      Song as old as rhyme…

      Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who thought of that, too.
      I think it’s partially the demeanor, though. Joyce appears so shy in this picture, and that’s basically how Belle behaved for the first half or so of her stay in the enchanted castle.
      Then again, YMMV.

    I think I’m kind of impressed that she is able to leave Joe speechless. Has anyone been able to do that before? Come even close? Don’t tell me Joe is all talk and no follow-through.

    Also, take a good look at the second, lesser stripe there. Who knows when we’ll ever see it again, if ever. Not sure even a vest over that shirt would be enough to catch up.

    Clearly Joe wasn’t the only one caught off guard by the blinding caution sign that is Joyce’s dress. You’ve all been hypnotized by the cute. I can tell because this strip features Joe and there has not yet been one “with his penis” up to this point, so I will be the brave one and take the bullet. With his penis.

    Am I the only one who does NOT think that Joe suddenly fell in love or grew morals?

    I think that two things just happened: 1) He was, yes, very surprised that Joyce appeared dressed up in something appealing (and shoulderless!), and 2) he realized he was suddenly grossly *underdressed*. And the problem isn’t impressing Joyce, who clearly doesn’t care; it’s everyone else. Next to Joyce, Joe now looks like boorish schlub, to everyone else. (Including the ladies.)

    In recent comics he made a point that his ‘guns’ were all the outfit he needed. He was just proven wrong.

    Am I the *only* one who remembered the dress from the original storyline? I recognized it immediately.

    Admittedly, she’s barefoot in the original picture, but now I feel really really old.

    Anyhow, like the cartoonist said, check out deviantart. Lots and lots of PSL-inducing imagery of many of these characters in the other universe.

    Especially check out Animal’s commission of Sal swimming.

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
