I just caught up on like a week’s comics because my rss feed is being weird (also I forget it exists), and I was feeling so happy about the awesomeness here until I saw this comment noooo don’t take things away, that’s what Wildbow is for.
I don’t know how often Joe plays games, but I’d still bet on you. If it were me, I would be betting on Joe. Despite 250 hours of me using Link, fighting my amiibos, practicing moves/basics, and studying the weaknesses of every character, I still suck at smash bros.
Honestly Kirby’s aerials are all really good. It’s just his specials that are holding him back. They’re all slow and they don’t deal enough damage to justify it.
Yeah but even his good aerials belie a worse problem. That being he’s much too slow. If he was even a little faster he probably wouldn’t struggle so much. As it is he also just gets hard countered by anyone with a sword. Which is like 1/3 of the cast.
Since he is alone, he’s cooling it down with some “Seasons After Fall”.
If Danny had been there, he’d been playing Bayonetta, or one of the many visual novels that Switch now has, because apparently somebody at Nintendo is a horndog, and decided to open up the gates for those games.
I think they’re trying to summon the ghost of femslash past to make this storyline end with Joyce and Dorothy walking hand-in-hand into the spirit world for a nice vacation together.
It’s not happening tomorrow. At the very least we’ll need a minimum of 3 pages of conversation before they decide to sail the ship. Best case scenario.
She’s a stand user, obviously. Hamon takes a lot of training and martial arts and is linked to Eastern mysticism she would either A. Be forbidden from learning or B. Not believe in. But anyone who has the willpower to sustain it can develop a stand, regardless of their desire to master it.
Are you fucking—oh my GOD Willis if this is a deliberate visual callback—I have no idea if that’s meant to be foreshadowing of Joe shutting Joyce down again “for her own good” or because it’s the same encounter but this time it’s going to go differently. I SUPPOSE WE WON’T REALLY KNOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS WILL WE.
A hearty and very well-earned thank you to all the people who have been frantically smashing their Joe and Joyce magnets face first into each other for literally YEARS now, your perseverance is about to, at the very moment of it finally paying off, be crushed in a brutal and hilarious way by Willis, our cruel and dark master.
Oh my god the close ups. Even if the ship-ship doesn’t sail quite yet, I really want a Joe and Joyce to just hang out more. Like, I will be thrilled beyond belief if they go get pizza and it doesn’t even occur to either of them to call it a date because actual friends.
And then an extended thing of ‘but aren’t you two dating?’ ‘No! We’re just together constantly as friends and he smells good shut up’
This seems much more likely than an actual ship sail. But you know what? I’d fucking take it! The attraction is still there and you can be friends with someone first before you decide to move to dating. Happens all the time! It’s often healthy! And more than anything else, I want Joe and Joyce to be *healthy* when they hook up. That’s the only version of them that has a chance of lasting.
Their expressions are so wholesome. Makes me think this is gonna hurt! Yes, I’ve got the butterflies, but I’m so not ready for this ship to sail and IDK if either of them are either.
I’m betting either it comes up and things get super weird and awkward, or it’s somehow avoided but they actually have a pleasant interaction. And uh….. Kinda hoping for the latter. Do i want this to progress slower than it already has been?? Uh…. Maybe???
I really hope they will have a looooong and friendly chat between good friends that maybe wants to be more than friends, maybe no. They both are feeling really low recently and really need a nice moment of peace. But of course, this could become awkward very easily.
Now kiss? Please. At the rate this strip is plotted, a kiss for Valentine’s Day would be moving fast. They’ll be smashing in Amber’s fanfic much sooner.
I’m predicting some time in the future they go on another date with swapped intentions from their first (Joe: wants to try for a relationship, Joyce: wants to bang, both: have just barely admitted it to themselves and somehow are enacting while their brains try to shut it all down) and then a third date 40 years from now (real time) where they are ready for/interested in both a relationship and banging each other and then cut away to everyone else’s stories until the end of the comic. Rule of threes, third date’s where the magic happens, Lucy confirmed: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/chill/

Joe?
