...*bites lip* Holy shit, I think Dorothy might melt into butter after that one.

Stephen Farmer

I really need these two to handle their responsibilities so that I can properly adore their cuteness.

Megh

They're gonna fuck ain't they

Andrea Andrew

I’m reminded of Faye and Bubbles.

Andrea Andrew

So, Joyce’s Freddie Mercury levels

Joyce reminds me of my sister. She was the LAST to know.

Break. Up. With. Your. Boyfriends!

Simon Magid

Leave it to Willis to make an incipient lesbian love affair be so adorable and hurt so terribly at the same time.

NinjaZaku

Girls i am so happy you're exploring your sexualities and finding who you are, but for the love of any gods that might be listening, please break up with the boys first.

Joyce, are you going in for the nibble on Dorothy's ear? We know Dorothy likes to nibble on Walky, and Joyce wants to nibble Joe's butt... Their combined powers might be too strong

The Aphro Chick

Sarah: "For fucks sake, I'm trying to SLEEP!"

Bronxden

So they about to fuck lol

Megh

I strongly maintain that Smug Joyce is Best Joyce

William Lewis

Oh... Yeah. That one was just as cute, wasn't it?

Harold

You have been watching an Amazi-Girl news update. We now return to THAT'S OUR JOYROTHY!, already in progress.

David M Willis

anyway as you can probably determine, i figured i didn't need both this AND the one that became the bonus strip, if i needed the room

Tessea

Awwwww..... Cute _and_ smooth. Go Joyce! Also, clothes are still on, there IS still some self-control happening!

Mariah

back to the disaster bis and that was suprisingly smooth for a not smooth criminal joyce dang.

voyager-ngc5195

Somewhere under Lindley Hall, a scientist of the Kinsey Institute is watching their gaydar re-enact scenes from Akira.

Dan Rabin

Well do I remember the animated Tetris-heart being completed when Faye got the clue.

Lisa

The Tetris was a heart??? Now I'm wondering if I never noticed or forgot. You always notice all the great details, Dan. :)

William Lewis

With everything real since he wrote his buffer, a little more love in the world is what I need to see. I'll take that happily. Thank you, Willis.

Mariah

Joyce is really not beating the top allegations.

GundamBradley

Shirts, yeah, but one or both being pantsless would not be terribly surprising.

William Lewis

I certainly expect so, just can't be sure when.

Corronchilejano

I think she probably stays at Tony's which is why they do this. If not then the morning is going to be extra hilarious.

Heatth

To be perfectly honest, I don't think it makes a difference at this point. Like, they should have done it last night, absolutely. And Joyce in particular shouldn't have given Joe a blowjob without saying anything. But they didn't and I honestly don't think it is any *more* cheating to have some sexy times in bed than to just sleep for the night, in a practical sense. I mean, they might feel extra guilty next morning, but regardless they are already cheating, they are already lying to their boyfriends about it. And they are even already sleeping on the same bed. Like, would Walky or Joe really feel any better if next morning they said "we slept together but did nothing, promise!"? They *should* have talked to the boyfriends yesterday, at the earliest opportunity. But they missed the window of opportunity and it is nightime now, so, whatever, the situation won't become any better if they aren't loving with each other. Ideally next morning they will have the Conversation when they all wake up (well, ideally, chances are they will be found out first).

Dan Rabin

Such a beautiful strip, with the lighting clearly indicating the wee hours, and borderless panels on each end as befits the status of this interlude as a brief excerpt of wakefulness in a long stretch of together-night. This is a nice calm antidote to the times we've seen Joyce and Dorothy bolt awake from nightmares.

William Lewis

You didn't in terms of the structure of the strip and plot continuity, no. But, oh, my heart did.

C

This is definitely the better choice to keep.

Anna Phylaxis

POUR. THIS. INTO. MY. VEINS!!!!!

