        Right. A man’s underwear is sacred, only because if we lost them, we’d have to go out of our way to buy more.

        If Roz realizes this, she and Joe should elope, like now. And if Joe knows where those underwear went and still wants them back, then the universe has already bound them together for eternity.

        Just kidding. I’m wondering where they went, too…

      In this case fast is just a compliment on his abilities. No one’s actually expected to wait after a failed first date. If they had been an item that would be one thing, but he pretty much could have made arrangements with Conquest before leaving the building and retained his class.

      Amazi-girl then picks her up and tosses her off the vicinity like a javelin. Breaks records and then makes some offhand remark about which she would prefer, the torture caves of Professor Manyaxes or joining the track and field team.

        Well this time she has reason. He’s just shown to her that he regarded her so lightly that after the date was done he went and slept with another girl.

          I still defend Joe over Joyce.

          Lets look at this logically and truthfully: Joe was serious about the date. He invited her out, and treated her with shocking respect, (considering it was Joe we are talking about) for a majority of the date. Yes, he wanted to Joe her, but never once did he force her to do anything. And yes, his eyes wandered upon Connie, but that’s hardly a punishable offense.

          However, after he got beaten by Mike and Joyce, which resulted in the date ending on bad terms, Joe was completely at liberty to hook up with Roz. Joyce physically assaulted Joe and the proceeded to disavow any claim on Joe romantically.

          She has no reason or right to get angry at him. I won’t say his actions are very classy. He’s a dog. But technically he did nothing wrong. Unlike Joyce who helped beat him.

            You know how some people would have dealt with a date that… disappointing with alcohol? I imagine hooking up with Roz could well be Joe’s equivalent.

            Personally, I see it as the healthier of the two: seeking out companionship, as opposed to drinking until you forget or simply don’t care.

            So I agree with you, Shift. Joyce was well out of line that night, and made it clear that she had no further interest in him.

            I agree and disagree.
            I agree that she has no right to punch him, but I still think she has every right to be angry with him. When she asked Joe, “Were you ever really seriously about our date?” she was really asking, “Did you really take our date as seriously as I did?”, and I think both you and Joe are undermining how seriously she took the date. He just dates around for a run of one night stands with people who don’t expect to stay exclusive fore more than ten minutes, but she came to college looking for the man she wants to MARRY. That’s why she went so far as to dress up, hire a supervisor, ask him serious questions, and take it slow. Because no matter what she told her friend, she really CARED about this date, and no matter what she told Joe, he probably really hurt her.

            I find it hard to sympathize with Joyce considering how terrible she’s behaved this entire plot.

            Despite what she thinks now, Joe took the date very seriously. When he saw how nice she was dressed, he wanted to change to look nicer for her. He took her to dinner, and didn’t immediately pressure her for sex. He didn’t even proposition her at any point during the date. The closest he came was attempt to start a conversation where they discussed their opposing opinions about sex and lust.

            Joyce spent the entire time speaking dismissively of his faith, trying to meddle in his family life, force-feed him her own faith so as to convert him away from his own, hired Mike to attack him should he show any signs of sexual interest and then proceeded to attack Joe herself.

            If Joyce should be angry at anyone, it should be herself. After all, its HER fault that the date went the way it did. What Joe did after she attacked him and the date ended, is hardly her business. Its fine she has hurt feelings, but if she chooses to act on them, she’s just proving herself to be the bad guy.

            Joe did nothing wrong?

            THE HELL?

            His date brings a chaperone for her own security. Given a choice between accepting this or walking away, he attempts to bribe Mike.

            Joe gets no high ground after that. None.

        Y’know, it never says in the above comic that Roz and Joe slept together *after* the date… Joyce may think she was another conquest (not to be confused with Galasso’s offspring) and that mingled with premarital hanky-panky may have pushed Joyce’s buttons. She does tend to jump to conclusions rather impulsively…

          Eh, on second thought, maybe she should split that fight with Mike.

      Now I can’t stop picturing this Lesbian-man character. He’s like Spiderman, but doesn’t dress in tights, is overweight with the creepiest beard, and all his puns are terribly insensitive to the gay rights movement.

    Joyce’s expression in panel 3: Is “aghast” or “disgust” more prominent? And did anyone have to explain Roz’s interesting headgear choice from last week to Joyce?

      I can’t speak to panel 3 (what, are you a computer programmer?), but panel 4 looks more like “I’ve been possessed by Zuul” to me.

    I can’t help but comment on Joyce’s face in the forth panel because it’s so awesome. Lets see normally blue eyes become fire red now that’s pretty angry, but man just how much rage do you have to have for your frown to actually extend PAST the borders of your face?!?
