Word is getting around that Joyce will do your laundry for you, and everyone on the floor is taking advantage. She’s fine with it, it ensures no one walks in on her.
As someone who obsessively shows up early to every appointment, and then worries that I’m too early and will come off as a weirdo if I don’t sit in my car for fifteen minutes, I feel called out.
i think if Joe had showed up at my dorm room door, dressed like that, to take me to class in a date-ly capacity, my closeted ass would have sprung a nosebleed so bad I died on the spot.
Maybe he and Danny went out together to get flowers for their respective ladies!! Perhaps that was the advice Danny gave him, I would die of the cute <3 <3
I’m going to find it odd if it’s the case that Joyce & Sarah aren’t in their rooms as the same time as Sal isn’t when they all probably have the same class that morning.
No, Joe, no. You’re risking an encounter with an angry Sarah.* The better approach would have been to text Joyce asking to meet for biology, and if anyone thought it was suspiciously early you could have reminded her of the time she had you dragged out of bed because it wasn’t early enough.
* Because dealing-with-Joe-Sarah is Angry-Sarah by default, that’s why.
I’ reiminded of an old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups commercial. “I like to eat one now, and save the other one for later.” *waits a few seconds* “It’s later!”
Speaking of Reese’s Cups, my teen very excitedly announced that her new discovery of dipping chocolate into peanut butter was the best thing ever. Ha. Then I forced her to watch several antique Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials from my yut.
I’m not sure Richard’s problem was ever so much “going steady” as it was “remaining faithful once in such a relationship,” but if Joe believes Richard is actually doing that this time, I could see that impacting Joe’s thoughts on himself.
Joyce: Who’s there?
Joe: It’s Joe.
Joyce: …………. Would you liked to come in?
Joe: Sure.
Joyce: Um… I’m naked.
Joe’s voice issues from doorknob level; his knees have given way: Yes, please.
Door opens. Joe adjusts trousers. Crawls in.
This is rather adorable; I honestly believe that this is the first time, in his life, where he is trying to form an actual relationship, rather than a sexual conquest.
wow i love this! the linework, the posing, the subjects (<3)
in-comic, we don't often see malaya express emotions outside of their usual palette of annoyance and indifference – but the roller derby scene showcased a very confident, in-their-element malaya. i can totally imagine them just leaping for marcie after a great drill.
Very nice! Even the hands are convincing, and great personality and movement. PS Everyone reading this, it’s safe for families although possibly the “next panel” in the action might not be.

I should have read further down.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Joe is down bad.
You mean down adorable.
Time is just an abstract concept, Joe.
This strip is just a knock knock joke.
Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.
He can make this better by casually whistling. Unless he does that nervous off-embrochure whistling people do when…they…don’t…want…to…seem…too…eager.
Unfortunately Joyce sleeps through morning class because she was up all night doing laundry.
You could even say she was… up all night to get laundry.
…I’ll see myself out
Up all night til the sun, huh?
Word is getting around that Joyce will do your laundry for you, and everyone on the floor is taking advantage. She’s fine with it, it ensures no one walks in on her.
Nope. It’s too early to post a comment here. I’ll seem too eager.
It’s slightly less early, now.
Having a hard time, thank you for the smile
Hope things look up for you soon
Comment didn’t go through—I appreciate it.
joe you’re overthinking it
Prediction: Sarah pops out and hits him for knocking on the door wicked early then running away the first time.
“Wicked Early”? You’re making me miss New Hampshire.
I’m not english I don’t know what any hampshire has to do with this
Using “wicked” as an intensifier is evidently New England dialect.
I’m not new english either, pretty sure that area was made up by stephen king
Prediction: bleary-eyed Joyce slowly opens the door and says, “Wazzit? I was just falling asleep.”
As someone who obsessively shows up early to every appointment, and then worries that I’m too early and will come off as a weirdo if I don’t sit in my car for fifteen minutes, I feel called out.
You’re a monster!
Just knock on the door.
I usually just wait around a corner for them to leave for unrelated reasons then pop out to give them the tupperware I borrowed or whatever.
Yeah, I know that feeling. Sorta.
Two knocks is eager three knocks is waiting with bated breath.
i think if Joe had showed up at my dorm room door, dressed like that, to take me to class in a date-ly capacity, my closeted ass would have sprung a nosebleed so bad I died on the spot.
No one deserves to die of an anime trope.
There are some cool anime tropes. I wouldn’t rate a nosebleed too high, but I’d be okay dying in a Single Stroke Battle.
Personally if i’m gonna go out in an anime trope, i want it to be a Macross Missile Barrage
Relatable, but i hope your ass doesn’t have nosebleeds often, sounds dangerous ;P
Reminds me of a thing my dad used to say: “No, don’t do [x]. You’ll get a cold in your butt and live forever. Wouldn’t that be awful?”
Knock! Three! Times!/On the ceiling/If you want me…
I hate you for putting that in my head.
I love it that you reminded me of that song.
It’s like listening to 70’s radio with you. 🙂
“Just a… mmm… minute… I’m almmmmost… I’ll be right… almost there…”
Joe Joy’s Bizarre Adventure continues!!!
What’re you holding in your right hand, Joe? It’s very noticeably out of sight.
If it’s flowers that’ll be PRECIOUS.
Oh dang, didn’t even notice, nice work
Everybody looking at him, with flowers in the hand. Like: WTF Dude? Are you going to apologize Sarah?
Maybe he and Danny went out together to get flowers for their respective ladies!! Perhaps that was the advice Danny gave him, I would die of the cute <3 <3
Joe it’s fine, she wants your booty.
The feeling is mutual.
I’m really starting to groove on Lovestruck Joe.
I’m going to find it odd if it’s the case that Joyce & Sarah aren’t in their rooms as the same time as Sal isn’t when they all probably have the same class that morning.
I think Sarah left Joyce early for some kind of study group? But maybe Joyce isn’t there….
I’m sure she’s coming.
I see what you did there
Good timing, Joe.
Joe you can’t come in right now, she’s with Other Joe
My brain released so much dopamine at the thought of more Joyce/Joe interactions gaaah
When is this going to stop being adorable. Hopefully never.
I wonder what he’s got in his hand for her. A flower/multiple flowers? God, what if it’s another drawing?
Bang bang, on the door Baby
No, Joe, no. You’re risking an encounter with an angry Sarah.* The better approach would have been to text Joyce asking to meet for biology, and if anyone thought it was suspiciously early you could have reminded her of the time she had you dragged out of bed because it wasn’t early enough.
* Because dealing-with-Joe-Sarah is Angry-Sarah by default, that’s why.
Now I’m wondering just how early Joe is.
Hey, some people like eager, Joe!
kek the cherry on the cake would’ve been if he shaved before coming to Joyce’s room XD
I’m visualizing a naked arm coming out the door and dragging him in.
like a horny trapdoor spider
Yeaah, my bet is their first time will happen in this “Joementum” episode.
I’ reiminded of an old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups commercial. “I like to eat one now, and save the other one for later.” *waits a few seconds* “It’s later!”
There’s a bit in the English dub of Digimon after the DigiDestined get split up the second(?) time and Joe and Gomamon are lost at sea.
“20 minutes is not that much later!”
And, from the opposite end…

