    Huh, I didn’t think Joyce would be this calm. I was guessing horror or excitement, not something resembling slightly conceited mockery.

    PS.
    Did Becky drain Joyce’s blood in her sleep or something, cause those two are shame vampires, luring in potential partners only to feed on their discomfort – and their hunger knows no bounds! Run Joe, Run!

      given how ‘boy crazy’ she was at the start, reacting this way to knowing someone likes her would be better than her being over the top flustered/uptight and having hangups over it even if it was from a ‘horndog’ like Joe (tho he’s saying he likes her as opposed to just wanting to sleep wtith her)

    I love that Joyce isn’t brushing this off. Even the the last panel smugness has the feel of the gentle sometimes even a little flirtatious ribbing you get in old couples or very close friends. Kudos Joe for opening up (maybe an art class wasn’t the best place though they could be in the back of the room) and kudos to Joyce for not kicking Joe while his guard is down.

      I think she’s delighted that he’s opening up. I definitely agree the last panel is flirtation and being done gently, rather than to be cruel.

      Agreed, but now that you mention it, I think she and Joe might be able to support one another through that – they’re both growing past their original “personal brands.” Joyce is gung-ho about it now, while I think Joe is still afraid that he’ll hurt someone if he’s too genuine. But he’s still trying, and they ARE both growing as people and conscious of that, which is rare. If Joyce’s friends do the whole “you’re little miss wait-until-marriage and you’re dating THE BIGGEST HORNDOG IN THE DORM???” thing, I could see that leading to some really interesting conversations and personal revelations for everyone involved!

        Honestly I think my worry is a bit more of her friends outright assuming that she’s already having sex with Joe, which wouldn’t be their business anyway, but then Becky kinda throwing a bit of a fit over it.
        Which yeah, drama with Becky since her whole thing recently is ‘don’t tell Joyce I’ve banged’.
        I dunno. I really like this ship and I think they could really help each other grow, but I’m still worried.

    Ooooooh!!

    Joe tried irony, it fell flat to Joyce’s autism and discomfort with objectification!
    Joyce calls him out on it –> Joe sad
    But he’s not done yet!
    He takes the chance!
    Draws the little hearts!
    He swings his words right to the core and
    It’s gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

    Real talk: comments have wondered if Joyce would either get angry or giddy, but it makes sense that she would enjoy turning the tables on someone often known to be overbearing. And if Joe likes it too, then… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Awwwwww….. Joe reminds me of this guy that used to have a crush on me back in Jr High and High School. He would be nice sometimes, and very clearly liked me; and we went on a couple of dates… Except he always had to needle me with some sort of sick sexual innuendo, which turned the then li’l ol’ innocent Christian me right off back then. I might’ve eventually gone out with him for real if he’d approached things like Joe did here.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).
