    kinda surprised he’s even free to visit, but I guess all the ladies still kinda pissed at him rn

      … is it just me, or is Joe looking particularly chiseled and handsome in that last panel? Like, he’s randomly extremely hot there, far more so than panel 1 where he looks kinda frazzled.

      Is this just me? Am I the only one feeling warm tingles as I look at that last panel? Do I need to do the “I’ll be in my bunk” Firefly joke again? Cause I will.

        His dad’s around, he knows he has to up his game if he wants the ladies to come to him rather than to his father. So he’s taken care to muss his hair just right and get the perfect stubble level and just the right amount of chest hair showing (panel 5)

                From philanderer to womanizer. I suppose that IS a step up. At least the new one is not a complete monster.
                I have to wonder how Blaine acted during the courtship. How many warning signs were overlooked as just quirks and not red flags. That said, we saw him act; both to the church group and when swaying Ross to his cause.

                  We don’t know anything about Amber’s grandparents, could have been a “this is the only boy who’ll marry you” kind of deal? Or, if they weren’t in the picture, “this is the only boy who’s ever paid attention to me, I’d better marry him” deal?

                  From abuser to womanizer. It’s an improvement, but still likely to end badly.

                  Blaine could definitely be charming. Many abusers can.

    Joe and Faz being in the same place seems weird.

      Before I read your comment, I was thinking – What would happen if Faz and Joe were both bi or gay, and got together? It would be really creepy*, but I’d kind of ship it just to keep them both from creeping on anyone else.

      * Creepy due to their personalities – I don’t think they’d be a good fit romantically, and I think they’d both automatically try, and it would get really weird. In addition Faz is way too vulnerable for me to seriously want him in a relationship with an older/more mature person anyone.

        According to the time he came by in the linked visit, he wasn’t even 14 yet so I’m going to have to call this a bad if not awful take.

          Faz’s was later retconned a couple of years older. And I did mention the age difference as a reason not to actually ship Faz with anyone.

            It wasn’t a retcon. That strip can easily be misread, but the intent there was that it would have been legal for Rachel to have sex with him under Indiana’s Romeo and Juliet law, but if Rachel thought that was gross, he’d reach the regular age of consent (16) in two weeks.

            I like to think the Rosenthal family album could be summarized as “Joe through the ages”. You’ve got photos of old timey Grandpa Joe with his new Packard, a portrait of Great-Great-Grandpa Joe with his 1880s sideburns, a decaying daguerreotype of Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandpa Joe with his rifle and Army uniform…

      I actually feel like Joe has been changing a bit already. I think that part of the depth he’s gained in the comic as been due to seeing more sides of him than him changing; but I think that this relationship with Joyce has shown some small steps towards seeing women as more than objects.

    One day Joe will learn that indeed there is a thing as *too* much sex. One day when Joe is withered and unable to move or be rid of the stench that comes with such activity.

    That shall be the day that Joe learns to moderate his sex life and his personal life. But that day is not this day.

        They both know that they’re attracted to each other. This might be the moment where they act on it, instead of staying apart so as not to hurt Amber.

            “Turning her second boyfriend gay too”? Not that that’s really the case, but it could definitely hit at her insecurities.

            She would of course support them, after all they’re obviously better off together than with a monster like her.

            I do think it would be better now than immediately after AG broke up with Danny.

              Honestly I think I would have preferred them getting together sooner than now. I think the ship has kinda cooled a little at least for me. Plus it feels just slightly unfair they’d had wait until one was put in a life or death situation before they felt it was okay, considering how fast Amber moved on to Walky.

            She was still VERY sensitive about the fact Ethan would choose someone else over her back when Ethan was faking being straight with Joyce. If it felt like Danny had been HIDING that he was gay, it could have felt like He’s Not Really Into You 2: Electric Boogaloo and could have theoretically been detrimental for her. She would have probably understood that he was bi if he literally said so with words though.

            Ethan sometimes views Amber as very fragile like she used to be when she was younger and has kind of fallen out of step with the exact types of help Amber actually needs (like, she did not need coddled about this exact thing even if it would have hurt her feelings or made her feel insecure, she doesn’t need shielded like that).

    I feel a disturbance, as if shit might get complicated in the next minute. You got Yuri (Who hates Amber for BS reasons) somewhere there in the hospital balling over Blaine and since Eathan is there Naomi (Who also hates Amber for BS reasons) is going to show up and I feel like atleast one of these two parents if not both of them is going to say something antagonistically shitty towards Amber but I don’t know what. Probably having something to do with Ethan being gay or something stupid like that.

    Which reminds me I don’t know why Danny is such a rush to see Ethan, it’s just going to be one big harsh love triangle of watching his current crush cry over another guy who Danny himself told to fuck off the night before getting put in a coma.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

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
