      Dorothy (not this Dorothy) was definitely the hot chick, and they had to resort to that.

      But, none of these kids have ever heard of Blues Traveller, let alone seen the video, or know why it got them blackballed.

      I was gonna suggest that. I mean, me and my friends used to do that to get into football games in college. Or, more accurately, to get non-student friends/family into student sections free.

      I feel like even without the Blues Traveler video for reference, it’s still a very common/well known tactic for underage drinkers and/or cheapos to employ.

    Both Walky and Joyce got stuck by trying out the sexy arms-crossed shirt-removal. By way of experiment, I just tried it myself, and it definitely requires practice. The way I got stuck on first attempt is similar to the way Joyce got stuck. The crossed arms are really about making the effective length of the arms shorter so that you can just flip the shirt up around your head. If you try uncrossing the arms, you won’t make it that far.

      I continue to be baffled by the notion that this is the “sexy” way to take off a shirt, because I seriously did not know there was another way until Walky informed us of that.

      (Okay, yes, there’s bending over, rucking it up in back, and then putting your arms up over (down under?) your head and wriggling, but that only really works with my mail hauberk.)

      ((In fact, the sexy way to get your shirt off is the way Joyce seems about to use, which is to have someone else take it off you.))

          April 4, 2024 at 12:47 am | #

          I had never even considered it, because it seems like an unreasonably obtuse way to go about it, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone do it. I tried it after the last comments discussion about this brought it up, and ended up a) pulling my hair, and b) getting it hung up on my shoulders, which are stupidly wide.

          The “sexy” method, on the other hand, is just grab hem, arms go up, shirt is off. No contortions and having to clear my hair out of the way to get hold of the back of the collar, no hanging up on my shoulders. (And, bonus, it’s sexy, apparently.) I am confused as to how Joyce and Walky are managing to mess it up. I’ve been doing it without any issue since I was a very small child.

          This does, however, raise the question: Who exactly is Joyce taking off her shirt sexy-like for?

          there is also {sfx: disrobing noises} hands under front of shirt on their own sides / pull up sides / left hand over, inside shirt, into right sleeve / right elbow into right sleeve (optional/short sleeve: left hand sticking out of right sleeve) / both hands pull shirt over head (taking care for glasses) / left sleeve off left arm

          shorter version: don’t try to take both arms out of sleeves at same time, you FOOLS {/sfx = Galasso}

            Oh, yeah, I have used the “pull one arm inside and out the bottom, then repeat with the other arm, then lift collar over head” method, though not in a while because I’m too bulky these days for there to be room inside the shirt. Last time I recall using it was to get a hoodie (much baggier than my usual T-shirts) off while I was driving, because it let me keep a hand on the wheel at all times, and my eyes on the road except for the brief moment when I was actually pulling it off my head. And I could do it while in a car with a low roof and a seatbelt across my chest.

      Honestly, it’s partly a gender thing. As someone AFAB, that was just… how you remove a shirt. It was actually something I tried to change in myself when I realized I wasn’t a girl, but at a point I was like… who cares. (And it still can happen that one gets stuck, especially depending on the time of shirt, but even then it’s usually easy enough to navigate.)

    A drunken Dorothy is going to impulsively kiss Joyce and it is going to launch Joe/Joyce, Walky/Lucy, Dina/Becky, and/or Dorothy/Whoever into complete disarray. The Chaos Scenario I’ve been foretelling for years is coming to pass. I know I’ve been wrong every previous time I’ve claimed that, but THIS TIME FOR REAL!

          Besides that, they grew up together. Sometimes that can make the brain categorize someone as a pseudo-sibling and veto that kind of relationship with them even if they’d tick all the boxes if they were strangers.

        I mean, arguably it’s an equally low blow for Joyce, too. She’s already had ONE best friend try to kiss her and recontextualize their entire relationship as a result, she really doesn’t need it to happen AGAIN, right after getting her first actual boyfriend since Ethan.
        And yes, that’s true REGARDLESS of whether she’s actually attracted to Dorothy or not.

          Yeah, that’s why I’d hate for it to happen. Either way would be bad, really–if Dorothy suddenly kissed her, for the reasons you outlined. Or if Joyce was okay with it, well, cheating sucks and would especially hit Joe badly.

          (Though tbh, it’d be nice to see what Becky did finally get addressed as something nonconsensual and therefore messed up. Like I get that from Becky’s end, she thought she was seeing green flags, but it was still not okay and I feel like, if it had been a guy friend suddenly kissing Joyce, it would’ve been treated that way.)

