SUCKING ALL THE WEENUS as was sort of foretold by Sarah

Sajuuk-Khar

GOD THE WORST POSSIBLE TIMING LMFAO

SmurfJuice

Yup, this ain't getting resolved in four strips.

el

oh NOOOOO. Honestly, what else could Joyce have done? Little concerning that Dorothy immediately goes to "well Joyce HAS to break up with Joe"

The25th

It’s simple they both get to break the news to the others bf. Joyce would relish it and Dorothy thinks it would feel good even if she doesn’t want it to.

Logibear

This wasn't on the bingo card at all.

Corronchilejano

That's the saddest frown I've ever seen on Joyce.

LupinThe8th

Joyce is going to have a LOT of weighted blankets before she meets her quota. Girl's gonna be the smooshiest. Better relocate to a ground floor room, because otherwise that many is going to cause severe structural risk.

WT Harmon

See, Joe knows! Joyce needs squished and he's not always around. Also, was that just cheating on Dorothy? Is it double cheating?

Morgan Byrd

Giving head is ruined forever for her

DonnieRamesJio

Oh it's all gonna blow up for everyone

HenryVolt

I mean, that's next level thoughtfulness how do you break up with that.

LupinThe8th

So, who else just learned a new vocabulary word from Dorothy?

Andrea Andrew

Oh no. Now Joyce is in Dorothy’s position with Walky! I hope Dorothy isn’t upset. I’m glad Joyce was honest with Dorothy, but does this count as cheating on Dorothy?

Megh

YES...HA HA HA... YES!

Steven Herzog

The only true outcome for a drama about college freshmen

Arlo C-J

Now THIS is mess.

C

Dammit Joyce, you gotta rip the bandaid off before it gets real bad...

Harold

Next strip: Dorothy also gets Joyce a gift - an extra-large bottle of Listerine

Steven Herzog

The next two weeks of comic strip time is gonna be six months of real time.

Heatth

Welp. This just makes everything a lot worse... I think I will avoid the main comment section tomorrow.

Justin Seifert

Come on you are all adults.... Be honest and date both!!!

Bronxden

yeah this is about to be a messy end

Edwin I Callahan

Yeah, this is going to take to work itself out. Maybe Willis should go with the poly route. Joe & Joyce & Walky & Dorothy. Consider the possibilities.

Maude Reads Things

Ooof, yeah, that will probably make future breakups way worse

Grace Serenity

I always figured the entire next storyline was going to be the break-up. Willis wouldn't spend 15 years building this ship only to resolve everything in a couple weeks!

darklion

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

Quantum

You know what… I can’t even blame her

tifani

That smile on Joyce’s face in the last panel has me dying.

Dan Rabin

Must. Purge. System: initiate sex joke dump: "Joyce had a clear mission, but she blew it." "Those weren't the oral skills you were supposed to exercise." "Joyce really sucks at breaking up." "Won't Joe be grossed out that that was the very same tongue that was in Dorothy's mouth?" OK, better now. Maybe a real comment soon...

Megh

"Maybe a real comment soon" Whaddya mean? This one's already perfection

Harold

@Tifani Milewski: Do you mean the *first* panel? That sure doesn't look like a smile in the last panel.

SmartAlec105

Mmmm, yes this is the emotional pain that can only come from being so invested in this series. I unironically have "for the plot" as my reason for wanting to see the entire Joyce+Joe blowjob scene. Might just be me but it feels a little unclear if Dorothy asked "did you break up with him?" because that's what they were implying by "telling the boyfriends" or if she asked based on Joyce's expression after returning. Also, at least this will likely help the pause on kissing between Joyce and Dorothy since I don't think Dorothy would really appreciate that.

Heatth

I would argue yes. Btw, I've been rereading the comic and the backlog of the early update comments. Been kinda amusing seeing you often dog pilled for pointing out the obvious Joyce/Dorothy build up as the Joyce/Joe became official.