Anna Phylaxis

ENH, y'know, whenever they get around to it

Megh

Somehing that's been in the back of my head for a while is the question of *when* did Joyce realize she likes Dorothy? I could be very wrong as I'm known to be, but I have a hunch that she realized sometime before the Paramore scene, but of course if not then when exactly? And if I'm right and she did realize before then did she simply not act just to keep up appearances, fear of rejection? I'm sure this will be addressed EVENTUALLY but I'll be an impatient bongo about it in the meantime

Grace Serenity

More like a DBZ scouter going off the scale

Logibear

Well. This is fucking sweet. I can see this going one of two ways. One way has butts and the other has buts...

William Lewis

Objectively? Sure. Subjectively? I am glad I am subscribed so I got the luxury of both.

Railway Series Book Club

Joyce could be a switch, but Dorothy's a bottom, which means Joyce is gonna fuckin get her

GundamBradley

Basically lol like even with Joe, she basically always set the pace and how exactly she'd want things with him, and like Joe, Dorothy doesn't seem to mind. Given she's the big spoon with Dorothy and the small spoon with Joe, at least they know their spots if a throuple proves possible.

Alison Berry

I am so confused by anyone who feels this is sudden. I remember when I finally came out as bi in my late 20s and my entire peer group went "Yeah we know" -- that is exactly what's waiting for Joyce. Sad for Joe but if his transformation only hinged on Joyce then it wasn't a real transformation anyway!

Dan Rabin

My construction of Joyce's attitude is that non-adoration of Dorothy is unthinkable to her, and has been almost since they first met. Joyce has learned many things about how her new-ish social situation regards affection and sexual desire, and she has reworked her definitions and self-identification around the fixed pole of Dorothy so that she gracefully accepts definitions that were formerly foreign to her. I think it's *especially* influential that Dorothy herself has had a change in identifying her desires, and has introduced them into her relationship with Joyce.

5099 5618 v2.0

It can be quite calm, in the eye of a storm.

Heatth

I was just about the post that! We got to see Dorothy's epiphany but not Joyce's. Upon reread I do suspect it might have been during the Paramore scene? At least *something*. I mean, she was the one who took the initiative for the almost kiss, and was blushing and hesitant when Dorothy rejected it. More interesting, the next day she went to Dorothy's room to talk "non-Dorothy sex stuff! About non-Dorothy". She ended up talking about Joe related sex stuff with Becky, but her wording does imply she wanted to talk with Dorothy about it. Of course, after the almost kiss she still went to the date with Joe anyway and it is not like she didn't enjoy herself. No indication she was thinking about Dorothy the whole time. Also, when she *did* meet with Dorothy to address the Paramore event she bought Dorothy's trama rationalization and provided her own horny based rationalization. But after that she still proposed to go have sex with Dorothy ("do laundry") so... I am rambling a bit, but I think Joyce realized an attraction when listening to Paramore with Dorothy, but was still kinda confused about what it meant (specially because Dorothy kept trying to downplay it). But then at the protest she realized Dorothy's feelings for her and went for it.

Heatth

At any rate I do want to see Joyce talk about it more explicitly. I am really looking forward to seeing her properly unpack being queer.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Tessea Fewer clothes for Joyce, at least. She's missing her long-sleeve, striped shirt, at minimum.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Anna Phylaxis Or not? There is a nonzero chance this ends up being a John Redcorn/King of the Hill situation. (To be clear: it's not what I'm hoping for. But it's not impossible, either.)

Heatth

Yeah. It will probably be a surprise to her friend group that she cheated on Joe, but not that she cheated with Dorothy. Pretty much everybody saw that coming. I imagine it will annoy Joyce to keep hearing "yeah we know" from everyone. (I also think some of the girls in the dorm might legit thing the two were dating already)

Dahlia Rose

YES. This. If Joe's transformation is only because of Joyce and he'll turn back to his old ways immediately after their break up then it was never real.

5099 5618 v2.0

Well, at least the laptop's secured. I was concerned, for a bit.

