Huh. In this universe wouldn’t a Tarantugun only be seen in a cartoon like Dexter and Monkey-Master? Sal doesn’t seem like the type to get a tattoo based off a cartoon.
Haha! Sal has no idea what’s going on. She’s just as much confused as Joyce is confused trying to say what she means. Joyce is just forgetting she should be herself.
I don’t know about the rest of you all, but hearing someone say “I wanna be just like you” seems kinda unsettling in that “Single-White Female” slasher film sort of way.
That does actually come off a bit creepy… Though I doubt Joyce would go “Talented Mr. Ripley” or “Roommates” on Sal. Besides, Sal could take her if she did.
Sooooo, not like her at all then.
Oh, Joyce, this is one of the times when I find your naïvity adorable. Better than before when I wanted to slap her silly.
Those things are just things Sal does … not the stuff she’s made of. It is perfectly normal for Joyce to want to empower herself and to have confidence. You can be cool without the cliche “rebel with a cause” candy shell.
Just take all those same things and put it on someone else and you could have a villian, or a jerk in a bar, or worse still … a hippie.
Why do I get a sudden sense of foreboding if she has her first taste of alcohol?
While the bible apparently isn’t down on tattoos, the bible doesn’t approve of a lot of things and not every christian even tries follow them to the letter anyway (granted it’s impossible anyway). And I do hear of bikers for jesus- (don’t they have tattoos?)
Maybe Joyce will try to get Sal to join that gang much to Sals annoyance.
Loading ...
there are no cameras joyce is just stalky.
And unsure.
…with her penis
*facepalm*
It’s Joyce and Stalky!
What’d you call Willis’ sketchpad, then?
“Whatchu drawin ’bout, Willis?”
I wanna be different, just like everyone else!
And like you, but not.
“You are all individuals!”
“Yes- we- are- all- individuals.”
“You are all different!”
“Yes- we- are- all- different.”
(“I’m not.” –“Shh.”)
I forget what that was from.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian
The guy actually improvised that and got elevated to speaking actor for it.
Seriously? I didn’t know that. It’s my favourite line in the whole movie.
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
Not once I’ve got this flamethrower working, anyway.
You’re the same decaying organic matter as everyone else.
You know Tyler says those things to people he’s brainwashing into obedient robots, right?
I want to be cool like you, except without taking on anything that makes you cool. Yeah, that’ll work
I spy with my little eye a Tarantugun(?) tattoo.
Beat me to it! (good eyes you got there)
Huh. In this universe wouldn’t a Tarantugun only be seen in a cartoon like Dexter and Monkey-Master? Sal doesn’t seem like the type to get a tattoo based off a cartoon.
See, those are Sal’s tarantula “guns.”
Haha! Sal has no idea what’s going on. She’s just as much confused as Joyce is confused trying to say what she means. Joyce is just forgetting she should be herself.
I don’t think I’ve read or heard the phrase “is this a put-on” since I last read my Bloom County collections. I wasn’t aware people still used it.
Also, I love Sal’s face in that last panel for some reason.
I think it’s because it’s kind of Walky-like. Maybe? Just a thought =)
Perhaps Sal is a fan of the Who’s “Eminence Front”. 🙂
If you take away all of that stuff, you’re already there Joyce.
Well, almost. She could get a Vespa, though.
and get an accent, I don’t know about the hair, would joyce look good with waist length hair? It must be a pain in the group showers.
its great for protecting your modesty
I love cool smooth Sal!
and a matching appropriate joyce icon… now my comment seems silly.
it diddn’t take an Icon.
Touche
Does she still speak with a southern accent?
I don’t know about the rest of you all, but hearing someone say “I wanna be just like you” seems kinda unsettling in that “Single-White Female” slasher film sort of way.
It’s also a song from Disney’s Jungle Book!
And Sal is looking mighty good here. It’s PSL time!
(Okay, this is a David Willis webcomic. There has to be PSL involved somehow.)
That does actually come off a bit creepy… Though I doubt Joyce would go “Talented Mr. Ripley” or “Roommates” on Sal. Besides, Sal could take her if she did.
Joyce suddenly reminds me of King Louie from The Jungle Book.
*sings* Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You’ll see it’s true
An ape like me
Can learn to be humen too
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
Except without the tattoo
the rebelling
and the smoking too.
But, other than that
I wanna be like you
ROFLMAO.
love Sal in the final panel.
Is… is that a crawfish tattoo? Is this like a bumper-sticker-of-a-hotdog, bumper-sticker-of-a-taco kind of thing?
It’s a Tarantugun tattoo I think. Ref: http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20010812.html
It looks kinda like a Stich tattoo to me…
i don’t know why, but everytime i look at the cigarette i forget it’s a cigarette and i’m always wondering,”why does sal have a lollipop?”
Heh. It’s probably for the same reason Kojak had lollipops, then.
Sooooo, not like her at all then.
Oh, Joyce, this is one of the times when I find your naïvity adorable. Better than before when I wanted to slap her silly.
The urge to slap is still in full swing.
“I want to be just like you minus everything that makes you you.”
Is that too much to ask?
Guys, you’re forgetting one thing she didn’t mention that she COULD imitate.
The outfit. I want you to imagine Joyce in that outfit, not smiling, without the cigarette.
Same hair, though.
That would be interesting. She’d have to work into it by wearing a sweater vest without a blouse first….
“Okaaay, wayll then, here’s step one: staht barin’ your midriff.”
“…what?”
Those things are just things Sal does … not the stuff she’s made of. It is perfectly normal for Joyce to want to empower herself and to have confidence. You can be cool without the cliche “rebel with a cause” candy shell.
Just take all those same things and put it on someone else and you could have a villian, or a jerk in a bar, or worse still … a hippie.
“without a cause” — derp.
That’s not a tattoo, that’s what remains after Sal glared at a spider that dared crawl on her arm.
I forgot to mention this happened when she was 5, thus why it seems so large now.
would that make sal the female chuck norris?
Chuck Norris wishes he was Sal.
is it weird that these are all the same amber gravatar?
Trapped in Amber?
I sense a party with spiked punch that joyce is clueless about.
Joyce, step 1: Immediately stop wearing a bra.
Ever.
“Probably the tattoos” Joyce? Just ‘probably’?
Why do I get a sudden sense of foreboding if she has her first taste of alcohol?
While the bible apparently isn’t down on tattoos, the bible doesn’t approve of a lot of things and not every christian even tries follow them to the letter anyway (granted it’s impossible anyway). And I do hear of bikers for jesus- (don’t they have tattoos?)
Maybe Joyce will try to get Sal to join that gang much to Sals annoyance.
“down with”
-Rereads- And simply ‘maybe’ on the smoking too?
She’s a fictional character, does that count?
