It lacks any form of taste. Indeed, it is a black hole of taste, a void of nothing in your mouth. If chewed too long, it will erase your ability to taste anything at all.
Apparently the 90’s are coming back into style, I see so many people with the crazy colored sunglasses. The ten years it took me to escape the 90’s were for nothing!
I have been called “homeslice”, close to 20 years ago. It is somewhat more respectable than “cracker”, which I heard some fidiot use to describe HIMSELF.
Come to think of it; all of Joyce’s slang would have come from fellow home-schoolees, their parents, or her parents. She has had very limited exposure to current popular culture. Homeslice is a term her parents would have picked up around the same time I did.
Know if only in the next strip Malaya walked by holding her side from the previous ass whooping she got it would be Christmas for you….why do I feel like Joyce and Malaya would instantly not like each other.
I’m sure half of them are at least thinking of girl tushies, if not equal opportunity tush thinkers. (Which they should all be, if gender studies has accomplished anything!)
Omg! Not till you said that, but it’s perfect! That is one sexy Joyce in panel 2. “I got chills! They’re multiplying, and I’m looosing contro-ol . . .”
Loading ...
Hovertext: Dirty Girl!
JOYCE: Yeah, I’m just thinkin’ ’bout these boys’ tushies… suckin’ on this eraser….”
Throw in some Dina and Riley. No one will survive the cute!
Totally responded to the wrong comment, whoo.
It still kinda works, AgentKeen!
JOYCE: “Boy tushes… Yeah. I mean, I like boys and butts… Right?!” *aggressively tries to go back to thinking about boy tushes*
Dina: “I only think about dinosaur tushies.”
Riley: Boys are gross. Cereal.
Cereal tushies?
Better not be tushies in my cereal…
Cinnamon Toast Butts
dangit, now I want Cinnamon Toast Butts
Cinnamon Tush Butts
With Riley around, we’ll never again have to worry that soggies may rule!
These two finally meet again! JUST WHAT EVERYBODY WAS WAITING FOR
…we were?
I was waiting for money to fall out of the sky.
I was waiting for a lady that I can cuddle and geek out with until I die.
AKA Sierra?
AKA an insane person.
Why do you say that? I have been married for 36 years now, and if I can do it…
Yeah, that’s on my 10 things that will never happen to me list.
Yotomoe will never cuddle and geek out with you?
Wonder how the pencil eraser tastes.
Like rebellion!
They taste overrated that’s what.
Like chicken.
A rubber chicken.
With a pulley in the middle?
I already have one of those.
Like your mom for a nickel
(….I’m trying to stay away from these jokes…for personal reasons…But it was too easy.)
Not as easy as his mother, though.
It lacks any form of taste. Indeed, it is a black hole of taste, a void of nothing in your mouth. If chewed too long, it will erase your ability to taste anything at all.
I see what you did there.
The eraser tastes like mistakes
I’M GONNA LET THAT SIT FOR AWHILE IT CAN GO IN SO MANY WONDERFUL DIRECTIONS!!
Biting the eraser end? Ain’t that a tad unhealthy?
It is is you borrowed the pencil from me. I hate getting back a chewed pencil.
Joyce don’t care ’bout your safety concerns. She plays by her own rules, homes.
Joyce:”Ya Dog, except for the rules of my lord and savoir Jesus christ, ya I’m a bad mother fudger!”
She ain’t eatin’ it.
I love her orange early-90s sunglasses.
Apparently the 90’s are coming back into style, I see so many people with the crazy colored sunglasses. The ten years it took me to escape the 90’s were for nothing!
HOMESLICE!? No one has ever used that before why she…
Is that even a word?
I’ve heard people say “Homeslice.”
But not, you know, nowadays..
It is! (Though I’m kinda surprised that Willis knows it! Man of many surprises . . . )

It was a word, but I haven’t heard it since the ’90s. And even then, I don’t think I ever heard anyone use it as anything other than a joke.
Home-slice is a word that dorky white people say to sound hip.
