    God, if I have nothing in this world. At least I have Joe/Dina friendship to get me through

    1. Gigafreak

      I forget, have they ever bonded over both having the same bone shirt?

      1. Leadsynth

        I thought that was just people in the comments bonding over them having the same bone shirt.

    I think Joe is becoming my favorite character

    1. Al

      Based on context cues from comments I believe I started reading after Joe’s “shitty person” era because I have a hard time finding reason to dislike him

  3. NGPZ

    for reals, last panel Dina is a MOOD
    @~@ TT~TT

  4. Adept

    Looks like I finally have to set up a proper avatar here.

  5. Axel

    this is very cute. I hope he also helps her clean up (would probably be a brotherly thing to do for Amber too, since he seems to care at least a bit about that sort of thing)

  6. IntangibleMatter

    Shoutout to Joe, the guy who everyone really needs right now, honestly.

    Even if he can’t fix things for himself he care and he’ll fix them for everyone else. We need more Joes.

  7. Ray Radlein

    A genuine “I can’t fix everything, but I can fix this” moment for Joe

    did the upload time change?

    1. NGPZ

      Nah, just taking a while for the site’s new bearings to settle in

  9. jeffepp

    Hmm… Joyce has shown some jealousy in past Joe-Dina interactions. This could lead to drama.

  10. Risky

    She could go there, move it, and be back down the hall before you even knew she was gone.

  11. jeffepp

    No. If you look at the Bluesky feed, there was an issue with old site vs. new site. Apparently, links were leading to the old one, which isn’t anymore.

    Edit (yes, edit!): This was suppose to be a reply to a question

  12. Acher4

    “You’re never alone” is just so perfect, being said to Dina by Joe.

    *hugs for both*

  13. Furie

    I love this. Wholesome pairings are what we need right now. Well done eleven months ago Willis, who may be a witch.

  14. Kyulen

    I’m glad that Joe and Dina have become good friends. I hope we see lots more strips of them in the future. Also, glad this site is back up.

    So, is it always safe to assume the alt-text is about some Transformers?

    1. NGPZ

      in this case it is, yes

  16. NGPZ

    poor Dina, she just having the worst day of her life rn and has nowhere to feel safe
    I wish so bad i could be there to comfort her…

    🥺😖😖😖😭😭😭😭

  17. foducool

    to all the paranoid fellows out there, you are not alone

  18. Needfuldoer

    I can relate to both of them here. Joe throwing himself at helping someone else with their problems to get a break from dealing with his own problems, and Dina’s last line specifically.

  19. mads_in_zero

    Danny’s “there goes Danny, what a good egg” energies have really rubbed off on Joe, huh… I love his attitude here, one of the best things I learned from my dad is that when things suck, you should fix what you can, no matter how small.

  20. YourCousinJay

    Man, Joe’s such a sweetheart nowadays. Like genuinely could you imagine the Joe who first came here to do this randomly help a buddy out just because it’s the right thing to do. No strings attached, just to let them know they’re not alone.

    Also feel like he may be projecting a tiny amount with that last line. Telling Dina some stuff he himself definitely needs to hear from someone.

  21. Rimwalker55

    That’s what this world needs more than anything is people willing to step up.

    “Not Alone” from Final Fantasy IX starts playing in my head.
