"Unlike Becky's, MY Dorothy binder is VERY FULL"

MrShoggoth

Who was predicting Dorothy would get stage fright?

Joey245

Oh my god Joyce you can't be this cute my heart is gonna explode Also of course Dorothy would consider Wikihow a valid research resource XD

Ria

They make me feel like my brain is in a juice squeezer configured for serotonin

"Yeah, I mean, me having a crush on you should have been obvious to everyone. Me and you included..."

Rob McBobson

Okay, this is the first time I've seen a lovemaking scene fade to black (sort of) and then fade right back again to being-visible-ness. O_o

LupinThe8th

I'm told there is reference material available on the internet.

darklion

Dorothy is ELATED. You know the way to her heart, Joyce.

GundamBradley

It's not my top ship, like there have been couples I have been more invested in, but, I do feel like we've really built up to this. I am happy seeing these two explore this.

Edwin I Callahan

So Joyce will become the Bosworth to Dorothy’s Samual Johnson?

Empress of Robots

I SEE THAT HAND TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN GOING UP DOROTHY'S SHIRT OR DOWN HER PANTS!

Railway Series Book Club

"oh god oh fuck i need to google how to eat pussy and make a set of cue cards" and "i can effortlessly quote back to you every emotionally resonant thing you've ever said" on the same fucking page. good lord

Joyce: “Well, I suspect Joe knows how to do it with a woman. Maybe if I could convince him to join us, or something.”

Megh

Okay they about to fuck cool cool yeah yeah Joyce's last line "I have had a bit of a crush on you" once again implies she's known she likes Dorothy for a while and just hasn't acted on it How long have you been holding on to this Joyce!!!! I need to know!!!!

AE Gonzalez

Perfect teaching threesome: Joe shows Dorthy how to properly eat pussy. Dorothy directs Joyce of how to give a good blowjob.

Noelle Eve Palmer

been trying to decipher why Dorothy and Joyce's relationship deepening hasn't clicked with me (which feels weird, as a queer woman who's been rooting for these two to get together for the past however many years) and I think this made a key part snap into focus: it feels like once both of them got over the hill of acknowledging their Whole Thing they erased a decade and change of internalized homophobia on the spot?

Kelly (they-them)

Damn, Joyce, why not top the readers while you're at it, too? I can scarcely believe Joyce has the capacity to be so damn smooth. She's like a fuckin shark

Empress of Robots

Which is ABSURD because my headcanon is that Dorothy had to teach both Walky AND Danny on how to find the clit. She just needs to apply her lessons from the past on herself!

Maybeeus

Dorothy ultimately has no real idea what to do here as she's never had "Lesbian sex" but you know who HAS had "Lesbian sex"? HERE'S A TECHNIQUE SHE LEARNED FROM JOE!!!

Logibear

"Madam President?, the floor is yours" "Two Score and Seven years ago I had to AskJeeves how to fuck my wife... wait, sorry that's a whole other speech."

Gale Tazzin

Dorothy: I DON'T HAVE ANY NOTES FOR THIS Joyce: *consults mental rolodex*

Kelly (they-them)

Do you think Dorothy researched how to have penis-in-vagina sex before she and Danny first had intercourse? Do you think she looked it up in WikiHow? Maybe she read some Cosmo magazine articles

Logibear

"I'll try spinning, that's a neat trick"

Noelle Eve Palmer

like, I'm not saying I want Joyce to have to wrestle with her inner demons about being gay, but it's all felt a little too clean for my tastes! Joyce is someone with a lot of residual baggage and it seems like that should have come up more!

Harold

"No, please continue, I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd rather hear this one"

5099 5618 v2.0

Kissing is great, tho. (But yeah, sure. Maybe get out the laptop and do a few searches. Or get the latest edition of "The Guide To Getting It On", or whatever is the manual of choice for your age group)

AE Gonzalez

Hell, that was confirmed with Joe.

Railway Series Book Club

joyce please for the love of god infodump about you realized you love your wife!!!!!!

Harold

@AE Gonzalez: Well, Joyce has already *done* the latter, and I doubt Joe was unsatisfied

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

she spent like five months lapsing out of this cult, she's bored of having baggage and wants to fuck her wife. i think every recovering closet case gets here eventually

Doki

OMG I actually think that describes her huge shift in mindset this semester perfectly! "She's bored of having baggage." Sometimes it kinda is actually like that (speaking from personal experience here BTW).

