Aww… They truly were made for each other. Or rather, Dorothy was made for Joyce, literally.

MrShoggoth

Okay, that’s a good pun. I can appreciate that. I can even support it, even if I can’t support everything going on.

Jim Avery

Honestly that joke would get me going too. That's solid.

Jeremy AR

Dorothy is not made of stone people!

Megh

These two can't keep their lips off each other for 30 goddamn seconds and they think they have any chance of keeping this secret? Cute

Jeremy AR

Tonight is a tragic one for the relationship paladins. Sickos be feasting tho.

Grimeagle

Truly. I am conflicted. On the one hand. This is very cute and they're very sweet. On the other, they're both good people who generally care about the people that currently with and this is a pretty messed up for them. On the other other hand a small part of me still kind of hopes for the series somehow pull a It's Walky and see Joyce and Walky somehow be a thing, but honestly that's so far down the list that it's irrelevant and would at this point just be nice call back moment for them to just try it out for 24 hours.

Bronxden

god im thinking someone is about to see them and its about to blow up.

Jeremy AR

It has been stated this not called smarting of age.

NinjaZaku

Oh that's so stinkin cute. They're so stinkin cute! Ughh the fallout is gonna be so rough to witness

Megh

For better and for worse sickos always win

Jeremy AR

Fo the sickos for worse is also for better.

Harold

I think most of us are thinking everyone has likely *already* seen them, via photos and video of them at the protest.

Megh

True true, but sometimes they impress with how deep their levels of dumb truly go

Maude Reads Things

And those of us in the middle are confusedly munching! :D

Logibear

3 more strips of planning everything out, opening the doors and then immediately seeing Joe with a phone in his hand with a photo of them kissing at the protest.

Grace Serenity

These two dorks are perfect for each other

Harold

Get you a girl who's turned on by wordplay

el

they're so adorable and happy together!! once all the drama is up I can't wait to see them do cute normal date things :,) oh Joyce, it brings a tear to my eye to think about how much youve grown! ...even if you're still breaking people up and lying and stuff

Maude Reads Things

Hey, that's a pretty solid pun. It'd work on me too. TBH I think they already know where they stand and they're gonna need to do something they may really not wanna do.

Grace Serenity

C'mon, they're trying to do the right thing! They're just extremely horny and their sex drive keeps grabbing the wheel! That wheel being their butts.

Heatth

I mean, at least they have a plan!

Steven Herzog

can't have a comedy/drama webcomic without continually refreshing the drama amirite (said with love)

Heatth

Yeah, the more the belabor it, the more likely it becomes. It is either a photo from the protest or just people seeing them through the see-through door.

Grace Serenity

It worked for my mom! 50+ years of marriage to my dad because they both had a penchant for puns

Maybeeus

In case you were wondering what Danny, Walky, and Joyce ACTUALLY all had in common.

Heatth

To be fair, they are TRYING to savage things with the Paladins. That is what "sort things" mean. It won't work, but they are trying.

Kelly (they-them)

You two gotta at least move away for the door - if for no other reason than to get out of the way of people entering and exiting

GundamBradley

I know people have their own guesses on how people will find out about it, and photos from the protest seems plausible, though I am going to just shoot my shot and say the issue is that Amazi-Girl saw it, and thus, presumably Amber will know. Amber likes messes, but she also still seems to like Walky, and Joe's her brother now, and thus she prrrobably wouldn't be like the biggest fan of what these two are doing.

Megh

The way Joyce has her eye half open in the last panel makes her look like she thinks she's the slyest motherfucker on the planet

Kelly (they-them)

If she's not made of stone, then why is she so hard?

Harold

Except that she's a self-admitted trash goblin who craves mess

Megh

Step 1: Stop kissing Step 2: ??? Step 3: Okay just a bit more kissing

Grace Serenity

Amber is a gremlin that loves drama and writes slashfics

Jay

At least she acknowledged its cheating ig

Jack Atherton

Please god have the poly talk with your partners SOON

C

Much as I am enjoying the kisses, yeah, a plan needs to be made (despite the fact that the first casualty of the battlefield is almost always the plan).