Decent?
*head a splode*
Well, that’s a…switch.
So’s Joe.
He he
YOUR HEAD A SPLODE
Joe, soon:
BACK OFF BABY
Absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong with this interaction and I unreservedly endorse it.
Yet another instance where the avatar matches the message perfectly.
@ Alt Text:
**raises hand**
I’m not.
Same. Alt text doesn’t speak for me.
I’m joining the “more shirtless Joe” club, thanks.
(that being said, it IS more fun if Joyce is the one to remove his shirt)
Damnable artists on the internet alt-texting webcomics is no basis for a system of government.
He’s not my type, but his nudity does not bother me in the slightest.
Likewise. In fact with the current setup, I’m rather expecting to seesome shirtless Joe as a necessity of getting what I really want.
This.
KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS HOLD HANDS KISS KISS KISS SNUGGLE SMOOCH KISS MAKE OUT TOUCH MOUTHS KISS KISS KISS.
Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!
It’s weird to think I’ve been waiting for this possibility for literally almost 20 years.
Lee Greenwood, finally.
My first instinct when seeing “Lee Greenwood” was asking “how the hell does ‘God Bless the USA’ fit here?”
What, no pizza? Joyce needs more education.
She fixes the cable?
Spoilers!
So news from the future here
Speak for yourself Alt Text I wanna see more naked Joe.
Hmm. Feels like this is going to be a pretty important conversation, good or bad.
NOW GET INDECENT
The Willis has giveth. Boy do I not want to see what the Willis is about to taketh away.
Giveth: Joeyce.
Taketh: Dorothy had just come around to trying a relationship with Joyce, thus all the extra attention recently.
Well you could just stop reading the webcomic as of today…
…. you won’t, but you could…
Maybe it’s all just a plot to make me explode with cuteness?
please dont. You can never get the glitter from cuteness explosions out the carpet
it’s true, can attest.
I just caught up on like a week’s comics because my rss feed is being weird (also I forget it exists), and I was feeling so happy about the awesomeness here until I saw this comment
noooo don’t take things away, that’s what Wildbow is for.
Off topic I’m willing to be my bottom dollar that I could probably Fuck Joe up at Smash bros.
This comment was rendered much funnier by the formatting on my browser putting the line break directly after “Joe”.
Oh gosh, yes, fully agreed thakoru.
“With enough Lube, anything’s possible.”
He’s playing switch is in the comic, it counts as on-topic.
I don’t know how often Joe plays games, but I’d still bet on you. If it were me, I would be betting on Joe. Despite 250 hours of me using Link, fighting my amiibos, practicing moves/basics, and studying the weaknesses of every character, I still suck at smash bros.
Haha I’m a kirby main cuz I’m a masochist apparently.
Honestly Kirby’s aerials are all really good. It’s just his specials that are holding him back. They’re all slow and they don’t deal enough damage to justify it.
Yeah but even his good aerials belie a worse problem. That being he’s much too slow. If he was even a little faster he probably wouldn’t struggle so much. As it is he also just gets hard countered by anyone with a sword. Which is like 1/3 of the cast.
i was a jigglypuff main back in the Melee days. I’m definitely a masochist
Will this be the moment the ship sets sail? Can this possibly work with their respective neuroses? I need answers but all I have are questions.
Calling it: Joe’s going to chicken out and not say anything. … possibly literally run away.
Are we talking “break the panel” scamper off?
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/chubby/
If he wasn’t decent though things would be moving so much faster!
Joe you know what you need to do. You can’t risk her being killed by your enemies. Remember your promise to George Stacy!
Almost impressive that ghost cop-dad wasn’t the dumbest thing in those movies.
Joe you stop that, I want to squee over cute stuff, not worry about your self esteem!
IT’S HAPPENING
I predict Joe will shut it down to protect her from his evil Joeness.
I agree. 12 years ago, who would have thought it possible?
It’s all happening…!!!
These two are goddamn adorbs.
