Any chance we can get the normal size strip back?

Dean Reilly

So, who's 'Rifle Tattoos'? Is it Guns?

Theo Jakiemów

Aww, peperkoeken hartje! (gingerbread heart)

Ian Bindley

...is that "desperate chubby cheerleader"?

Simon Magid

You know. I'm fifty years old and in my teens anything like today's smartphones' ability to communicate was still a dream in the mind of a few visionaries. But this strip just made me think of a few situations where I'd have loved to be able to get in touch with a friend like that, back then. Admittedly, my parents were pretty good at driving me crazy. :/

Spencer

Called it.

Strangeshapes

Ahoy, mateys! The ship has been sighted! Yar!

Andrew

If only the last name on the list had inferred Mary, that would have stolen the punchline!

Packy Anderson

Of COURSE Joe has an app for rating women.

Cerberus

He's mentioned it before: <a href="http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/prediction/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/prediction/</a> He also publishes it online and encourages fellow members of his school to subscribe to it. Which is why I'm really hopeful for this friendship's continued growth and the evolution it prompts in him, because previously it's stuff like this that really hammers home what an immense piece of shit he's been.

Cerberus

You did and I think you're right on the reason too. She's off his sexual radar, which allows him to relax his "unf alpha male ya guise!" persona and actually be civil and real. Now if he can only translate these skills back towards women he is "hunting", he can start building himself to be the type of sexually confident polyamorous guy women want to be around rather than the sort of numbers-and-game-obsessed Ed Hardy tee proto-PUA he's been so far this comic.

Spencer

Yeah, I'm absolutely convinced that what allowed Joe to go forward with helping out Joyce right now is that she's off his sexual radar, as well as being direct in what she wants from him. I mean, we've seen that Dorothy and Amazi-Girl don't work in this, because he was making plans for them immediately after Danny broke up with the former, and while the latter was still dating him. He's being forced to recognize Joyce as a human being.

Bagge

Oh, you can just see his thoughts raising. "There will be feels, there will be feels, there will be feels, I don't even want to do her, there will be feels, I'm just going to say no, there will be feels... I said yes.. WHY DID I SAY YES?????"

Bagge

And just a six. Ouch, Life is NOT sparing Billie any punches.

Doc Brown

Ok, the laws of romcom say these two are totally going to bang. The laws of Willis are skewed, however, but I still ship it.

Lisa

I read it as "desperate nearby cheerleader," just saying he'd have sex with anyone hot enough to be a cheerleader, close enough to be practical, and desperate enough to be interested. Now that I see your answer, I think you're right. Especially because, for all his objectifying women, one consistent positive quality has been his firm stance on consent, and preying on the desperate wouldn't fit into that. Nor would he feel that someone would need to be desperate to want him.

Captain Button

Only now noticing the implication that he doesn't like to talk to women he still wants to bang. Or considers it unwise. Hmmm...

Cerberus

Yup. Yup. One of many reasons I am so happy for his character growth.

Francisco

Presumably, it's a reference to Guns, a member of the Fanservice Squad from "It's Walky!" (which also included Marcie, Sierra, Grace and Mandy). Guns is the only member of that squad who didn't make the jump to Dumbing of Age.

Spencer

Guns will not be denied her rightful place as Agatha's notorious bitchwad roommate.

Dean Reilly

Throwing herself at Danny probably cost her points.

Shane

I like how he spelled it "Desperate by Cheer-leader" instead of "Desperate Bi Cheerleader" unless the By does not indicate bi-racial. Also, poor Billie. Only a Six.

Shane

...live long and prosper

Fred Baker

I'd wager it's "Desperate Chubby Cheerleader." You know. Billie.

Airyu

I wonder where you place on the list

Tiago Quintana

Is there a version of this strip with better resolution?

Skylark Landing

Any way to view this strip larger? I can't really read it.

Macareux Moine

No, but I can offer you a transcript (now that I got the book): Joyce: Hey, it's me. Joyce: Ha ha ha ha I'm at home with my parents and i'm going crazy ha ha ha will you talk to me [Jo]e Rosen[thal's] "Do" List [T]ype [Pas]sword: [de]sperate [chub]by cheerleader | six churchy blonde | zero-minus riffle tattoos | Joe: Okay, but only because I don't care about you at all. Joyce: Your autocorrect's acting up.
