They aren’t ours. The Book of Lorgar says that our mutants and Chaos Spawn shall have only one back, as is the will of the mighty Chaos Gods. I would wager they belong to those Emperor’s Children tossers.
Also, why would you call the Ordo Xenos for a mutant problem? Sure, they’re Astartes, but they’ve got better things to do.
Depending on the edition, chaos spawn can be incredibly dangerous. If it’s just a mutant, killing it with fire will do, but if it is a larval form of chaos spawn you’ll need experts.
Me, I’m wondering if this might be the start of a nice relationship between Sarah and Ethan. She might find him tolerable to talk with, and gay guys *can* have friendships with women.
Ethan is probably within a small ring of people Sarah may tolerate, but I’m not sure she will fully like him since she’s in big sister mode protecting Joyce.
I don’t doubt that Joyce will try, out of sincere and honest desire to help, while probably making things 100 times worse for a gay teenager who’s still coming to terms with himself.
I don’t expect DoA character arcs to mirror the ones in the Walkyverse, but I don’t see Joyce getting away without severe existential angst at the difference between the world as she sees it and the world as she’s been told it is.
Considering how constantly irritated Sarah is as well as a compulsion to express the truth no matter what I wonder if she might be a possible love interest for Mike.
I think Joyce demands more patience of Sarah than Mike ever could. If anything Sarah’s already shown us that she has the patience of a saint.
Ethan put it as “Mike doesn’t really have friends so much as he has people he’s willing to stand next to”. I think Sarah could easily find that she doesn’t mind standing next to Mike at all. It goes from there. No patience involved. Patience is for dogs and philanthropes where you make a concerted effort to forge the relationship. That type of behavior just drives away cats and misanthropes anyway.
I see them as a little too alike, personality wise, but not alike enough in interests. After all, we’ve seen no sign that Sarah takes genuine pleasure in other people’s misfortune.
With that said, though, I have no doubt that Willis could make it happen AND make me believe it if he so chose. The man wields his characters as most artists dream of wielding a pen.
Oh, wait … your dad doesn’t happen to be a rather tall Mexican musician who ditched your mom some time shortly after your birth, does he? If so, you may be one of my many half-siblings!
I just hope for Ethan’s sake that Joyce isn’t puritan, while they are all against PREmarital hanky-panky, they are pretty insistant on getting their regular quota of POSTmarital hanky-panky.
Ironically puritans were pretty pro-sex compared to other christian sects. Sexual enjoyment within marriage was pretty much an expectation and a right. A woman could call her husband before the church if he failed to “fulfill his duties”.
jeeze, i know WE know whats ethans up to, but what, aside from the usual, crawled up sarah’s butt. they’ve literally hung out once and all they did was watch cartoons, isn’t she jumping the gun a bit?
Maybe Sarah has seen more than we know for certain. After all, she is right on the money. Can’t assume we see every interaction and overheard bit in a comic strip.
I have a much greater appreciation for that “plague” strip as DoA continues to unfold on its own. There is a lot more wit there than I realized on first reading. I might need to do a reread. Good call – thanks for the reminder link.
I don’t think so. Mutual revulsion can be interpreted as “of each other” – like mutual hatred, as well as ‘mutual’ in the shared belief in general, which is how Sarah is applying it in the last panel.
I have no such revulsion… unless it is used with someone specific in mind. So we would all have had to have a a period where we found it revolting, and had a relationship with someone who did also.
Now… if we are talking about mutual revulsion and include really fat chicks… then yes, I have several relationships with males and females where the very idea is revolting and repulsive!
Though I understand their mutual feelings on the concept, JoeMerl is applying it one-on-one, and that’s not how it was intended. Is the term contextually misleading to the masses? Does anyone else have mutual feelings with Joe about this?
Sounds like a perfectly fine foundation for a relationship if you ask me. I don’t fuck you, you don’t fuck me, everybody’s happy. Not seeing where this becomes problematic.