Smoochie

Like pop rocks in a bottle of sprite

Smoochie

The man got her a weighted blanket. It is ALREADY BAD

T Campbell

That Joyceface in panel 4 is a keeper

tifani

Enlarge the last panel. She looks to me to be absolutely smiling. There’s a small black upturned line in the corner of her mouth. If it’s not meant to be a smile it’s an interesting slip but I think it’s a smile.

William Lewis

Magnify the "Oh Boy" joke by 1000 please Ziggy...

Templeton

Does Joyce HAVE to break up with Joe though...?

Lia

LMAO

Lyman Green

Messy. I feel for all parties

tifani

I’m reading Joyce’s expression in that last panel as dazed a bit shocked but ultimately she enjoyed what went down very much. Am I the only one seeing that?

Logibear

Next strip has Dorothy saying "fine, I'll break up with Walky then" three panels of Joyce stare and then Dorothy returning with a weighted blanket.

N

Lmfao lesbian flag colored weighted blanket of guilt.

Heatth

I love that Joe brought up his father infidelity here. Just, you know, to remind the readers that that is a thing that is always in his mind.

Uniquitous

Nobody expects blowjob bingo!

tifani

Nope and I think she’s starting to realize that. She doesn’t actually WANT to break up with him. She just thought she had to. She does have to tell him though.

William Lewis

Much more seriously, it is a major pain, literal hardcore pain, to be in love with 2 people at the same time. The only time it has worked for me is when one lived in England and the other in the US...

Andrea Andrew

Thank you, Heath. I probably should acknowledge the Joe/Joyce buildup more too. After seeing tonight, it’s obvious Joyce is probably in a worse position than Dorothy. She’s in love with Dorothy and wants her, but she loves Joe the same and differently. She might be a little poly. I hope Dorothy is able to help her.

Calder Johnson

Hahahahahahaha Catastrophic mission failure. You know what? For so much of this storyline I felt in a strange isolation - too uncomfortable with the moralizing to be Team Paladin, but too sad for the ramifications and fallout to be Team Sicko. But with this, I have felt a clammy and clawed hand encircle and grasp my heart and my allegiance to Team Sicko is complete. Let's throw some napalm on this dumpster fire, shove it down a mine shaft and see how deep this rabbit hooole goooooooooes!!!

Logibear

Homeboy has been through so much development but that is his North Star.

Heatth

Honestly, she might not have a choice. This strip reminds us Joe has a specific trauma regarding cheating and Joyce not only just cheated on him but also implicitly lied to his face right now, which likely compound the issue. Joe's biggest fear was that he would be the one cheating, but I doubt he being cheated on will have no effect on him, specially given how much he invested into this relationship, emotionally.

AE Gonzalez

Anyway, this is the next logical step after a handjob.

Andrea Andrew

Joe’s dingdong indirectly kissed Dorothy.

Ty34er

Well, you made me spend 4 extra dollars and now I'm hoping there is a photo on your other Patreon.

Heatth

That is my reading as well.

Andrea Andrew

She has to at least let Joe know she’s dating Dorothy too.

tifani

Yeah.

tifani

The deception is the issue. She has to tell him what happened and then they have to decide together what happens after.

Dan Rabin

1. Joyce's fake smile is the same size as her genuine smile, but has rounded corners and shows marks between the teeth. 2. It may just be the nature of handling a weighted blanket, but it doesn't look very different from holding a baby. 3. Joe getting the colors right is more Perfect Boyfriend stuff. 4. The borderless wordless frowning Joyce frame in this strip is in the same position within the strip as the one in the immediately previous strip, and visits approximately the same emotion. Both strips also follow Joyce's theory of comics that the second-to-last panel should be wordless: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/03-see-you-in-the-funny-page/doris/. But are these strips funny?

Tessea

Oh noooo.... Good job, Joyce. Good job. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Joe considering his past, but this one really made me feel bad for him. I'm team Dottie all the way, but I hope the fallout isn't _too_ bad.

Dan Rabin

Real comment has been posted. Thank you for your patience in this matter!

