Shaggy probably wants to date Amber too, she looks like Velma.
Wait, did Shaggy like Velma, or was that just me pairing people off arbitrarily since the poor guy had no chance with Daphne with Fred around?
Also during Mystery Inc. Velma wanted Shaggy to choose between her and his best friend Scooby, and she was a lot more serious about the relation than he was
Assuming Joe is using a negative tone when speaking, apparently it’s wrong to be in jaw-dropping awe of the world at all time. Well, some of us don’t get enough air otherwise.
Believe it or not, obligate mouth breather is actually a medical term. Being forced to breath through your mouth can be caused by craniofacial deformities and other pathologies. I’m not sure if when it caught on as an insult that was the source, but there you go.
I happen to be best friends with a female CS Major who is also a twin (the twin is not a cs major and considering their relationship THANK GOD). But she is actually really sensitive about people saying there are so few girl CS majors. Don’t get me wrong it is a minority in the field as far as I can tell I’m a math major myself. But there are more girls in her classes than her.
I also majored in CS (an equivalent actually, being in a different country and all), and not only there were plenty of girls, we also had a couple of former pageant contestants.
I always liked Aquaman… The old one, not the bitter bearded one (really love the version from “Batman – the Brave and the Bold”). As a kid, he was actually my favorite superhero. Might have something to do with living in a harbour city, but still…
No Batman, huh? Check out the positioning of that “bedsheet” in the last panel. Looks like a cape being blown upwards. Joe IS Batman. Or he’s gonna date the Amazigirl identity.
This is a Willis Arrow, or I’m mad.
Well, okay, I AM mad, but I’m NATURALLY mad… I don’t use any chemicals!
Now that you mention it, it does look kinda like a cape in the last panel. Anyone terribly surprised that whatever type of superhero Joe might be, he’d have a *bed*sheet (or blanket, whatever) as his cape.
Joe’s its the 21st Century. There’s probably just as many girls in Compter Science Classes as there are boys. Hell, some school have it as a requirement for various degrees.
Hate to say it, but I’m pretty sure that’s still nowhere even close to true- a lot more women are in computer science nowadays than 15 years ago, including one of my housemates, but the first relevant result I find with a quick google search shows that Stanford has less than 10% of their graduating CS majors as female.
My school had a few of the female gender. The odd thing was that there were more female math and CS professors than male. Sadly only 1 in 10 women who attempted a CS degree stayed more than 1 year. same for guys, but doesn’t seem as staggering since that means after a year there is 1 female and 30 males…it’s ok tho since after 4 years it is weeded down to 4 or 5 males.
Indeed, while I was there, one of my friend’s dormmates designed the Stanford CS Dept. t-shirt … it had seven icon dudes (like the kind on men’s bathroom’s doors), and one woman icon dude. It was totally accurate, but it did NOT go over well. I kinda liked it though. (But I majored in Japanese).
Nope. I graduated with a CS major a couple years ago from a very large university. In my CS classes, which were usually between 40-70 people, the number of female students ranged from 0 to 4. Interestingly, most of the women were from Asia.
I have decided I am tired of adding “with my penis” to the end of all Joe’s dialogue, so if anyone wants to continue down this dark and sordid path, feel free.
I’ll let you all in on a secret: At both the graduate and undergraduate levels, the life sciences (biochemistry, molecular biology, neuroscience, biophysics, etc.) are probably the highest percentage female of any of the hard sciences in college. Seriously, I went to a college with a 2:1 male:female ratio, and all of my life sciences courses were at least half female. I’m now in grad school, and women are the majority in a number of professors’ labs.
From what I heard, if you want to get laid you have to major in theatre. I don’t know where psychology is when it comes to that, but as long as it’s above biology I won’t regret changing my major from theatre. Why biology? There’s actually a story behind that, but you probably don’t give a crap.
I studied literature and had a 1:10 ratio male / female. i studied german and had a 1:8 male/female. I studied in the state school to teach children and the ratio was 1:20. Neither me nor any of the male audience never get laid because of that ratio. Know why? Because if you’re a guy in these things, you’re more interested into the subject than into getting laid. Half the girl are more interested into the subject than getting laid. The other half just aren’t at right place and would only date anyone with sufficient wealth, as they’ve been told a woman has to – and you don’t get wealth by studying languages nor children’s care. These are women jobs, so why should anyone pay high wages for what is a hobby.
And moreover, all have the social skills to get laid whatever the other study/job is. Even computer.
I am beeing ironic somewhere in this post. Just guess when.
I majored in English, with probably a 1:5 male:female ratio, and the English majors all slept with each other a lot. Now granted, this was a small liberal arts school in a small town, but I didn’t get that impression from most of the other majors. Well, except Women’s studies. They all slept together, but they comprised most of the lesbians at the school, so it was kind of inevitable.
That was more of a fun fact. Obviously picking your major based on if it’ll get you laid isn’t really the best plan.
By the way, I originally majored in theatre because I was an idealist fresh out of high school. I changed majors because the year and a half between the time I started college and when I changed my major made me cynical. Sex had nothing to do with it (for once).
The real secret is to not pick a major based on who you could date, and to not be afraid to date people from other majors.
My wife studied Microbiology with minors in Chemistry and History — I didn’t study any of those subjects in College (where we met). I studied Political Science with a minor in Web Design.
In fact, out of all of the women I dated in college, only one did I meet via my classes. Social interests are much more important than scholastic interests in dating in my experiences.
The first girl I hooked up with at college was my physics TA. So, it’s possible, and not only that – they’re far more likely to want to go see Wolverine VI: Occam’s Adamantine Razor than most girls you might meet at your typical kegger.
Joe, who is likely going to study mechanical engineering or something like that (and there are even less women than in CS), mocks Daniel for his choice… I wonder how that will work out…
He’s not criticizing him for his major, he’s criticizing him for his *target’s* choice of major. Based on that she is not what you would call a low-hanging fruit.
There’s about a 5:1 male:female ratio in my CS classes. It’s an even greater difference in my maths courses… it can be a little scary when all the guys stare at you…
As a female comp sci major, this comic bothers me. Electronically, the genders have been evenly represented for almost a decade. Every ditzy girl goes online thinking that she’s special because she’s a girl ONLINE, and is disappointed to learn that it’s just a myth… A very annoyingly ever-present stereotype that we all need to get over. GIRLS LIKE COMPUTERS. THERE ARE AS MANY GIRL NERDS AS THERE ARE GUY NERDS. GET OVER IT. On the other hand, Willis, I love your work and have for years… that’s kinda why this insults me. Now, back to reading, and possibly eating my words later.
1) It bothered you that the blatantly sexist character assumed there was only one girl?
2) There is a difference between girls being online and interested in CS and actually majoring in CS in college. We have not reached parity when it comes to women getting CS degrees.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.
"You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

