He’s less about insulting and more about pissing people off. His lack of insulting has obviously pissed you off (maybe, not really?), so he’s done his job. 🙂
He’s not mute per se, but he realised that he can be even more of a dick by pretending to have a disability and then suddenly disabusing everyone of the notion at the same time. Until he does, he will only communicate in semaphore.
No i’m fairly sure that machete’s parallel isn’t DoA cause i’m fairly sure his had seme,the martians, head alien,ect. Also would people lol or curse willis’ name at the sky if he were to pull dannyxjoyce
I think the pairings ending up as different from previous canon would be alright, or at least make sense. These people, while they have traits and appearances in common with the other universe, appear to largely not have the same amount of damage (if aliens are absent, the no childhood abduction/superpower trauma). IE Sal didn’t see her parents die in front of her, didn’t cling to Danny and Mary during High School b/c he paid attention to her = different Sal who may come to love Danny for who he is and he may love her for who she is.
I’m all for non-previous-universe-canon pairings. They may be different, but I feel it should be expected.
I’m going to place my bet on it not only happening in the same panel, but somehow Mr. Willis will make it happen at the same TIME, like Sal will break through Mike’s first speech bubble or something. Mostly because he was the one who told us to take bets.
I love panel two so much. There was both talk of violence, and someone getting pissed off nearly to the point of current violence– Mike isn’t just leaning into that panel, he’s leaning into that panel hard.
At the risk of sounding serious in this humorous thread….Thank you David. I’ve dealt with asshole bully RA’s before. So having Joyce point it out like that is AWESOME to me.
In other news: I’m waiting for Galasso to show up as the propietor of the Campus Store. Or maybe Reagan as the Dean!
Mike and Walky are the best roommates ever. Mike is, well, Mike, and Walky is laid-back and teasing enough that Mike would inwardly smirk at his comebacks and Walky would love making fun of Mike.
I’m actually concerned my strip might not pass the Bechdel test for Dudes. You’ve already seen the only times two dudes talk to each other in the first couple of months of the strip, and it was about a chick!
Really? When I was younger and some of my classmates used that word derogatory, they normally mean it in a “you’re not a real man” type of a way, not that the person in question really was into dudes.
Loading ...
Is Mike some sort of Mute? He’s had four appearances and hasn’t insulted anyone.
Maybe someone’s mom was so dry it gave him cotton mouth.
The mum was yours.
(I’m so glad I got that insult in first).
Thanks, man. You almost made me spit out my coffee 😀
I’m wondering where he was yesterday, since he wasn’t visible. Doing someone’s mom?
He’s ALWAYS doing someone’s mom (even when he isn’t).
That’d be an interesting twist. He’d have to insult people in sign language.
He’s less about insulting and more about pissing people off. His lack of insulting has obviously pissed you off (maybe, not really?), so he’s done his job. 🙂
“Know thy enemy” Mike just needs to bide his time to figure out how best to break everyone around him.
Yeah that is what I figured, he is trying to find their weak points.
He’s not mute per se, but he realised that he can be even more of a dick by pretending to have a disability and then suddenly disabusing everyone of the notion at the same time. Until he does, he will only communicate in semaphore.
Mike only knows two languages; violence and mothaphucking.
Stroke her ego and her emotions change like flipping a light switch. Sounds like every woman I’ve ever dated.
Dude, what women did YOU date? I’d love to meet someone like that!
Your mom.
-Given that we have to fill in for Mike, it had to be said. 😉
They didn’t always change in a good way. Sometimes Crazy just evolved into Crazier.
Sounds like almost every woman I’ve even met.
Oh come on now, some girls are better in the sack that way.
Like your mum.
Yes, but is that a problem with the women, or a problem with you?
Sorry, it’s the Mike avatar. I’m really not this mean 🙁
Holy poop! I got a new avatar! 😀
Hmm, looks like she’s found the way into Billie’s heart. Cue the BilliexJoyce shipping
I look forward to fanart of the two furiously scissoring.