Logibear

And she gave another

tifani

She did A job

Heatth

Honestly, I am still the opinion she doesn't really quite 'love' Joe, not in the way she loves Dorothy or Joe loves her. This read to me more as a mix of guilt and horny than love. So I read her less as poly and more as impulsive. But I probably need her trying to explain what she did to Dorothy tomorrow to make a stronger opinion. At any rate, the fact Joe brought up his father infidelity makes me think a poly route is impossible, at least in the immediate future.

J R Quilcon

Only after you mentioned it. Satisfaction+Guilt=Ambivalence

shiftdruid

GIRL LMAO I LOVE YOU

Dan Rabin

It's a smown—she looks like she just swallowed a spork.

Gwen R

There's a comment on the main site today that 'I could set my clock to Joyce putting her foot in her mouth', but wound up being a different body part.

GundamBradley

Yeah, I do definitely think she enjoyed it. Like, obviously, the Dorothy developments have been a Lot for her, we know that, but she's still very much sexually into Joe, and romantically. Just, uhh, obviously there are some decisions that need to be made.

Andrea Andrew

Yeah, you’re probably right, Heath.

shiftdruid

JOYCE BROWN IS SURROUNDED BY LOVE

Jayne Lindgren

People don't see woman/woman intimacy as romantic or sexual as easily as they do man/woman. Or man/man, unfortunately. And Sapphic relationships are less popular. It's sad, but it is what it is. It's why I'm dreading this bit. There's people who will see Joe/Joyce as more legitimate than Joyce/Dorothy no matter what, just because one is straight-presenting and one isn't.

tifani

She swallowed something

GundamBradley

As much as I could judge Joyce for her putting this off, I won't say I won't get it. And I mean, at least the two of them can cross this off the list. Just, guh, this is going to be tough....

tifani

No it does not count as cheating. Until the break up actually happens Joe is the partner and Dorothy is the side piece.

C Bonesmith

Yeah, you pretty much have to hold them like a baby, especially the really heavy ones. Otherwise the weight's really off-balance and tricky to hold without them slipping out of your arms. I have a 30-pounder and my options are either hold it like a baby, put it in a laundry basket and move it that way, or hold it over both shoulders and let it drape over my chest. I love that thing like it's a member of my family, but it is a pain to move.

Maybeeus

Towards the end of the last chapter when Joyce said "this would be so much easier with you." My lingering thought was "this is going to end in a weird threesome isn't it?" and i stand by it. edit: I know i've said it would be a mess, it would be dysfunctional, but you need to understand the vision. It would be dysfunctional in a sitcom way not a depressing way. edit2 the elaboration strikes back: There has honestly been so much god damn foreshadowing towards this. To start Walky, Dorothy, and Joyce were basically a throuple through most of the first semester but after the Walky breakup Joe replaced Walky as the third in this dynamic even the banner art of these three kinda gives throuple vibes, it sets the tone that these three are the central relationship of the comic (or were at that point) and it would have probably turned into a polycule a lot faster if Dorothy didn't decide to shoot herself in the foot and get back together with Walky. Joe himself has been entirely supportive of Joyce and Dorothy between telling Joyce that he wants her to have all the things she wants and telling Dorothy to "Be honest with herself." and drawing more attention to the fact she's cheating on Walky than the fact she's flirting with his current girlfriend. Joyce suggesting Poly at the start of the book with Sarah, Jacob, and Lucy also feels like a brick joke and the fact Joyce hasn't brought up Polycule since then feels like it only makes it a stronger possibility for the exact same reasons i've stated in another post of mine on this very strip could spell its doom. The fact is nobody has even expressed a single thought about turning things into a polycule. In fact judging by what Dorothy said here i don't even think she's had a single thought about it but she MIGHT also not know about the fact Joyce is aware of what polycules are now and just assuming she's only capable of being monogamous ( doo doooo do do doo) which is a thought worth challenging after your new GF gave Joe a Sloppy right after walking through tear gas for you. The real cutting blade here that nobody has mentioned, is this probably won't be the last time Joyce does something like this. It's not the first either with the Jacob situation. Joyrothy is an incredibly powerful ship but you have to understand it's powered by the fact Joyce is a bottomless well of horniness and that horny if not answered will wipe out anything and everything in it's way. "Some day soon you're gonna pratfall into your first orgasm and bang half the town like a frenzied tasmanian devil" - Ruth https://www.dumbingofage.com/need-2/ It's happening, it's been happening, and by fucking god it's going to CONTINUE happening. Once the Fuckening starts nobody can stop it it's like third impact. The real reason Joyce is the protagonist of DoA is because she's the chosen one, she alone holds The Power and she alone can bring about The Fuckpile but with that Power she can bring about just as much harm as good... (I didn't know where to sneak this in but i also felt like mentioning it, a part of me does hope if things do blow up badly that Joyce is forced to go to therapy finally to address a lot of this stuff plus it would be a fun setting to dig deeper into her as a character.)

