Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who thought of that, too.
I think it’s partially the demeanor, though. Joyce appears so shy in this picture, and that’s basically how Belle behaved for the first half or so of her stay in the enchanted castle.
Then again, YMMV.
So… does he actually CARE that this could be more than just sex? I mean, if he’s conscious enough to dress up nicer for her… And If so, I honestly didn’t see that comic.
… so cute… It’s like she’s the living embodiment of a sunny day. And that look on her face… so naive… so innocent… so trusting… I want to take her by the hand and run, laughing, through a sun-drenched meadow full of wildflowers.
I think I’m kind of impressed that she is able to leave Joe speechless. Has anyone been able to do that before? Come even close? Don’t tell me Joe is all talk and no follow-through.
Also, take a good look at the second, lesser stripe there. Who knows when we’ll ever see it again, if ever. Not sure even a vest over that shirt would be enough to catch up.
She might just be the one to help him find the Chivalrous Knight he never knew was there, now that could be interesting. Oh! right, everyone says Chivalry is dead. >_< (why do they keep SAYING THAT?!)
Clearly Joe wasn’t the only one caught off guard by the blinding caution sign that is Joyce’s dress. You’ve all been hypnotized by the cute. I can tell because this strip features Joe and there has not yet been one “with his penis” up to this point, so I will be the brave one and take the bullet. With his penis.
Am I the only one who does NOT think that Joe suddenly fell in love or grew morals?
I think that two things just happened: 1) He was, yes, very surprised that Joyce appeared dressed up in something appealing (and shoulderless!), and 2) he realized he was suddenly grossly *underdressed*. And the problem isn’t impressing Joyce, who clearly doesn’t care; it’s everyone else. Next to Joyce, Joe now looks like boorish schlub, to everyone else. (Including the ladies.)
In recent comics he made a point that his ‘guns’ were all the outfit he needed. He was just proven wrong.
I love the out-of-panel emphasis.
I also notice this image is a conveniently transparent png so if the website background ever changes, it will still fit – nice.
Depends on the cult/denomination. The one I grew up in? Definitely not, not that they would let her go to a “worldly” university anyway. Thankfully Unis are good for unbrainwashing people 🙂
ITS SO YELLOW
She looks so adorable.
Agreed :3
HAHAHAA! She looks so pretty!
Awesome panel, sir. Awesome indeed.
R-owr!
Yow!
So….cute…
Yow wow.
Joyce… um… if the date with Joe doesn’t go as you’d hoped… well, I’m Jewish too, if that helps… *nosebleed*
Perverse sexual lust!!!
With his penis!
I would Joe that.
I thought I knew what PSL for Joyce was.
Then I visited Willis’s deviantART page and found this:
Ratty Old Clothes
*Class III nosehemorrhage*
Wow!
Joe appears caught off guard. I think he’s going to have a change of heart by the end of this.
He always did have a weakness for her when she didn’t act like he expected.
Awww X3
She’s so cute!!!
But my avatar makes what I said sound creepy…
And now it should be better
*achem* Tale as old as time…
I know the dress doesn’t look much like it besides the color but that was my immediate reaction.
Song as old as rhyme…
Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who thought of that, too.
I think it’s partially the demeanor, though. Joyce appears so shy in this picture, and that’s basically how Belle behaved for the first half or so of her stay in the enchanted castle.
Then again, YMMV.
Niiiiiiiiice.
“…and my pants.”
So… does he actually CARE that this could be more than just sex? I mean, if he’s conscious enough to dress up nicer for her… And If so, I honestly didn’t see that comic.
I mean “Coming”
Apparently his eyebrows are directly connected to his libido. Who’d’ve thunk?
Don’t fuck her, Joe! Don’t do it mayne!
Not even with his penis?
Joyce could melt the face of a Nazi with her cuteness :O
I agree with this comment.
Joe seems to be getting more of a heart, courtesy of Joyce. He looks like he was absolutely bowled over by how she looks.