Scissoring is overrated.
Then what would you suggest?
Things that are more commonly done in the lesbian community.
Dancing to Scissor Sisters.
But scissoring is hilarious to look at.
Consider it shipped! Hmm, do I want to do MSPaint Quality fanart (my scanner is dead), or poorly written fanfic?
I am amused that I am now Joe.
Why does it have to be either/or? Do a pic of a scene from your fanfic.
Indeed! I am working on a fanfic right now. And it is awesome!
I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS
So do I.
Make sure to post a link on the most recent comic available when it’s done!
I feel like a bad yuri geek…this never even occurred to me.
But it’d probably be good for both of them…get them to mellow out a bit.
Okay, I’ve decided on my OTP. Billie X Joyce. That is all.
I agree with this. “Bah,” I say, to the people sick of gay couples.
I really like the silent Mike so far. I hope this trend continues.
Thats too precious…Joyce, stop being so darn adorable!
I actually kind of like Ruth (well, not too much in THIS universe so much so “Its Walky!” universe), but she was kinda a bully…
*rolls eyes* Good thing Joyce spoke up quick else Billie wouldn’t have even given her the chance to say that.
Mike is silent cause he knows that’ll eventually get the fans so mad they’ll riot.
Also does it look to anyone else like Billie’s groping herself in that last panel??
I like to imagine so.
You know, if you that out the “well” in her comment …
I almost feel sorry for Joyce… almost…
It’d be interesting if Joyce started to follow her hero’s example…
Alcoholic Joyce… Now thats a funny thought!
Mike’s looming-ness is off-the-charts.
He looks like he is preparing to violate Walky.
Which sounds like something Mike might do.
No nickels have been given out yet though!
Oh, Joyce…prepare to be sorely disappointed.
Joyce has some sort of Stockholm Syndrome on her FAAAACE!
For some reason, i keep thinking Joyce’s Calc book has a picture of Nachitos on it. Does anyone else see that?
Cool Ranch Nachitos. It only looks like it says Calculus because the words are so small.
Yep. The diagram on her book is totally a Nachito.
Mike is taunting me with his grimace. I’m not sure which I’m awaiting more: Mike opening his mouth or Sal making an appearance.
Take bets on which you’ll see first, starting here!:
That means its going to happen at the same time, doesn’t it?
I predict that the first time Mike opens his mouth, he will vomit up an entire partially-digested Sal.
Mike’s mouth is Sal’s window to the world then.
They do say the mouth is the window to the soul. Or something like that.
Aww man, you totally called it! Having said that though, I can tell Willis is gonna find an even dicker way of pulling it. Like NEVER APPEARING.
Nah…it means that neither of them will ever happen.
Ever.
I predict that Sal will be like Vera on Cheers and Billie will walk in to scenes complaining about what a pain she is but we will never see her.
ALTERNATE GUESS: Every time Sal opens a door, it hits Mike in the teeth, so she never appears and he never talks.
That would require DoA Sal to use *doors* and I don’t know if I’m prepared for that level of a character change.
THIS ISN’T BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!
I will go the other way, I guess that when Mike finally opens his mouth to say something, Sal will appear and kick him in the faaaaaace.
D: Why does everyone assume Willis is going to pull a dick move?
Because it’s WILLIS.
But I—
…
Good answer…
Good answer.
(http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20070908.html <– I seriously hope this isn't that parallel universe he's talking about or else I WILL be disappoint at Willis)
http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20080809.html <– NO.
NO.
PLEASE GOD NO.
Sal x Danny sucks tushie!
Plus, without Danny, Billie is intolerable!