shiftdruid

Big Fuckpile For President

Calder Johnson

Something, something... the blow job cat is out of the bag...something

Shane Wegner

Does Dorothy expect exclusivity?

GundamBradley

It is not lost on me that I commented that Joyce "kinda sucks" yesterday, and now we see that she indeed can do just that. Just, maybe not how I anticipated it. A rather torn "gooooOOod for them? ???", like sweet but also oh dear.

MrShoggoth

For real though I’m both relieved and extremely horrified that I was wrong about Joe knowing about the protest. kiss. Oh no.

Waifu Purplebutt

A new thing for the other patreon, *and* she gets some perspective on how fucked up what she's done is? David, you dog - you spoil us relationship paladins!

tifani

This does remind me of a Reno 911 quote where Clementine was talking about romance and she was like, “One time a guy held the car door open for me and I thought that was real polite so I blew him.”

tifani

Her expectation that Joyce would immediately break up with Joe says yeah.

Heatth

Given items 1) and 2) in her list, I imagine so.

Heatth

It led him to his worst and to his best. Lets see where it will lead him next.

Vivian

Sometimes the only way for things to go is down

AE Gonzalez

Seriously: we haven’t seen Dorothy’s full emotional response to Joyce admission.

Fart Captor

They very clearly both do, as per their discussion and mutual decision to break up with their boyfriends

T Campbell

In the interest of honesty, I'll admit that what I had in the betting pool was "Joe was freaking out because the break in Joyce's usual rhythms and her unreachability by text and his knowing about Jocelyn meant that he knew she was at a protest where she might get hurt." One can get a little too invested in the serious outcomes sometimes--but I think a lot of readers were, which is why the comedic timing works so well here.

Fart Captor

Clearly talking was too difficult, which she addressed by making talking even more difficult 😔

Heatth

Yeah. Joyce just made things hard for both of her paramours. It wouldn't be unrealistic for her to loose both after this stunt.

Jeremy AR

The guy get you a weighted blanket. And you kill him.

Smoochie

Well no, Joe had one job.

Smoochie

High off your own bi, I take it as.

Smoochie

You did good.

tifani

So…Joe’s mom is autistic!

ScrimpArt

yknow what i was all for joyce breaking up with joe immediately but this is WAY funnier keep cooking willis

GundamBradley

Yeah, likely so, which is a bit ironic given her trying to get Walky to bang her when he was with Lucy.

Jay

DAAAAANG. Weighted Blanket head. Well at least he didn't get cheated on for nothing.

GundamBradley

Not yet, but yeah, that seems like a prime contender and likely to happen, given Willis has done ones of many other canon events, like Joyce and Joe getting the other off with their hands.

Heatth

Yeah, it have come up before.

Mariah

Jentry Chau vs the underworld?

