ok, it’s a little obvious that’s not a selfie
unless Dotty has a third hand we don’t know about
i mean Amber took it XD
That’s a very funny aspect of this, and I’d kind of love it if Joyce’s only reaction was, “Wait, who took this?”
Dorothy is just that good.
for all she knows Dotty had but finesse and a selfie stick XD
Oh I took it, I just had someone hold my blouse open!
Sure, that makes it all better.
Joyce: “Oh, yeah, it’s Dorothy. Recognize those freckles anywhere. Yeah, she’s got staff for this.”
holy shit a new Ana Chronistic pfp
‘rouns these parts they’re gravatars. You can spin the wheel on grav-roulette if’n you’d like.
There’s an article about Grav Roulette on the Walkypedia.
https://walkypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Grav_Roulette
Ana almost always picks a custom one from the preview panels Willis posts on Tumblr/Bluesky, then sticks with it until the strip it appears in comes around.
For all Joyce knows she could’ve used the photo timer feature
The angle does make that seem like a lot of work. As opposed to the cool, breezy joke that it definitely is.
Tripod. Or suction cup phone stand. The tools exist!
Selfie stick, maybe?
Drone!
Set the timer, count down to last second, toss phone up, CLICK!, retrieve phone from carefully-placed pillow.
Holding the phone with her teeth, obviously.
Maybe she was in Viktor’s cult and got to take the nex step in her Glorious Evolution.
Dorothy’s solution to her Joyce situationship, join the cult headed by the grand leader of Situationships
Y’all never prop your phone up against something and use the timer function to take a picture? Or use one of those mini tripod things? You don’t need a friend to do it for you. But yeah, it sort of takes away from the spur-of-the-moment-ness of it all for a naughty pic.
a selfie by definition is taken by YOURSELF, not with a timer or whatever
I hope Dorothy is just enjoying seeing herself as the sex icon she so clearly is!
*Cackling in bisexual*
Hahahahah yes
YES… HA HA HA… YES!
She wants her to see them.
Desperately.
Ah yes, the other person down bad for Joyce
Well something for Joyce
Downblouse for Joyce.
Wheezing, thank you
This is an Icarus-level commitment to the bit
The pride flag on that sweater is flying upside down to honor how much of a disaster these two are.
It’s upside down on her shirt so it is right side up every time Dorothy looks down at her phone.
Or her boobs.
she’s already gay in Reverse World.
Flags are typically flown upside down by… ships in distress. Checks out!
well it wouldn’t be a very good joke if it didn’t send would it.
come on dotty. it’s funny. it’s for jokes. it’s for jokes dotty you have to resend it. be funny now
I honestly can’t tell anymore if this is meant to be a ‘Dorothy is overly attached to Joyce’ or ‘Dorothy is discovering her sexuality’ storyline.
(I do find it kind of amusing that if Dorothy does turn out to be bi, that would just leave, what, four ‘straight’ main female cast members? Joyce, Sal, Sarah and Lucy.)
Oh wait, there’s Amber.
Yeah, I was going to say– Amber’s more a mess than anything, but, like, a straight mess.
I can’t remember why, but I think AG might not be straight.
idk amber seemed pretty interested in getting joyorthcey happening
…So? Straight people are allowed to support not-straight relationships.
Amber wants everyone to fuck all the time, but she doesn’t want to fuck everyone
I think Amber just craves mess. I’m messing up two lives for giggles? Sounds like fun.
Amber is there for the UST and the drama. She’s there for the characters.
And we all know Joyce and Dotty are dudes in her fics.
I am not into women (I tried lol) but I wanna see joyorthey happen! Shipping does not mean you want to be part of the ship or are aroused by it.
One’s orientation has nothing to do with one’s shipping interests.
I’m pretty skeptical that Joyce is actually straight.
+1!
Me too. Joyce is definitely bi, and apparently so is Dorothy.
But only until graduation?
It would be funny as all hell if Joyce is the only straight one though.
But then, there’s the angst of Becky finding out she wasn’t scissor sister material for Joyce, but Dotty (her forever rival) is.
And the possible scientific heartbreak of Dina questioning if she was a rebound, or the dreaded “no one else loves me, so I’m keeping you out of fear of being alone forever” paranoia.
Then there’s the “Dotty realizing her newfound bisexuality crush comes with a built in BF” silver lining, until she remembers it’s *Joe,* and she hates Joe for… Being honest about being a horndog…
Lots of intense drama potential there! Fortunately, Willis would never do any of that to us!
…
Right?
