Maybe he’s just a guy who’s been drawing these same characters for 10+ years and is a little tired of drawing the same thing every time? And thus wants to mix it up a little?
I find it refreshing that he is not a lazy artist and has his characters actually change outfits just like people do in any reality where people shop for clothing.
How many years has Ash Katchum been wearing that outfit? Most kids clothes barely last 6 months, not six years plus.
I gotta be honest, I LOVE cute girls in sweaters, especially if they fill them out. It’s unfortunate because I live in Florida, and sweaters aren’t really a “thing” here. I’m originally from the Great White North(west) though, where majestic herds of sweaters still roam free.
And yes, that does mean the image of Scooby and Velma are officially in your head as Walky and Joyce in their respective outfits (yes, that leaves Walky in nothing but dog ears, tail, and painted on spots if you want it to go that way.)
I think somebody needs to point out that most parties tend to take place in houses/rooms that are a bit too small for the number of people, and therefore get extremely hot extremely quickly. Sorry, Joyce, but you might want to take off that sweater. Slowly. For safety.
If it weren’t shoving the entire blame for their disagreement onto the other person, maybe. But that’s what it’s doing, so it sounds pretty passive-aggressively immature to me.
Joyce has been nothing but friendly and accommodating to Sarah. She’s basically saying “The offer of friendship is still on the table, but it’s up to Sarah to accept it.” Joyce has made 99% of the effort. Is it really unfair to expect Sarah to pick up the other one percent?
The “Are you two going to be okay” wasn’t about their several-days-long relationship; it was about the argument immediately prior. Which Joyce singlehandedly turned from bluntly-phrased concern for Joyce’s well-being (because she really doesn’t have any idea what she’s getting into – see that sweater) into a personal attack on Sarah’s lifestyle. An ill-informed personal attack, to boot, since she has no idea that the reason Sarah stays aloof is because she’s twice shy from being bitten once each time she goes into the cafeteria. And it was solely thanks to Joyce’s personal attack that Sarah angrily discarded her concern for Joyce’s welfare.
And no the fact that her concern for Joyce is partially driven by a desire to have a peaceful placid roommate doesn’t change the fact that in this argument it was Joyce that set the torch to the bridges.
You can disagree with someone without it being an attack… Joyce just told Sarah that Sarah’s advice wasn’t very reliable. In point of fact, it really hasn’t.
It wasn’t an attack. She was simply telling Sarah that Sarah has been quick to judge her incapable of handling herself and wrong and that Sarah’s own wall of anger has left her isolated and unable to build new bridges. And it doesn’t take long to see that’s true. Sarah is friendless due to her own devices; there are more people out there than her ex-roommate’s friends, and she’s made no real effort to reach out to any of the new girls.
And it wasn’t just “bluntly phrased concern for her well-being.” It was an order not to involve herself with something that might bring back drama to the room. Joyce has a right to stand up for herself.
Hmm, not entirely sure how I feel about Dorothy’s outfit here. I mean, yeah, it definitely gets the point across, but isn’t the whole wide-collar, short-shorts thing a little retro? I mean, give her a scrunchie and a pair of leg-warmers and she’s got the full set!
And I care what noone says, Joyce’s outfit is appropriate for the sheer reason that Joyce has the PERFECT figure for a sweater! I mean, seriously, look at her!
Watch it turn out that Joyce’s turtleneck sweater is more appropriate to the party than what Dorothy is wearing. Instead of a sex party, it’s a whole bunch of people sitting around discussing Women’s Rights to Have Sex and whatnot.
I had a similar thought, and it would be a Willis kinda move, but I’m thinking even if it is a more traditional kind of college party she’s dressed appropriately enough.
I’m going to laugh my ass off if Beef shows up at this party, especially if it’s as Robin’s bodyguard (and the “party” is a political rally).
Even with the comic being way up in Indiana and not in Surface-of-the-Sun, Texas, she is going to be sweltering in that heavy turtleneck. It’s September, for goodness sake.
That being said Joyce has a great set of sweater-puppies.
And my Sassy Gay Friend side want’s to give Dotty a “What, what, what are you doing?” with those skanky booty shorts.
The second week of September in southern Indiana it got down to sixty after a thunderstorm. It’s entirely possible for it to be sweater-appropriate weather, given that none of the characters have complained about it being really hot.
Loading ...
See? Pants!
I mean OOH BRA STRAP
God damn, then how much boobage is Billie going to be showing off?
I don’t know, you tell me!
Your avatar says it all
Woohoo!! *does the fresh prince apache dance*
Is that her sweater from Roomies?
No. end of discussion.
It’s very…orange.
Is it me or does willis spend too much time thinking about fashion? This is very strange for someone who always wears Hawiian shirts
Maybe Willis is a closet metrosexual.
