first read demoncat as democracy @_@ But seriously demon-cat is actually pretty reliable cause if you dont rely on him he shoots fireballs at you 100 balls a minute
I’m not quite sure what’s going on in that last panel. I’m guessing from the look on Joyce’s face she cut her tongue on the scotch tape dispenser’s tape-cutter thing.
Or maybe, given where Sarah seems to be looking, Joyce’s realized her thong’s showing and it’s become obvious what “best-socialized” really means. Curveball!
Hey I know a couple of guys who were homeschooled, and they’re a lot more socialized than I am… maybe public school is what made me anti-social in the first place
I was homeschooled through the 6th grade and then went to public school, Amelia (Cinci OH) for Middle and Anderson High (Cinci OH) for the rest. I was pretty well socialized at the beginning, but mostly for church and then was better socialized by my Sophomore year. Loved homeschool, but High School was pretty cool. High School never changed my views though. Both College and H.S. have only strengthened my faith.
I’d buy that. I was abnormally short all eight years of grade school (catholic grade school, not being held back), so I wasn’t just a social outcast, I was a friggin’ pariah. I was made fun of by first graders while I was in eight grade! By the time I got out I wasn’t just socially inept, I was quite literally paranoid about anything non-hostile said to me by anyone not immediately within my small circle of friends and non-enemies. Which at that point basically consisted of just non-hostiles.
It did seem kind of implied, but maybe she was toying with the idea as she hit her teens.
This may not be the case for many parents who homeschool their kids for moral purposes, but a lot of homeschool parents offer their children the option to attend public school once they get older.
I knew a few kids who homeschooled up til the end of 8th grade, then went to high school with the rest of us, and one girl who went to school until halfway through high school, and decided she wanted to be homeschooled instead. I guess the halls were just filled with too much sin.
I find it strange how this Joyce is more sable (Is that a word) and saner then Joyce Prime yet is still the same Joyce. As lets face it Joyce Prime at this point in her life would have freaked out over the word “Stoner.”
Oh I like it. I see this Joyce still obsessing over wanting a Husband and still choosing her “perfect man” but maybe being a bit more effective then Joyce Prime was.
I can relate to the anti social thing in High School. Besides taking music, having a girlfriend throughout highschool and doing some extra school stuff highschool was not really a good experience for me overall. Had to not tell many people that I watch anime, talk to people online about martial art stuff, Some of the people there lack any common scence, walking around with Tickle me elmo dolls, Buzz lightyear dolls, pacificers ((My favorite fad most of all like WTF were they thinking most of the fads in the 90’s were jsut stupid)) the really popular crowd, ((Which I land up saving a couple of them from a pounding at some other place cause they thought they were better than anyone else)) The jocks that though they can take anyone on which realyl they couldn’t . The fact is that they poke fun at me for having other commuments in life and playing The Bagpipes and wearing a kilt. Now what I did back in Highschool is “The Thing” which really which really eurks me most of all.
Expect for the whole reglion thing Joyce sounds like a good woman that I would date and marry eventually.
pacifiers- Pacifiers as a bizarre fashion trend came out of Rave culture, where they were functional. Taking MDMA makes most people grind their teeth and pacifiers prevent jaw damage and cracked teeth.
High School is just evil… My entire three years in a public high school, I think I spent 90% trying to plug my ears as the moronic girls in my Latin class talked entierly too loudly about their sex lives, getting told to take my sun glasses off by the exact same people everyday (I’m blind in one eye and all I see in fog in normal to bright light conditions and thus had a legitment reason to wear them, and a doctors note…) or telling people no I didn’t want to buy their extra pot… Well that and telling the annoying girl in my programing class that I would not take her to prom as I already had a date…
To be honest, I’d have wanted to punch someone wearing a kilt at highschool. Only Scots should be allowed to wear a kilt. And then, only at a wedding. And then, only if I’m not invited.
I’m also with Tekkactus. Rarely have I ever seen a group of high school kids, loitering on a street corner, intimidating other folk with their aggressive bagpipe playing.
I’m kinda tired of the bad rep homeschoolers get. I was homeschooled all my life until college, and I did great when I got there. I have a steady girlfriend, a large group of amazing friends, and never had a problem socially.
Yeah, and the other thing I noticed is that Becky’s parents are making her go to Anderson, rather than singular. Wonder when her mom died (or maybe it’s just a continuity error)

