oh Dorothy it's joever for you

Andrea Andrew

Are they really heterosexual things?

Morgan Byrd

OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK

C.T. Phipps

Dorothy: Are you inviting me for a threesome. Joyce: No! I just want you to watch and block out the Joe bits with one hand.

C

Dorothy: ...*takes a deep breath*...And by 'Show', you mean?

LupinThe8th

"Indigo Girls", "Melissa Etheridge", "TATU"...huh, I wonder how Dorothy picked these.

Proto_Eevee

To be fair that's probably the most heterosexual thing she's done for Joyce in a while

Sajuuk-Khar

THE CYRANO DE BERGERAC PILE DOESNT STOP FROM GETTING TALLER

Jey Siksa

Joyce, this KILLSS THE DOROTHY

IAmDeltaS

SO very heterosexual

Sajuuk-Khar

“Dorothy there is a LOT of Chappell Roan on here.”

Andrea Andrew

Says a lot when something that’s still extremely gay, but the most hetero.

Harold

JOYCE! PHRASING! Unless...

Crunchos cereal

They are still young. It took me a while to learn that communication is the most important sex skill. Not sure I did it even as well as they do it in the comic when I was that young.

Sajuuk-Khar

But it’d be good to have Dorothy there to make sure he doesn’t ruin Joyce forever! And then to shrivel and die from unrequitedness agony

C.T. Phipps

Hell, this might be canon.

Sajuuk-Khar

“Joyce, I only recently realized I am bi, I do not own a strap!!!”

Sajuuk-Khar

I prefer Panel 5: Dorothy seconds before her brain implodes from stress

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

“OK, so first things first: you’re probably going to be naked.” “…” *makes “get on with it” motion with hands*

Corronchilejano

Drink everytime someone thinks they're a 2.

Dan Rabin

The Bloomington Lip-Biting Madrigal Ensemble opens its winter season! Nice whiplashing here: Alone in room? Maybe. Oh, just music-appreciation, dang. But she appreciates my efforts, and wants me to continue as her sex guide—so she doesn't disappoint Joe, dang. The faces in the last panel are very precisely deployed! The morally-correct best-friend non-crushing thing for Dorothy to say would be "Joyce, I've seen the two of you together, and there's not a chance that whatever you and Joe work out won't delight him. In need of my help, you are not." Just then, a pig flies by.

Astariel

What can I say but: Hoo boy.

Sajuuk-Khar

(I am overstating for comedy, I do not think in the event of a threesome that that is what would happen, lmao)

Sajuuk-Khar

If I turn out to have Mad Prophet’d an “educational” threesome between these three goobers I will cackle like some combination of M. Bison and a Wicked Witch

C

...We'd need to get you a modest-sized trophy for that level of prediction accuracy if it happens.

Megh

Just occurred to me Joyce actually said sex instead of hanky-panky. I mean I know it's not the first time, but I feel like she's still tends to lean towards saying hanky-panky instead

Jey Siksa

The responsible thing for Dotty to do is decline... What she will do....

Kelly (they-them)

A playlist She made a playlist She was thinking of me, which shows she cares Sometimes when someone Has a crush you They'll make a playlist But not have a clue (That their actions and desires are not strictly platonic)

Kelly (they-them)

If you've got a PO box, I'd 100% go in on sending you a trophy for that level of calling it

Sajuuk-Khar

If I have called it like that I will *get* a PO Box to receive the trophy

Kelly (they-them)

Either Danny or Amazi-Girl had a butt plug. This implies certain things about what Danny may enjoy during sex so uh. Dorothy might already own a strap

Leon

I figured something like this would happen but not so soon. If there needs to be an event that makes Joyce second think having sex with Joe this day, this is it. I think Joe will be the one who gets cold feet, though. This request is coming after Jennifer's sage advice about how it's normal for best friends to make out, too. Maybe Joyce actually initiates it. It all feels like a thinly veiled pretense at this stage but I don't doubt Joyce's anxiety here.

Maude Reads Things

The playlist could've been a perfectly platonic thing to do but with you we know it is not, Dorothy. And uh, yeah, that last panel. Extremely heterosexual.

T Campbell

Of course. Of course. Of COURSE. I just didn't think. I mean, I knew that Dorothy's uh INTEREST in Joyce was going to come to a head eventually, these things always do, but I didn't realize that Joyce's long-deferred lust for Joe, rather than POSTPONING that development, could turn out to be an ENGINE DRIVING it--I just didn't think--but of course. OF COURSE.