Dan Rabin

The full-bodies shot in panel 2 complements the dialogue: it shows Joyce's left hand poised to go beyond kissing. Without the wide shot, the strip would be an elegant sequence of framings of their two heads, but it would be less clear that Joyce is determined to get Dorothy to overcome her reluctance. That reluctance has itself been clear over many strips, but we finally get Dorothy to say what's bugging her—she's always been the knowledgeable, prepared partner (as on Laundry Day), and she hadn't updated these feelings in light of Joyce's growth.

Harold

"I *am* the Dorothy binder now... I mean, I *can* be, if you're into that"

Rob McBobson

Okay, let's all place our (figurative) bets! How long until they actually have Done The Deed? How many days' worth of strips from today does everyone think? (And by "Done The Deed" I mean they're shown post-coitus, or they're completely unambiguously having sex.) My guess is one week from now.

Andrea Andrew

So romantic. They’re both figuring it out.

voyager-ngc5195

Empty your mind and become one with the laundry machine, Dorothy. Also, pretty sure Joyce has been primed on a hair trigger for hours at this point anyway, the technique doesn't need to be good it just needs to exist.

Bronxden

Joyce becoming more of the top in this dynamic has been an interesting direction lol

Kelly (they-them)

Dorothy, age 16, furiously taking notes in health class, carefully diagramming how to roll a condom onto a banana

Rob McBobson

I know this is off-topic so it's fine if Willis chooses a path of deletion, but... could anyone recommend me some music? I'm running out of good stuff. Nothing in English, and nothing from the last fifteen years or so (my brain can't handle new-sounding stuff), but apart from that, absolutely any music at all in any language at all. Oh, and the English-thing is because we already get so much English-language music in my country that we never hear any of the music in other languages. It's not a diss. :)

Logibear

@Kelly (they-them) I suspect she still has the diagram somewhere.

@Kelly (they-them) Willis topped us all long ago, I suspect.

Smoochie

Can we discuss that? Because up to this point Dorothy has seemed to always feel like she wants to lead and handhold Joyce through new things and dynamics but THIS is something that Joyce is happy to take the lead on and with certainty.

ArdieBea

Joyce's recall of what Dorothy said is a sweet affirmation of her love and appropriate for the moment and a lovely reflection of the reversal of their roles, but it's also harking back to that night with Joe; effectively bringing him into the room. I hate to be the one now talking about him, but... might Joyce actually be about to go there?

Tessea

Okay, When did Joyce get so smooth? These two are still cute and I love this, but I'm really expecting an interruption any second.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Tessea Fear not. That expectation merely means you are still sane.

Elizabeth

My brain continues to be broken by gay overload from this :)

Maybeeus

Danny wasn't actually her first. It was some other schmuck either being the guy Dorothy first for real kissed or someone we have never heard of before except in one passing line where she mentions having slept with three different people in her life. Danny did mention it taking years for their relationship to reach a point where they had sex though which is wild but maybe there's more to the story we haven't heard yet or i just forgot...

William Lewis

Oh Dorothy, don't worry. If you're both having fun when you're making love then, really there isn't anything "wrong"...

Kelly (they-them)

Oh, for real? Wow, I didn't remember that. Haha, maybe I'll take notes the next time I do an archive binge. I'm playing this off for humor, but I have sincerely considered that before

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

I’m just imagining the janky mess of clipart that might be found on a “How To Be Gay” Wikihow page and snort-giggling to myself

Sajuuk-Khar

Dorothy: “how is lesbian babby formed how is lesbian babby formed how Joyce get me pragnent”

Sajuuk-Khar

Dorothy: Joyce how do you feel about our firstborn being named Lumberjack

Sajuuk-Khar

As Joyce has been working on de-stigmatizing sex and sexual behavior for herself, she’s really been able to kind of groove with it as an interest, it seems, and in an act of defiance to Ryan’s traumatic bullshit (and also to Evangelical Death Cult expectations) she’s really found control of her sexuality and sexual situations to be her Thing, she’s enjoying the power (in a healthy way!!) And honestly like, it’s wonderful to see Dorothy just let go, because so much of her “teacher persona”/service top vibe seems like it’s tied to people-pleasing and putting herself on the “role model” pedestal, like, she is Dotty and she has to know everything or what good is she really? And Joyce is like you’re Dotty no matter what, binch

Jesse

Wait, since when?