:O
Joyce still looks biromantic but heterosexual to me. But we’ll see.
Given the “I’m cool with everything above the neck” comment she’s made previously that honestly would make sense.
That is absolutely not why she hates Joe
Honestly, considering their track records, Joe has been a better significant other then Dotty across the board, even during his man ho phase. So she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.
Joe has vastly improved, but the whole point of his earlier approach is that he wasn’t a significant other. That he objectified women. Made them feel unsafe.
its both codependent yuri ftw
I have two best friends that I’m quite attached to, and neither of which would I give boob pics to. Granted, part of that is because they are gay and aroace respectively, but also, I personally just wouldn’t feel compelled to send them a pic like that! So with Dorothy, I am… definitely on the side of her having feelings for Joyce. I think she just doesn’t understand it because up til this point she thought she was straight.
Turns out the comic being set in the home of the Kinsey Institute was just incredible foreshadowing ( ･ ͜･)
We love to see it
Maybe it’s an “Amber has a wicked sense of humor and knows how to push Dorothy’s buttons” line.
Doesn’t Jennifer still identify as straight, despite her multiple relationships with women?
She had kind of a revelation at one point, when she went on an actual date with Ruth, but she seems to have reverted. Though I don’t think she’s actually said she was straight or outright denied being into girls since the timeskip, just heavily implied it.
She’s mentally “in the closet” again after the break up, is the long and short of it.
Yeah WOW this is pretty gay OMG
we be cranking up the gay to ELEVEN :D
are you still sure you’re a 0 on the Kinsey scale Dorothy
So this storyline is… Joyce’s harem anime?
Works for me.
maybe thats the whole comic
Sal is the final boss.
By “First Girl Wins”, wouldn’t that mean she ends up with Sarah?
Anime rules, it would be Jocelyne.
Tween drama rules, it would be Becky.
Sarah only wins if we’re doing medieval pastiche or bodice ripper.
“Anime rules, it would be Jocelyne.”
I hate that you’re right.
Me (*rubs chin thoughtfully): Yeah, we’re working on that. But the rate they’re going, Joyce’ll just get the harem all situated in time for them to start graduating.
ok rainbow shirt
Yeah, this makes it clear that she like, actually planned it and is intentionally showing boobs. Pretty gay. (Okay personally I think Dorothy/Joyce is queerplatonic, at the moment.)
I don’t think there’s a heterosexual explanation for this.
Good thing that queer platonic relationships aren’t heterosexual!
Was that just one that didn’t deliver, or another undelivered for each time we see that?
Do it. Doooooo eeeeeet!
I think it’s also very clear here that Dorothy is much better at the whole “semi-nude photos” thing than Joyce is
It’s Amber’s work, actually.
She really isn’t, she just called in a ringer.
Joyce just need more flash
sound of gears in head
I feel her. If I took a naughty pic that good, I’d want to send it, too.
I guess there’s poor reception in the hall or wherever Joyce is having lunch, or Joyce’s inbox is somehow full, or someone accidentally put their phone in airplane mode? What are our theories? What’s the funniest/most autistic reason?
Zoomr or whatever, yet another one of Rutten’s Perfectly Functioning Apps™
Dorothy has an app installed that automatically detects poor choices and she keeps having to set it to sleep mode for a couple hours
I’ll put down some seed capital for that app
Or it’s an app that realizes something is wrong here — sort of like it knows boob shots (or dick pics) are supposed to be sent nude, not semi-covered in a bra or a Speedo — and is giving the sender the opportunity to re-do it properly.
“Oops! It seems you didn’t commit hard enough to the bit. Try taking off your bra so that your friend understands what a funny joke this is.”
My “maybe actually” guess is that Dorothy was in range of her room’s WiFi enough that her phone was trying to automatically connect but not enough to be consistently able to send pictures
Amber made it a TIF file by mistake, and it’s too large of a file to be sent through the message system.
Or a giant RAW (or RIFT) file. But would Amber make any of these rookie mistakes?
If she did it specifically to keep Dorothy from actually sending it, it wasn’t a mistake.
To _stop_ Dorothy from sending it? I thought Amber _wanted_ more shipping-based chaos and social mess.
She uses my carrier, which had some of my incoming Thanksgiving planning texts lost in Network Error land for several days.
Dorothy really needs to stop and take a minute to think about why she’s doing these things because there is literally nothing going on in her head right now with how much she’s avoiding introspection.
Yes, that would be good for her and fun.
I haven’t introspected in years. Wait…. maybe a decade.
Anyway, my brain is broken now. Do not recommend.