Okay, I know what it means, but every time I hear this term, all I can think of is a guy who finds subway systems sexually attractive.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Your icon amuses me.
Especially in combination with Plasma Mongoose’s icon.
Something something long object something something tunnel.
Something Something Something VROOM!
Someting something something little Joe something something something FAAAAACE!
Now, face the power of this FULLY ARMED and OPERATIONAL underground train!
I like that he does.
Maybe he’s just a guy who’s been drawing these same characters for 10+ years and is a little tired of drawing the same thing every time? And thus wants to mix it up a little?
I find it refreshing that he is not a lazy artist and has his characters actually change outfits just like people do in any reality where people shop for clothing.
How many years has Ash Katchum been wearing that outfit? Most kids clothes barely last 6 months, not six years plus.
I’m far more concerned that the kid hasn’t hit puberty yet. He’s like 23 now. Runt needs to go see an endocrinologist or something.
Ash hasn’t grown up yet cos he hasn’t evolved yet, maybe humans in the Pokemon world need a puberty stone or something to grow up.
Congratulations! ASH evolved into…
OH GOD WHAT IS THIS
Ash is trying to learn PENIS GOES WHERE
But Ash can only learn four moves! Forget COMMON SENSE to learn PENIS GOES WHERE?
> YES
That explains SO MUCH
Techincally, Ash has changed clothes four times already.
She’s a regular Velma!
Certainly leaves a lot to the imagination.
Meanwhile, sarah is off to continue writing her new book: diary of a mad black woman…then get pissed how tyler perry stole her idea.
Just like some “other” people
Joyce is seriously the most adorable person ever.
Also it makes her chest look way bigger.
Also that.
Does she even need help?
No, I don;t believe that Jugs err Joyce needs any more help in that department.
Out of curiosity, what are our nicknames for everyone in this universe?
Dotty = Dorothy
Freckles = Ruth
Dickmonster = Joe
Tubs = Billie
Jugs = Joyce
Any ideas for Sarah or Danny?
Not sure about Danny boy, but the nickname Grumblebum suits Sarah pretty well.
Grumblebum sounds adorable.
It suits her so well from all the comics we seen of her so far.
wait, why is joyce called jugs?
XP
Isn’t Sal’s nickname Batman? Since she IS Batman.
I forgot about Sal as Batman.
Izzy, the reason Joyce is Jugs cos, look at her, the only way someones chest can be that obvious in a sweater is if they were pretty big.
Noo, Sal isn’t Batman.
Batman is a Sal.
Walky=David
Danny = “Who?”
(Stupid threading limit…)
I was making a joke plasma xp
I thought my avatar being what it was would help reveal that. my mistake lol
Do you make those avatars yourself Izzy, or is there a parallell comic somewhere where the DoA cast are in their underwear?
Kinda like “Garfield minus Garfield”, only more “DoA minus clothes”.
In any event: I WANT. 😀
I would so read that comic.
I suspected as much but the XP symbol usually means ‘oh god that was stupid’ or something along those lines as far as I am aware.
Better safe than sorry.
For me at least, 😛 = cheery scarcasm, 😀 means I’m half kidding/kidding and :O means ‘Holy Crap’.
made ’em myself…sorta. lots of tracing in flash. i can make you one if you want?
I gotta be honest, I LOVE cute girls in sweaters, especially if they fill them out. It’s unfortunate because I live in Florida, and sweaters aren’t really a “thing” here. I’m originally from the Great White North(west) though, where majestic herds of sweaters still roam free.
Is that anything like the swamps of Squornshellous Zeta, where wild mattresses flollop playfully and globber with wild intensity?
So is Dorothy half dressed there or is there an 80’s exercise theme to this party we haven’t learned about yet?
Dude, the 80’s have been back for a hot minute among the youngins. Unfortunate hair and all.
She’s a maniac
Oh noooo!
That look is fairly popular (or was, fashion can be hard to keep up). Seen many young girls dressed like that when going clubbing.
An activity which always sounded to me like it was putting baby seals in peril.
It’s been 30 years, dude. The boat-neck-and-bra-strap is “in” again in college.
Maybe all she knows about this “fashion” thing is from the encyclopedia.
Sweaters..sweater vests…whichever.
I’m liking the Velma sweater. She should keep it.
All she needs is a pair of black square glasses and she can cosplay Velma from Scooby Doo.
And then get together with Shaggy?
Only if Walky gets to be Scooby.
Walky is already Scooby.
Does that make the McNuggets the new Scooby snacks?
And does that mean Ultra-Car is the Mystery Machine? I can totally see him going along with that.
And by “going along with that” I mean “killing the first person that suggests that”.
