Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
Hah, Maybe I should fly in on a motorcycle. Nahhh, well my character could have one, though I’m more of the motor scooter type person. Sal is something else though.
I got about three pages into this comic convinced Joyce is gonna have at least one wild lesbian night with someone, and now I’m pretty sure it’s going to be Sal.
Hmmm, lets see
Sarah: Porobably too down to earth
Sal: Might do it jutst to be a reble
Dina: too shy, unless she is shy because she is in the closet
Amber: Maybe, in Shortpacked she is cool with gay people
Dorothy: could come to her in a moment of weakness about Danny and get a bit carried away.
Becky: probably too religious, although they might “experiment”
Billie: Possible, she could get really drunk.
Ruth: she was an alchoholic in Roomies! and might still be since Billie is and thats where she got it from, Although that might not be acting with Integrity and could definatly lead to some Regrets (sorry)
It’s possible Billie could get her super drunk (by accident at first perhaps) and it ends fantastically too well for everyone. I can’t see Joyce having more than one night with another lady. It would make for a few good pages of inner turmoil before she realizes a little bit of experimentation isn’t an automatic gay.
Okay I first started out reading this series, then found shortpacked, and now am caught up on both. Whew! This is freaking awesome comic!!!! Also I find Mike slightly less cool in Dumbing of age…
I guess the reverse of the male saying appears in this comic. Sisters Before Hipsters? Or maybe it’s Ladies Before Tradies? (a bit Australian I admit, but it is still valid.) – Girlies Before Techies?
Given how late Sal is getting into the dorm room at night, and the whole “ride a motorcycle to math class” dynamic going on, I’m wondering where Sal sleeps during the day.
Wasn’t there a link to Penny and Aggie here a short while ago? Now there’s a Joyce ad on the P&A site, but I seem to have lost the link from here to P&A.
There is also Danny/Joe and Joyce/Sal
(I have been shipping Danny and Joes since I started reading Willis’ work, and I have been reading since Roomies! first started.) Please Willis, just one accidental kiss or shower scene and I will love you forever.
What about Joyce/Sal/Dina? Because come on, you can just see Dina is so introverted she’d jump on the “be like Sal!” bandwagon, and become “mini-Sal” for….
OK, kinda wondering about something; why is this section called “The Bechdel Test”? The comic passed on the first page, and continues to do so regularly.
(Funnily enough, it’s the Reverse Bechdel Test that it so far fails, unless you count a two-bubble exchange between Walky and Mike or Joe ordering pizza from Galasso. I don’t think Joe is capable of having an actual conversation that passes.)
Did you model Joyce off of a real-life bible thumper? She may be a main character, but her portrayal is SO dead on that I want to never read another word of her dialog.
Also, I felt I should add that your genius ad one Penny&Aggie is what brought me here. Drawing an ad targeted to a specific page of a webcomic that updates irregularly enough so that your ad will be relevant for a long time?? Brilliant!
I’m pretty certain those footpegs are too far back for a road bike. Sure, it kinda fits for Sal to have a racing bike (re: bike which is designed for actual racing, not street), but that configuration would not be comfortable for anything more than shortish rides (bear in mind that you hold your weight with your legs and feet, preferably with the former taking most of it, for various reasons relating to physics).
Is Mike crushing on Joyce? He’s got a mad look when she mentions Sal… then goes neutral as Sal drives by, and then he’s back to grouchy as Joyce runs off.
Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore.

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."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
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
It's #webcomicday? We have a special day???
Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

Hah, Maybe I should fly in on a motorcycle. Nahhh, well my character could have one, though I’m more of the motor scooter type person. Sal is something else though.
HAS SHE TALKED TO BILLIE YET?!?!?!?!
I’m thinking no. She probably snuck in and out without Billie ever noticing.
i agree.. damnit
I don’t really see the big deal. If I were Billy, I’d just fake her signature.
Oh, hey, check it out. Apparently I am Billie.
epi, so forge her signature
Is it okay if Walky and Mike kiss now?
oh… oh my
i had never thought of that…
more than okay, Much More than Okay!
DO WANT!
DON’T WANT
DO WANT!
Majority rules. ;P
‘Been wanting for ooooooooooooh so long.
Don’t want. It is now a tie…How long it stays a tie reamans to me seen…I am so tired i cang type righ…but tont fee l ike fixing. ugh
LOL! Mike’s actually in shock trying to figure out what the heck just happened.
Umm, his expression doesn’t change one iota from panel to panel.
Actually, Third Panel Mike looks a bit…less angry? Less pissed?
Less…what?
Less Mike-ish.
Mike in emoticon form:
>(
>(
>(
For some rason I really like the shirts that Mike wears, like the brown and yellow one we first saw him in, and now this grey one.
It might be PSL
What’s that?
Perverse Sexual Lust. Old running gag ’round these parts.
Vroom. VROOOOM!
Why does Mike always look so angry? Actually, don’t answer that! He’s much funnier when he doesn’t say anything and yet so discontent!
She’s so cute.
Is it stalkerish to make a plushie of a person you admire and sleep with it?
Well, if this were 2003 or so, you wouldn’t have had to make one, you just woulda had to buy one.
(I wonder if Keenspot still stores the ones they didn’t sell or if they just threw them all away.)
((Regardless, I have one or two Joyce plushies hanging around the house. They are mine.))
Actually I meant if Joyce makes a Sal plushie. I can’t sew for crap.
You should sell some Joyce plushies, I bet they’d make some money.
Perhaps with little voice boxes in them that dress you down for being a sinner, but in a cute way.
Or a Mike plushie that tells you how he fucked your mom for a nickel.
With his penis.
Did you put trousers on them?
I’d buy a Mike
I had one of those. Sadly it was my evil ex who gave it to me, so I no longer have it.
I see kissing, but no running. Are they mutually exclusive?
What do you want to bet that this Joyce doesn’t actually know what “lesbian” means?
She does NOW.
Sure she does! She’s just working on getting caught up for Gender Studies: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/why/
Wait, what Dave? hell yeah when they catch them they should kiss them, slowly…and film it so I can see it again later.
With your penis?
first
I usually delete “first” posts out-right, but… what?
I’m think that means “First to post ‘first’ after there are already 15 other posts”.
yeah for real, what?
You’re about 32 minutes late, buddy.
twenty-seventh
twenty-G and a half
No, I’m pretty sure Joyce has had other homosexual crushes before this, including that brief fling with Billie.
You’ve given me ideas.
Thank you, kind sir.
B.S.!!!! ALWAYS kiss them! Especially if boys are watching!!!
I wanna see which one Mike punches.
Also: SAAALLLLL!!!!!!!
No, the punching is over for now, he’s off the job.
Mike only punches people when he’s allowed to, now?
Don’t tell me what to do, Willis! I’ll go chase and kiss a bunch of girls today!
Wait…
Joyce should kiss Sal just to piss people off.
Actually, you’re more likely to excite the lonely members of the fanbase than anger anyone if that happened.
Judging from the reaction to the referenced P&A strip…it’ll anger people. A lot.
‘Cause evidently four or five years of careful foreshadowing and plot buildup aren’t enough.
David Willis fans are really into Lesbians though.
Some of us are Girly! fans though.
Everything that happens in P&A angers somebody.
Point ceded.
It angers me to see you admit that.
For a certain, non-existent value of angers.
Yeah, she should. It would make me…angry? Is angry what it would take for that? I’d be angry. Veeerrry angry.
I got about three pages into this comic convinced Joyce is gonna have at least one wild lesbian night with someone, and now I’m pretty sure it’s going to be Sal.
Hmmm, lets see
Sarah: Porobably too down to earth
Sal: Might do it jutst to be a reble