Bronxden

So either Dorothy or Joe, trying to take bets on who's going to break through that gate

wyatt

hee hee hoo hoo category 1 million Dorothy Moment™️

Ria

I'm so glad I reread the whole comic from Becky's lesbian reveal to present day over the past 2 weeks in preparation for this

Ria

Now I am The Queen of Sapphic Context

Rainfall

Every time I think Joyce has said the gayest possible thing to or about Dorothy, Joyce herself is like, "hold my keg stand."

Andrea Andrew

Dorothy: can I sit on your face, with no pants?

Rainfall

Well yes but that's The Boy Role, Joyce is asking for advice (???) on The Girl Role. What *she's* supposed to do, not what he is. He could probably also guide her through that? And also oh god the messiness of her asking Dorothy at all, let alone right now. But there is a (very heterosexual) logic to her request.

Rainfall

I mean Joyce's reaction to Roan would LITERALLY be, "Oh, Jennifer suggested her, too!"

Diego Garcia

OOH an Avenue Q reference in 2025!! Good shit. /gen

C

Dorothy, staring at the Dumbing of Age logo: ...

Shane Wegner

Dorothy still somewhat loathes Joe as some kind of wretched sex fiend, and still hasn't much updated that mental hot take? Also doing so would maybe be cheating on this new, apparently Official thing she's re-kindled with Walky? ...no, no I want to rationalize this. OK, let's see. ::Pulls out whiteboard:: Maybe if she's still, like, involved as a referee of some kind without actually touching, Joe goes for it because he's already been on camera with Roz and doesn't mind an audience, knows it helps ground Joyce. Joyce wants it because it does indeed help ground her and feel like she has a guide and a friend there and maybe latent sapphic feelings. Dorothy goes with it because she was specifically asked, likes helping and teaching Joyce (per the Washing Machine Incident), might be something of a voyeur, plus for all we know maybe is higher than a Kinsey zero and would enjoy seeing Joyce nude and in the throes of pleasure. Also maybe it doesn't count as much cheating on Walky because...it's just like, _watching_ if she doesn't touch anyone? Not even that different than watching the Joe-Roz vid... ...Good heavens, maybe that does add up to the Prophecy of Legend.

Ed Marshall

Well I'm sure this will be fine

Crunchos cereal

Now I'm listening to Lambrini Girls. They have a song called 'No Homo' which kind of fits this storyline.

Sajuuk-Khar

Jedi Dorothy in Presidential Suit: No, Dorothy! Don’t give in to lust or strange concepts! That leads to— Sith Dorothy in Whole-Ass Palpatine Robe: DEW IT

Sajuuk-Khar

Dorothy’s playlist is less a Playlist and more of a Mixtape

Simon Magid

It is an honour to meet your Majesty. :)

5099 5618 v2.0

Well, if this doesn't end up on Slipshine....

Bagge

Things are very heterosexual around here, I'm sure

Harold

As fun as it is to speculate/joke/both about a potential J/D/J threesome, let's keep in mind what a HUGE leap that would be for Joyce. Until a week ago last Wednesday, she had never even had a ONE-some before (yes, that's how little time has passed within the comic). Although, Ruth did essentially predict that once Joyce got in touch with her sexuality the floodgates would open, so we shall see.

Albi

I'm the GIF of the woman picking up her purse, rolling her eyes, and leaving. WHY do I feel this way? I DON'T KNOW. But I have HAD IT. ... But I can't look away.

lindsey

Pleaasseee Dorothy have some boundaries and say no lol.

Andrea Andrew

It was never if, but when. Possibly soon.

Donny K

The change in tech since the 90s has not helped you Dorothy, it was much more visibly gay when we'd make each other mixtapes.

Kyle

You would have had an excuse, two days or twenty years ago, but now you know you're bi and Erika Moen's life work is publicly available, Dorothy. Just because the author contextualized the emotional stakes of the scene immediately prior to the moment of temptation, well before you have a chance to sort yourself out, don't--oh, drat, here we go again. Also, wow, I'd love to see panel three without the text balloon or cropping on the sides. That's an incredible Dorothy face. Putting it dead smack in the center of the strip is genius.

Sajuuk-Khar

Boo! Boo to this sound argument and sensible notions! ;P (j/k)

Dan Rabin

Ethan and Danny decided not to do a sexual relationship, despite orientation-compatibility known to both of them, mutual attraction, and established companionship. They were considering Amber.