Maybeeus

Also my theory: Dorothy talks with Walky and it escalates into them breaking up locking her into the plan while Joyce is still figuring out how to deal with the Joe situation. A dumped Dorothy would become even more codependent on Joyce too, there would be no backing out and it would basically set the dynamite trail on fire forcing them to move even faster with the plan. I make jokes about the polycule route and i do believe it's a legitimate outcome even still but none of these characters have really made their own explicit thoughts on a poly relationship known. Joe would probably be fine if Joyce came in and asked "Hey what about a third?" but Dorothy i don't think could stand sharing Joyce. I feel like she's petty in that regard but it's also Real as fuck. It's what i mean when i say the polycule route is most realistically going to go in the direction of lasting a day or two before Joe calls it off after getting a good enough grasp of the situation. There is a chance it works out still though, anything could happen. Dorothy might end up fucking Walky next page sealing the deal as an affair instead. The recent Walky comic here on the patreon has me a bit convinced that he's not making it out of tonight with a girlfriend though.

AE Gonzalez

I mean, can’t talk with a full mouth.

Terra Bruder

This is a good read. Guilt head.

Genevieve

I thought I was bad at breakups, but apparently I have a lot to learn

AE Gonzalez

That might be where the next chapter is going: Joyce and Dorothy repeatedly trying to tell their boyfriends about their infidelity, and repeatedly performing sexual acts instead.

Sajuuk-Khar

I would absolutely love weird sitcom triad but hahahaha oh boy this comic isn’t helping meeeee

Sajuuk-Khar

Good job, from a certain point of view (the wind gods’, vacuum cleaners’, a tornado’s)

Omnithea

Alright. Walkerton Sr. had a point with the fuck pile.

Sajuuk-Khar

That possessiveness on Dotty is totally understandable but it is bad for me and bad for Joyce and ough

Sajuuk-Khar

Honest answer: I don’t know if it counts? I’d argue no based solely on order of operations, but Dorothy might be frustrated by it! Then again, consequences, actions, etc! Also I have had to eat crow already about being wrong about the buildup, and at this point I think you, Andrea, might be right about the time-traveling pharmacy couple. You are the Cassandra of these comments, and you have seen the future.

Rob McBobson

For the record, this is what I predicted yesterday. :)

Railway Series Book Club

i was trying to visualize what the main site comments will look like for this strip and realized that this comic really needs its own RUINED FOREVER article. since, yknow, Joyce didn't go with the perfect drama-free route in this scene, which means she's an IRREDEEMABLE HUSSY and the comic is RUINED FOREVER!!!

Jasmijn Wellner

One step forward, two steps on your knees

Sajuuk-Khar

Actually, at current count, he’s had two different jobs.

AE Gonzalez

The *No* in the last panel is perfectly placed.

Crunchos cereal

Of course the solution is easy for the RUINED FOREVER people: just stop reading it.

etherealDesign

looks like its maximum drama then, all gas no brakes!

Gwen R

I've seen a few bits of media go the poly route as resolutions to love triangles, without necessarily meaning there's no drama down the line: - Sense8 did it with Kala, Wolfgang and Rajan, we didn't really see the aftermath as it was wrapped up in one of the final scenes of the series. - The 1980 movie A Small Circle Of Friends did it with its main trio, with them settling into a nice little dynamic before one tries to intervene with a clumsy radical cell led by one of their old school friends who accidentally blow themselves up along with him. Quite a way to get things back to monogamy. - AEW recently had the trio of Toni Storm, Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa resolve their dynamic this way, at least until Toni and Mariah had a bloody betrayal and feud that is possibly the gayest thing in the history of wrestling.

Jeremy AR

But they will not. They never do no matter how much they say so. Then they would need to find something else to complain and have pointless arguments about

Jeremy AR

Including the blowjob?

joe mcguire

I hope the weighted blanket was safely removed from that, because she’s just carrying it around and that would be kind of gross 😅

Ren Doiron

Calling it now, Joe is definitely going to have a crash out when he finds out and most likely go back to his whoring ways at least he can say he gave the whole monogamous relationship the old college try, I honestly fell bad for him because this whole time people have been braking his balls over the amount of women he sleeps with (Which is slut shaming BTW and not right for ANYONE to do) Now that he wants to put that behind him and try to be better especially for someone he truly cares for and respects just for Joyce to pull the hugest heel turn and decides to brake up with him just because someone tells her too JUST SO THEY CAN BE TOGETHER GUILT FREE is fucking wild, Honestly I've lost a whole lot of respect for both Joyce and Dorothy ESPECIALLY Dorothy the fact that she's willing to nuke two whole relationships just like that is pretty unsettling.

