well…I feel anything over a sweater vest would be really uncomfortable…cuz like that’d imply either you’re wearing 3 layers or you just have sweater vest right on your skin
I highly doubt Joyce really cares if her shoulders are showing. Boobs, on the other hand… Although I can’t really tell how skimpy that… ‘er, watever that piece of clothing Billie is holding is.
It would have to be over, wouldn’t it? It’s hard to tell since we can’t see the entire top, but a sweater vest would cover the thing up entirely. In that case, it would defeat the entire point of wearing it, except as undergarment.
In case you can’t tell, I’m right there with Billie on that final look. It’s still possible to wear that top and NOT be slutty, but a sweater vest is just ridiculous to wear with it.
Jokes aside, that is a rather cute top…. I think I have that exact out fit with the uggs and skinny jeans… Oh hell, I have the same taste in clothes as an ex cheer leader….
CONGRATULATIONS PASMA! YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE MORE “SWEATER PUPPIES” JOKES THAN ANY OTHER PERSON ON THIS SITE! Do you have anything to say to the kids at home who want to comment using wise jokes referring to breasts professionally?
I would like to say that it takes blood, sweat and tears to make those sweater pups references and that we should have world peace and end world hunger… blah blah blah.
Boots look familiar. So I assume she’s also trading the sweater vest for a small brown leather (I think it was leather) vest sometime in the near future too?
It’s taken her this long to get the boots. Give Willis a little more time to give her the vest. He can’t (believably) convert her wardrobe over to IW! attire in one shopping trip any more than he could make Joyce and Walky a couple in one date.
I wonder if she plans on pairing it with just the sweater vest or if there would be a third layer involved. With just the two of these she’d be sleeveless.
I know it’s mostly that her purse hides how she’s pushing her hips forward, but panel 2 sure has Billie appearing to have a great tummy, there. Oh, freshman 15… so many of us have been there, but you make it look good, Billie.
On the matter of sweaters of any variety, I believe Bob Saget proved to me that you can be the illest mothafucka in a cardigan sweater.
The problem is the bend in her back – at the angle that little line’s coming off the back of her shoulders it looks like it’s the start of a line with the same curvature as the one in the front making her lower torso a sphere, basically. Had the little line in the back gone straight down before disappearing behind her purse she would have looked much thinner, without the belly line being altered at all.
Wearing ugg boots in public is like wearing tracky dacks in public… acceptable in certain circumstances (if it’s too bloody cold in the case of the former, or, for the latter, if you’re going for a run or something), but is generally just daggy.
Got your job cut out for you ..heh
The force is strong with this one..
No, it’s, the DORK is strong with this one.
Swing and a miss.
WHOOSH!
Slippers that go to your knees sound like something that’d go well with pajama jeans.
Everything goes well with pajama jeans!
Especially Stains.
and Mcnuggets.
And Butt Tacos.
But not girlfriends.
… The protagonist from Read Or Die?
*Wonders how she knows this enough to even guess, having never seen it. TV Tropes really has gotten to her*
Correct and her name is Yomiko Readman.
Stained Butt Taco McNugget Pajama Jeans?
I know sexy right? Whats in Dorothy’s Damage?
is*
Tell me about it, pj jeans put the ass into class.
Oh wow I really flubbed that up… oh well Lois Lane couldn’t type either.
One step forward, two steps back…
In fairness, the colour *does* go well with her sweater vest.
Billie…why yo shorts so short?
Cos she likes short shorts!
WHO WEARS SHORT SHORTS?!! BILLIE WEARS SHORT SHORTS!!!!!!!!
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE!
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE!
Shake your booty!
Shake your booty!
Billie likes shorts, they’re comfy and easy to wear!
Top percentage of booze drinkers.
Welp, I got beat to the comment.
Beaten. Batman. So much pun potential wasted.
Aaaaand now, I’m annoyed Billie.
If your comment had a back, it would be broken.
There is a lesson for Billie also, “skimpy is not everyone” and I do love skimpy. 😀
Also the phrase “this will look good with my sweater vest” is an oxymoron.
It would not be, if we all looked as good as Joyce in hers.
I just wonder if Joyce means to wear it underneath her sweater vest or over top of it.
well…I feel anything over a sweater vest would be really uncomfortable…cuz like that’d imply either you’re wearing 3 layers or you just have sweater vest right on your skin
Yeah, it’s gotta be under. But that would mean her *shoulders* are showing!
I highly doubt Joyce really cares if her shoulders are showing. Boobs, on the other hand… Although I can’t really tell how skimpy that… ‘er, watever that piece of clothing Billie is holding is.
I’m not sure if you’re intentionally over-analyzing his statement or if you didn’t get that he was joking… >.>
Yes.
Well, there was the yellow dress she wore on her date with Joe. That had a small amount of boob, I think.
Beacuse everyone know’s shoulder showing is the gate way to underboob.
It would have to be over, wouldn’t it? It’s hard to tell since we can’t see the entire top, but a sweater vest would cover the thing up entirely. In that case, it would defeat the entire point of wearing it, except as undergarment.

