As a Christian who’s never been a big fan of “How Great Is Our God,” Tenn, I find your suggestion hilarious and will undoubtedly think of the song that way from now on. Nicely done.
But I’ve always liked the song they’re singing in the fourth panel.
My sister once re-lyricised a hymn not sure of the title, (the original version included the line “someday every tongue will admit you are god/ someday every knee will bow”) into something about cleaning up your house. In church.
Man, I felt sure that I was gonna get struck down then and there for even considering such a thing.
That would be “Come, Now Is The Time To Worship.” I used to be in a choir that sang that song quite frequently. We also did various signs with our hands to go with the music for that song.
It’s a good song, but it’s also twenty-three years old.
I wonder if perhaps this church is not quite as youth-aware
and modern as they are advertising themselves to be.
Nowadays they’d probably be singing something from Chris
Tomlin or David Crowder Band.
Not youth-aware? Depending upon the arrangement, this song can be very much up-tempo. Most Chris Tomlin and David Crowder Band* songs I’ve heard are much more of a “headed into prayer” feeling rather than a “let’s do something to raise our pulse that’s acceptable in public.” Besides, it’s past the Gaither generation of songs that most of their parents would’ve sung in the pews.
Besides, this is a great song to get the little kids involved with worship because they have lots of actions to go along with the song.
I’m pretty sure it everybody gets the chance. It’s just that the people who have never experienced it simply didn’t put the right words together to make it happen. I knew I should’ve have said “Let’s go get a Big Mac.”
Sure we are, I know a girl who slept with hobo on a train. I also had a room mate who picked up without fail by bluntly asking every girl at a club and moving on immediately until he got a yes. All one night stands require is daring, an egregious lack of standards, and persistence. You, sir, have totally had an opportunity; you simply weren’t desperate enough at the time!
I feel compelled to mention that I in no way endorse being desperate for sex. It’s just if the only criteria is sex and not with whom or what fall out may occur then you’re not really trying.
Everyone might get an “opportunity” if its defined that way, but what happened to Danny here was pretty $#%^ lucky. He didn’t really do anything it just fell into his lap (semi-figuratively) about 1 minute after meeting the girl. THAT is pretty rare indeed.
Trust me, it’s not nearly as awesome as the media makes it out to be. The kind of people who regularly do the random hookup thing, I have found, are usually not the kind of people I want to have as a part of my life, much less in my vag.
It seemed to me that it was happening to everyone in college EXCEPT me. Then it finally did happen, but she was a girlfriend, not a random party hookup.
Quote? Luxury! We had to come up with our own jokes, and if we didn’t laugh, our dad would flog us until we came up with a better one. If we did laugh, he would flog us for enjoying ourselves!
Probably hard to tell since the post I was replying to isn’t even on the same page any more, but I was saying a more appropriate version of a SW quote would be “Those are no moons…”
I’m wondering where Joe is at this point, probability on route back to his room after some Saturday night Joeing . If that is right, does he walk in prior, during or post business?
I hope it isn’t prior for his sake because I don’t think he will get over the guilt of cockblocking Danny so heinously. Mind you the state Billie is in at this point I’m not sure that would stop her.
I think only Danny could do that now. Will he? Tune in tomorrow!!!
Did ya notice that every character in the last panel is looking in a different direction? I thought that meant it was a very overproduced service with too much in the way of distracting visuals…
It isn’t. He’s admitted sleeping with at least one ex to Amber, and Dorothy has pretty much admitted to not being a virgin after ‘PRE-MARITAL HANKY PANKY!’
surprizingly enough there are lots of them. the key is separating the ones who are just looking for any excuse to get laid from the ones who just have self-esteem issues…
Some place you find crazy ex’s and other poor life choices. Finding a girl who’s just looking for something casual takes more work, but there’s less crazy involved.
I think the fast is part of the problem. Billy is positively starving for this kind of attention right now. With a proper education, she may eventually learn how to seek out more nutritious fare, rather than the nearest available twinkie.
