Split up? After all this? Not on your life.

el

Amazi-Girl is NOT appealing to their newfound Sal-like sense of rebelling against authority (and wanting to do gay makeouts)

JB Robinson

*"Sound of Silence" softly playing in the background intensifies*

TobyTura

Oh I kind of thought we'd get a line from Asma here

Sajuuk-Khar

Joyce and Dorothy have left the Library. Joyce and Dorothy have been saved.

Fart Captor

By "split up" she means "break up with your boyfriends" and by "take the long way home" she means "go at it somewhere in the woods" after you've lost the cops

MrShoggoth

Fifteen more? Oh god. I genuinely don’t know what’s going to happen next

Astariel

Aw, I love them so much. Definitely worried about Amazi-Girl, though.

Crunchos cereal

I’m still afraid of Chekov’s sniper.

Harold

@Astariel: Yes, A-G's exit line seems a bit famous-last-words-ish, doesn't it?

Maude Reads Things

I am once again begging AG to listen to her own advice. "15 more strips" = Willis is about to be a fucking monster

Jim Avery

These two are really not good at following instructions, huh

William Lewis

I don't really remember why I started reading this strip not that long ago, but frame 5 makes this fat old CIS white Bi guy so glad he did. "We can be heroes, just for one day..." Thank you.

Harold

The last 15 strips are just going to be Dorothy and Joyce getting on a bus, sitting in the back, and staring at each other uncertainly

Tim W

... And that was the last time anyone saw Amazi-Girl.

5099 5618 v2.0

Again: those two are doomed for each other.

C

Now them leaving together like that...it hits me right in the feels.

5099 5618 v2.0

I'm afraid to ask, but what does "15 more strips" mean?

Harold

@MrShoggoth: A series of character reactions as videos/photos of The Big Moment go viral, and the fallout begins

Crunchos cereal

So Steve is eating cereal for _fifteen_ strips?

ScrimpArt

"fucking white people man"

TobyTura

[insert "my job here is done" "but you didnt do anything" image but with doyce and asma]

P J Upton

Two more weeks in which things will happen to provide a more definitive ending

5099 5618 v2.0

Also, Amazi-Girl has her own guardian angel, right? ...right?

Astariel

It really does.

Ria

Yea I'm terrified that whoever said that dorothy will be *broken* by A-G's sacrifice a few strips ago is about to have to drink a whole bunch of being tragically correct juice

Harold

@5099 5618: Willis says in the under-strip text, above, that there are 15 more strips in the current storyline.

5099 5618 v2.0

(Nevermind, just saw it. Caught up, now. Suddenly filled with dead, but caught up.)

Megh

I swear if AG gets herself killed... I'll keep reading but I'm gonna be an insufferable curmudgeon about it

Kelly (they-them)

I dropped my jaw the other day when Joyce and Dorothy kissed (I was high on weed) and I dropped my jaw just now reading that there are still 15 more strips to this storyline (I am high on DoJo love)

Mariah

We had fun sickos but Im guessing its relationship paladin time.

Patrick Duke

Saving Mr. Game and Watch. Amazi-Girl does what Ninten-don't.

Megh

Damn that's subtle, good eye

Ria

The *true sicko* accepts every nerve-wracking twist and turn in the narrative 🙂‍↕️

Fart Captor

Gonna alternate between Steve eating cereal and Riley eating cereal until a week in it's revealed they're in the same room for some reason Maybe he's dating Mrs DeSantos, idk

Fart Captor

(the last strip is a montage of Joyce and Dotty fuckin' and AG beatin' up cops)

Megh

If we're obnoxious enough about it the whole comic can be rebranded into The Adventures of Front Desk Lady!

Morgan Byrd

LET’S GO 15 STRIPS AND A SLIPSHIIIIIIIIIINE 🤟🏻🎇🎸🏍️🔥🎆

Andrea Andrew

Getting real Legend of Korra vibes. Or Adventure Time vibes. Or Rwby vibes. Or owl house vibes. Or She-Ra vibes. So many sapphic vibes.