The reason we will never see Joyce in something like this? She never shaves her armpits. True story!
And that’s not all she never shaves!
Can’t believe this response took 8 hours.
She also never shaves her head.
Jokes aside, that is a rather cute top…. I think I have that exact out fit with the uggs and skinny jeans… Oh hell, I have the same taste in clothes as an ex cheer leader….
Once again, Joyce somehow creeping me out.
Of cause Joyce will continue to wear sweater-vests, she needs to keep her sweater puppies warm you know.

A truly inspiring speech, Plasma!
I just hope it wins me that Miss Universe contest.
With the right attitude, it will.
With the right attitude, it will.
That was the breast, er, best speech I have ever read on this page. I’d say it’s an A-cup, I mean, A-plus. It was very tit…illating.
Apart from Plasma Mongoose, I’ve only ever heard ’em called “sweater kittens.” Must be an across-the-pond thing.
Yeah, if we refer to boobs as some kind of animal, then it’s likely to be puppies as in ‘pull out your puppies’.
As long as they’re not sweater ferrets.
Because it always feels nice to have puppies on your chest.
Billie looks pregnant in the 2nd panel.
She’s got a booze baby
A fetal alcohol syndrome baby? Now that’s what I call a fun twist. 😛
No, just a fetal alcohol baby. She’s giving birth to a malt, or perhaps a wine.
She’s going to pop out a 40 oz baby.
At least you will know that this baby will have a good head on it.
Baby steps, Billie, baby steps.
Yes Joyce. Feel the fuzziness flow through you. Soon you will know the full power of the Ugg side.
Careful! The Vest is strong with this one.

Give Willis time. 🙂
First she needs to be eased in to button front sweater vests.
…. Joyce is making me pretty darn hot. Too adorable to stand! She knows sweatervest styles!
She’s rockin’ those boots.
Oh shit, she’s got the boots. It’s on now.
Billie… it’s time to put down the Doritos tacos…
Or wear real pants. Before mike breaks into her room and paints her in to he Pillsbury dough girl.
This now needs to happen. It would be hi-larious.
Forget the sweater vest, that color’d go great with the top she has under it.
Then again, it seems odd when Joyce isn’t in orange.
Think, Billie, think! If you don’t get her past this, you’re never going to get that beer mug into Joyce’s hand.
A lot of the girls in this comic wear ugg boots, is that a thing in Indiana?
I think it’s a case of Author Appeal.
Or a common college fashion. I see 30% of the girls at my school wear those sorts of boots, particularly in the wintertime.
(and I’m in Northern Virginia)
I’m in Alabama, and it’s basically just part of the college-girl uniform. Along with Nike shorts

Fixed it for you!
It’s nice to see women’s footwear fashions being comfortable for a change.
I’m in college and I never see anybody wearing them. Of course, it’s not exactly cold here (I’m in Australia).
They (Ugg Boots) do seem to be more popular overseas than here in Oz.
I wonder if she plans on pairing it with just the sweater vest or if there would be a third layer involved. With just the two of these she’d be sleeveless.
Aw, I hate fuzzy boots! Do you people know how many Wookies they kill every year to make those?
I only know how many ewoks it takes a year to make the slipper version.
I know it’s mostly that her purse hides how she’s pushing her hips forward, but panel 2 sure has Billie appearing to have a great tummy, there. Oh, freshman 15… so many of us have been there, but you make it look good, Billie.
On the matter of sweaters of any variety, I believe Bob Saget proved to me that you can be the illest mothafucka in a cardigan sweater.

Had the little line in the back gone straight down before disappearing behind her purse she would have looked much thinner, without the belly line being altered at all.
Would the color actually go well with her sweater vest? Fashion people?
well if we look at the color wheel, green is on the oposite side of orange, well not directly across that’s turquios, but, close enough. As long as to colors aren’t next to each other on the wheel they go together.

In short, yes they go nicely.
This is what makes Joyce so fun. 🙂
Everyone altogether now: UGG!
This one’s gonna be a hard nut to crack, Billy.
Do people still wear sweater vests?
My father does, but he really square and fairly religious, kinda like Joyce.
Not if they want to be president.

You could strip away everything but the facial expressions from this comic, and DoA would still be one of my favorites!