Also, the last scene was made so much more mildly mindblowing by the fact that agnostic me remembers the tune and lyrics of that song almost perfectly from my church camp childhood.
And now we find out what kind of guy Danny really is. Does he just say “Yay sex!” and let it ride, or does he try to slow things down and find out just what is actually going on here?
I think it depends on how much time he is given to think about it. With a little thought, I think most guys would at least question the situation and try to figure out *why* a random woman was suddenly going to sleep with them. Considering that they are moments away from ‘hanky panky’ though, I kind of doubt it.
Meeting a stranger at party is different from one showing up at your door one morning. I would hope that most guys would, while struggling to find a condom, have enough time to notice who awkward the situation is. And sex should never start out awkward.
I seem to recall there was something about a masked vigilante that she was supposed to be investigating… Oh well! Sexy times!
And as Dorothy stares up at the ceiling wondering where to look, I can help but remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is staring up praying to god and Marge walks in saying “Homer that’s not God. That’s a waffle that Bart threw up there.”
Well, this was a good way to dispel the post-Superbowl-loss blues. It helps that Billie is, in my opinion, the hottest character and for her to get laid first makes sense.
I’ll echo the despair from other posters that college isn’t really like this
As a parody of all the sites that tried to tell me which browser I should use to view the site, I put this on my old website:
“Best viewed on a computer. You can try viewing it on your stereo, but
don’t come crying to me if it’s blurry or whatever.”
I guess I was raised different – that noisy rambunctious church service looks appalling by all religious standards I’m familiar with. Even accounting for her religious proclivities, I find it almost incomprehensible that Joyce, or anyone seriously religious, could be enjoying it.
Somewhat shockingly, this reaction is more powerful than my personal atheistic reaction – though have no doubt, that part of me finds noisy church services repellent as well. Taken those two reactions together, that last panel is almost painful to look at. Yikes.
A few years ago when I’ve had my confirmation (now I’m agnostic), we had a choir singing “Groß ist unser Gott” accompanied by a keyboarder, a guitarist and me on the drums.
Atheistic objections aside a lot of Protestant churches with younger audiences, especially all younger like at a youth camp or college campus, have concert esque music sections. The idea is that it’s great to be upbeat passionate and, well, have fun worshiping God. “Make a joyful noise” and all that.
In my mind going to church every week in a certain
day and hour, listening to some guy lecture you about lifestyle and singing songs about Jesus and whatnot is crazy religious.
Yeah. Going to church is kind of the bare minimum standard most people use to determine whether someone is religious. (Although, not going to comment on whether or not that’s a good way to judge how religious someone actually is.)
I, for one, go to the agnostic church, otherwise known as “The Church of Fluffy Pillows and a Comfortable Matress.)
I have never been in a service as far as I know(if getting baptized doesn’t count). I think Eastern Christianity only has them on holidays. Also I’m not religious(like most people around). But in Eastern Christianity going to church is usually limited to: go in, light a candle, look at icons, leave. It’s very well separated from politics and everyday life in general which I think is pretty good. Going to church is still not unpleasant though because they are usually very old and beautiful buildings. And btw my country is absolute shit(which has absolutely nothing to do with religion). That’s why it seems weird that the most powerful and scary country in the world can’t(or doesn’t want to) keep it’s shizzle separated. “Normally religious” in the western world to me may be way closer to Billy than to Joyce as Billie acknowledges she believes in something, but it doesn’t matter enough to her to try to save face in front of it every Sunday. She is still kinda odd because she thinks it’s weird than someone might not be religious at all.
Also if you are creationist as in “4000 years ago Adam and Eve and so on” you ARE crazy religious. Deal with it.
In the lands from whence I come, hymns are sung sitting down. Also none of this clapping business; if any part of you is moving except your mouth, you’re doing it wrong. (Though certain exceptions are made if your little kids are trying to make a run for it.)
Basically the group tries to imitate an old-fashioned choir.