But what game was Joe playing? That’s what *really* matters here.
Since he is alone, he’s cooling it down with some “Seasons After Fall”.
If Danny had been there, he’d been playing Bayonetta, or one of the many visual novels that Switch now has, because apparently somebody at Nintendo is a horndog, and decided to open up the gates for those games.
Correction: He’d be playing The First Tree.
Hard to keep track of which fox games are released on which platforms.
We popping the BIGGEST bottles when joeyce happens tomorrow
Ah, trying to jinx it?
I think they’re trying to summon the ghost of femslash past to make this storyline end with Joyce and Dorothy walking hand-in-hand into the spirit world for a nice vacation together.
The only thing that Korra scene needed was a Big Damn Kiss at the end, and I’m still mad we didn’t get it.
yeah.
she-ra delivered, though
Sounds like time for a scene change.
It’s not happening tomorrow. At the very least we’ll need a minimum of 3 pages of conversation before they decide to sail the ship. Best case scenario.
Aw, that’s wholesome as fuck.
Amber later cashes in that debt for Joe and Joyce’s first born son, thus fulfilling her fantasy of having her very own Robin.
Cool. Hopefully neither one screws this up.
BTW taking bets on who gets to a slipshine first: Danny/Sal or Joe/Joyce?
Danny/Sal.
Danny/Sal are literally About To Do It, JoJo has just begun their Bizarre Adventure.
“Joyce…How long have you had this star-shaped birthmark on the back of your shoulder?”
You know what, it’s time to ask the REAL questions: Would Joyce practice Hamon, or have a Stand?
(If she has a Stand, I think 「Faith No More」would be a decently cheesy but badass name.)
She’s a stand user, obviously. Hamon takes a lot of training and martial arts and is linked to Eastern mysticism she would either A. Be forbidden from learning or B. Not believe in. But anyone who has the willpower to sustain it can develop a stand, regardless of their desire to master it.
i really like Joe ‘s color scheme here. purples and teals don’t get to hang out together enough.
I’m doing all I can but I am only one guy!
Wait.
Villain colors!
RUN AWAY JOYCE!
You know what, it’s time to ask the REAL questions: Would Joyce practice Hamon, or have a Stand?
(If she has a Stand, I think 「Faith No More」would be a decently cheesy but badass name.)
God dammit this was in reply to Smallmoon up above. How did it end up here. I am not good with computer. 🫠
I’m just impressed Amber timed that text perfectly
No wonder I didn’t understand it. I thought that was Joyce texting. Didn’t make sense.
Amber kicks ass she hath prevailed
I now want to see Joe in a hooded vest and Joyce in a Hawaiian Tshirt…. for science!
NOW K I S S
Wait no, this is cute as fuck though??? This is good.
JOE: “I… I don’t want to destroy you…”
JOYCE: ” … Destroy me… DESTROY MEEE!!”
*a virtual cookie to the one who finds the original strip
I got you
http://www.itswalky.com/comic/well-never-be-lonely-again/
And is that the same purple shirt he’s wearing there?
Very close to it. And teal underneath. Great catch.
Are you fucking—oh my GOD Willis if this is a deliberate visual callback—I have no idea if that’s meant to be foreshadowing of Joe shutting Joyce down again “for her own good” or because it’s the same encounter but this time it’s going to go differently. I SUPPOSE WE WON’T REALLY KNOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS WILL WE.
The power of Willis to remember all scenes and parts of his comics, to use it as a storyline is awesome/scary/nerdy.
Decent? I’d say he’s *smokin’*!
No, that’s Sal. … and Meredith. … and Asher.
NOW
KISS 
Speak for yourself alt-text, I demand more undressed Joe.
*assumes control of the Hacked Muzak, for once*
This one is for our two adorable kids in the strip and everyone who ships ‘em.
You. I appreciate you.
sis is sissing right
By my math, Amber completely reneged on their agreement by tossing Joe’s anxiety straight into his face.