Maude Reads Things

Damn, Joyce is smooth when she wants to be. Dorothy, come on, you said you were done dating virgins :P

5099 5618 v2.0

@BBCC Joyce is a walking event horizon, when it comes to Dorothy.

Uniquitous

Repeatedly, and with great intensity.

Railway Series Book Club

oh yeah, i guess the common parlance is Nibble rather than Bite huh i just spent the weekend with a girl who prefers capital-B Biting, so my normality barometer is a bit off ig

Logibear

I don't think his transformation is Joyce-Specific at all. However, I do feel like his transformation did hinge on the fact that he wouldn't be getting cheated on after he finally opened himself up to someone. And the fact that it was on literally his first attempt is what might cause some very real drama for him

Joeblow

I...dont know... if he completely changed his beliefs and values and then was immediately rewarded by being cheated on i can see how that might cause him to backslide.

Joeblow

Dorothy is going to impregnate joyce?!

Megh

"Repeatedly and with great intensity" would make a half decent slipshine title

Vivian

We definitely see things click when she defines sex in a way that includes doing laundry with Dorothy

Kelly (they-them)

By certain definitions, Joyce has had sex with Joe 3 times and Dorothy once. Dorothy is finally going to date a nonvirgin

Kelly (they-them)

I'm always concerned about how bespeckled tuck away their glasses when they go to sleep. There's a bunch of stripes where they're just folded up without a case right on the bed - that's not good glasses care!

Elizabeth

*takes notes* I doubt I’ll ever be in either position, but you know, for science!

5099 5618 v2.0

@Joeblow I suspect that's where the metaphor breaks down. (But then, what do I know? I'm not in charge, around here)

5099 5618 v2.0

@MrShoggoth Dorothy is a Spanish genius?

5099 5618 v2.0

@Kelly (they-them) if we count the laundry room as one complete instance, I suspect J&D are up to twice at a minimum.

Kelly (they-them)

Willis is really good at giving readers what they want in the worst way possible

Kelly (they-them)

@5099, I'm counting the laundry room as one complete instance. Unless Sarah ended up leaving the room, I doubt they'd have gone beyond making out prior to this. We'll see soon tho how intimate they ended up being

5099 5618 v2.0

@Kelly (they-them) Truth. (I would be surprised if Sarah hadn't dipped out after turbo-squinting at them, mind you)

Kelly (they-them)

This is such a sweet strip. I love it. I remember years ago, Willis did a sort pin up week of all the main characters at the time. For Joyce's, she was in the laundry room with Sarah (not holding hands) sitting on top of a dryer, fully or mostly dressed, with wide eyes. It was WAY less risqué than any of the other pin ups. Dina's was her fully clothed and explaining possible mating rituals of dinosaurs. If I recall correctly, aside from humor, Willis did chaste pinups for them because he had trouble imagining them being sexual. Now Dina and Joyce are both non-virgin tops

Reverend Jundas

I don't know anyone who has a glasses case unless they are trying to make their sunglasses a whole thing.

Astariel

Aww, Joyce. You're such a sweetie.

Kelly (they-them)

I mean, I've never asked my friends who wear glasses if they use cases, but I've always assumed they did.

Tessea

Well that would just be _too_ warm, right? Completely logical and practical!

ArdieBea

Ex-vangelical, here. Terms like, 'changed his beliefs and values' and 'backslide' will always come across as contaminated by modernist Christian theology. Can we talk instead about Joe (and his peers) 'developing', 'Maturing', 'Exploring themselves and their lives together'? The idea that you gotta be converted by signing up to a new set of 'beliefs and values' from which you might 'backslide' is just... inhuman.

Dan Rabin

I just looked again, and I noticed the fitness-watches on both their visible non-dominant wrists: Dorothy's right wrist and Joyce's left wrist. Their handednesses are long-established—it's just nice how well the detail works in the overall tableau.