Joe’s expressions are full of win.
Yes, but he’s different, he wants a girl who would give up her dreams if they kept her from being with him.
It’s scary when Joe’s romantic advice actually makes sense.
Obviously Danny should try to date Shaggy :p
Shaggy probably wants to date Amber too, she looks like Velma.
Wait, did Shaggy like Velma, or was that just me pairing people off arbitrarily since the poor guy had no chance with Daphne with Fred around?
Velma really likes Shaggy. Shaggy really likes Scooby.
Shaggy’s kind of off.
“Kinda” being the understatement of the year, man.
That’s not fair. Shaggy is an incredibly talented guy. He just doesn’t compare well to the rest of the gang.
Obviously you watch Mystery Inc.
Wasn’t Shaggy shacking up with Daphne for awhile during one of the shows where it was just them, Scooby, and Scrappy?
Also during Mystery Inc. Velma wanted Shaggy to choose between her and his best friend Scooby, and she was a lot more serious about the relation than he was
He’d have to know something about dating to get action in spite of his chauvinism.
Danny is a mouthbreather?
Assuming Joe is using a negative tone when speaking, apparently it’s wrong to be in jaw-dropping awe of the world at all time. Well, some of us don’t get enough air otherwise.
Yeah I really wish the phrase “mouthbreater” would just die. Makes me feel crappy and self-conscious. just ’cause my nose dun’ work…
The fact that it’s always used maliciously doesn’t help.
I don’t know, I’ve always seen a difference between “mouthbreathers” and “people who happen to breathe via their mouths”
Believe it or not, obligate mouth breather is actually a medical term. Being forced to breath through your mouth can be caused by craniofacial deformities and other pathologies. I’m not sure if when it caught on as an insult that was the source, but there you go.
I actually graduated with a couple of identical twin sisters who got their CS degrees… the odds of that blow my mind.
I happen to be best friends with a female CS Major who is also a twin (the twin is not a cs major and considering their relationship THANK GOD). But she is actually really sensitive about people saying there are so few girl CS majors. Don’t get me wrong it is a minority in the field as far as I can tell I’m a math major myself.