Some things just never change, it seems.
(and I’m not just talking about Mike fucking moms)
for a nickel… with his penis.
Now only if Walky could get a Brain and Danny some courage maybe our heroes can get Dorathy home
Little known fact: Joyce was actually what was inside the Ark of the Covenant in Indian Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Wait a second…shouldn’t everyone dissolve at seeing her if that’s the case?
No, she only melts Nazi faces.
I don’t think that skill will be needed here.
So cute! My head asplode!
Cute outfit Joyce!! And Joe… your eybrows are probably on the ceiling by now…
Ahhh, good old fashioned perverse sexual lust. Joyce never fails to deliver it.
Ironically, I think she took the edge off Joe’s lust, since he’s dressing up nice for her.
Yeah but I was talking about the audience.
the new banner with panel 2 is ADORABLE.
Joyce looks so ADORABLE! *w*
People…my head just blew up from cuteness overload…anyone see a brown head rolling around anywhere? Kinda need it back.
it suits her, but i’d rather see that in any other color, i think
Yowza! Joe’s not going to know what hit him when the night is over.
I don’t think he knows what hit him NOW.
Wow…that…that is a much nicer dress than I thought it would be. I am very impressed.
More cleavage, too. They let sheltered Christian girls dress like that now? Where was I when that happened?
Also, am I the only one who thought she was wearing pants at first?
I also thought she was wearing pants.
F’sho. They were awesome pants… until they turned into a dress.
Yeah. The design of the bodice, and the way the skirt falls when she’s walking, it looks more like a top and loose pants.
So cute! *overdoses on cuteness*
… so cute… It’s like she’s the living embodiment of a sunny day. And that look on her face… so naive… so innocent… so trusting… I want to take her by the hand and run, laughing, through a sun-drenched meadow full of wildflowers.
TMI, Lone Wolf. TMI.
Just like in a Bollywood movie. (And, since this is Joyce we’re talking about, with about as much sex.)
Nah. In Bollywood, the lovers do kiss. We might not even get that far. (Really old standards say don’t kiss on the first date.)
This is true. Kissing is allowed. Anything further than that is represented symbolically with the running through the fields and singing.
daww, spoilsports 😛
I think I’m kind of impressed that she is able to leave Joe speechless. Has anyone been able to do that before? Come even close? Don’t tell me Joe is all talk and no follow-through.
Also, take a good look at the second, lesser stripe there. Who knows when we’ll ever see it again, if ever. Not sure even a vest over that shirt would be enough to catch up.
Joe just pegged buffoon on the scale.
(Seriously, his expession in panel 4.)
Wow. Unexpectedly cute from Joe and Joyce. I guess if I think about it though he always did have a bit of a soft spot for her.
She might just be the one to help him find the Chivalrous Knight he never knew was there, now that could be interesting. Oh! right, everyone says Chivalry is dead. >_< (why do they keep SAYING THAT?!)
Though I must admit she does look stunning…
Chivalry is not dead. I’m chivalrous.
Was it Dave Chappelle that said Chivalry is dead… and women killed it?
That one I will agree with.
Anybody have that ol’ Willis pic of Mike jump kicking somebody than laughing? Joe just got that to the gut
lol, joyce really reminds me of one of my crazy conservative friends and so far the story could fit.
Young lady! You are not going out in that! Go back to your room and cover yourself up in high-necked homespun!
(Actually, it’s a great outfit, but not what I was expecting based on Joyce’s behavior in this continuity.)
“…with my penis.”
“I’ve gotta go find a vest… with my penis.”
Or “for my penis.” Can’t have it showing up to the date all informal!
My crush on Earth 2 Joyce has reached astronomical levels. She is ADORABLE!
How cute. 😀
Clearly Joe wasn’t the only one caught off guard by the blinding caution sign that is Joyce’s dress. You’ve all been hypnotized by the cute. I can tell because this strip features Joe and there has not yet been one “with his penis” up to this point, so I will be the brave one and take the bullet. With his penis.