Honestly neither am I. I think it was Greg giraldo who said ” gays! He’ll gays are amazing. In fact, of it werent for the sex, I could be gay. Everything would work ou so much better” or something to that effect
It becomes problematic because she wants/expects more someday, such as love, marriage and babies. Ethan would only be dating her because he’s scared of being alone, not because he’s capable of ever falling in love with her.
In other words a relationship based on mutual revulsion against fucking becomes problematic the moment one of the parties ceases to be revolted by fucking.
They also both like cartoons and are nice people. … Would you have rather he wormed his way into the relationship because he WANTED to sleep with her? No? Then why are you pissed about this.

Just in time for Pride parades everywhere: The Beard Express leaves the station!
Yep, I can hear the whistle cry: FAAAKKKKEEE, GIIIRRRLFRIIIENDDD! I-DON’T-look-gay, I-DON’T-look-gay, I-DON’T-look-gay, IDON’Tlookgay, IDON’TlookgayIDON’TlookgayIDON’Tlookgay FAAKKKEEE GIIIRRRLFRIIIENDDD!
Today’s comic was mostly just kinda sad, but your comment made me laugh out loud.
you are always full of awesome
That was brilliant. You win todays internet.
you can have my daily internet as well.
Have a few more internets from me, that was excellent
catchy
Premarital fuckin to be percise.
Premarital for one, heterosexual for the other. So she has to generalize a bit.
Who knows, maybe they’re both asexuals in denial.
Clearly Sarah is the only person who’ll be tapping Joyce’s ass
With her fingers I hope.
Why specifically her fingers? .-.
cuz she should, no promises, be lacking the proper tapping tool
Cos tapping someone with your tap-shoes is kinda rude.
And using a keg tap would just be painful … one would imagine …
Tree tapping is something one only does on the third date.

I knew Sarah and Joyce were meant to be!
*goes back through the splash contest entries*
hmmm….
HAHAHAHA! Nice one!
‘Dat sheltered upbringing ass.
Congratulations indeed on scoring yourself a new cute beard.
I gotta ask did you realise that you spelt contratulation instead of congratulations Willis?
I see Willis is as fast on the comic error fixups as always.
GOOD JOB!
Contratulations!
Contratulations (noun)
An expression of joy in the success of signing a beneficial contract.
There are other relationships other porking each other you know.
True enough, besides ‘porking’ aint kosher.
and Banging sound very loud and unromantic
And making pretzels in bed sound odd.
and screwing sounds like you’re ASSembling IKEA style.
and making Ha-Ha is like something the Joker would do.
And making Whoopee sounds like something that involves lots of cheering
Riding the bologna pony sounds downright unhygienic.
It always makes ME think of farting.
I thought that Joker’s favourite trick is to make his ‘pencil’ disappear.
That’s his second favorite trick, tying with the acid flower and the super joy-buzzer.
Try telling that to Harley. She’s been trying to get M. J to “ride his Harely vroom vroom!” With no luck.
And making the beast with two backs sounds like a terrifying science experiment gone horribly wrong
Putting some beef in the taco sounds … well … tasty, actualy. Dang! Now I’m hungry.
Unfortunately he prefers butt-tacos.
so … much … win …
A beast with two backs? More chaos mutants; must be Tuesday, I’ll get the Deathwatch kill-team.
They aren’t ours. The Book of Lorgar says that our mutants and Chaos Spawn shall have only one back, as is the will of the mighty Chaos Gods. I would wager they belong to those Emperor’s Children tossers.
Also, why would you call the Ordo Xenos for a mutant problem? Sure, they’re Astartes, but they’ve got better things to do.

Ethan is probably within a small ring of people Sarah may tolerate, but I’m not sure she will fully like him since she’s in big sister mode protecting Joyce.
When Joyce finds out he’s gay, her mind will break in half.
That or she will try to fix him with her astounding chest puppies.
Joyce can’t fix what’s not broken. Besides Ethan’s seen Amber’s rack, and her boobs are so nice that they’re immune to criticism
You can’t actually fix what’s broken, no.
I don’t doubt that Joyce will try, out of sincere and honest desire to help, while probably making things 100 times worse for a gay teenager who’s still coming to terms with himself.
