      I’d wager it’s because she’s being left alone. I mean…who does Joyce really have? Billie’s got Ruth and Walky, Sarah is unpresent for right now, Dina seems to just blend in the background, Sal’s off with Jason “studying” and Walky’s being molded into proper boyfriend material.

      So Joyce just has Joyce.

      Least that’s my two cents.

    Joyce is. . . Joyce needs to talk to someone. She’s definitely not in a good place right now:
    Her best friend is going out with someone she hates.
    She was raised in a protective environment, and then, within a few weeks of entering college, and is almost raped by her protective but anti social roommate, who is dealing with problems of her own.
    And she’s dating a guy who is gay, and while he hasn’t SAID they were in a relationship, has led her to believe it (through no malice, however).
    . . . She needs a chat with Mike. Mike seems to be using his jerkness for good in this universe.

      “and is almost raped by her protective but anti social roommate”

      I’m going to assume you meant ‘was almost raped but was saved by her protective…’ because otherwise you just said Sarah almost raped Joyce which is a very different recollection of events than I have.

    It just struck me. Last episode, Joe said that he owns six or seven shoes. This one, whatshername said that he’s had sex with at least one per pair.

    Logically, assuming it’s not a lot more due to the word ‘least’, then this means that Joe actually fails a lot at the whole doing the nasty with a number of people. Or prefers quality over quantity.

    Dorothy is perpetuating the fallacy that manliness and banging a lot of people are connected. You can be manly while still choosing not to sleep around (or wanting to and failing). Or, like me, you can sleep with twice as many people as Joe and still be not-especially-manly.

    On the on hand, Walky really does seem like a man-child that would be more at home in kindergarden than university. On the other hand, I agree with what Scott Adams wrote in the Dilbert Principle, which was more or less that engineer/nerd type people don’t really care what their clothes look like as long as the minimum requirement of no naughty bits hanging out is met. As long as Walky has enough sense to dress up a little at, say, weddings, funerals, and job interviews, he’s got every right to dress casually around campus.

Panel 2
Jules attempts to sew a dress in the Pansexual colors.
J: I am not a disaster bisexual. I'm Pansexual.
B: What's the difference? 
J: Getting horny for way more options.
Panel 3
Blackbird flutters agitatedly at Jules, who struggles with the sewing machine. 
B: Jules you're running out of time! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time!
B: We gotta go! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time! 
B: We gotta go! We're gonna miss the march! 
J: It's fine it's fine it's fine it's--
