Julia Gray won this month's bonus strip vote, because I guess we still want some Joyce/Dorothy subtext along with our Joyce/Dorothy text!

also there is definitely a bunch of deleted text file accounts of lord jakkar infecting the first gentleman with vampire spores

No wonder people around the college weren’t surprised.

ArdieBea

Definitely stretching that shirt you've stripped off the president, Julia.

Joyce: ...I'm pretty sure my entire reader base realized Julia liked Doris before I realized I liked-er, loved Dorothy...*blushes*

ArdieBea

Gotta say that Julia Gray and co are definitely benefiting from Joyce's life drawing classes.

Smoochie

Really looking forward to that inevitable Joyce & Walky conversation all of a sudden now that Joyce has made it official with Dorothy. I can’t put my finger on why.

Also, does Sal know you're basically writing yourself as her without the accent?

Packy Anderson

... I'm picking up what you're putting down.

David M Willis

Nah, this is the Julia Gray who exists in Joyce's head when she writes prose stories! The same one who existed before Joyce spun her off into her own prequel comic.

Sean Dillon

So it turns out feeling of God deep with Joyce’s very being was homosexuality all along.

Michael Schmidt

I love the possible double meanings of "Now I'm picking up what I was putting down."

Edwin I Callahan

Julia Grey needs to do a crossover with one (or all) of the previous strips, or even this one. I know it would bust the premise of DOA, Then again, the original premise included no deaths, and no changes in sexual orientations…Look, OK, I just liked the sci-fi elements of Roomies, It’s Walky, etc.

SCREAM. HELP. GOD. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. i'm going to print it out and tape it to my art board. fuck

Grace Serenity

Well, now I'm seeing what Daisy was talking about. Yeah, Joyce's subconscious was NOT being subtle

Tessea

It amazes me how she didn't let herself see it for so many months. I wonder if she'll reread the whole comic to see all her own subtext.

Grace Serenity

Pretty much what I said when I accepted I was trans! Brains are weird, yo!

Jesse

Spacewoman Spiff.

GundamBradley

I'd ask how she'd get this in the paper, but I mean, Daisy probably didn't have to be persuaded.

Jesse

Also: Now he’s radioactive! That can’t be good!

Railway Series Book Club

im one of those girls who likes drowning already-cheesy pizza/pasta/etc in extra cheese, so i'm a-okay with a sprinkling of theocratic subtext on top of the theocratic text

Harold

@Smoochie: But Joyce can, amirite? (At least now that she's filed down those nails.)

Smoochie

@Harold ah-hah, I see what you did there. (But really guys, file down your nails for your partner’s sake.)

Harold

@5099 5618: Pretty sure Sal's known that since Halloween, when all she needed to do to become Julia was to put on one of her own jackets

MysteryCow218

I'm trying to figure out what that would even be. A side comic where Yelling Bird does commentary on the main comic?

Tessea

How did I miss that?? c.c

Eli

Oh! I was going to say, her art has really improved. Your art is excellent as always! And actually the style here looks really good.

Astariel

And once again the day is saved by Space Force Captain Julia Gray and the Power of Homoerotic Subtext!

Sajuuk-Khar

Cosmic Eminence more like Julia GAY wait fuck

AE Gonzalez

That last panel all-but-confirms Joyce and Dorothy will be dressing up like Luz and Amity next Halloween.

Dean Reilly

Next comes the bit where Julia Gray removes her own clothes to maximise Doris' exposure to the Cosmic Eminence.

'I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards' - Joyce Brown

5099 5618 v2.0

@Dean Reilly I'm sure there's a diegetic reason for that.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Jesse Dusk Is he also a closeted fighter pilot from the 50s that merged with a negative energy being? Or do I need to read the comic to find out if there are canonical Doom Patrol crossovers?

5099 5618 v2.0

(Mind you, I would not be surprised if the Bureau of Normalcy showed up, at some point)

Shane Wegner

This post nut clarity is strong.

Steezcake_Factory

Julia Gray you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your bitch too bad. They'll kill you

Michael Steamweed

A brilliant work of art! Joyce, you must not dim your shine! Let the Muse take you! (and dorothy, too...definitely her too) :D

Harold

Galasso's Pizza (and Sub[text]s)

Brian Danger Hicks

I think supertext is when you get laughed at and then jumpkicked in the nuts.

Maude Reads Things

XD Well that's pretty indicative I'd say. From the jealousy to the stripping

5099 5618 v2.0

@Josh Whelan Quite right, quite right.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Brian Danger Hicks Then: Ciphertext

5099 5618 v2.0

@Populuxe That's *Captain* G[r]ay to you[1]! [1] - and everyone else, I assume

5099 5618 v2.0

@Steezcake_Factory Doesn't look like she smokes, so it's prolly her licking that's too tough.

5099 5618 v2.0

(Headcannon: Capt. Gray only smokes Keener brand lollipops)

Daibhid Ceannaideach

Aha. Hence the typing font. I was wondering how the strip could have got this far past college already.

Daibhid Ceannaideach

I love how they both agree that it's *obviously* the First Gentleman's own stupid fault he got infected. Probably happened while he was reaching for a packet of Snackitos.

Andrea Andrew

So, is Joyce Luz and Dorothy Amity or the other way around?

AE Gonzalez

Yup Joyce as Luz Dorothy as Amity

5099 5618 v2.0

@Michael Steamweed It waited as long as it could. Almost 15 years, at that.

5099 5618 v2.0

Hang on...is Future POTUS a redhead?

AE Gonzalez

Brunette, *totally* different from Dorothy.

AE Gonzalez

The comic is the college-based prequel, this is the main storyline that only Joyce reads (as far as she knows).

Silas Murray

Well you see its because she breathes uhh. Cosmic air through her skin