E

Instructions unclea-NO THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY CLEAT

E

…clear

Uniquitous

She did, but he took a header off a great height so now she's flying solo.

Uniquitous

Ruth & Jason get some pizza at Galasso's

C

DoJo's Bizarre Adventure is my favorite manga.

Mariah

The fact that you have seen all those shows explains so much about you lol big same all great shows personally getting harley quinn season 3 vibes it had a similar situation with similar discourse.

darklion

End of comic

Mariah

I havent had slipshine in years and willis is about to drag me back

Packy Anderson

It can't be the end of the chapter! It's not nighttime!

Dan Rabin

This is why I give a lot of attention to the art: Willis uses it as one of his storytelling channels. Comics are a subtle medium!

Albi

NO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Shane Wegner

Narrator: “And then the bill did not come due and nothing bad happened ever again. The end.”

Grace Serenity

You can just say gay. Cause they're being REAL gay right now (:

Grace Serenity

I mean, Willis has a spicy Patreon. Slipshine is not the only game in town anymore. Also, they own the rights to anything published, not Willis.

Shane Wegner

Also: “We should continue to disregard the good advice of the only person keeping us out of jail, which could easily jeopardize our entire futures, because we are special and bad things can’t happen to us.”

Megh

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Grace Serenity

I'd anyone is gonna survive police brutality, it's gonna be AG

5099 5618 v2.0

Are you sure? I thought Christmas was normally at the end of December

Grace Serenity

We all knew this ship was headed for stormy seas! The HMS Joyrothy will weather the storm!

5099 5618 v2.0

If either one of them can use The World, this would be a good time to do so.

Grace Serenity

I don't think both their faces will fit on the infobot screen at the same time, though

Grace Serenity

15 strips of Asma eating cereal! #plottwist

Maybeeus

The next fifteen strips are going to be heartbreaking aren't they.

Ria

I'm just gonna take a quick moment to, come what may, salute the absolute SHIT out of Amazi-Girl for making the absolute best of her trauma-induced existence by inflicting some truly lifelong ego wounds on the porcine shitheads here assembled o7 to you A-G, I am sending u all of my GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE energy

Megh

For what it's worth I don't actually think she's gonna die (mostly cause I suspect Willis enjoys writing her too much) But getting seriously injured, in a "you'll be walking with a limp the rest of your life" sort of way, that seems plausible

AE Gonzalez

Amber has appeared in future comic preview panels, though that could go several directions.

AE Gonzalez

How far will they get into PMH before they remember they have boyfriends?

AE Gonzalez

Worth it to see Carol’s face when Joyce re-introduces Dorothy as her new significant other.

Wednesday Sophia

wow, i can't believe that was the final strip of dumbing of age

shiftdruid

everybody chewing the furniture over the future wives cheating on their college boyfriends while I'm sitting here screaming GIRL GO HOME. IT IS BROAD DAYLIGHT AND YOU ARE INCREASINGLY OUTNUMBERED BY AWFUL PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE TO HURT OTHERS. HOLY SHIT

shiftdruid

pretty big pack to escort there you could get them home safe and lay low for a while but nooo the cape's gotta go back out and dropkick another pig right in the protest pay. who's gonna save YOU, HOMIE

Jeremy AR

They not doing that here though?

shiftdruid

this is going to wind up on faux news. first thing joyce's fam will know about it is her unmasked face in the frame of AG committing assault on a LEO

Jeremy AR

Ok but fire list right there.

Shane Wegner

“Split up! Separate!” -> “keep holding hands, doing neither of those things”? They’re probably fine either way, but the reasoning includes, you have to send two guys to roll up two different people, but if they’re right next to each other maybe you can get a twofer and bag both with one guy sent (and might thus try). Also, if they’ve got cops in town (or on campus) trying to pick up stragglers, if they recognize or have photos of either one, it implicates the other one and they detain both, for “questioning”.

Maybeeus

100% worth it actually.