In that case I should start using it more.
Alt-Text: ‘Allowing myself to look at boy-tushies’
NOW HOLD ON, that’s obviously too far.
(Alternatively, not far enough; make sure to look at some girl-tushies, too)
All tushes of every size, race and creed deserve your imagination. This was the lesson taught by the prophet, “Sir Mix-a-Lot”.
It took me years to forget that song! Now I have to start all over again! Thanks, Yo…
Dial 1-900-YOTOMOE
and kick them nasty thoughts
Oh okay, I get it, this is going to be the best storyline I’ve ever read.
Joyce smile. It’s ALL CONSUMING when combined with Sal’s Jacket!
It’s already consumed 40% of her head.
Smile is + 5 with equip item “Sal’s Jacket”
Let’s just hope she never wears Sal’s jacket.
2nd panel Joyce is coolest Joyce!
Joyce is the best.
Not gonna lie, Joyce pulls off the aggressively disinterested stare really well.
If only she wasn’t holding a pencil in her mouth, then maybe people would take her seriously
She should use these candy sticks instead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Style_FADS_Fun_Sticks_candy.jpg
Or these things: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8237/8536280990_ce722a6b1f.jpg

Or just go the way of 4kids.
Half-surprised no one suggested Pocky!
Only cos I’m not sure Joyce even knows who this “Annie-May” is, let alone know what it is.
She’s just channeling her natural behavior when in biology class.
Nah, even if she doesn’t believe any of it, I’m sure Joyce is the sort to take perfect notes and color code everything and dot all the Is with hearts.
This has potential to be absolutely hilarious. Which is good. We could use some hilarity after the grimdark storyline.
I agree. Lovin’ the dark storyline here, but I’m glad some palate-cleansing is on the menu.
It disturbs me mildly to realise just how much I visualise you as looking like your avatar. (And yes, I know who she is.)
(Well, that was a random comment on my part.)
I wish I looked like Lisa. But the dye would probably kill my hair dead and in any case I doubt my frizzy mop would divide nicely into six pigtails.
Yeah, ironing your hair to straighten it does sound time-consuming.
Until Amazi-Girl shows up and beats her up.
“Homeslice”? Where did Joyce pick that up, and what in the world does it mean?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Homeslice
Imagine if someone cut your home into equal portions. 1 of those portions would be a home slice.
+ 5
Not picking the cheese off your sandwich? Now that’s hardcore Joyce. God Bless Ya sister!
No, hardcore is keeping the pickles on.
If that’s hardcore, then I’m the most hardcore dude around. Heck, I asked for the pickles.
WHOA! That’s totally metal dude! *does Bill & Ted style air-guitar*
Man I eat the the tomatoes and ask for extra pickles.
And this is the same girl who dissected her tacos?
Picking the cheese off your sandwich is like sleeping in a bed that has no blankets.
So…most beds in Malaysia then.
Best Character’s back.
Know if only in the next strip Malaya walked by holding her side from the previous ass whooping she got it would be Christmas for you….why do I feel like Joyce and Malaya would instantly not like each other.
Because Malaya hates everybody.
And no one likes Malaya.
Except UC.
Who doesn’t exist.
But Ultracarla does.
Carla actually doesn’t seem too taken with her either. Maybe with some more time. Malaya kind of grows on you. Like toe fungus.
I assume every character that’s just staring blankly is thinking of boy-tushies.
Even Ruth?
Especially Walky.
Even Dina’s parents?
I’m sure half of them are at least thinking of girl tushies, if not equal opportunity tush thinkers. (Which they should all be, if gender studies has accomplished anything!)
Anyone else reminded of the final scenes of Grease? We might just have Sandra Joyce on our hands.
Omg! Not till you said that, but it’s perfect! That is one sexy Joyce in panel 2. “I got chills! They’re multiplying, and I’m looosing contro-ol . . .”
Joyce as Sandra-dee YES, Ethan as Danny, NOOOO!
Hmmm… Good point. Ethan has to be what’s-his-name, the boy cheerleader. So Danny must be played by . . . gasp! . . . Walky!!!!