Harold

Dorothy: "When I'm with Joyce, *I* am the Joe's mom"

Anna Phylaxis

Man, people really don't have much faith in Joe. Everyone keeps predicting him crashing out and returning to who he was when the comic started. Buncha Rachels in these comment sections.

Anna Phylaxis

Also I think it's REALLY funny that someone would call "breaking up" a "heel turn."

Harold

@Anna Phylaxis: Not as funny as somberly (and *correctly*, I hasten to add) declaring that it's wrong to shame someone for sleeping with a lot of people, and in the same comment calling Joe's sexual habits "whoring"

Harold

@Anna Phylaxis: "Who *am* I? I'm the Rachel that unfairly judges people. You must be the Other Rachel."

Harold

Not an issue if she swallowed.

Harold

"The WENUS" was also the never-ending (and never-explained, including what the acronym stood for) project that was the focal point of Chandler's office job on FRIENDS.

Tom Boucher

Hey the emails stopped coming with the comic in a readable format. I was hoping it was a glitch but now it’s been like that for a bit. Is that going to get reset so that the whole comic comes again? Patreon has put a redirect in that tries to force me to install the app I don’t want if I try and follow it to read the comic.

Sajuuk-Khar

Everybody is a genius Who blew Joe in advance

Megh

My dumbass didn't even catch the joke when I read this last night I just took it straightforward that obviously this is gonna make having the future conversation of "oh btw I'm cheating on you" even more awkward

Harold

Dorothy: "Goddamn it, Joyce! Let *me* show you how it's done!" [marches off to Walky's room] [Smash cut to Dorothy waking up, in bed with both Walky and Amber] Dorothy: "HOW THE FU---"

Riley Aurelia

I dont think its necessarily a lack of faith. At this point in the story his motivation for being a better person is so he can 'deserve' Joyce, rather than it being for his own sake. When people frame their own self improvement for the sake of their relationship with someone else and that relationship ends poorly, it's pretty natural to have a hit of a relapse into their bad habits. I think this is going to lead to a low point for Joe but definitely not a permanent one

Sajuuk-Khar

Dorothy discovers a heretofore unknown cuck fetish

Harold

I never watched this past season's DOCTOR ODYSSEY (now a one-season-and-done show), but it apparently quickly resolved the central love triangle by making it poly, and there was an absurd amount of hand-wringing media commentary about that. Of course, in the season finale, they copped out by having one of the participants gracefully bow out, leaving one couple (a male-female one, of course).

Amós Batista

The good point to be a lazy adopter is that I know that always cannot trust 100% in anything. Glad I skipped the urge to buy a NSFW Patreon subscription.

DiDi-chan

NO!!! This is worse. Because it means she didn't tell Joe. It's officially a kept secret. And now she risks hurting Dorothy too.

Amós Batista

Is it real? I thought it was like a comic thing. Or just a trope.

Same, same, riiight there with you I would even take Smoochie’s Evil Recipe: Dorothy decides to include Joe but isn’t happy, Joe has to process this, Walky is angry and feels kicked out, Becktre looms

Sajuuk-Khar

I will never believe in Regression Joe as anything but a very funny joke comic from Bluesky involving him, broken up with and sad, wandering Clark wing yelling “HELP, SEX PLZ” and Billie chasing after him with perverse hunk lust in her eyes

Sajuuk-Khar

Joyce: “D:< Dorothy! You cheated on me and Joe!” Joe: “Yeah! …Wait, what?!”

David M Willis

I dunno how to "reset" that, as Patreon just changes stuff all the time on a whim and I can't ever stop it. I can recommend never ever ever downloading the app.

Harold

Extremely Guilty Weighted Blanket Head, one of Marvel's least-fondly remembered superheroes

C

Oh, the main site comments are downright magical compared to the Reddit comments...definitely a mistake checking there.

Heatth

The DoA subreddit is very terrible at the momment (or maybe always? I am not checking). But, to be fair, it is a much lower volume of comments.