I don’t expect DoA character arcs to mirror the ones in the Walkyverse, but I don’t see Joyce getting away without severe existential angst at the difference between the world as she sees it and the world as she’s been told it is.
That’s a funny euphemism for Christ.
Considering how constantly irritated Sarah is as well as a compulsion to express the truth no matter what I wonder if she might be a possible love interest for Mike.
Oh gods…
I can’t tell if that would be awesome, or scary as hell.
I think Sarah would not have the patience to deal with Mike. Being equally as Misanthropic does not a relationship make.
I think Joyce demands more patience of Sarah than Mike ever could. If anything Sarah’s already shown us that she has the patience of a saint.
Ethan put it as “Mike doesn’t really have friends so much as he has people he’s willing to stand next to”. I think Sarah could easily find that she doesn’t mind standing next to Mike at all. It goes from there. No patience involved. Patience is for dogs and philanthropes where you make a concerted effort to forge the relationship.

With that said, though, I have no doubt that Willis could make it happen AND make me believe it if he so chose. The man wields his characters as most artists dream of wielding a pen.
I think the drama issue would be the most likely thing to come between them. Sarah hates drama, Mike actively stirs and creates it.
But the Hatefucks would be glorious!
YES! YES!
DOA Mike\Sarah OTP!
If Ethan’s going to try and pass for straight, he needs to start cutting back on the rouge.
Besides, orange isn’t his color. He’s obviously a winter.
“Is there something you want to tell us about yourself?”
Yes, I have very low-self esteem, very socially awkward, have some trust and rage issues.
I believe we may have been separated at birth.
Oh, wait … your dad doesn’t happen to be a rather tall Mexican musician who ditched your mom some time shortly after your birth, does he? If so, you may be one of my many half-siblings!
I’m a handsome bachelor and I like long walks on the be-
oh. you meant something else.
What do you mean? One only has to read Norse mythology to know Thor knows all about fashion and how to look good in a dress.
She has a rather healthy appetite as well.
Man, Sarah really needs her comeuppance!
You mean, she needs to get laid?
nonono that’d be her Cumuppance.
And this is why you are one of the funniest guys/gals in the comments.
I is male. and thank ya kindly
I just hope for Ethan’s sake that Joyce isn’t puritan, while they are all against PREmarital hanky-panky, they are pretty insistant on getting their regular quota of POSTmarital hanky-panky.
If Joyce was a Puritan she may become slightly more unbearable…
Ironically puritans were pretty pro-sex compared to other christian sects. Sexual enjoyment within marriage was pretty much an expectation and a right. A woman could call her husband before the church if he failed to “fulfill his duties”.
Hmmm… If it weren’t for the witch burning racism…
If the Puritan men “performed their duties” better their women wouldn’t have been going out at night to “ride” broomsticks.
Now that would be an interesting church service. Did they exchange sexual techniques as well? Live demonstrations?
In old Catholicism that wasn’t unheard of since impotence was grounds for an annulment and that’s really the only way to prove you’re not impotent.
Performance anxiety, anyone?
From Sarah that’s as close as you’ll get to a “Good job.”
jeeze, i know WE know whats ethans up to, but what, aside from the usual, crawled up sarah’s butt. they’ve literally hung out once and all they did was watch cartoons, isn’t she jumping the gun a bit?
Cartoons are a nerds 3rd base
Sarah probably is jumping the gun and being all overprotective.
HOWEVER. Waaaaay back, there had been some excitement about the prospect of becoming “Mrs. Joyce Siegal,” back in http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/04-the-bechdel-test/chaser/
So she knows that Joyce is crushing on a closet case, which isn’t going to end well. It just doesn’t.
And now Joyce’s face from the first panel of that comic is again haunting my nightmares. Thanks for that!
im just saying they’re not IN a relationship
Yes but Sarah also assumes the worst of people it seems.
Maybe Sarah has seen more than we know for certain. After all, she is right on the money. Can’t assume we see every interaction and overheard bit in a comic strip.
Or she’s just being a bongo. Not like that’d be breaking new ground.