AE Gonzalez

Unless they just go at in in the open, the only question is: Whose room will they go to? Dorothy’s roommate is Becky, and her seeing these two in a naked embrace would have epic drama potential.

William Lewis

They belong together. The fallout will hurt quite a few people but in the end, they belong together. They don't have to wait for fucking San Junipero to be happy together, people.

etherealDesign

i think sarah is one of the only people in the dorm who is 100% unreservedly in favor of this development so joyce's own room is probably fine. i HOPE they go to becky's just for the drama potential, but what a mess!

Megh

Would Sarah be in favor of this? I can't imagine her wanting to deal with the fallout of this situation, and as we saw from her working out earlier she's come around on Joe

Logibear

Also importantly, have the Poly talk with each other too.

shiftdruid

SICKENING. KISSING OVER BAD PUNS. IM GOING TO THROW UP I LOVE THEM SO MUUUUUCH

shiftdruid

dotty attempts to assert ANY kind of rational over girlkissing priorities and is DEFEATED IMMEDIATELY

Railway Series Book Club

this comic is too real. i'm visiting one of my gfs rn and every time we're outside and i'm like "hey maybe we should tone down PDA right now" she'll always say something stupid like [See Above] and i'll have no choice but to kiss her. it's not fair!!!!! i love the look in Joyce's eyes in the last panel, she knows what she's doing LMAO

Ashura Atsu

This is honestly the best part. Not just the kissing, but the fact they just. can't. help themselves.

Chip Prince

I can quit whenever I want

etherealDesign

sarah no longer hates joe to the point where shes unwilling to share a room with him, and treats him as 'fellow human being more or less' rather than 'sex monster who should be hit in the head with a bat' which is a huge improvement but also a very low bar i feel. she still thinks he'd eventually hurt joyce badly, and has basically proven herself right by showing that joe's first instinct upon being propositioned is to say "yes please and thank you!" that doesnt make it okay for joyce to fix this by cheating on him first, but i think she'd be broadly in favor of anything that breaks up joyce from the guy she trusts the least for joyce and puts her with dorothy instead since shes one of the only people sarah actually admits to liking.

E

Lmao you’re right

Packy Anderson

Damn, that beats my 15 years of marriage to a woman who has a punchant for wordplay.

ThatOneGuy

Dorothy, be more specific about "sort things," because otherwise you may take different actions for moving forward.

William Lewis

I really don't want to know anyone who wouldn't be hot for her 😈

Dahlia Rose

I gotta say, while I don't dismiss the possibility of a poly relationship between Joyce, Joe and Dorothy developing, I personally don't think it will. And the reason why is from what we've seen just across this arc, these two very obviously feel a lot more for each other then Joyce feels for Joe. Sure maybe Joe might feel this much towards Joyce, and maybe he'd be willing to give it a chance to still be with her. But I can't help but feel like the relationship would very much be more tilted towards Dorothy for Joyce, and that just doesn't seem like it would be fair to Joe.

William Lewis

I guess for me, I just remember all the relationships that have come and gone, the pain and the joy that are always going to be there for everyone. I never went out of my way to hurt someone (a once and future GF got dumped on Valentine's Day by a dickhead) but I'm hardly a paladin having badly burned a bridge or two. To be 18 and a freshman (or 24, fresh out of the Army and a freshman... Whistles innocently ) is a recipe for love and joy and broken hearts and pain. And this is why I love this strip 😊 Both sides are right because both sides are wrong and that's why life is so beautiful ❤️

Smoochie

I think you’re right for the most part here but I also can’t help but remember that it was Sarah and Billie who broadly believed something like this would happen to Joyce. Pratfalling into her own sexuality I believed they said.

5099 5618 v2.0

That sounds like a wonderful way to be, your majesty.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Smoochie They definitely nailed that one.