ArdieBea

'Let the nations rage...' I love that in the turmoil of everything - including their angst for their boyfriends - they get this. We get this. This IS what it's about. I was so glad that Joyce and Joe became a thing, for both their sakes. But there's no way I can ignore that Dorothy always has been and always will be the ground zero of Joyce's metamorphosis into a woman free to love as she chooses. And a brief, sweet moment like this is a potent (i.e. massively oxytocin-inducing) reminder of the goodness that they're all struggling towards, one way or another.

Simon Magid

But does either of them have Butts Disease? o.o

Amós Batista

I'm smiling like a silly idiot, I confess

MrShoggoth

I was thinking more “HAVE YOU MET ME?” but that works too

Jeremy AR

You can do it now if you are not a coward!

Jasmijn Wellner

willis giveth and willis taketh away, but for now i'm happy that willis gaveth us this

Ste Saunders

At night I just put my glasses on the bedside table. I wouldn't trust them not to get rolled onto or just lost in the bed, and on the table they're safe enough without being in a case. I do have a case, which is usually for if I'm traveling somewhere and wearing contact lenses but want my glasses with me as well.

Ste Saunders

(obviously these two are lacking a bedside table)

Jasmijn Wellner

I have cases (came with the glasses) but in practice i just put down my glasses on my dresser or right there on the bed

Sajuuk-Khar

No!! It’s just a trauma response!!!!

Sajuuk-Khar

Wait a minute!!!!!! You’re saying that Joyce and Dorothy are GAY?????? For EACH OTHER?????????? Really stretching BELIEVABILITY, WILLIS!!!!!!!!

Sajuuk-Khar

As a glasses-haver since forever, Kelly, I regret to inform you that I do not ever use a case, at all

Sajuuk-Khar

I mean, she said previously, I think in the buildup to The Only Exception, that her feelings for Dotty constituted “wanting to be her” in the least platonic way possible without just going “yeah I’m bisexual” sooooooo

Sajuuk-Khar

AS I FORETOLD, AS WAS WRITTEN

Sajuuk-Khar

Excuse you, Joyce is going to impregnate Dorothy, which is how Joe knows there’s nothing going on and stays awkward good friends with her while being married to Joyce (That would be the stupidest and most funny domestic situation for this to end up as)

ArdieBea

Know what's really sending me? Their right hands clasped together; they're still holding hands!

William Lewis

And Dorothy's other arm tucked back behind pulling Joyce closer... That's just as beautiful a cuddle as it gets.

Grace Serenity

It's Willis. They ALL have Butts Disease.

ArdieBea

Made a little more so, I think, because it's just a little uncomfortable for both - the reaching under for Joyce, the reaching back for Dorothy. But worth it.

Grace Serenity

This is a similar feeling to my bi-weekly estrogen shot!

Grace Serenity

You can't just write a fanfic and call it prophesy! d:

KittyKai

Nah I don't believe it. They are very clearly gal pals doing totally straight gal pal things Definately Totally Absolutely x3

Maybeeus

The Dorothy blush in the last panel... I almost missed it.

etherealDesign

go in for the neck bite, Joyce, just like you saw on twilight!

MrShoggoth

Agreed. I'm writing a novel where one of the main characters is gay, so I guess that makes me an expert on the topic. These two are clearly really good friends doing completely hetero things.

Harold

Willis has done multiple Slipshines, and has a whole other Patreon dedicated to NSFW images of his characters. But panel 5 here may be the single most erotic thing Willis has ever drawn.

William Lewis

Possible. Or the last frame of the 2nd bonus of July...

tifani

She wasn’t allowed to watch those movies

zee

God they are so clingy lol. I don't mean that as a bad thing it's cute, I just don't think I've seen a clingier cuddle in my life

zee

The hand hold, the hug back (dot no you're gonna kill your shoulder) the chin over the shoulder, the chokehold on dots waist. If they hug any tighter they're gonna fuse

Rob McBobson

Me, I used to bring a case until I got contact lenses.