Dorothy: I’m sorry, Walky, I’m with Joyce, now.
Walky: Runs away, fingers in ears, screaming.
Walky: *briefly considers threesome with Joyce*
…
*shudders* NOPEItriedsorry
Nothkng to see here~
Can’t wait for this to just be a small bug on Dorothy’s side of things and really she’s sent Joyce the same titty pic like 50 times.
PLEASE I NEED THIS
…Perfect Avatar
amazing
I have seen no better, more appropriate gravatar for that comment.
I think she only pressed “Send” once. It failed for some reason, and she’s struggling with the decision to send or not to resend.
That fist is suggesting to me that she’d better resolve the conflict soon.
Messages not being delivered: Chuckle-worthy today, harrowing in crucial times.
What’s the point anyway of sending it, it’s not like this will be advanced further— Stop tempting us, poll, I know your ways!
go on Dorothy,
send it “ironically”, as you earthlings seem so fond of doing XD >:D
Ironic sapphic graphic
Blitzed the network traffic
Hahahahahahaa
The Sext of Damocles
Come on Dorothy, don’t be so desperate.
Ohhhhh this is even better
Even if Dorothy doesn’t send the photo, she’s stuck considering the concept of it and perhaps even why she wants to
The layers of drama bomb are so close
Becky being also present when Dorothy sends Joyce the pic makes it so much funnier. Her sister, her boyfriend and her childhood friend, who had a crush on her, with her current girlfriend. This is the combination of people you want to be with when you receive your fist “sexy” pic-
Mm. I did not want to see that picture. That picture was not meant for me, that picture was for Joyce. This feels vouyeristic.
I mean, it’s just a bra being worn. We’ve all seen that.
Joke right? We are literally watching all their intimate fictional lives and private conversations like omniscient fourth dimensional beings, so I would think this is a joke, but internet sarcasm is hard to read.
Commitment to the bit?
Wait, does this mean Joyce just got a “lol” back after sending Dorothy her pictures? How will she interpret that, especially around both her sisters?
I appreciate the poll confirming that the majority of us are trash goblins who love messes because what the hell ELSE would we be getting out of this comic.
I think the poll question is somewhat leading. . .
And then her finger slipped!
Looking at the number of hands, ready to complain about an error in continuity.
This is how I find out I missed exactly one strip. At least I checked.
Argh. The teasing. It burns us, precious!
Who else is looking forward to when Dorothy finally figures it out a d we get a reenactment of her talk with Danny. I think he find it very funny.
There must be a Chappel Roan song for this situation
good luck babe?
For someone who claimed to be highly reluctant about taking pics of her boobs, she really wants Joyce to see them.
I think Dorothy should send the photo to Joyce again, she was finally making some progress. It’s weird that it wasn’t sent the first time.
Dotty you send that picture, you send that picture right now! ~<3
Poor Dotty.
Have you tried turning off/on the wi-fi?
damn i feel that @-@
oh my god it’s happening
Of course, the longer she takes to send it, the longer it will be from the one she received from Joyce thus losing the context of why she’s sending it in the first place.
Did Joyce lose the ability to scroll up?
as much as tech literacy among gen Z is apparently declining, i HIGHLY doubt Joyce is at a boomer level XD
it is actually a good photo!
not all lewd pictures are good quality, it’s a skill like any other. i once found an entire blog that genuinely rated dick pics by aesthetic criteria. i can’t find it anymore tho :/
It was very kind, did not at all comment on dick size/shape etc, only was about whether the photo was aesthetic, and criticism was well earned if it was clearly a low effort shot.
Maybe somebody knows?
I haven’t seen it, but that sounds wonderful! I’d be interested in reading it, if you find it. Do you remember if it was on Blogger, Tumblr, or something else like a wordpress site?
i suppose it was probably tumblr?? i don’t understand why i can’t find it. maybe it was too explicit for google to find it again.
Create the art you want to see in this world.
I’m just waiting to see any fellow butch gals enter the scene.
is it normal for texts to go undelivered? i think i’ve only had an error when i accidentally double post but i use an app for some friends versus like direct texting/iphone
And then she somehow sends it to someone diff
This thing with Dorothy really does just keep getting gayer. It’s absolutely on purpose now.
she just needs to resend . . . for the joke and not because i need my OT3 to keep progressing
ah, so no progress on this front.
Honestly, now I just want to see the top part of the pic. I know it’s not like we’re missing much, I just… Idunno I want to see the whole composition. Maybe Dotty’s face is cut off minus a nervous grin?