…who’s there? What? Ultra Car! Nooooo, I didn’t meanuuaghhhghurk…*
No, not killing. Abducting and leaving in the Amazon. He hasn’t done that in a while
Yes.
Joyce providing Walky with McNuggets in exchange for sexual favors..
And here I thought it would have been Nachitos … silly me.
Nachitos are his favourite in Its Walky, McNuggets are his in this reality.
The red eyes of your avatar make it sound like you’re demanding this.
That works for me. 😀
Joyce is secretly a furry
The idea that Joyce is a secret yiffer disturbs me.
She’ll yiff your mom in the faaaace for a nickel
With her…penis?
now, with her femurs
In her nethers?
BUT SHE NEEDS HER FEMURS TO LIVE.
Will this require her butt?
Will this affect her FAAAAAITH?
Yeah… The moment you suggested Walky possibly being Scooby, I was like ‘But that means… Back in… o.e’
And yes, that does mean the image of Scooby and Velma are officially in your head as Walky and Joyce in their respective outfits (yes, that leaves Walky in nothing but dog ears, tail, and painted on spots if you want it to go that way.)
Hey now, don’t deprive Scoob of his modesty. He’s got that collar!
Walky in nothing but body paint and a dog collar, now THAT I wanna see XD
Now I want to see a strip slay of this with Joyce saying “JENKIES!” instead of “TA DAAA”
I thought it was ‘jinkies’ not ‘jenkies’ o.o
‘jenkies’ is what you say when you remove the wrong block.
no, silly, that’s jengis!
You mean the guy that conquered all of asia?
naw that’s Genghis
I thought that was the Alien that went up against Captain Picard in Star Trek?
No, that was KHAAAAAAAAARN!
No, Kharn’s a team killing space marine. Though I hear hear he’s still a pretty fun guy.
FACE for the FACE GOD! FEMURS for the FEMUR THRONE!
I can completely see that happening.
Now I want to write fanfiction with Velma!Joyce yelling at Daphne!Roz and Fred!Joe for pre-marital hanky-panky.
…and the Freaky Phantom is actually *mask is removed* Galasso the Pizza Shop Owner?!?
Everyone thought it was Mike because he was acting suspicious but really he was just trying to protect his secret– he’s engaged to Danny.
He didn’t want to tell anyone until they set a date
And then the Galasso mask was pulled off to reveal…SYDNEY YUS!!! *gasp*
“…and I’d have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids and the guy with the Nachitos!”
That would be…strangely hot actually.
Can Amber do it instead? She’s already got the glasses, and more suitable hair.
Have them swap clothes, 😀 😀 😀
So much PSL for Amber Velma goin on right now.
PSL?
something something lust, right?
of the Perverse Sexual variety, yes.
Perverse Sexual Lust, Willis coined the term to describe feeling turned on by a fitional character.
PSL, you have been troped.
You mean Perverthe Thecthual Lutht.
Did a cat bite your tongue?
A little bit.
Watch that become the Halloween thing.
This is of course when they GET to halloween. In what, ten years time?
10-20 years or when Half Life episode 3 come out. Just kidding, just kidding. Please don’t ban me.
It will will be out way before then….
Careful. PSL can lead to PHP with LDMs and webcams posting MP4s on the WWW!
WTF?
Guess who is going to need to borrow clothes?
I’m having trouble seeing her not rejecting the offered clothes.
I will say this is actually an improvement.
If we’re trying to avoid Sarah’s worst fears, the sweater vests would have been smarter.
Those are smart looking sweater vests under any circumstances, sweetheart.
Well, doesn’t this bring back memories?
Just a quick edit:
Joyce as Velma
Part of me wants to be turned on, but most of me is slightly disturbed.
*blink* *blink* That…actually works.
^_^
Hey, throw in a miniskirt and she’ll looks almost exactly like Velma.
Velma was the originator of “sweater meat.”
Sweater puppies!
I’m pretty sure the “Wholesome Sweater Girl” goes back at least to the 1950’s if not earlier.
I think somebody needs to point out that most parties tend to take place in houses/rooms that are a bit too small for the number of people, and therefore get extremely hot extremely quickly. Sorry, Joyce, but you might want to take off that sweater. Slowly. For safety.
While everyone watches.
NOBODY FAP! Mike’s watching youuuuuuuuuuu….@_@
Ceiling Mike is watching you fap.
Don’t you mean Basement Mike?
Joyce is adorable. Can I keep her? xD
Once the statue gets made, yes.
That will be $5 Willis, for plugging your merchandise.
Hey, turtle necks can be hot. You know, if you talk to the right people.
They’re also perfect tactical attire!
Or if, y’know, it’s warm out.
Cute sweater, Joyce. 😛
Oh c’mon Billie. Sweater vests are cool.