Heatth

The sad thing is that I think the comment section is pretty alright most of the time. Probably because Willis checks first time commenters to weed out the most obvious problem posters (I assume they still do that anyway). But certain topics are too much I guess.

AE Gonzalez

Joyce certainly blew something.

Astariel

Dammit, Joyce, you had one job!

Grace Serenity

Instructions unclear: put dick in mouth

Ilana Feldman

I just downloaded the app, like, yesterday. I normally check this on desktop. Is this a sign to just back out and delete the app before I ever log into it?

Astariel

Well, I walked right into those.

This is probably the only time I can make this joke in this context so I'm going for it JoJo fans when they see an unsucked weenus:

yeah I only ever saw like 3-4 comments on there

Willis keeps hearting the comments saying this is silly, so either that's confirmation that yall need to have more faith in my boi, or Willis really is a sick sick bastard

crufl

mission accomplished, everyone's happy and we're moving on nothing to worry about

Calder Johnson

Why stop there? Go full Monkey's Polycule: Have neither of them break up with their boyfriends, add Amber/Amazi-Girl (dating Walky and Dorothy respectively), bask in the radiation of the resulting HateLove Fucksplosion

Tom Boucher

Absolutely, the app is evil, and they tried to blame apple for it a few times. Patreon used to be about the creators, now its about squeezing money out of creators and patrons alike and trying to blame each other.

Jeremy AR

Oh like you have no idea

Harold

The Paladins: "Look how they massacred my boy"

Naff

I’m expecting an “I’m not mad I’m just disappointed” from Joe. He really does think the world of her. I’m not sure if I’m expecting more of a “I never deserved you in the first place” or a “I guess you aren’t who I thought you were.” Also not sure which would rip out my soul more.

Sajuuk-Khar

“This must be the work of an enemy Bisexual!”

Jay

A little, Joe got head! Can't be mad at getting head. But also....this makes it much worse lol

Sajuuk-Khar

The list said “talk”, and she did! In a way! That was muffled by the dick in her m—*vaudeville cane’d!!!::

Lia

joyce having such a cool 24 hrs

Mariah

good thing I stopped going on reddit after trump won I just new right wing trolls would be innsufferable. Plus the rampant misogyny of reddit which I can imagine only makes the DOA subreddit worse.

Grace Serenity

Everyone knows that the decisions you make in freshman year are totally set in stone and you NEVER learn nor grow! OBVIOUSLY Joyce can never be redeemed from this. She might as well just get HOMEWRECKER tattooed on her face and resign herself to her fate.

Mariah

I found this comic on the bad webcomics wiki I didn't realize that place was basically anti woke before anti woke was popular but I find it funny that review makes a lot of the same arguments palidins do right now. Basically that joyce should remain "pure" that Willis would ruin her. That Willis was endorsing Billie and Ruth as a good and not toxic relationship. Just a lot of bad faith arguments. What really got me was them saying that Willis dypicted fundies as a "Unrealistic Cartoon Villian" which you know is not true. Growing up homeschooled I met many people like Joyces mom and Beckys dad. So a RUINED article for DOA sort of already exists.

The Deliberate Myth

Gotta put this in before the next strip is revealed. 1. I don't think Dorothy will love the fact that Joyce just gave Joe a bj, but I don't think she is going to lose her shit over it either. I think she knows that she and Joyce are currently the cheaters, and that her whole list was about things they had to do BEFORE they could make their new relationship official. I think she will understand the complexity of things better than some are giving her credit for. That said... I think it will be human nature for her to feel stung. 2. As I said a day or two ago, the major obstacle for Joyrothy to happen comes not from Joe or walky, but from the fact that Joyce and Dorothy haven't even had a moment to talk to each other and actually figure out what they want their new relationship to be. 3. I wouldn't be surprised if part of Dorothy's reaction to the JBJ is to put a stop to Joyrothy. The drama is self inflicted, then compounded by the potential Checkov's Media Coverage reveal that will be hanging over their heads.
