Simply “touched”? By the looks of it, you must’ve went past… second base?
We coulda had a Hallowiener~
i fully imagine she touched it over the pants, and started doing single-frame physical hijinks, like a cartoon character being electrocuted, while making various royalty-free sound effects. that’ll mess your hair up way worse than just normal sex.
My ship sails strong on the seas
who the heck watches their phone while brushing their teeth?
it’s not an activity that takes very long. it’s like taking your phone with you to pee. by the time you load a video or a post to look at, you’re done.
is Sarah brushing her teeth for five goddamn minutes? if she’s overbrushing, her enamel will all be gone
depends on how bad ur phone addiction is but depending on how loud it is if ur using an elec toothbrush or running water i can imagine some ppl listening to music or a podcast or so
I watch videos on my phone while brushing my teeth to keep me distracted otherwise it fells like it takes an eternity, and also to keep the time on how long I do it.
I find two whole minutes strangely almost intolerable, but then I’ve always felt intensely aggravated by the whole process despite not having any sensory issues with it. I’m pretty good at zoning out doing work that requires half your brain, so I can’t explain why I’ve always struggled with this. My that I think that’s what’s happening here.
I brush my teeth in the shower, but if I didn’t, my phone or at least pacing would help.
Maybe she’s reading, or set a timer to make sure she’s brushing long enough.
She might not be watching it. Maybe she got a text and checked it right as Joyce walked in. We only see snapshots.
Also she might be watching something on her phone and that is a perfectly normal thing to do.
Mostly I just don’t put my phone or book down from whatever bedtime reading I was doing, but continue while brushing my teeth.
My lord I know it’s a cliche, but honestly: That escalated quickly!
(And the cliche response: _That’s what she said._ )
(Oh, that’s not how you do italics here I guess.)
Quickly? No, it took more than 1 year…
SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was it before during or after the preparation of the Kraft mac and cheese?
After. She found it in the bottom of her bowl. Joe was doing the old popcorn trick.
Was it before during 1or after the preparation of the Kraft mac and cheese, per the instructions?
(there ya go; fixed it for ya for max sexiness)
of course this happens off-screen.
you have’ta go to the spicy site for that. ~<3
from ding-dong bandit to ding-dong toucher… ~<3
“talk”
This is making me cackle for some reason. Like I am imagining a jack in the box tune, then when it finishes Joe’s dick pops out, Joyce squeals, claps her hands, and pats it, and is all excited
Oh gods that’s a flashback my mind had mercifully buried until now. Thankyouverymuch.
Didn’t she technically touch it when she and Joe had their naked nap?
Es posible that “touched” means more than touched if you understand my meaning.
That was topless cuddling.
I think it poked into her backside, but she didn’t touch it with her hands. This time, lo verily, Joe made her mac’n’cheese (per the instructions) and Joyce put her hands all over that Joe-ness.
context is important here
the last person who said this to me has a restraining order on them
She just had sex!
*GASP*
For some reason (I was trying to be edgy? Funny? Weird? Hard to say), I wrote the lyrics to this song in the margins of the work pages on my AP Stats exam in high school. Still got a 5 (top score) on it, luckily. Also, I was several years away from having sex myself.
And it felt so good! (Felt so good)
This is a big step for Joyce!
I hope this wasn’t while Joe was cooking Mac n Cheese
Remember, Joyce, it only counts as kissing and telling if you KISSED the penis.
but “touch and tell” is still an earthling thing?
Haha, my college improv troupe and I had nearly this exchange. We were checking in how we were each feeling at the start of rehearsal, and I blurted “[college boyfriend] and I had SEX!” and they were quite pleased for me. One verified that this was a first time thing, and gave me a fistbump. College!
College is an excellent time for both such happy first-times and friend group positive responses! (also supports if the first-times aren’t so happy)
Joyce is very handy.
She works well with tools.
She has a good grasp on the situation.
Good- , mediocre-, hand- … there’s just no way to tell!
That’s what the Slipshine is for.
So, that’s 3rd base, right?
Just using her hand(s) on his penis in the communal kitchen? I think that’s second down with 10 seconds remaining on the throw timer.
She did her waiting!
Twelve years of it!!!
in Azkaban…!

My response is about the same as Sarah’s. Good job!!!
High five!!!
Ahh, maybe she should wash her hands first before any high fives are exchanged?
On the one hand I’m glad that Joyce was able to touch Joe in a sexual manner, and not freak out. On the other hand I want to know how cooking Mac and cheese, and talking turned into touching a dick, and I want to know Joe’s reaction.
We have to wait for the Slipshine.
actually it’s on Willis’s NSFW Patreon ^^
I enjoy her tousled hair.
See, Joyce? Pre-marital hanky panky can be quite fun!
Re: Alt Text
In any case it definitely was a handy job
Now now, “touch” doesn’t have to mean hands. It could have even been a kneejob.
So what did they talk about?
I just spent a full minute laughing incontrollably at my desk
A very funny desk, huh?
Do people actually brush their teeth, staring at their phone, while no where near a sink?
They share a half bathroom, so maybe she’s just being considerate of her neighbours
Do people actually eat lettuce wrapped in paper? Do people actually watch Seinfeld episodes backwards? Do people actually cross the street without looking first? Do people actually sit in chairs with their ankles crossed? Do people actually live in Wisconsin? Do people actually speak using accents that aren’t their native one? Do people actually dress in green? Do people actually hold forks in their left hands? Do people actually write down their passwords on notes attached to the device?
I was assuming she’s using the phone as a mirror. What she’s going to do when she needs to spit, I don’t know.
(Actually, maybe that should be “what she did when she needed to spit”, since whatever it was, she seems to have done it between panels 2 and 3.)
Walk the 10 steps back to the bathroom sink?
It’s not that big a deal.
This coulda been ME but I’m ACE
Man I WISH I was horny enough to be this psyched about penis touching.
Joyce you scandalous wench! I bet you’ve engaged in unprotected hand-holding, too!
If this school was outside of the Americas, I’d even accuse you of using…. each other’s first names
Plot twist. It wasn’t Joe. Joyce just tripped in her drawing class and grabbed whatever was nearby so she wouldn’t fall.
She might have really hurt herself had that penis not been there to grab onto.
(My phone tried to autocorrect “penis” to “punishment.” Very fundie of it.)
Penishment
Hey! She did it!
If this was old Sarah she’d try to touch the Penis too, with a baseball bat.
Witnessed!
This has the exact energy of an April Fools comic.
So… Kraft Macaroni and . . . Jizz?
Sarah’s still in Positivity Mode, obviously! I wonder what Sarah Classic would have said?
I’m happy for her, but I have not seen one since 2001, and if I ever see another it will be 100,000 years too soon.
… at least you already have seen something.
Honestly, this is the support she needs. This is the support i needed. I love Sarah’s immediate reaction!
