          I’m willing to place a bet that Dorothy later asks Walky to dress up as a churchmouse again during their lovemaking, and then pretends it was just a joke.

          Anyone willing to take it? 😛

              Yasssssss, that would be a great couples’ costume for them at Hallowe’en, Walky!Mouse and Cheese!Dorothy

              Joyce prolly wouldn’t dress up for Hallowe’en though, it’s an evil pagan tradition after all. 😛

    LOTS of winking at the pre-DoA fans here, I can’t help but notice. “Mindwipes,” “p. sexual lust,” and oh yeah, “Joyce + Walky.” I’m pretty happy that DoA doesn’t indulge us too often– new universe, clean slate, and this kind of thing is really easy to overdo– but a little change is nice every once in a while.

    I’m pretty sure “turd” is the filthiest language I’ve ever heard Joyce use, though it’s better than even odds she thinks it means some kind of dodo-like creature.

        I’m pretty sure she’s accused Walky of “being a butt” before, but I can’t find the strip on a quick check. I did find this one, where she calls him “the stupidest little piece of poop I have ever met”, though, so it seems Walky just brings out the best in Joyce.

      She didn’t outright state it, but she said “the churchmice are no longer age-appropriate” (or words to that effect) suggesting that she’d had a crush on one (or more) when she was younger and now felt awkward about it because they’re so young.

      I totally missed the meaning behind the sentence the first time and only understood after Dorothy’s reference back to it (“You’re right, the churchmice are cute once age appropriate”).

            Shrugo. I’ve come to think of shipping as finding what gives a couple potential, not locating a absolutely perfect pairing from the get go. Joyce and Walky have potential, here as well as in the other world. Are they in need of more development? Sure. Same was true in Itswalky.

    Ok, all this behavior, particularly considering the past few strips (“Oh God, no!”, “age-appropriate” WTF?) makes it abundantly clear that we’ve not quite seen the bottom of this.

    I’m pretty sure by now that Joyce has been in the cast as well, or maybe she has somehow managed to gain control over the casting examination table (or what you’d be calling the Hymmelese age-appropriate “casting couch” equivalent).

    At least we know that Joyce does not apply the term “weenus” to … things. That would have been awfully suspicious.

    The fact that Joyce said “turd” surprises me. I know the swear ladder migt be different in the USA, but the fact she’d say “turd” and yet is unable to say “butt” or “sex” does seem odd to me.

      In the US, turd’s literal meaning is the same as anywhere else, but it also get used to mean something like dork, geek, or loser.

      And yes, we Americans are weird about anything that exists as a part of or is an action involving the thoracic, abdominal, or inguinal regions. Also, it is a good idea to avoid a certain, arbitrarily chosen, finger.

        Also, it is a good idea to avoid a certain, arbitrarily chosen, finger.

        Now that is the reason that cartoon characters intended for an all-age audience only have four fingers on each hand. I wasn’t aware of that previously. Thank you so much!

      That’s bad. I’ve seen universes leak into each other before, and it never ends well. The Dead Universe leaked into my universe at least twice, and my universe leaked into the Dead Universe twice (once when Kup was fighting a Vampire/Zombie/Female Decepticon, and once when Shockwave used his time machine on the Dead Universe).

      Also, there was that time Kimia was invaded by Evil Autobots from a Mirror Universe, the time Mirage bumped his head and woke up in a galaxy conquered by the Decepticons, the time a group of super-humans from Earth-616 teamed up with the Earth-bound anti-Infiltration team to fight Megatron’s Earth Infiltration Unit, that annoying bounty hunter “freelance peace-keeper” bot, the humanoid in the wooden box, and the time cyborgs from Universal Stream GargEnt 984.08 Alpha attacked Junkion.

        It’s this one, mentioned above by Never Simple. At least in the US, “crap” as a noun is mostly used to mean clutter, or something of low quality, or nonsense, so it’s not really profanity.

        I’m more shocked that Joyce says “Friggin'” in that same strip, which has no other meaning than “the ‘F’ word”. But subcultures are strange what they’ll allow as acceptable synonyms for profanity, even for kids, and that can change over time.

    Wait, wait, wait! They’re just going to pretend the whole thing, with all of those wacky shenanigans, never happened?!? Seriously, just walk through life acting like Walky wasn’t in an embarrassing TV show, that Joyce wasn’t attracted to Walky when he appeared on that TV show, and that Dorothy never saw said TV show at all?!? That’s a lot of repression. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from hanging out with Chromedome, it’s that repressing memories (or even worse, actively deleting them) is only asking for trouble.

    Oh, and Blaster still won’t look at my phone! Brainstorm and Nautica both offered to take a look, but I refused. Brainstorm would probably turn my phone into a hand grenade, while Nautica might turn my contacts list into a singularity or a white hole. (Or whatever it is a Quantum Mechanic does). I’ll go ask Hoist to take a look at my phone.

    The way Walky and Joyce are glaring at each other in panel 3, even before reading the alt-text, the first thing that popped into my head was ‘Walky Performs A Hate-Fuck’.

    I don’t get it. Why does Walky feel so strongly about this? Obviously he’s pissed off that Joyce and Dorothy spotted him in something he’d been making fun of, but he never struck me as that anti-religion.

A lot of stuff going on in this lede
Seventeen days after Roland Beainy, the face of the viral restaurant Trump Burger
and an ardent fan of the president, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of not being in
the country legally, lyad Abuelhawa — who founded the Trump Burger forerunner in 2016; whose wife recently slammed Beainy for taking credit for their idea; who, 20 years ago, was accused of injecting
1,100 Exxon Mobil employees with fake flu vaccines and then, while in jail, snitched on another inmate's murder-for-hire-plot
before pleading guilty in his own case — was also detained by ICE and is being held in untenable conditions, according to his attorney.

Fun thing about reading the DC x Sonic comics is that it’s interspersed with these ads for other DC comics that I have zero context for. Why is Batman shouting “hush” while dealing with a nosebleed? I’ll never know.
An ad for Batman Hush 2 Chapter 3 #160 I think? There are a lot of numbers, I don’t really know what it is, sorry. Batman is in front of the word HUSH repeated in the background, and he’s gripping his head and blood’s coming out from under his mask.