I have a much greater appreciation for that “plague” strip as DoA continues to unfold on its own. There is a lot more wit there than I realized on first reading. I might need to do a reread. Good call – thanks for the reminder link.
I demand a spanking tag, Willis
“But you two hardly know each other…”
There is always this…
damned tags… http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/stock/smiley-fighting0056.gif
“Ethan was a perfect gentleman UNLIKE ME!” WHAP!
“Revulsion FOR,” just in case anyone cares. I think I see someone in the back… no, they’re just yawning and stretching.
Well, she is a lady.
dOuBLE StNaDraD1!!111!!111111!!!1
In my dialect, it’s “revulsion of.”
Would ‘revulsion towards’ be universally acceptable?
My preference is ‘revulsion for’, though.
If that last panel isn’t already a Halmark card, I’m going to be rich.
Yay buttslap
More like a buttbackhand.
We’ve all been in that kind of a relationship, haven’t we?
I don’t think so. Mutual revulsion can be interpreted as “of each other” – like mutual hatred, as well as ‘mutual’ in the shared belief in general, which is how Sarah is applying it in the last panel.
I have no such revulsion… unless it is used with someone specific in mind. So we would all have had to have a a period where we found it revolting, and had a relationship with someone who did also.
Now… if we are talking about mutual revulsion and include really fat chicks… then yes, I have several relationships with males and females where the very idea is revolting and repulsive!
Though I understand their mutual feelings on the concept, JoeMerl is applying it one-on-one, and that’s not how it was intended. Is the term contextually misleading to the masses? Does anyone else have mutual feelings with Joe about this?
Do we care?
Oh the humanity!
I have no idea what either of you are talking about.
Sounds like a perfectly fine foundation for a relationship if you ask me. I don’t fuck you, you don’t fuck me, everybody’s happy. Not seeing where this becomes problematic.
Honestly neither am I. I think it was Greg giraldo who said ” gays! He’ll gays are amazing. In fact, of it werent for the sex, I could be gay. Everything would work ou so much better” or something to that effect
I actually find it kind of funny. It’s like the age old question “Can two people who want to fuck eachother just be friends?” but in reverse.
It becomes problematic because she wants/expects more someday, such as love, marriage and babies. Ethan would only be dating her because he’s scared of being alone, not because he’s capable of ever falling in love with her.
In other words a relationship based on mutual revulsion against fucking becomes problematic the moment one of the parties ceases to be revolted by fucking.
Are they dating? I thought they were just friends. …
Many relationships are built upon those same principles!
And then promptly destroyed by the caustic force of nature that is Mike’s acid wit.
Is this the Michelle Bachmann story?
And the winner of the Internet is….porpoiseboy!
I wouldn’t call this a relationship yet, just friendship. Which I guess is a relationship but you know what I mean.
To Joyce this is a relationship, I suspect. “Boy friend” probably looks like a typo to her.
I think Joyce is really eager to take this beyond friendship but doesn’t necessarily feel that such has already happened.
Are Ethan’s parents coming around in a few day or something?
Is Ethan capable of that kind of intrigue?
This relationship will collapse promptly after the wedding when Joyce wants children.
It’s beard time now… Hopefully not though, Joyce will be broken.
Somehow, Ethan’s poker face is what annoys me the most.
It would probably take a lot of booze and a couple viewings of Magic Mike to get Ethan ready to poker face
At first, I was like, ‘woo, Joyce spank!’
But then I realized it was just so Willis didn’t have to have it in full bent over profile for us, and I was sad. *laugh*
Gordon Mc Alpin draws good bent over figures…. you know for art
We all know Mike will end with Joyce’s fantasies sooner or later.
Joyce spanking so cute *–*
Wait, look at Sarah’s thumb. She didn’t slap Joyce’s bottom. She backhanded Joyce in the rear.
Just a matter of direction.
That “Am I all right?” broke my heart though.
Sarah speaks only the truth!
They also both like cartoons and are nice people. … Would you have rather he wormed his way into the relationship because he WANTED to sleep with her? No? Then why are you pissed about this.