Maude Reads Things

That was for the end of the book and it appears to no longer hold true after the time skip

Maude Reads Things

Can someone fill me in on the sickos vs paladin thing? I haven't been on the main site since the protest showed up because I was worried the comments would be a hellscape for 'real life is terrible' reasons. I'm at 'Oh, boo, the ships I liked (Joyce/Joe and Dorothy/Walky) are probably gonna get rocked but also this is going to be PREMIUM drama and I am ready to inject it into my veins a la Jennifer' territory.

Sajuuk-Khar

WITCH FROM MERCURY MUCH, I said, and then got mad when Willis didn’t make the next fifteen strips about Dorothy breaking up with Joyce to save her from being used as a Gundam-piloting weapon

Simon Magid

you say ell-e-oh, I say Ge-sta-po...

Sajuuk-Khar

Willis is about to give me confirmation of the Sacred Polycule in like strip 13 and then the next two strips are Amber in a holding cell in a pool of her own blood

NinjaZaku

Oh that's a really nice visual to juxtapose the nightmares Dorothy has been having. Almost makes me forget that the girls have to have several difficult conversations when things calm down.

Morgan Byrd

Look I’m just doing riffs and bits over here

Rubia

@Albi It's a reference to a two-episode Doctor Who story arc, individually titled "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead".

Rubia

@BBCC This is only conjecture on my part, since I've only read the comments very sparingly since I subscribed to Patreon, but betting that David or some commenters made joking references comparing Joyce/Dorothy shippers to the Sickos meme, with those opposed to this ship, or perhaps with some it's more oppose-it-until-they-properly-break-up-with-Joe-and-Walky being described as Relationship Paladins. It was a poll until recently, in a "which side are you on?" way.

Mariah

So it all started during the laundry incident people started to debate if it was technically cheating or not. Team sickos is based on the sickos meme. Basically Joyce Dorothy shippers and fans in general saying even if it is cheating they don't care because they want to see joyce and dorothty happen and or the drama. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/sickos-haha-yes Relationship Paladins thinking that because cheating is wrong its should never happen in the strip and or it would ruin joyce and joes relationship to a lesser degree walky and dorothy. In DND Palidins are moral holy warrior and usually follow some sort of oath of honor. https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/4-paladin?srsltid=AfmBOoqVHSbNgJn32nxCqYJwbxm3pFTGUetAe6Uz59Gm6h0PTF6ViC77 They also seemed to think cheating would cross the line in making joyce and dorothy bad people. It somehow also devolved into a debate about fiction vs reality and how much dipiction is endorsment.

Amós Batista

Noo, Amazi-girl, no! Is she our lamb we must to sacrifice for the payment of Dorothy x Joyce? Noooo

Amós Batista

I'm happy, most because Dorothy. She suffered for so long. I literally felt how much she must took off from her chest.

Harold

@faerevolt: We need to use a different couple name for D&J. "FutureWives" is what Joyce calls Becky and Dina.

Harold

I mean, they remembered in between Kiss 1 and Kiss 2. Pretty sure that's what the "Uh-oh" was for.

Harold

Also it's not the end of the chapter

The Deliberate Myth

Ooooh boy. The callbacks (visual and dialog) that have been pointed out are doing some seriously heavy lifting in this strip. They pretty much confirm that some serious shit is about to happen. Time to speculate on what.

The Deliberate Myth

In order of most to least likely... 1. Joyrothy has ABSOLUTELY been photographed. This will out them to people (cough Carol cough) before they have a chance to figure out how or what they want to tell people. Puts them on the defensive from the get go.

The Deliberate Myth

2. Something heartbreaking is about to happen to Amazigirl. I don't know if she will be shot and wounded while escaping (because Willis loves the character and grants juuust enou plot armor), or if she is some combination of captured, unmasked, and brutalized by the po-po (because Willis loves fucking with us). Whatever it is, Joyrothy will likely be blamed for it, either by others or by themselves.

The Deliberate Myth

Did you ever see the movie "A Perfect Storm"? Good movie, good cast, based on the IRL tragedy of the Andrea Gale fishing boat. Definitely not the worst way to spend a couple hours sometime. Anyway, the little fishing boat is trying to escape a massive storm at sea, and there is a moment where the crew sees the edge of the storm. They see the calmer waters and (literal) smooth sailing ahead and everyone gets a sigh of relief. Then this massive wave rears up, seemingly in slow motion, out of nowhere, and everyone - audience and characters alike - realizes that they are so fucked. Worse, that they were ALWAYS fucked, they just didn't realize it until it was way past the opportunity to do anything about it. It's weird, but that scene has been playing in my brain... and I just can't imagine why.

