            We’re all forgetting that the identity of Roz’s relative in politics has not been definitively revealed. Yet.

            It could be someone else, but whoever heard of a plot-twist in a Willis comic?

            I used the term “MP” because it is more commonly used than “Member of Congress (MC)” and is universally more recognized.

              The US doesn’t call anyone a “Member of Congress” (MC). Instead we tend to call them Representatives. Or maybe congressmen, if it is a mixed group of Sens and Reps. America truly loves to be different.

      I don’t think “boy toy” is a term associated with age. At least not where I’m from. It has more to do with disposability.

        July 20, 2011 at 12:18 am | #

        Never thought of it that way, usually when the media mentions toy boy, it usually means the guy is much younger than the gal.

        This saves me from either viewing Joe as jailbait or Roz as a couger.

          Nah, boytoy is definitely meant more as a disparaging term to devolve the relationship and those involved. Usually the term is used with males who are younger but not always.

      Boy toy can often just mean using the boy for sex. Essentially a human sex toy. Bust it out, use it to get off and discard it. Age, wealthy and stuff don’t need to apply.

              Joe doesn’t seem to be that picky. His criteria is:

                  No they’re not. College freshmen can enter college between the ages of 17 and 18. I myself, my college roommate, my ex-boyfriend and several friends were still 17 when we first entered college, but turned 18 soon after. Joe could fit into this group, until Willis clarifies it.

    I think what really makes me laugh about this is the fact Danny actually THOUGHT this outcome could be avoided. I mean it’s Joe. The only head he is capable of thinking with is the one in his pants and logic never applies down there.

    But what I’d love to see is how Joe’s family reacts to this news. I mean, Joe is still 17 or 18 years old. I can’t imagine most parents being very happy that their barely legal child is essentially amateur porn star. Unless one or both of them is as big of a horn dog as he. Either reaction though I bet could prove comedy gold.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

Check out those stickers. They make him look pretty great, actually. That aircraft carrier mode shines. Tidal Wave is loose and incomplete! So there's only four (4) jets!

confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

This @bransonreese.bsky.social four panel is never completely out of my head.
Four panel comic by Brandon Reese titled Animal Crackers.  In each panel Groucho Marx is speaking.

1 - One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas 
2 - How I worked up the courage to kill a living thing I'll never know.
3 - (silent)
4 - They mourn their dead, as we do.

Gran... IS ALIVE? okay, juliette still has brown hair, so this is probably definitely a flashback i'm just surprised that the comic has remembered her, at all
