              Then again, Joyce is kind of rushing in to this best friend business. Shouldn’t you have to be friends with the person for at least a month then you can call that person your best friend? Then again it could be just me.

                Well, I think she’s working off a one-sided perspective here. Billie’s one of the few people in college that she considers a friend, and as such, she would be about her ‘best’ college friend simply for lack of anyone else to fill the position. That and well, she reeeeeally doesn’t wanna touch that hair clump.

                What Joyce says is: “We’re friends, right?” [no ‘best’ to be seen there] then “Would you say that *so far* I’m your best college friend?” [again, not even saying they’re _good_ friends, just that Joyce is the best Billie has at the moment]

      I can’t honestly say I have a favorite Joyceface. I like them all. I think it’s the crazy blue eyes that make every Joyceface ridiculously cute and humorous at the same time. But I guess maybe not, Joyce have been my favorite Walkyverse (and now Dumbiverse) character since the beginning of It’s Walky! and like 95% of those were black and white. I guess I’m just biased.

    But yeah, Joyce, you don’t ask your best friend to get hair clumps for you. Best friends make you do it yourself. Even if it’s someone else’s, it’s just sitting there. Not like it got in your food or drink or something.

    This is easy to fix. You and Joyce fly to Éire and you both go visit Craggy Island. You leave Joyce on the front step of the parochial house with a note, ring the bell and then run like hell. The best part is she’ll never be able to leave, because no one escapes from that mental hell hole. 😀

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