Harold

@AE Gonzalez: Actually, there are currently NO future preview panels that feature either Amber or Amazi-Girl, at least on the DoA Tumblr (Willis posts occasional previews to BlueSky, so apologies if I've missed any). So we definitely have reasons to be concerned.

Harold

@Packy Anderson: Yeah, I see that now.

Sajuuk-Khar

@Harold: Dorothy and Joyce have an official ship name, per Willis! They are called “Theocracy”, because Joyce is “church” and she is railing Dorothy, who is “state”. In turn, Joe/Joyce/Dorothy I have named the Sacred Polycule, where the “church” is topping both “state” and also “patriarchy” (Joe), and also all three have become woke oh no!!! (lol) (Alt-interpretation for the Sacred Polycule would be that Joyce is Jesus, Dotty is Mary Magdalene, Joe is Simon Peter. )

Harold

@Sajuuk-Khar: DISCLAIMER - No actual railing of Dorothy by Joyce has yet occurred, in-comic. In our fevered sicko imaginings, yes, obviously. In the occasional fanfic, certainly. But not in canon itself. Yet. Soon, hopefully.

Sajuuk-Khar

Side note about the Pigs/Punks With Guns: I keep thinking about that one cop who guarded Ross when he was first arrested. He was a good guy. He comforted Becky, who he didn’t know, the best way a cop could—assured her of justice and the machinery of law. Told her she’d never have to see her lousy father again, if she did t want to. Let her know she was free. He was a nice guy. A decent guy. I’ve been wondering where he is in Dunn Meadow! Because I know he’s there. He’s behind one of those shields, holding a launcher or throwing a canister. That same guy is zip-tying kids who are exercising their rights. He didn’t change, not really—the job did, that’s all. If this is gut-wrenchingly sad for you, too, well, let’s defund the police

Bronxden

So wait do we have 15 panels left?! Because I’m trying to see and know how Joe and Walky are going to take this because Joe had an amazing development run and should be told truth for him to continue growing as an individual or falling back into his old lifestyle (which would suck honestly)

Railway Series Book Club

the visual callback subverting joyce being taken away in the van is so good, but its also made REALLY REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE THEY JUST. KEEP NOT FOLLOWING BASIC INSTRUCTIONS. THEY'RE SO STUPID

Amós Batista

I've watched this. Very tense. I'm feeling like this with Amazi-girl. I don't know if she didn't know about it, too.

Silent

Amazi-Girl gets non-fatally shot while fleeing the protest, but she can't get the bullet out herself. Asher finds out about Amber being Amazi-Girl from Ethan and takes her to an underground mob doctor. However, now both Asher and Amber are in debt to Asher’s grandfather and have to start working for the mob. Amazi-Girl investigates a series of crimes going on on campus, not realizing that Amber is actually the one responsible. Can the two of the work things out before the situation escalates too far.

And there they go. Y'all go on ahead. I might just wait here for a little bit... Let time pass...

Joey245

They are separating from the rest of the group, though, so that seems like compliance to me.

Maude Reads Things

Fair enough. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle on that. I'd rather they didn't cheat on their boyfriends, not just because of ships but because I like when the cast gets along and are friends (part of me likes wholesome things) ....but I'm also ready to watch the absolute NAPALM this is gonna be drama wise because I am also a goblin who craves drama

Harold

@Silent: While things may not play out *quite* the way you outline above (and yes, I'm aware most of it is a bit), I do envision part of it being accurate - although you appear to have forgotten that Asher *already* knows Amber is A-G (he saw the Amazi-outfit hanging in Amber's closet). If A-G manages to get away from Dunn Meadow, the police are going to be looking for her, and I can easily see Asher revealing that he knows and offering to help her... for the price of a favor, or two, or...
