Well, if it’s a contraction, it should probably be li’l’ anyway, which just looks stupid. So I’m totally willing to go with the “no right way” explanation.
I think back once again to the Canada ark when Joyce was switched genders and said that he/or is she still she, oh so confusing, couldn’t keep the blood out of her pants and keep it in the brain.
Should she be making these sorts of promises… I mean, she doesn’t really know that her editor isn’t going to pull a J. Jonah Jameson vs. Spider-Man on Joe and screw the story to be more inflammatory against him.
She said “work with me and we can shape the narrative to your benefit”. I don’t think she’s considered what might happen afterwards, but she hasn’t made any promises about it one way or the other.
She’s assuring him that if he does an interview with her, she’ll write something that benefit him, as opposed to other reporters who will make a fool of him for the sake of overblowing the story. She’s implying that anything she writes will save him issues. She never said “I’ll try” or “with any luck”. She makes it pretty clear she’ll have his back on this story essentially. If her editor decides she wants the story to go a different way and edits it, Joe’s going to feel betrayed isn’t he?
I’d say that Joe’s smart enough to know what the drill is with the editorial process, but I suspect the only time Joe knows anything about drills is when “Drill” is a euphemism. Drilling, plowing, nailing and screwing, various acts of plumbing, he’s a regular handyman within the right context.
Been so long since I’ve been through that archive, I’d forgotten that. XD
Also! As proven by Jacques over in QC, not every guy picks the same nickname “type” for it. Steve calls his Lil’ Stevie Ray Vaughn, when Marten first called it Lil’ Stevie Wonder.
Either way, Lil’ Joe is a term that makes me want to giggle. =D
Loading ...
Lil’ Joe is little.
Because it’s in a chick.
Kinky is using a feather, perverted is using the whole chicken.
Why do i get the feeling that *In a chick* will get into the same league as *For a Nickel*, *With his Penis* and *With your mom*? XD
Because this webcomic is a breeding ground for new and exciting memes! 😀
YOUR MUM is a FEMUR munching SECRET MEDIA MONSTER who gets into your FAAAAAAAACE when you put YOUR PENIS IN A CHICK FOR A NICKEL.
IAWTC

Sal image just made the sarcasm right there.
D: But I wasn’t being sarcastic!
But Dorothy why aren’t you recording this vital information about Lil Joe? That’s what the readers want!
First rule of newspaper writing: know what you can get past the editor. And Daisy? Does not care about Li’l Joe.
I hate being a dick here, but MM gets it right. ” Li’l ” is the correct way to shorten ” little “, just like it’s ” it’s ” instead of ” its’ “.
I think I’m okay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil
(I can’t find anything that says one is wrong and the other is right, but “lil'” is clearly more popular.)
Well, if it’s a contraction, it should probably be li’l’ anyway, which just looks stupid. So I’m totally willing to go with the “no right way” explanation.
Wiktionary is in favour of ” li’l “: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lil%27
Contractions as a rule can’t have more than one apostrophe. So y’gotta choose one placement or the other.
Eh, Cap’n, the bo’s’n wants to have a word with ye.
Up on the Fo’c’s’le?
Unless you’re Lewis Carroll, who insisted on spellings like ca’n’t. It never really caught on.
Except that English is a language that doesn’t follow its own rules. Especially in this case and its possessive forum. 😛
English is the slutty kid that does whatever is popular with the tongue, regardless of rules of propriety.
It also sleeps around (why there’s French in English, and also cajun etc.).
It would have been different if Joe was Joana or something.
I hear Raven from Teen Titans everytime Dorothy talks.
Is it just me?
It WAS just you. >:(
Yeah, now I got it too. I was hearing Buttercup previously.
It WAS just you ):D
Wait ,,, Dorothy sounds like a superhero?
SHE’S AMAZI-GIRL!
Billie is Amazi-Girl. Duh.
Funny, I heard Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time (who is also Starfire).
She’s kinda like Twilight Sparkle in my head.
… partially obscured by being in a chick.
Now there’s a line I can’t refuse.
*facepalm* Joe, Joe, Joe- Get a hold of yourself man!
Well, blood is not flowing to his head if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately, I do. Heh. Wow, that Avatar makes that statement all the more weirder, LOL!
I think back once again to the Canada ark when Joyce was switched genders and said that he/or is she still she, oh so confusing, couldn’t keep the blood out of her pants and keep it in the brain.
I’m pretty sure that’s one of the Top Ten Things You Will Never Hear Joyce Say.
At least six of the others also end in “if you know what I mean.”
why should joe get ahold of himself when there’s a chick in the room? that’s obviously why she’s there!
He DID rate Dorothy fairly decently, and she’s single now.
Because everyone knows that Lil’ Joe’s dignity is more important than Big Joe’s.
Makes perfect sense to me, Lil Joe does most of his thinking after all.
Most of the thinking, socializing, Joeing…you know Joe might just be lil joe’s wingman.
Joe is li’l joe’s slave.
It’s good to know that Joe gets the most important information out of the way first.
Y’know, Joe… it might help the whole “image” thing if you came up with a different nickname than “Lil Joe.”
Big Hoss?
Poxy Joe?
Joepedo
in his defense, what nickname could possibly improve his (their?) image?
How about : JOEZILLA!!!!
Big Joe? As in, Joe may be an average joe in height and weight for a man, but Big Joe’s proportioned abnormally large?
Long Joe Silver?
Joe-nan the Barbarian?
King Joe-bra?
Joe-naconda?
Joe-inator?
Joe-inator sounds good to me.
Nickname? Just call it….In A Chick.
he just needs a sign:
Objects in this chick may be larger than they appear.
Is she admitting to being a dry writer?
Oh no, Big Joe’s Lil’ Joe is not so big? Things we learn about the characters, ten years on…
I thought that was implied when Robin had her hands down his pants at the end of “It’s Walky!”
apparently joe is in the same “little lil” club with walky: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040804.html
IT’S OFF THE RECORD
ITS ON THE TAPE

Hey! When did the banner change? What happened the Joyce’s roommate??
willis decided the first DoA book will be subtitled “brings back the segregation”.
that or he wanted to put the three most prominent characters in the banner. and plus it’s more in line with sarah’s character to not be in the banner. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/blog/super-racist-new-doa-header-image/
That’s right daisy, give the person with the biggest conflict of interest the story.
“secret media monster” would be a great band name.
…for his penis.
Yes, Joe. Get this out of your system.
Get this over with ASAP.
Hurry and get Dorothy out of there before Danny gets back (worse yet, before Danny gets back with Amber!) Dx
I like this comic. Just thought I’d say so. Thanks David!
Yay, he(Willis) used my term! =D
YOUR term? http://itswalky.com/d/20031117.html 🙂

Joe is working to fix this problem.
With his penis.
(That was more ambiguous than I intended. Or was it!?!)
Joe likes to focus on the more important things in life. Like his penis.
Isn’t that what got him into trouble in the first place?