5099 5618 v2.0

@GundamBradley Didn't Booster guess that Amber's stake in this was a hope that the mess would free Walky back up? If so, that's not impossible from here. Might require a few more things to align before she'd have her shot, but it's Lex Luthor levels of patience and cunning if so (especially if it actually does work out).

5099 5618 v2.0

@Viga No lies detected. Double entendres also seem to reliably move the needle. (Edited from initial post for clarity: puns are not double entendres, although they are related. Mea culpa)

Doran McEowen

Place your bets now - who spots them? I know there's a chance someone snapped a photo at the protest, but my money's on Raidah.

Jesse

Points for trying.

Grace Serenity

@Packy well they had a head start on you (;

Railway Series Book Club

a while back i dug through willis' twitter to look for their "storyline finished! ask how many appearances your favorite character has" post about this storyline, so i think i actually know the answer to this one and am afraid to actually say who it is for fear of spoiling the fun, lol

Sajuuk-Khar

I mean I think this is cute and I still got some hopes and ideas and all, but I now feel like… those hopes/ideas are stupid and I’ve posted too much to the point I sound like a dipshit chorus of bad opinions, and I’m being understood to say things I don’t even mean. So it’s time to cut back and engage a lot less. Sorry about all the bullshit posts yesterday, y’all. I was having fun and being dumb and didn’t realize how few people also were. My bad.

Anna K

My wife's method of impressing me on our first date was a string of cheese puns. It worked very well: I knew at that moment I'd found a gouda woman, and nearly a decade later, I've stiltons of love for her.

Sajuuk-Khar

Huh. I’m curious to see that post if you’re cool linking it

Mariah

I enjoy your posts personally very plausible theories.

Silent

As someone who's on team Sickos, but doesn't want this to turn into the two of them dating in secret for a prolonged period of time, I'm glad Dorothy at least seems to want to talk to Joe/Walky asap. It helps that doing so gets us to the sweet, sweet fallout faster.

Maude Reads Things

I don't think they've been stupid at all. I think you're probably right - if Joe and Joyce break up (which, I admit, I think is more likely than I think you do right now - I'm not saying they'll never be back together or polyamorous but I think Joe's gonna need to lick his wounds for a while first), it'll be the sadder, heartbroken one and Walky might just lose his shit.

Heatth

Same. There is a line between a "crime of passion" so to speak, and actually prolonged cheating behind their boyfriends back. They would be a little too unsympathetic to me if they actually did that. Although, it just occurred to me that Walky does know that Joyce "had sex with Dorothy" a week ago, so it wouldn't be weird if he think their affair started back then or before...

Edwin I Callahan

Actually, it was Ruth who said that when that happened Joyce would cut a swath through Bloomington like a “crazed Tasmanian Devil.”

Sajuuk-Khar

Oh ho, one truly has not

Justin Seifert

I would really hope that both of them would ask their partners if they can have a girlfriend Instead of going down some very messy path where they try to gaslight their partners to leave them of their own accord. Obviously not a whole polycule situation, but more of like a kitchen table type of dynamic.

Harold

@Anna K: Edam you Anna

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

to be clear when i posted about walky yesterday i wasn't singling you out, i think a lot of people are way more neutral to negative on him than he deserves

Megh

I mean, I didn't say she's wrong to think it

Bagge

You dorks...

Grimeagle

This is my girlfriend, and that's my girlfriend's girlfriend. Oh no, my girlfriend's girlfriend isn't dating me, she's my girlfriend's girlfriend. But we do watch cartoons sometimes.

zee

No no no no your theories are rad and I loved reading them yesterday, dont go!

Baqly

Although i dont know on how things would pan out for joe, we have seen both walky being in a pretty good mood all around in the previews and interacting with joyce, so either he hasnt been told in over a year of updates (like 3 days) or he has been told and he is chill. While i dont know exactly thats my gut feeling

KittyKai

NO. KEEP GIVING ME HOPE. I NEED THE JOE/JOYCE/DORTHY POLY IN ME LIFE 🤩🤩

Justin Seifert

I think Joe is mentally prepared for Joyce feelings for Dorothy As we got a minor taste of that in nn unpublished comic where he specifically offered to step aside. I personally hope that Joyce keeps both.