I used to major in computer science. There were plenty of girls present ^^;

-airfox
i thought of him as a mouth breather, and now confirmation. the way Joe reacts to intro to comp. sciences is just hilarious.
half of th CS class I’m in right now is women…odd
Why Haven’t I seen Batman in their dorm?
Ethan siphoned off all of their Batman merch in the continuity reboot.
Maybe in this new universe they’re into a different superhero? Like Aquaman or The Elongated Man :p
“I’m Aquaman.”
I dunno, just doesn’t have the right ring to it.
Maybe they’re Marvel fans.
“I’m Moonknight!”
maybe they’re into image
“I’m Spawn!”
OUTRAGEOUS!
“I’m Sodomuffin?”
Nobody is into Aquaman. Nobody. Ever.
… Unless he’s chopping of his own right hand to save his son.
Also, epic mullet.
Aquaman is awesome as a king, but just so terrible as a superhero.
I always liked Aquaman… The old one, not the bitter bearded one (really love the version from “Batman – the Brave and the Bold”). As a kid, he was actually my favorite superhero. Might have something to do with living in a harbour city, but still…
No Batman, huh? Check out the positioning of that “bedsheet” in the last panel. Looks like a cape being blown upwards. Joe IS Batman. Or he’s gonna date the Amazigirl identity.

Unless it’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold Aquaman.
OLD CHUM
That always sounds subtly threatening, given what chum is used for in an aquatic context.
He is quite the fun character.
I’m obviously going to the wrong school for my major. There’s only like, 5 in the entire department here.
Joe’s its the 21st Century. There’s probably just as many girls in Compter Science Classes as there are boys. Hell, some school have it as a requirement for various degrees.
For someone who doesn’t take the class, it’s understandable.

Really, it was supposed to be a game people could play on their own as they read.
with your penis.
Pretty much how anything computer-related works.
Oh hell yeah, Amber avatar.
It is a…Coinkidink as you say no?
I’ll let you all in on a secret: At both the graduate and undergraduate levels, the life sciences (biochemistry, molecular biology, neuroscience, biophysics, etc.) are probably the highest percentage female of any of the hard sciences in college.

On the other hand, I’m not Danny.
Mouthbreather? What the hell kind of insult is that?
I guess I’ve never seen a severe “mouthbreather”, so I don’t see the atrocity.
(Then again, I’ve never been to an anime convention.)
He doesn’t stand a chance. Amber’s dating WoW.
Unless he goes in through WoW. He could be Amber’s internet boyfriend in this continuity.
From what I heard, if you want to get laid you have to major in theatre. I don’t know where psychology is when it comes to that, but as long as it’s above biology I won’t regret changing my major from theatre. Why biology? There’s actually a story behind that, but you probably don’t give a crap.

It’s true. It’s all true.

Joeing, with his penis.

I AM THE 76TH MOUTH-BREATHING COMMENT! HEAR ME AND TREMBLE BEFORE MY AWFUL BREATH!
“Mouth Breathing” is not an insult.
I have a jaw deformity caused by an out of place jawbone that pinches a nerve. I need surgery to correct it, and it hurts to shut my mouth so I breath through my mouth. Because it’s easier.
Why people think this is an insult is beyond me.
I just dropped by to say “nailed it!”