Yeah. Jets fans can’t have Rex Ryan Time without the sweater vest.
Actually, sweater vests are hot, in both sense of the word.
Sweater vests, bow ties, fezzes, and Stetsons.
pretty much anything the doctor wears, past or present doctor. this includes Chuck tailors.
But Chuck tailors are always cool.
And eyeglasses now.
I think the phrase “That’s really up to her” is one of the most mature statements I’ve seen in this comic.
If it weren’t shoving the entire blame for their disagreement onto the other person, maybe. But that’s what it’s doing, so it sounds pretty passive-aggressively immature to me.
Joyce has been nothing but friendly and accommodating to Sarah. She’s basically saying “The offer of friendship is still on the table, but it’s up to Sarah to accept it.” Joyce has made 99% of the effort. Is it really unfair to expect Sarah to pick up the other one percent?

Velma!
All I can say is turtle neck and chain!
JOYCE. It is probably not even SEPTEMBER in your universe. At the latest, Monday will be Labor Day. It is too early for a sweater!!
Technically, its a turtleneck. Just saying.
Hmm, not entirely sure how I feel about Dorothy’s outfit here. I mean, yeah, it definitely gets the point across, but isn’t the whole wide-collar, short-shorts thing a little retro? I mean, give her a scrunchie and a pair of leg-warmers and she’s got the full set!
And I care what noone says, Joyce’s outfit is appropriate for the sheer reason that Joyce has the PERFECT figure for a sweater! I mean, seriously, look at her!
Unforutnately I’ve seen gals wearing stuff like that around my parts lately…which isn’t too far off from the comics parts
Nice fanservice grav. 😀
It needs to be made bigger.
I do wish that the grav could be bigger, 64×64 is pretty damn small concidering that 1280×1024 & 1600×1200 screens are the norm these days.
I do wish they would allow at least 196×196 gravs if not higher.
Has nobody made a Francis joke yet?
Francis. From Left 4 Dead.
…Francis hates everything but vests. He likes vests.
Joyce got rid of the vest part of sweater-vest. Therefore Francis must hate her the most.
-_-
I did a double- and triple-take at your avatar. Now… it’s hard to look away…
That’s a good thing, right?
How are you able to have two different gravs at the same time?
Your gravatar’s eyes…they’re burning into my very SOUL! Make it stop!
Don’t fret too much, I only use this grav once in a while, I change gravs like most people in here change underwear.
you can have more than one e-mail adress attached to a gravitar account. you can have different avatars attached to different e-mails
Ah that explains it.
… Well duh! Sweaters!
Just in case we were worried the sudden mature talk would take away the Joyce we all know and love…
TA DAAAAA!
I wonder if DoA Faz will be at this party
Or at the very least I am hoping for some more Ethan / Joyce interaction
This is going to be a “work in progress” thing, yes?
I dunno, I can’t imagine Joyce wearing anything more revealing than that, you know? At this point, at least, she’s far too conservative for that.
Watch it turn out that Joyce’s turtleneck sweater is more appropriate to the party than what Dorothy is wearing. Instead of a sex party, it’s a whole bunch of people sitting around discussing Women’s Rights to Have Sex and whatnot.
If so then Roz oughtn’t have told Dorothy that her previous attire was inappropriate.
Maybe they’re planning a SlutWalk and want to compare attire?
I had a similar thought, and it would be a Willis kinda move, but I’m thinking even if it is a more traditional kind of college party she’s dressed appropriately enough.
I’m going to laugh my ass off if Beef shows up at this party, especially if it’s as Robin’s bodyguard (and the “party” is a political rally).
She looks very cute in a regular sweater! 😀
Awr, so cute and adawrable :3
Even with the comic being way up in Indiana and not in Surface-of-the-Sun, Texas, she is going to be sweltering in that heavy turtleneck. It’s September, for goodness sake.
That being said Joyce has a great set of sweater-puppies.
And my Sassy Gay Friend side want’s to give Dotty a “What, what, what are you doing?” with those skanky booty shorts.
The second week of September in southern Indiana it got down to sixty after a thunderstorm. It’s entirely possible for it to be sweater-appropriate weather, given that none of the characters have complained about it being really hot.
It is nice and cool out in Evansville today
Yeah, like not even seventy degrees.
Where I am today, it was below 50 all day.
Which meant I got to enjoy seeing some nice sweater puppies in Lit class today! So yeah this is totally plausible.
I voted for danny because I harbor PSL for him.
I’m still wondering waht Roz meant by, “You have to participate.”
She looks like a long haired Velma without her glasses on.
She will probably boil alive in that sweater if the party is in a closed place… O.o
She looks like Velma from Scooby Doo
Joyce isn’t fundie enough, she wears pants and cuts her hair lol.
Jinkies!