Mariah

yeah I feel like she would be crossing a line here I felt that way about the dryer situation but I understand she rationalized it as "helping her fellow straight friend" this is a situation where she knows that doing this would be wrong and honestly taking advantage of joyce trust in her.

Rainfall

h a h a h a , the comments on this strip on the main site tomorrow are going to be unbearable.

Rainfall

GREAT WORK, THOUGH, WILLIS, THIS IS AN AMAZING STRIP, the comment section tomorrow will not be your fault. :')

Sajuuk-Khar

They dumbed differently. That’s not the Dorothy way.

Rainfall

believe it or not there's only so much you can single-handedly do about the potent intersection of misogyny and now queerphobia that Dorothy attracts :(

Alexandra Falk

My god. It really all is converging.

Harold

“She dumbed… poorly.”

Rob McBobson

See, it's comments like this one (the "believe it or not..." one) that makes me so happy that I avoid the comment section on the main site.

Sajuuk-Khar

Ooooh boy it was bad when I pretty much stopped looking there and I cannot imagine it’s not even worse

Rainfall

There are a lot of good conversations to be had, too! But generally not when Dorothy (or Booster) is on-panel. And I just know tomorrow's comments are going to be a sea of "somehow, Joyce making this offer is all Dorothy's fault". And also 100% unwavering confidence that Dorothy is going to take her up on it, with manipulative intent, because obviously Dorothy doesn't care at all about Joyce's or Walky's feelings, only about satisfying her craving for the Joyce Mineral.

Rainfall

I cannot wait to find out exactly what kind of help Joyce is asking for??? How literal is the "show" in "show me what to do"? Is this her taking Jennifer at her word that besties can "bang" at least once? How much is Dorothy's head about to explode? The *best* course of action here is for Dorothy to lay down boundaries in this relationship, which... she's so far definitely failed to do at least three times. (When Joyce asked her to help her come up with a list of not-quite-sex things she and Joe could do together, when Joyce first floated the idea of watching Dorothy and Walky, and for a more innocuous example: the life-drawing class.) Dorothy could also cop to her feelings, and apologize for thinking that the laundry room incident was a normal platonic girls just being girls activity. Second best would probably be for Dorothy to run away from this conversation as fast as her legs can carry her. I'm honestly hoping for these options! Even though I ship them a lot. Because I think Dorothy being honest here or at least running away is very much necessary for any kind of "they get together" thing to actually work out, whether now as a poly arrangement with Joe (which I'm not sure he'd be on board for, but which he might try to force himself to go along with anyway the same way he told her he didn't think he "had a right" to be jealous when she went drinking with Dorothy) and/or Walky (also not sure he'd be on board for that, hard to tell how serious he was about liking the idea of a poly thing with Lucy and Amber)... or later, after they've broken up with their boyfriends. But hey. Gonna be a wild ride either way.

Dan Rabin

Sajuuk-Khar: Yes, but we have a known outcome in the Ethan/Danny case, whereas we have yet to see an outcome for Dorothy/Joyce (if indeed there's a definite outcome to be had). The cases are certainly different, but written by the same author. When we're further into the Dorothy/Joyce saga, we can redo our comparisons.

Mariah

you know sometimes a fandom has one (unsually female character that half the fandom hates sometimes irrationally) I have a sinking feeling thats about to become dorothy.

Mariah

its not that I have anything against criticism of a character but fandom misogyny acts like thats character is a evil mastermind and everything they do is part of some master plan.

VengeanceKnight

I thought Sarah was the one who predicted that?

Rainfall

@Mariah I want to joke that she was already that character, but she does share the honor with Roz, whenever Roz gets screen time. Lucy used to get it, too, but it's chilled out since she and Walky broke up.

Harold

@VengeanceKnight: They both predicted it, in different ways. Ruth said (directly *to* Joyce) that she'd end up banging half the town like a frenzied Tasmanian devil; Sarah and Jacob (talking *about* Joyce) said she'd "suck, like, a billion dicks."

Kyle

Agreed. It's great. I can't wait to find out if she's going to agonize over doing the right thing, or agonize over doing the wrong thing, once it's done.

Leon

Dorothy will probably go along with it to sincerely help until an escalation by Joyce makes her uncomfortable and she leaves via the window.

George Simpson

Bring some sex toys, so I can avoid a repeat of that strap-on scenario.