Speaking of Reese’s Cups, my teen very excitedly announced that her new discovery of dipping chocolate into peanut butter was the best thing ever. Ha. Then I forced her to watch several antique Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials from my yut.
A thought that just corssed my mind, but I wonder how much Joe’s father actually going steady has influenced Joe’s own attitude…
I’m not sure Richard’s problem was ever so much “going steady” as it was “remaining faithful once in such a relationship,” but if Joe believes Richard is actually doing that this time, I could see that impacting Joe’s thoughts on himself.
Lt. Joe reporting for escort duty
Look, I do wanna see more Joe & Joyce, but I really need to see Walky & Lucy’s post-breakfast debrief
That’s why we have to wait!
At this point i think Willis is just trying yo in invent new pride flags. ( yellow green? )
Nice shirt Joe.
Flushed and rumpled Joyce answers the door ‘Oh hi Joe, I was just …thinking about you’.
“And I no longer calm anything ‘Other Jacob’. “
Joyce: Who’s there?
Joe: It’s Joe.
Joyce: …………. Would you liked to come in?
Joe: Sure.
Joyce: Um… I’m naked.
Joe’s voice issues from doorknob level; his knees have given way: Yes, please.
Door opens. Joe adjusts trousers. Crawls in.
JOE’S BRAIN used SELF-DOUBT!
It’s super effective!
Surely there must be a recovery item in his inventory…
Is it just me or is Joe very nearly wearing a SEMME stripe shirt?
I like that Sarah’s STILL got the drawing of herself as a witch up in January because she loves it that much.
It was worth the two pretzels. Fuck, it was worth talking to Mary.
So I went to look back at that strip, and I came across this image: https://imgur.io/95LbA3P
Which apparently I made? I have no memory of doing this.
Joyce pays the price for masturbating.
Exactly how hot and bothered is Joyce going to be when she opens the door?
This is really adorable
Vulnerable Joe is best Joe.
This is rather adorable; I honestly believe that this is the first time, in his life, where he is trying to form an actual relationship, rather than a sexual conquest.
Things seem to work out well for alpha bongo Joyce
But there never seems to be enough time,
To do the things you want to do, once you find them!
I’m glad so many other people are getting the dopamine rush this is giving me.
if i was as productive and focused and painstaking with my work as i am with my procrastination, well, i would certainly be a very different person
wow i love this! the linework, the posing, the subjects (<3)

I also love this. Love fan art by a real artist. I bet original creators like seeing other peoples takes on their character.
*peoples’*
So i’ve never had an original experience…