No i’m fairly sure that machete’s parallel isn’t DoA cause i’m fairly sure his had seme,the martians, head alien,ect. Also would people lol or curse willis’ name at the sky if he were to pull dannyxjoyce
I think the pairings ending up as different from previous canon would be alright, or at least make sense. These people, while they have traits and appearances in common with the other universe, appear to largely not have the same amount of damage (if aliens are absent, the no childhood abduction/superpower trauma). IE Sal didn’t see her parents die in front of her, didn’t cling to Danny and Mary during High School b/c he paid attention to her = different Sal who may come to love Danny for who he is and he may love her for who she is.
I’m all for non-previous-universe-canon pairings. They may be different, but I feel it should be expected.
Past experience.
I’m going to place my bet on it not only happening in the same panel, but somehow Mr. Willis will make it happen at the same TIME, like Sal will break through Mike’s first speech bubble or something. Mostly because he was the one who told us to take bets.
Billie’s face.
Panel 2.
Yes.
I think you mean:
Billie’s faaaaaaaaaaace.
Panel 2.
Yes.
I love panel two so much. There was both talk of violence, and someone getting pissed off nearly to the point of current violence– Mike isn’t just leaning into that panel, he’s leaning into that panel hard.
At the risk of sounding serious in this humorous thread….Thank you David. I’ve dealt with asshole bully RA’s before. So having Joyce point it out like that is AWESOME to me.
In other news: I’m waiting for Galasso to show up as the propietor of the Campus Store. Or maybe Reagan as the Dean!
Wait… since when is Joyce allowed to smile in a not-triangle?
Hadn’t Joyce said “You’re my hero”, she would have had her ass whooped by the last panel.
People wanna talk about fan-shipping? Screw BilliexJoyce.
JasonxWalkyxMikexEthan four-way. Look my avatar in the eye and just try to tell me you don’t want it.
Oh Yay! I’m Dina. Although I like this hat less than her old one. Seems like she’s stealing Molly Hayes’ schtick.
Can’t we have both?
Mike and Walky are the best roommates ever. Mike is, well, Mike, and Walky is laid-back and teasing enough that Mike would inwardly smirk at his comebacks and Walky would love making fun of Mike.
Nothing good can come of this.
I am in love with how well this comic is passing the Bechdel test so far.
I’m actually concerned my strip might not pass the Bechdel test for Dudes. You’ve already seen the only times two dudes talk to each other in the first couple of months of the strip, and it was about a chick!
No, guys also talked about beating Danny up.
So you’ve covered girls and violence: all you need is guys talking about sports and you’ll have covered all the things that guys do talk about.
That’s not fair.
Guys…um…talk about comics…and video games…and um…
They beat him up while calling him gay, which is a “you don’t like chicks” thing. CHECK AND MATE.
Really? When I was younger and some of my classmates used that word derogatory, they normally mean it in a “you’re not a real man” type of a way, not that the person in question really was into dudes.
I really feel like those are connected, somehow. Erroneously, of course, but connected nonetheless.
Now its 3
quite
So is Mike the Silent Bob to Walky’s Jay or what!?!
…..I think I had that math book
Okay, gotta ask, what is that molecule in your Gravatar?
TNT?
Billie will probably be annoyed when word of Amazi-girl might steal away her new fan’s attention.
Love triangle? :D. (Joyce is too adorable not to want to keep. Initially she may annoy you, but she wears you down.)
Threesome?
I can’t wait until this comic has its own line of fanfic- seems like it will eventually judging from above at least!
Maybe it’s cause we can’t see his mouth, but Mike looks…concerned in that last panel. It’s…disturbing.
He’s just shocked that someone who says things like ‘holy poop’ has such a delightful snarky streak.
Awwwwwww
How come mike hasen’t said anything yet…. You just know Mike is going to say something
Best method for dealing with people with a gigantic chip on their shoulder: Say the complete opposite of what they’re expecting. 😉
Standing up too a-I thought she was just getting her ass kicked
So Walky is now a favorite.
Great, because EXACTLY what we need is for Billie’s ego to be fed.