Harold

@zee: Together 2: The Keener-Brown Connection

Harold

I have worn glasses since I was 7 years old, and I have always, always used a case. I can't even imagine just leaving my glasses out overnight.

Smoochie

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.

Stephen Farmer

Oh, I’m still adoring it! I just have this little asterisk attached to it.

Smoochie

I feel like the trauma of cheating or being cheated on, the most prevalent worry that is the foundation of Joe’s worst and best traits makes it a real transformation—full backslide or not.

Heatth

Pretty sure it was established she was a fan early on. Though I think that might have been sliding timeline'd away.

Heatth

I agree with Smoochie. Joe's cheating-based divorce trauma is very fundamental to Joe. The fear he is just like his dad is what made him avoid real romantic relationships for so long and why him being willing to try with Joyce was such a big deal. Joe feared he was fated to cheat eventually, or to fuck up the relationship in some way. The fact he was cheated *on*, despite honestly doing literally nothing wrong might break him. I do think a backslide is possible, in a "and now Joe became the Joker" kind of way. If even the purest most ray of sunshine girl can cheat maybe all relationships are fake, nothing matter, might as well go back to just being an uncaring fuck machine. I do hope the opposite though, that a relationship falling apart while he was fully innocent make him realize that is what he can be. He doesn't need to be the villain, he can pursuit other romantic relationships without fearing he will destroy them.

tifani

I mean she could have easily binged them in the past two months (and yet somehow has avoided Taylor Swift).

Vivian

This strip is so sweet, it's almost enough to make me forget that Soggies May Rule!

5099 5618 v2.0

@Smoochie "Children know the truth Love is not an emotion Love is behavior"

Railway Series Book Club

yknow i have seen a bunch of people concerned about the relationship on the grounds that Dorothy is too possessive of Joyce, but not a lot of people saying that seem to remember that Joyce is *even more possessive* of Dorothy??? like, i could easily see Dorothy raising concerns about her being too codependent on Joyce and Joyce being like "literally why would that be a problem. i'm going to start biting at your clavicle now"

zee

Joyce has been like, toxic friend levels of possessive since the start lol. Like she's lucky walky and Dot weren't actually bothered by her jealousy bc in another situation that would have been a big "park your butt and listen to the boundaries or else" conversation. One sided possessiveness isn't the problem here, they're codependent as shit lol

zee

Tbf she made sure to take care of that pesky virginity before they started dating

Albi

I've a partner we are definitely a pair of cuddle bugs. This? So accurate.

Helena Antonia

Ah, you've not been in my bedroom then. I will spoon or be spooned but either way we snugged up (including playing footsie into the bargain).

Helena Antonia

The Twilight movies could double as fundie propaganda (One True Love, no biting until marriage, creepy possessive controlling hubby is TRES HOT), so Joyce being a fan tracks.

Ria

I literally have been reading this comic for the past 13 years all for this moment right here 🥹🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Helena Antonia

Another data point: have never used a case, pass out wearing them all the time, fling them off the bed or sofa when I start to make out with someone, never caring where they went. I am heavily astigmatic, and yes, I lose them due to this all the time, and no, I'm not changing (it's been 32 years at this point).

5099 5618 v2.0

@Alison Berry Anything can seem sudden to those who haven't been paying attention. Also: sometimes people are wrong.

Helena Antonia

"If even the purest most ray of sunshine girl can cheat " - objectifying folks in this way is part of why people "break". Joyce is human, not a beam of light, and don't even get me started on the subjective and ultimately disgusting concept of "pure".

zee

I think if I tried to cuddle my partner like that 1. My poor damaged shoulder tendons would let loose from my skeletal-muscular system to strangle me in my sleep for revenge, and 2. I would simply slip out and fall on the floor in an ocean of sweat

etherealDesign

she was allowed to watch some secular movies. she specifically references Twilight and The Parent Trap, off the top of my head, in the first couple of chapters (while talking about her date with joe)