Is she trying to “fix” Danny so he won’t be shy around cheerleaders anymore? Does she need this to regain her self-confidence? Makes me think of the bit between Di and Baxter on “Fans!”
Hope no one pulls a robin and replaced Billies birth control pills with mints or was it tic tacs or Danny remembers to wear a condom otherwise the results will closley resemble another event in the walkyverse though in this situation involves two freshman college students who for the most part unemployed. I only bring this up beacuse this is happening very quicIiikly and, hormone crazed teenagers sometimes forget to think.
Also this was written on my touch screen phone please excuse the spelling and grammarits hard as hell to write more then 2 senteces on this thing.
Hahaha! Oh, I see! I missed Friday’s strip. Hee! I THOUGHT that was pretty swift to go from “Hi I’m here to interview you” to “Get naked. Now.” XD
–Oh no wait it still is, isn’t it? Oh, Billie. XD
Also, I just typed that as “Billy” and realized there’s all sorts of room for hilarious misunderstandings when Danny says he had sex with “Billy” and someone who doesn’t know Billie gets the wrong idea. “OMG, Danny! College is for trying new things but GAY SEX?! *Gasp*” XD
Sounds like “Married… with children” for me – except Danny isn’t a jock and doesn’t seem to own a car – and he would be more friendly to his kids than Al…
I was a Catholic too, and that song brings back annoying memories for me. I hated the damn rock songs that just repeated over an over at every ‘youth worship.’ I preferred the traditional hymns in Mass.
Hey i’m curious is the song a “representation” of them doing it? Shes on top. So ( Cross to Grave ) [cross] high place {up} [grave] low place {down}. (Grave to sky) [grave] low place {down} [sky] high place up {up}. Then ( lift your name on high ) lift {obviously } High {up}
I know its been like two years since this has been post so you probably wont reply but i’m just curious I’m a reading the “subtext” properly or am i just a perv reading to deeply.
Loading ...
I like that song.
That reminds me, I need to listen to it again sometime.
I prefer “How Great Is Our God.”
That’s one of my favorites as well.
I’d say one of my favorites is “Here is Our King.”
Pardon this heathen, but I immediately imagined that “How Great Is Our God” has the same tune as the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love?” 😀
Close enough… lol
As a Christian who’s never been a big fan of “How Great Is Our God,” Tenn, I find your suggestion hilarious and will undoubtedly think of the song that way from now on. Nicely done.
But I’ve always liked the song they’re singing in the fourth panel.
My sister once re-lyricised a hymn not sure of the title, (the original version included the line “someday every tongue will admit you are god/ someday every knee will bow”) into something about cleaning up your house. In church.

That would be “Come, Now Is The Time To Worship.” I used to be in a choir that sang that song quite frequently. We also did various signs with our hands to go with the music for that song.
Alan
Oh my god I haven’t thought about church music in years. I didn’t even remember I knew that song until now.
It’s a good song, but it’s also twenty-three years old.
I wonder if perhaps this church is not quite as youth-aware
and modern as they are advertising themselves to be.
Nowadays they’d probably be singing something from Chris
Tomlin or David Crowder Band.
My church discovered the traditional “official” Anglican hymnal. we totally sing that now because you can make anything sound awesome.
Not youth-aware? Depending upon the arrangement, this song can be very much up-tempo. Most Chris Tomlin and David Crowder Band* songs I’ve heard are much more of a “headed into prayer” feeling rather than a “let’s do something to raise our pulse that’s acceptable in public.” Besides, it’s past the Gaither generation of songs that most of their parents would’ve sung in the pews.
Besides, this is a great song to get the little kids involved with worship because they have lots of actions to go along with the song.
XD nice!
I’ve always liked the News Boys, especially “Breakfast” and “Everywhere We Go”
I prefer the Tim Tebow version of “my God is an awesome God”
I LOVE Newsboys, thought my current favorite is the Song “Joy”
I’ve always been a fan of “A Mighty Fortress” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
“This little light of mine” was my random childhood favorite.