Sajuuk-Khar

Joe, torn in half by a horrible heterosexual knight thing or whatever: Joyce…! Here…my ultimate technique!! Take it!!! Make…it…yours!!!! (Yes this is a motherfucking Jojo reference)

Morgan Byrd

Of course it would be softball

Sajuuk-Khar

She is in fact finally dating a non-virgin lmao

MrShoggoth

I had to question friends about what a “lesbian disaster” was a while back, wikihow barely helped at all

Ragtime

What just "wing it"? Why not just show up in a bathrobe, farting?!

Zesstra

I've posted before that I won't be surprised if it turns out that she talked to Bryan about it when she took Ethan to the group meet for questioning individuals. She had a bit of time with Bryan while Ethan and Danny were talking; she'd already had a gay panic; she was starting on her path of trying to accept the homosexuality of her friends and could be trying to grapple with her own feelings. We have seen that Bryan and Jim are coming back from bsky posts, so that's my theory.

Logibear

Joyce has been extremely smooth in this strip and the one where they were talking about belonging up here... the comedy writer in me is bracing for what will come in the next strip (Rule of Three and all)

5099 5618 v2.0

@Empress of Robots You mean like villain from The Flash?

Anna K

Dorothy suddenly realising that she doesn't want to do *this* deed *right now* would be a very nice parallel to Joe & Joyce's most recent date (https://www.dumbingofage.com/2025/comic/book-15/04-the-only-exception/foryou/). And especially fun for drama if Joyce then brings up "oh, this reminds me of when Joe fingered me last night!", either followed by "btw, he wants to share!" or just by Dorothy's reaction to that initial sentence.

@QueenOfSodor - She kind of did that before with Becky and everyone got real mad at her.

Astariel

Panel 3 is so Dorothy. I can relate. Love Joyce reassuring her. Joyce's utter confidence throughout this whole arc has just been wonderful.

Jasmijn Wellner

i'm vibrating with joy also other things, but mainly joy

Is there such a thing as safe Beyblading? Didn’t those things fucking like, blow up skyscrapers in their series?

Harold

@Sajuuk-Khar: I like the implication that even Dorothy Keener, of all people, would be so lust-flummoxed that she would start misspelling words while doing searches

Harold

@Amos Batista: "...Step inside" No, wait, Joy Division would kind of kill the mood here. Although "Atrocity Exhibition" is probably some main-site commenters' new nickname for the comic.

zee

Whoops, should scrolled longer before giving yp

zee

I don't necessarily agree with this point specifically, it actually feels pretty in character for semester 2 Joyce. But "too clean for my taste" is a good descriptor for them. They fit together too smoothly, they're not nervous enough for me. Too comfortable. I like more discomfort, more friction, clumsiness. They skipped the baby's first toddle and went into a full blown perfect form sprint that would make any umamusume cry

zee

Not really, it's possible to retroactively realize you've had a crush for a long time

Dan Rabin

Good catch, but undressing Dorothy is Joyce's job, no?

Megh

@zee: i mean yes of course, but idk i just get the vibe she's known for longer for some reason i suppose i could be totally off base tho

Tesset

Yeah, I've definitely specifically *not* wikihowed how to be a lesbian, in a way that honestly would have just been more normal if I hadn't avoided it :P

etherealDesign

insanely ominous to me that they haven't simply had their fade to black yet.

Logibear

They legit did. And then the sheer power of their gayness dragged the narrative back to them.

ArdieBea

That's B'Jennifer, isn't it? Can you remember when?

ArdieBea

I think both are true; I think she's had a crush on Dorothy *almost* from their first meeting, and it was later that she started processing that consciously, so Megh's question stands - at what point did she become aware that her feelings were romantic, even erotic, and allow herself to own them? I love the suggestion that a conversation with Bryan and Jim started things off. I can sort of see her thinking, "So if someone like Ethan likes boys and that's gay, and so is Becky liking girls, and that's ok, then, how do we know when it's gay and it's just, like friends? Like, I know I love Becky but it's not like I *Love* love her, and I love Sarah like a big sister, and I love Dorothy like... huh. What is that like?"

Ragtime

No it is a Dorothy quote, she was talking with Jenny though. It was right when Joyce was first getting her birth control.

Genevieve

She double checked her surveillance footage

Sajuuk-Khar

It’s an instance where Dorothy had such intense Liz Lemon energy that I legit thought this was a 30 Rock bit