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

I was more riffing on Joyce’s already demonstrated…skill at subtle, definitely-not-overthought-and-therefore-overdone intimate physical contact 😁

tifani

I would love to enjoy this but I can’t. I need them to be caught already. Dragging it out is KILLING me and I feel bad for Joe in a way that has made me realize I like him more than I thought I did. I feel bad for Walky too to a lesser extent but I think he’s going to be way less blindsided. He has Jennifer’s questions and Dorothy’s odd behavior to have him already suspicious. Idk maybe it won’t be completely out of nowhere for Joe given that he actually confronted Dorothy about it. I think Joyce doing this might through him off. I think both the boys have put the girls on pedestals though.

Harold

@GundamBradley: Your second paragraph sounds very much like the way Sierra described her polycule's sleeping arrangements to Joyce in a bonus strip. (Except that I don't think Dorothy and Joe will be snuggling with each other any time in the near or far future.)

Heatth

Exactly Helena. To me that was always the most uncomfortable aspect of Joe's and Joyce's relationship, even Roz called Joe on his puritanical mindset. And, honestly, I do think he was working with Joyce to deconstruct that mentality, it was something their relationship could have overcome with time, I think. But I also think that this image being forcefully broken might have an effect.

Kyle

A few years back, I said something like, "I could read about these characters exchanging old character flaws for new ones, forever," and it still holds true. It isn't until this late in the game that I realize how important it is that they ARE cheating. The structure of this strip requires that every new character development generate new forms of conflict. That means one of two things: the pairing itself must be toxic somehow, or it must come with circumstantial complications and drama. The soft infidelity (they weren't in committed relationships, much less engaged or married!) is a best-case scenario for these characters. It keeps tension in the storyline while allowing the love between them to remain pure and true. Even moreso than how they disentangle or reconcile their relationships with the boys, I'm eager to see how the pairing evolves once that immediate problem finds resolution. If these two are all but--or literally!--married, how does Willis feature their relationship in interesting ways without compromising its integrity? I have no idea. All I know is that 9 Chickweed Lane has provided him with three decades of instruction in what not to do.

Sajuuk-Khar

Do not blaspheme against my far future, Harold :< I know the near future outlook is nothing but anguish but I will not give up my dream

Sajuuk-Khar

What if instead of becoming a fuck machine again, Joe swears off sex, converts to Catholicism, and joins the priesthood, what then, Joe fans And then what if he dyes his hair white and gains a Stand and it turns out Asher is a vampire and oh no this is just JJBA evil yaoi

Railway Series Book Club

Yeah turns out there was a clerical error on his birth certificate and his name is actually supposed to be Joe Josenthal, funny that

Ilana Feldman

Well, as they say, the greater the (gay/bi) pride, the harder they fall.

Alexandra Falk

Voted on the new poll on the main site. (POLL SPOILERS) - - - I'm astonished that "this is a comic strip, they are not real, [who cares beyond the ability to tell and enjoy a compelling story]" is only at 9%. (but the 30% in the 'they're horny college freshman category' is saying essentially the same thing.)

Maybeeus

Hoping this is the start of a running gag of Joyce coming out to everyone...

Morgan Byrd

Can't wait for Dorothy to start writing sesquipedalian poetry about Joyce's gams and reciting it in front of their creepy children

Kelly (they-them)

I voted for, "Cheating is evil and makes me like Joyce/Dorothy more" because I thought it was funny. My genuine choice would be the horny college freshman idiots one

Harold

An even better running gag would be Joyce coming out to everyone, and each one replying, "Aaannnddd...?"

Sajuuk-Khar

Really more Enrijoe Pucci, but then again I’ve realized that actually DIO should be more Jacob and he’s already started dying his hair golden…🤔

Daniel S

That's cute! And uh I hope you/we aren't crushed by the eventual resolution!

Kyle

Relatable! That was also my backup plan when I figured I'd never be President.