Billie: Possible, she could get really drunk.
Ruth: she was an alchoholic in Roomies! and might still be since Billie is and thats where she got it from, Although that might not be acting with Integrity and could definatly lead to some Regrets (sorry)
Dina may well be in the closet. Of course, in her case, that probably is no indicator of her sexuality.
HAHAHAHA That’s so true!
… no mention of the very lesbian Leslie?
Thx, I knew I forgot someone obvious, but just couldn’t think of her.
Probably because she’s a teacher.
It’s possible Billie could get her super drunk (by accident at first perhaps) and it ends fantastically too well for everyone. I can’t see Joyce having more than one night with another lady. It would make for a few good pages of inner turmoil before she realizes a little bit of experimentation isn’t an automatic gay.
Okay I first started out reading this series, then found shortpacked, and now am caught up on both. Whew! This is freaking awesome comic!!!! Also I find Mike slightly less cool in Dumbing of age…
Anywho You’re the best!
Good, now read Roomies! It’s Walky! and Joyce and Walky!. come back when you have compleatly caught up.
I guess the reverse of the male saying appears in this comic. Sisters Before Hipsters? Or maybe it’s Ladies Before Tradies? (a bit Australian I admit, but it is still valid.) – Girlies Before Techies?
Girls before churls.
Sisters before misters.
Chicks before dicks.
If you’re a lesbian: Chicks before clits.
I’m looking forward now to the Sal fan club
SAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL
Given how late Sal is getting into the dorm room at night, and the whole “ride a motorcycle to math class” dynamic going on, I’m wondering where Sal sleeps during the day.
Do not kiss them, that is, until Animal has time to get the video camera.
Th-th-th-that’s Sal, folks!
Man, I know it was a bad first date, but recovering by seeking out the strongest female image she’s seen? Hmmm…
Wasn’t there a link to Penny and Aggie here a short while ago? Now there’s a Joyce ad on the P&A site, but I seem to have lost the link from here to P&A.
I can’t decide if I like Joyce/Joe or Sal/Joyce more.
Decisions, decisions.
Let’s compromise: Joyce/Joe/Sal
THREEWAY!
I knew someone was gonna suggest that, but I don’t care for Joe/Sal – sorry.
There is also Danny/Joe and Joyce/Sal
(I have been shipping Danny and Joes since I started reading Willis’ work, and I have been reading since Roomies! first started.) Please Willis, just one accidental kiss or shower scene and I will love you forever.
Ooooooh.
I’m intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
What about Joyce/Sal/Dina? Because come on, you can just see Dina is so introverted she’d jump on the “be like Sal!” bandwagon, and become “mini-Sal” for….
…one MILLION dollars!

And your comic is superb enough to make me stay
She is modeled off me.
Where did the motorcycle’s gas tank go?
It’s an electric crotch rocket, it’s what all the environmentally aware rebels drive these days.
I swear to god that sidewalk looks like it’s at RPI.
I’m pretty certain those footpegs are too far back for a road bike. Sure, it kinda fits for Sal to have a racing bike (re: bike which is designed for actual racing, not street), but that configuration would not be comfortable for anything more than shortish rides (bear in mind that you hold your weight with your legs and feet, preferably with the former taking most of it, for various reasons relating to physics).
And got Ethan on that comment. How fitting =D.
she needs video games. motorcyle video games
Is Mike crushing on Joyce? He’s got a mad look when she mentions Sal… then goes neutral as Sal drives by, and then he’s back to grouchy as Joyce runs off.
Sooo… she likes the bad girls, but not the bad boys?
Free benefit of doubt with ovaries?