              If I may say so, you’re honestly very good at treating character actions proportionally, without a lot of gender bias, so “what if that had been a guy instead of a girl” p much never actually changes anything if imagined in good faith.

    In a lot of comics this would be shameless fanservice, but in this comic? God damn is this downright triumphant. She’s come so far since the days when the mere idea of having any sort of sexual aspect to her being gave her existential terror and the fear of eternal suffering. She’s finally begun to feel a real sense of ownership over her own body.

    You go, Joyce.

    I feel like in my college experience, the simplest way to get alcohol as an underclassman was just to ask an upperclassman and/or go to someone’s dorm room party.

    I respect a slightly convoluted plan being used to launch a more dramatic plot, though. “Beg a junior you vaguely know to pick you up some vodka and Two Buck Chuck” is not as interesting a narrative.

        April 3, 2024 at 9:40 am | #

        I agree that those would probably be their go-to calls.

        Placing private bets with myself right now that Sal would actually be of no help at all, because her particular brand of Hot Girl isn’t something she does on purpose enough to be able to tell anyone else how to replicate it. She just kinda puts on clothes and they become sexy by the transitive property of being on her (she did as much with one of Joyce’s shirts back before the time skip).

        Jennifer, meanwhile… hmmm. I think she’d offer to help with a lot more confidence than Sal, but nothing we’ve seen on-page actually indicates that she’s that much better at being deliberately sexy. (See: her early-comic attempts to appeal to guys. I kinda feel like that Jennifer’s answer to “how do you seduce a guy” would honestly have been “step one: take your top off; there are no more steps”.) (And her makeover attempt at the mall was kind of hit-or-miss: the sundress worked for Joe, but the jacket she picked out to go with it was apparently the wrong size…)

        Mind you, she’s dressing a bit differently these days, and I think she’d at least claim to have a more sophisticated sense of sexiness, but we haven’t actually seen her make any moves on anyone, so it’s hard to say.

        MAYBE WE WILL FIND OUT

            Same difference, really: the dress Jennifer picked out looked good on Joyce, but the jacket she picked out to go with it was the wrong size. (And the boots were definitely Joyce’s favorite part of the outfit, but they were Uggs; not generally regarded as sexy.)

    Today’s lesson at University of Indiana: “Being in trouble” is a fake idea.
    Dorothy might unconsciously want to get arrested (for some victimless crime like public intoxication) because she feels it would end her hopes of ever being president, but then she’ll be shocked to find out that nobody even has to find out you were arrested, if you’re an adult. (And then she’ll want to try something more extreme. . .)

    On the other hand, Joyce is starting with being a mess before having even a drop of alcohol. She will do well. This will end in a good place. Which in this case is, yes, being handcuffed in a cop car. Joe’s not coming along, but it’ll end with him there, sporting a black eye from the bouncer.

    I guess Joyce is going to go braless so she can be a “hot chick”. Instead of stuffing her bra to look bigger.

    Women like Joyce and Dorothy both seem unable to understand how impossibly hot they are simply being themselves. This checks out compared to reality as well.

JOR-EL was a moron
PANEL 1: A man with spiky white hair and cream robes with a gold superman S on his chest, stands next to a blond woman wearing the same outfit. She holds a swaddled baby with a blue pacifier in it’s mouth. The man holds up a glowing green crystal.
MAN: Dear wife, look! My 18 months of work are done! I designed this one tiny crystal to hold ALL of Krypton’s knowledge!

PANEL 2: The man stands against a white background, still holding the green crystal.
MAN: AND! I designed it to build a “fortress of solitude” out of nothing but ice! AND! I designed it with fully autonomous holograms of us! They can answer any question!

PANEL 3: The man slaps his hand on a metal object next to him, which his wife looks on happily, holding the infant.
MAN: AND! It slots right into this interstellar starship I designed to go to Earth!
WOMAN: And you designed it with three seats, right?

PANEL 4: The man bites his lower lip, eyes wide in regret. His wife yells at him.
WOMAN: …YOU DESIGNED IT WITH THREE SEATS, RIGHT?!?

Harsh, but fair
To teach my kids a lesson about socialism, I gave all my kids a list of chores that I thought they could handle, but set their allowances at the same level. 

Then I had the CIA murder me and install a puppet dad.

I hope Josh Johnson is given The Daily Show and is allowed to rebuild it from scratch in his own image just like Jon Stewart got to do in 99. He has built his own groundbreaking form of topical comedy, and imitating the style of others is something he is great at, but better than.

do you think Mario, Luigi, and the Princesses have, like, existential crises about the baby versions of themselves also just casually being next to them in all the races like I would be having ego death right now, not leaping triumphantly

Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.

Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:
