I’ll be at Phoenix Comicon this weekend! Come see me and Joel Watson at Booth #1749! That’ll be an Artists Alley corner booth in the far back corner next to the “LEGO Display” and “Star Wars Neighborhood.” Check out John Troutman’s map.

ETHAN is the catch! =3
He’s like a rainbow trout, flopping about in the net of hypocrisy.
So he would look good stuffed nd mounted?
Only if a bear catches him.
I unno…Ethan doesn’t seem like he’s into hairy dudes.
More smooth and hairless, and made of metal.
I know a girl with similar tastes…
Everyone that reads this statement will now picture Joyce pegging Ethan with a studded strapon
Really? I’m imagining a well dressed bear banging Ethan for all he’s worth. Unfortunately, Ethan is also a trout, and that causes some hardships.
♪ A bear, a bear, all covered in HAIR!
And now all I can picture is a bear in a top hat and bow tie, thanks so much.
Mister Bearington, I presume. (If you do not know the story of Mister Bearington, you should look it up and read it)
No, the strapon would be shaped like Optimus Prime.
Dat Avatar just works.
For some reason I misread the words “Optimus Prime” in your comment as “Octopus Pie.” (I think it was because I’d just been reading Octopus Pie.)
well there’s this http://www.seibertron.com/images/toys/uploads/1368819927_1368747612.jpg
…. I love you, James. Let’s run away and design lifestyle products together.
Your powers are weak, old man.
Love how it had to be a RAINBOW trout xD
Billie will murder everything when she realizes that Joyce got a boyfriend before she did.
That’s our Mike!
Does Mike know that Joyce knows?
The real question is whether Ethan knows that Mike knows that Joyce knows.
Or if Joyce knows Mike knows Joyce knows.
No, the real issue is if Mike cares that Joyce knows that Mike knows that Joyce knows.
But does he know that she knows that he knows she knows he knows?
…What was I saying again?
Know knows know know knows know knows knows knows knows.
See now it makes perfect sense.
Haven’t you figured it out. Mike knows everything!
And yes Mike, Ethan, and Amber were friends back before college.
-Goes back a couple of weeks to get popcorn from Sarah-
God DAMN that panel 1 Billie…
I think you mean every Billie ever. <3
Yes, every Billie ever.
Dem Billie curves
Especially her curves on the *gets slapped by an unseen force* OK, I’ll drop it.
Mmmm, I love a lady when her hips sway. Shit, I’m surprised it didn’t summon Joe.
… It did summon us, though.
Billie looks so naga-like in that first panel.
Oh dear, I already have an pact of monogamy with the last Naga.
Billie sure seems to have you all by the goat.
I thought Billie is an asari given her flexibility.
True.
Hip-sway cute-expression flirty Billie is still best Billie, though.
First we get BA Billie with no pants…
Then adorable Billie taking in the Ethan-steak…
Now flirty Billie…
Best chapter ever.
Even Ethan seems to be feeling a bit magnetized to her. Look at him in panel 1! Joyce, you’re lucky you’ve got the one thing Ethan needs in a woman…
A penis?
I will grab you by the throat
And ride you like a sturdy goat
I will drag you in my scent
With or without your consent
I am a whore of some renown,
your buttocks are my hunting ground.
i am a manwhore without peer,
absorbing sex from the atmosphere
We don’t blame him for raving about Chromedome.
I do. Should’ve gone with Jazz.
I prefer Knockout.
Well, it kinda makes sense that Ethan would relate to Chromedome, considering Rewind, and he… plus the fact that Rewind just… *sniff*
…sorry, it’s too soon. Gotta go back into mourning…
That feels….
Can Billie stay in her flirtatious pose for all strips from now on?
Seconded! (Or, technically firsted given my other comment…)
HER HIPS WON’T UNSWAY!!!
That other comment didn’t happen, my comment retconned it out.
No kiddin’. Is it just me, or is she trying to touch her elbows behind her back?
If you mean touching her left hand to her right elbow, then yes, yes she is.
There isn’t a catch, Joyce gets a hot boyfriend who thinks it gross to touch her, that’s like Joyce’s dream man.
But she wants to be married and have the babies. Touching is part of that package.
You can buy babies. Although they prefer to call it adoption.
But her marriage won’t count without the hanky panky!
They can do it like Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary, only it’s Saint Ethan and the Lustful Joyce.
By that, I mean god consummates the mawwiage for them.
God x Ethan OTP.
And Joyce is okay with that? Man, I just can’t get a lucky break.
“Okay with” seems like an overstatement, given her expression. But she expects to be able to change him in all other ways, why wouldn’t she expect him to start watching and liking only her shows etc?
Now I’m a little scared thinking of which modern shows Joyce would have been allowed to watch. I’m aware of Vegetales, which I assume would be okay, but after that -?
My Little Pony? Clifford the Big Red Dog? Or maybe even the eldritch horror disguised as a children’s show:
TELLIETUBBIES.
My Little Pony features sorcery. As do the Care Bears. Neither of them would be allowed in the Brown household, no way no how.
Also one of the Teletubbies is gay.
1st and 4th gens, yes, but I think 2nd and 3rd gens would be alright.
3.5 isn’t even worth mentioning.
The catch is over on todays Roomies.
So is Mike’s voice dripping with sarcasm, or completely deadpan?
If he’s doing it right, all his target feels is a cold grip around their heart…
I always figured he sounds utterly deadpan. Barring exceptional circumstances, his expression doesn’t change, and I think his delivery style oughtta match that.
Well, now that Billie knows he’s a nerd, she’ll want nothing to do with him. Good job, Joyce!
Mike are you stalking Ethan? That is not romantic stop it.
It’s Mike, he stalks everyone.
He’s under your bed right now.
Fucking your mom.
My bed’s a roll-away.
Don’t underestimate Mike. NEVER underestimate Mike.
That won’t stop him. If he needs to go N-dimensional to be a dick to you, he will. He’ll prove string theory — for a nickel.
I certainly hope he’s not doing anything with my mom… That would destroy all respect I have for Mike. I know he’s a depraved bastard, and I love him for it, but I just can’t hold any good opinion of an necrophiliac.
Mike actually has the ability to temporarily resurrect dead moms, in order to make them better able to accept his nickels. But in your mom’s case he makes an exception, just because.
You’re acting like he wants your respect in the first place.
He is in the foundations. He finds it poetic. Or he doesn’t, he seems pretty straight forward.
Whoa is Mike and Ethan a pair anywhere?
If Joyce’s pupils shrink any further, they will turn into black holes.
unlike her mouth which if it gets any larger will become a white hole.
Wouldn’t that tear her being apart?
YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, AIZAT!
Tommy Yotomoe.
Sandie Andiemus.
Yotomoe x Aizat.
Am I doing this right?
Joyce is reaching to protect the goods from any lusty eyes.
Including hers.
So, what did I miss?
… … More like panel one, please. o_o
Very much seconded!
So, Dumbiverse Ethan likes Chromedome, while Walkyverse Ethan likes Rewind?
Wait, not Hot Shot?
I tried googling ‘conjunct endura’ but I got nothing useful to explain what it means.
Its an IDW Transformers reference, basically meaning ‘Significant Other’
Thanks! I still cannot believe Google failed me so.
I know what Willis would say to this spelling glitch, but I’ll just direct you <A HREF="https://www.google.com/search?q=conjunx+endura"here.
Er, here: https://www.google.com/search?q=conjunx+endura
That is much better. 😀
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Conjunx_Endura
This comic should have been named Chromedude.
Okay, it’s official: we’re requesting a hi-res of that first panel.
Everyone who’s with me, say “aye!”
EYE
YARRR!
http://itswalky.tumblr.com/post/51049766923/folks-asked-for-a-large-version-of-this-panel-from
We asked, and he gave.
Ah yes, that is a *much* better view of the ice cream cones on the wall behind them. Excellent!
“He’s… a nerd! A nerdy nerd! A Trans-nerd! For other guys. I mean, for TOYS that only other guys would PLAY with. And Billie, you hate all nerds, right? Right. Good talk. Good talk.”
I love Joyce’s expression in the last frame, and how it’s totally at odds with her dialogue. Her words are a fairly smooth deflection, but her tiny eyes and rigid mouth show us how hard she has to work not to say what the real “catch” is.
BILLIE used FLIRT! It’s not very effective…
…ok, getting used to Ethan’s new hairstyle.
Gosh, why do all of Willis’ characters have to be such cuties? *huff*
There IS no catch, so long as Joyce has a secret penis.
We all have a secret penis deep down.
Mine is teal and shaped like a porpoise.
Yeah, Emily might say just that.
But does it need batterie?
BILLIE! NOOOOOO! YOU HAVE TO DO THE LADY TANGO WITH RUTH! MY HEART DEMANDS IT! MY EMOTIONAL WHIMS DICTATE THE ROMANTIC LIVES OF FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!!
Also, this just occurred to me. Ethan kinda looks like Superman now.
I wonder… do you think anyone’s ever seen Ethan and Superman in the same place at the same time?
That’s crazy-talk… Everyone knows Amazi-girl is Superman…
Oh my God… Ethan is Superman… Amazi-girl is Superman… so by the transitive property of algebra… GALASSO IS AMAZI-GIRL!!!
algebra is a cruel mistress
SUPER-ETHAN!

Also, I would also love you (in a non-sexual way) if you made a real depiction of Ethan in a Superman suit.
Also, money. Poster of that would be a great purchase.
Now that’s a nice edit.
Whoa, Panel 1 Billie made my eyes bug out.
Oh the shame i had to google who Chromedome is.
Whoa…the Alt Text offers a deeper meaning than I thought…No wonder Ethan like Chromedome so much…
Also, Billie Curves! Schwing!
Her hips don’t lie.
Nice save by Joyce.
Cute Billie, Hot Ethan, Jealous Joyce….and Mike is setup for another one.
well he should be anyway
Billie’s got such an awesomesauce figure.
YUUUUUMMMMM ;-9
?
I’ll be Billie’s dashing stranger any day of the week.
SHUT UP, JOYCE! CHROMEDOME AND REWIND ARE AWESOME!! 🙁
Aaaa Billie is too hot for her own good. :U
Y’know…it’s just Billie’s luck that the one person she expresses interest in kissing is apparently the one person on campus not interested in kissing her (other than Walky). >_>
Her track record is way worse than one person. Ethan. Sal. Joe. Danny. Tony.
The second Billie’s hips started moving like that, 70’s porno music started blasting over the intercom.
(Do colleges even HAVE intercoms?)
Not that I recall, Avery.
But they do have fire alarms. Those definitely go on, cuz she’s so hot haha
I thought the catch was the guy Ethan met at last nights Frat party
Comments Section:
85% Billie is hot
15% Everything else
Why bother denying the truth?
Yeah, I know, far too little talk about Billie…
Some people just have messed up priorities, I guess.
I never comment on comics, but I just saw something that I’m surprised Dina doesn’t already have. It is Dina, right? The dinosaur-lover? Anyway: http://imgur.com/r/funny/MXAwQUi. It’s slogan may as well be “Now you, too can look like a dilophosaurus!”
“What’s the catch, Ethan?”
“I have a thing for Joyce’s rock hard…penis. A mouth thing.”
Despite being in the background of several comics, this is the first time Mike’s said anything on camera. I like the idea that he hangs around all these people just waiting for the perfect time to be a complete dick.
Something that interests me though, Mike just be a dick in DoA. That’s all we see him doing, but he, Ethan and Amber were friends in high school. I can’t imagine anyone being friends with Mike based solely on his on-camera behavior. In the beginning, Ethan and Mike hung out together a few times. I assume they still do. But there’s no indication of what they talk about.
Mike doing what he does best.
You know the phrase “I’d go gay for you”? It appears that Billie is the one girl Ethan would go straight for judging by his expression.
(Also, sorry if I got the question mark/parentheses thing wrong)
I think he’s more alarmed than aroused, though I spent a while eyeing his face too.
Oh my god, now it looks like Billie’s head is being slowly devoured by a black watermelon!
More like some robot GAY named Chromedome, in case you haven’t read the comics