You mean this one?
Danny: Dude, I totally just banged a cheerleader.
Dorothy: I was dragged to a church.
Danny: Best day ever!
No you GOT banged by an ex-cheerleader.
Even better.
And your point is?
Just being facetious.
Doesn’t matter, had sex
She let me wear my chain and my turtle neck sweater
With a(n ex-)cheerleader.
Still counts!
LOVE the name, by the way. RvB ftw!
Upvoted.
Wish this happened to me in college.
YEAH. Television LIED TO ME! D=
Yeah, I learned it the hard way when I was 7.
…you learned it’s not that easy to get laid in college when you were 7?
Some people skip a few grades.
No, I learned that television lied to me when I was 7. I learned that it’s not easy to get laid in college when I was 18.
He-Man sword didn’t work for you either, did it.
No, it’s finding out that your dad’s car couldn’t transform into a robot and the neighbor’s cat is not a spy.
It becomes true IF you take enough drugs. 😛
It wasn’t? I guess the eighties were a different time.
Oh no, it DOES happen. I guess you were just on the other side of the statistics.
Like Dorothy.
I’m pretty sure it everybody gets the chance. It’s just that the people who have never experienced it simply didn’t put the right words together to make it happen. I knew I should’ve have said “Let’s go get a Big Mac.”
Your naivety astounds me. Unfortunately we are not all so lucky to have such an opportunity.
Billie made her opportunity.
Sure we are, I know a girl who slept with hobo on a train. I also had a room mate who picked up without fail by bluntly asking every girl at a club and moving on immediately until he got a yes. All one night stands require is daring, an egregious lack of standards, and persistence. You, sir, have totally had an opportunity; you simply weren’t desperate enough at the time!
I feel compelled to mention that I in no way endorse being desperate for sex. It’s just if the only criteria is sex and not with whom or what fall out may occur then you’re not really trying.
Everyone might get an “opportunity” if its defined that way, but what happened to Danny here was pretty $#%^ lucky. He didn’t really do anything it just fell into his lap (semi-figuratively) about 1 minute after meeting the girl. THAT is pretty rare indeed.
Trust me, it’s not nearly as awesome as the media makes it out to be. The kind of people who regularly do the random hookup thing, I have found, are usually not the kind of people I want to have as a part of my life, much less in my vag.
Pretty much same here, except switch ‘vag’ for ‘penis’. Alternatively with ‘on my FAAACE’.
I really can’t imagine wanting anyone in my penis…
Yeah me too- oh wait, yeah I did have this happen once. My bad.
It seemed to me that it was happening to everyone in college EXCEPT me. Then it finally did happen, but she was a girlfriend, not a random party hookup.
Welp.
Again.
At the rate this litter’s growing, you’ll be able to reenact 101 Dalmatians.
Yuuup.
Bravo willis bravo.
Oh man, this is the best scene change ever.
yes
So are we shipping these two now?
Your avatar looks terrified of that prospect.
The shipping has turned into ‘docking’. 😀
That’s no moon..
I find you’re lack of faith disturbing.
You find he is lack of faith disturbing? That doesn’t even make sense.
It was an exchange of cliched old Star Wars quotes.
It was a pointed criticism of NF’s use of the incorrect “your.”
That said, trolling is a art and an science.
I used to make “you’re/your” jokes, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
Now I’m stuck doing callibrations.
The next person to use the arrow to the knee line gets a knee to the genitals. 😛
I used to get angry at pop culture references like you, but then I took a knee to the groin…
All you’re base are belong to us?
You kids don’t know how good you have it! Back in my day, we didn’t have internet memes. We had to quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
And we were grateful!
Quote? Luxury! We had to come up with our own jokes, and if we didn’t laugh, our dad would flog us until we came up with a better one. If we did laugh, he would flog us for enjoying ourselves!
Monty Python quotes? “Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do…”
No! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
Aren’t you supposed to rip out their femurs?
From their faaace!
For a nickel.
Etc.