Heh, seeing Joe suddenly ashamed of himself like that is GOLDEN.
Also, anticipating new avatar.
Still Amber? Argh.
I’d rather have Amber than Ruth. Let’s trade!
Why do I hear music from “Beauty and the Beast?”
I harbour PSL! PSL, I tells ya!
Also, I think she’s wearing the same dress as in a limited print I got on my birthday years ago.
http://www.itswalky.com./auctions/dress.jpg
Yup, that’s the one!
Cute.
Hmm…do I get a new avatar or am I stuck with the same one?
I wish we could trade.
Joe is going to get his D on… unlikely. But I’m Hopeful.
floating eyebrows are the best.
Yellow dress desktop please!
Have we ever seen Joyce in a dress before? I feel like this is the first.
<3 Joyce *dreamy eyes*
Ooooh man. This greatly pleases my desire for JoeXJoyce!!
<3 So cute! *implodes*
Bell bottoms? Really? REALLY?
maybe it’s just the way that the dress folds when she walks? & if it’s bell bottoms then who cares? it’s joyce XD
It’s a dress. For one thing… look at the title of today’s strip.
Am I the only one who does NOT think that Joe suddenly fell in love or grew morals?
I think that two things just happened: 1) He was, yes, very surprised that Joyce appeared dressed up in something appealing (and shoulderless!), and 2) he realized he was suddenly grossly *underdressed*. And the problem isn’t impressing Joyce, who clearly doesn’t care; it’s everyone else. Next to Joyce, Joe now looks like boorish schlub, to everyone else. (Including the ladies.)
In recent comics he made a point that his ‘guns’ were all the outfit he needed. He was just proven wrong.
I worry for Joyce. I identify with the poor girl, because I too trust people when that may be the wrong choice.
Yeah, you have to worry for her. But possibly this would present the opportunity for Walky to make a counter strike, and win her over.
Round 1!
Joyce 1 – Joe – 0
That is just cuter than three bunnies huffing Glade.
Joyce used astonish. It’s super effective! Joe tries to use Leer and flinches.
Astonish is a Ghost move, so you’re telling me that Joe is a Psychic? Or perhaps even Ghost himself? I disagree!
I’m pretty sure he was just being trite.
Am I the *only* one who remembered the dress from the original storyline? I recognized it immediately.
Admittedly, she’s barefoot in the original picture, but now I feel really really old.
Anyhow, like the cartoonist said, check out deviantart. Lots and lots of PSL-inducing imagery of many of these characters in the other universe.
Especially check out Animal’s commission of Sal swimming.
To paraphrase Billy Joel: you christian girls start much to late.
<3 Willis, you've made my day a little brighter
Oh dear …
I now ship this so hard.
Sorry, Walky.
You’re too good for him, Joyce.
Run. Run like the wind!
I thought “Cute!” at first, but a second glance made me think… does Joyce have a slightly sinister look to her? Maybe it’s just me.
Them blue-eyed girls be nothin’ but trouble, Joe. Especially the real pretty ones.
Wow! Is Joyce is out of his league!?
I love the out-of-panel emphasis.
I also notice this image is a conveniently transparent png so if the website background ever changes, it will still fit – nice.
I recognize that dress!
I’m on to you, Willis!
Oh wow! I have a dress that looks just like that!
Joyce is so hot she made Joe’s Eyebrows fly into some unknown Dimension above his head.
I’m just going to ignore all the comments above me and say
“yellow stripes”
I’m surprised Joyce is cool with dressing like that. You’d think her religious upbringing would keep her from that, but I guess not?
Depends on the cult/denomination. The one I grew up in? Definitely not, not that they would let her go to a “worldly” university anyway. Thankfully Unis are good for unbrainwashing people 🙂
“and my eyebrows” …with his penis.
Sorry, been reading the comments too much…