Astariel

I guess that depends what Willis meant by the answer. Was he answering "How many strips will Becky be in and how many strips will Dina be in?," "How many strips will Becky & Dina be in together?," or "How many strips will Becky and/or Dina be in?" Btw, we've actually seen Becky 9 times this storyline so far, but we are due another 2 Sarah appearances.

AE Gonzalez

Overdue last panel comment: Dorothy is talking surprisingly well with her tongue inside Joyce’s mouth.

Harold

Dina has only made one appearance in the storyline thus far, and that was as an offscreen voice confirming Becky's inquiry whether fingering = sex.

Jozan

fuck, the gay creature in my in my heart squealing is warring with the "Please talk to your partners" in my brain

Ph

I don't see how AmaziGirl seeing something means Amber knows it, given history in the strip.

Brian Danger Hicks

It's good that it seems like they're going to sort out their relationships quickly, both because it's the right thing to do and also because there's no way these two will be able to keep this on the down-low.

C

"Dammit, I got mixed up...Saturdays are our group date night, I had to cut my gym workout short..."

Heatth

At the time he sure was. But, like, maybe he will recess his conclusion based on new evidence.

KittyKai

Okay, I know a lot of people have been theorizing that someone is gonna walk in on them, bit MAYBE... Have you all considered... That MAYBE all of them were so concerned for where the heck Joyce and Dorthey vanished off to that they formed a search party to find the two, which led to the dorms being completely deserted as they spent all day/night trying to find them??? Meaning that Joyce and Dorthy WON'T come across any of their friends at all, meaning there's nobody to walk in on them and nobody for them to hide from, and wait oh no what happened to Joyce and Dorthy's clothes x3 (For the record I'm half joking - realistically I hope they talk to their boyfriends first, but god dammit they're cute!!)

The Deliberate Myth

They are clearly in that maddeningly euphoric phase of new love where the other person is seemingly all you can think about. I mean, you CAN think about other things, of course, but it takes effort because you are so focused on that joy you are getting. This is also why they were so oblivious to the ramifications of having this all happen in the middle of a much larger issue. When you are in that phase of new love, it is blinding and all consuming. It does not completely excuse some of the mistakes that they are making, of course, but for me at least, it does make it somewhat more understandable. For what it is worth, I don't believe they are going into this with the intent of hurting anyone. I know that doesn't change the fact that they absolutely WILL hurt someone - probably a few someones - but if anyone is up for parsing the shades of grey, there's that. All told, I see a very flawed but human response happening between them. Given the context of their age and life experience, I am inclined to view this blossoming romance as more "d'awww" than "d'oh", even while acknowledging the fallout that is coming soon.

The Deliberate Myth

One other thought that I don't think I have seen mentioned much... Joyce is showing surprisingly little hesitation. Yes, yes, she has largely turned her back on the fundie upbringing, and has been on a trajectory towards this for basically the entire comic. Still, the ease and confidence that she shows by embracing a side of her that she spent her whole life denying is impressive as hell. Go get 'er, Joyce. Just minimize and deal with the casualties as best you can.

Mariah

I had a strong feeling it would be.... that character not going to spoil it for anyone that doesn't want to know.

Smoochie

Going off the previews I have been wondering if Walky will be forgiving of Joyce because he suspected her having a crush on Dorothy for the longest time, and knows what it’s like to feel things for her. Crazy enough he might even become Joyce’s go-to to navigate her feelings for Dorothy. ….but I also suspect Willis hasn’t shown Walky and Dotty interacting for a reason.

Smoochie

@edwin Ah thank you. We haven’t gotten nymphomancer Joyce. *yet* but there’s still time.

Doran McEowen

That is somehow worse, thanks! I was already dreading Becky's reaction, especially where she's at in her own storyline.

Amós Batista

For real. How it's so easy for Joyce kiss and embrace her