No no Walky has to play Mike…then again can he imitate mike?
I like her Calvinesque triangle smile in the last panel.
Ooh. Joyce and Sierra as Calvin and Hobbes fanart, anyone?
Sierra would have to pounce on Joyce daily.
But Joyce, cheese is evil! D:
Cheese is evil? What alternate universe are you from?
More like he is amoral. Well, depending on who is controlling him.
Joyce is now my second favorite. Dina as first.
Can’t spell today.
“Homeslice”? Whaaaaaaaaat?
Yeah…does anyone really say Homeslice in real life or is it just like “Golly Gee Willikers”?
Joyce plays that character too well.
If Joyce did this next to Sal it’d be like John Belushi doing Joe Cocker in SNL (showing my age).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZsOyO_lXD8
Joyce is my favorite because she is just so…. I dunno. I just like her.
Adorable?
AAAAAAAAAand I just died from cuteness.
That gives necroposting a new meaning.
So has something similar happened to little Willis? Found an “idol”, tried to mimic it? Even if not so obviously like Joyce does here.
Wait Joyce why would you pick the cheese off your sandwich instead of the vegetables, that is silly. Also HOMESLICE I love it.
Has noone really heard the phrase Homeslice? Like I’ve heard it TONS of times.
I know, right? I heard it plenty in high school, and I’ve still got a couple friends who use it pretty frequently.
#Y’ALLCAN’THANDLETHISRELIGOUSSWAGGER!!!
That Grav match… it almost burns with how perfect it is.
Man she has this coolness thing down.
Sierra, you are just a bit of an enabler there.
God damnit Joyce.
I am cringing so hard at Joyce right now.
Kyeheheheheheheh…..
am I weird for thinking joyce looks hot in the second panel
Why, yes, yes you are.
If you are, you’re not the only weird one here. I’m diggin’ what she’s done with her hair.
By the rate Joyce is going, she may end up in jail at the end of this chapter! So hardcore…
Using a pencil as a cigarette: it’s what all the cool kids are doing.
omg joyce youre so adorable
Young, Dumb, and
UglyCute as a Basket of KittensCute as a basket of kittens?
Keep on tryin’, Joyce. You’ll get it eventually.
Panel 2 has the best expression ever
Joyce in that second panel: kinda pulling off being cool.
…Doesn’t Sal usually give eye contact when she speaks?
Is Joyce channeling more of a distorted Goofus-like caricature of a character from Christian education shows than the actual “cool person” she knows?
WANT MORE SIERRA NAO
I seriously had to stop reading for a bit while reading panel two because I was laughing too hard. Precious.
is it weird that I think Joyce looks way cooler than Sal with this look? I think it’s the more expressive eyes.
boy tushies are about 70% of rebelstyles
The other 30% is girl tushies.
Joyce is best rebel.
Got to love Joyce’s attempted cool look. I’m thinking a straw would be a better cig substitute than a pencil. 😛
Sierra is an enabler.
Joyce needs a song:
Rebel Yell
or
White Wedding
I’m not sure.
OMG these two are SO cute together <3
Aww, Joyce is so cute, she is edging up closer to Dina on my cuteness list.
Now all she needs is pocky instead of a pencil and she’d be even w/ dina.
“Boy-tushies”
Just… “boy-tushies”
Probably the most wonderful Joyce word I’ve heard so far.
Soooo cute!
Okay, now you’re doing it wrong. In all the ways.
Her journey to The Dark Side has begun.
Sal, meet your new apprentice.
CUTEST. TEEN REBELLION. EVER!
If Dumbing of Age ever gets its own spin-off, Cruisin’ Rebelstyle starring Cool Joyce would be the logical choice.
And I randomly get assigned a Sal Avatar, how cool is that 😀
It was a PENCIL? Nice save there – from the last comic it really looked like she was taking up smoking. Kudos on the fakeout.
I think Joyce has the look and the attitude down…
Just not the content…