… I’m not complaining, but it still doesn’t seem like she’s honoring the sibling contract.
Hmm, that may be true…..
Maybe, but at the very least it’s been done with good intentions. Might have bad results, but I wouldn’t give Amber much flak for this.
A hearty and very well-earned thank you to all the people who have been frantically smashing their Joe and Joyce magnets face first into each other for literally YEARS now, your perseverance is about to, at the very moment of it finally paying off, be crushed in a brutal and hilarious way by Willis, our cruel and dark master.
My comment looks like it didn’t go through so just so y’all know, it was a repetition of:
“Please let this go well”
NOW BANG.
Joyce seems… oddly large. Is this just a symbolic representation of how she looms in Joe’s mind? (And also Joe’s pants.)
Perspective, and shadow, and he isn’t that large, the top of her head is above his chin. But… also…
… waitaminute…
Fact 1: Amber wants a relationship in which she destroys the other party.
Fact 2: Amber wants to experience her sexual relationships vicariously through the people around her having relationships.
Fact 3: Joe is afraid of destroying Joyce.
…. yeah, I don’t think Amber’s motives are pure here.
She hates herself but I don’t think she hates other people that much.
Oh my god the close ups. Even if the ship-ship doesn’t sail quite yet, I really want a Joe and Joyce to just hang out more. Like, I will be thrilled beyond belief if they go get pizza and it doesn’t even occur to either of them to call it a date because actual friends.
And then an extended thing of ‘but aren’t you two dating?’ ‘No! We’re just together constantly as friends and he smells good shut up’
I would love this outcome tbh. Slow, actually-kinda-healthy burn, baybee
This seems much more likely than an actual ship sail. But you know what? I’d fucking take it! The attraction is still there and you can be friends with someone first before you decide to move to dating. Happens all the time! It’s often healthy!

‘yes, we’re all happy Joe is wearing clothes’
I’m not.
In some alternate verse, Joe answers the door naked and Joyce, suddenly overcome with desire, just falls into his arms. Cue porno music.
In another alternate verse, he and Squad 48 were all sharing a bedsheet.
That didn’t work out well.
Oh, it’s too cute.
I really hope they will have a looooong and friendly chat between good friends that maybe wants to be more than friends, maybe no. They both are feeling really low recently and really need a nice moment of peace. But of course, this could become awkward very easily.
Oh this strip has so much “A big step forward” energy.
Yeah, they gonna be together, eventually…
THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG. THUMPASPRUNG.
Someone get Joe an IV of orange juice, stat.
I don’t know what the future holds but a wholesome moment is a treasure
The last two panels are framed like a horror movie lmao.
I ship iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt
NOW KISS
This strip has two of my favorite things: Joyce/Joe interaction, and Joe and Amber’s sibling dynamic.
Now kiss? Please. At the rate this strip is plotted, a kiss for Valentine’s Day would be moving fast. They’ll be smashing in Amber’s fanfic much sooner.
Excuse me, but have you seen the sort of relationship strips Willis prefers doing on Valentine’s Day?
I’m just gonna sit down with some popcorn and watch this play out: join me if you wish.
I’d like this to go well, but I know Willis has many ways of making this turn out badly. I don’t want to get my hopes up.
i never thought i’d want this pairing so much !!!
I’m going to blow a fucking gasket. I can’t trust this, I want it so badly but Willis will invariably taketh away.
But regardless I love any moment where they interact so hopefully it’s just nice?!
this one confused me for a while cause I thought Joyce was saying Joe owed her
In my headcanon, Joe’s playing Tunic.
Attention, Joeyce is go! All hands on deck, this is not a drill! Probably!
oh my god this is happening
I’m predicting some time in the future they go on another date with swapped intentions from their first (Joe: wants to try for a relationship, Joyce: wants to bang, both: have just barely admitted it to themselves and somehow are enacting while their brains try to shut it all down) and then a third date 40 years from now (real time) where they are ready for/interested in both a relationship and banging each other and then cut away to everyone else’s stories until the end of the comic.