Apparently Joyce’s tongue is large and green, and has a hole in the middle.
Dude – scotch tape dispenser.
What would we do without you?
Rely on Demoncat.
first read demoncat as democracy @_@ But seriously demon-cat is actually pretty reliable cause if you dont rely on him he shoots fireballs at you 100 balls a minute
THAT’S A LOT OF BALLS
So, I was the only one who read “demoncrat”?
No.
On my first try I read “democrat” and was a little confused…
Oh, Joyce! You’re such a Hifter.
I read that as “Hitler” at first…
So did I…including back the yesterday when Joyce said it…I can’t stop reading it that way…
I’m not quite sure what’s going on in that last panel. I’m guessing from the look on Joyce’s face she cut her tongue on the scotch tape dispenser’s tape-cutter thing.
Or maybe, given where Sarah seems to be looking, Joyce’s realized her thong’s showing and it’s become obvious what “best-socialized” really means. Curveball!
She’s only *just now* realizing that she IS her entire homeschool group.
I think. Yeah, it appeals to my humor easiest that way so unless Mr. Willis says otherwise, that’s what I’m goin’ with.
You’re not quite right in the head, are you.
That was posted in response to a since deleted comment.
Thirded, because I also read that as Hitler.
…It really sucks to accidentally misclick and not hit reply.
That was to Trae_Dorn.
So I guess actually second. Damn, I need to read better.
Hey I know a couple of guys who were homeschooled, and they’re a lot more socialized than I am… maybe public school is what made me anti-social in the first place
Half of the people I knew in high school were home schooled. Despite being public schooled, I was probably less socialized than most of them.
Well that makes it a little better.
I was homeschooled through the 6th grade and then went to public school, Amelia (Cinci OH) for Middle and Anderson High (Cinci OH) for the rest. I was pretty well socialized at the beginning, but mostly for church and then was better socialized by my Sophomore year. Loved homeschool, but High School was pretty cool.

Which at that point basically consisted of just non-hostiles.
I’m not brilliant on the whole US-school system, but how can Joyce be homeschooled if she went to a high school? Am I misunderstanding something?
Joyce never said she went to high school, just that she was afraid of going to high school.
It did seem kind of implied, but maybe she was toying with the idea as she hit her teens.
This may not be the case for many parents who homeschool their kids for moral purposes, but a lot of homeschool parents offer their children the option to attend public school once they get older.

Joyce is the best socialised. That sentence truly boggles my mind.
If she’s the best socialized, I’d hate to see the rest of them.
Joyce, that’s the wrong side of a tape dispenser to bite down on. I know this from experience.
Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure this is the first mention of Joyce having been home-schooled. Intriguing….
You’re crazy… but I think you’re right anyway.
Joyce was home schooled in Roomies!, too, but it never ever ever ever came up.
convenient
You did mention it briefly once. I recently traversed the archives and Shortpacked.
I find it strange how this Joyce is more sable (Is that a word) and saner then Joyce Prime yet is still the same Joyce. As lets face it Joyce Prime at this point in her life would have freaked out over the word “Stoner.”

Except for the whole religion thing, what do we *know* about this Joyce?
Bagpipes are “the thing” now?

Hey, Buzz Lightyear is awesome. He’s a Transformer, you know.
But he can’t breathe in space!
So she may not be screwed up from a childhood alien abduction, but she’s still very sheltered and naive. This is gonna be interesting. ONWARD!!!
To be honest, I’d have wanted to punch someone wearing a kilt at highschool. Only Scots should be allowed to wear a kilt. And then, only at a wedding. And then, only if I’m not invited.
I’m also with Tekkactus. Rarely have I ever seen a group of high school kids, loitering on a street corner, intimidating other folk with their aggressive bagpipe playing.
I was homeschooled and I’m plenty socialised!
…and if I’m not, it’s not the fault of the homeschooling. *shifty eyes*
I’m kinda tired of the bad rep homeschoolers get. I was homeschooled all my life until college, and I did great when I got there. I have a steady girlfriend, a large group of amazing friends, and never had a problem socially.
Oh my MAGATAMA!! ..What, I was the only one who got that reference?
Anderson University or Hyles-Anderson College?
JOYCE is the best socialized? Really?
lol Joyce makes me cringe… I was like her a long time ago.
oh jeez, that picture in panel 1 kind of hurts now. I think that’s Six Flags in the background, so I know who’s taking the picture.
Yeah, and the other thing I noticed is that Becky’s parents are making her go to Anderson, rather than singular. Wonder when her mom died (or maybe it’s just a continuity error)
Oh that’s not ominous at all.