Didn’t you get the memo, we aren’t doing that one for a while. They told all the cool posters . . . . oh.
Some may call the ‘arrow to the knee’ line junk.
Me, I call it treasure.
I see what you did thar.
I think that meme was officially dead at exactly the time Tim Buckley decided it was funny.
Your welcome 🙂

If you’re referring to Billie, shouldn’t that be plural?
Cheerleader(s)?
Probably hard to tell since the post I was replying to isn’t even on the same page any more, but I was saying a more appropriate version of a SW quote would be “Those are no moons…”
Is it “symmetrical docking”?
That would require Sal to join in.
Does it count as shipping if the characters in question are actually doing it?
I thought that the entire point was “Wouldn’t it be cool if these characters hooked up?”
Know who I ship? Fred and Wilma Flintstone. I have all this fanfic where they end up together. Just a little wish fulfillment.
Shipping can be canon or not canon. Plus you don’t know if they’re going to end up together or just knock boots.
Who? Dorothy/Sierra?
From fanservice to worship in a single panel. Impressive.
I guess they all see god in their own way.
That’s why I never go to church. Who knows what I’m missing out on if I just stay at home!
Awkwardly being asked to make yourself scarce while your roommate has sex?
“Awkwardly” would have been an improvement. “Asked” would have been an improvement.
Yep, “forcibly ejected” is pretty much the norm.
Remember a jentleman asks the girl to carry the feet, so he has to carry the heavier end of the roommate.
“Forcibly ejected” is better than “awakened by fierce rocking from lower bunk” . . .
Which is still better than waking up the next day to find your name in the ending credits of a porno.
Now that song is running through my head.
This may even be a step up from “Oh Sweet Mystery of Life”…
This is pretty much the best juxtaposition I’ve ever seen.
Oh god I remember that song from childhood.
And now it’s stuck in my head. :/
I sang the song in my head when I read that…
SOMEBODY HELP ME
Also, more Billie and Danny? I was sorta hoping it wouldn’t happen. Oh well.
I dunno. I have a feeling this is a fling, and not a solid relationship. If previous history is anything to go off of, Danny may make sure of that.
yes, David is good at false leads and dooming relationships, but he is also good at proving fans wrong.
also is your gravatar Freedan from Illusion of Gia. I hope I spell those right, been years since I played the game
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, too.
Yeah…I feel out of the loop on the joke. Why? I wish I knew.
What joke?
Dorothy’s line.
At first I thought “Where exactly should my eye contact be going” was a joke about the song lyrics.
Just realized it’s that Danny’s thinking the exact same thing.
She’s a bit awkward about the whole “existence of God” thing.
I was listening to this while reading this comic, and you know, it fit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2uYs0gJD-LE#!
Somewhere, Joe is grinning ear to ear, and he has no idea why.
strange i pictured something more like;
ლ°□°)ლ”GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!”
‘°_°) “…why did i just do that?”
You win.
I’m wondering where Joe is at this point, probability on route back to his room after some Saturday night Joeing . If that is right, does he walk in prior, during or post business?
I hope it isn’t prior for his sake because I don’t think he will get over the guilt of cockblocking Danny so heinously. Mind you the state Billie is in at this point I’m not sure that would stop her.
I think only Danny could do that now. Will he? Tune in tomorrow!!!
Billie will control the vertical, now get horizontal!
And Danny will expand that image to crystal clarity and beyond.
Sweet.
I totally thought they were watching Billie and Danny at first. Then I remembered the whole church thing.
I would rather keep on thinking that Joyce and the gang are watching Billie and Danny ‘getting it on’ on the big screen at church.
The “eye contact” line kind’a helps with that, doesn’t it? ^_^
Absolutely! It also makes you wonder what type of church secretly films two teenagers having sex live showing it to their parishioners.
the best church on campus, of course!
Did ya notice that every character in the last panel is looking in a different direction? I thought that meant it was a very overproduced service with too much in the way of distracting visuals…
That was my first impression too, then I realized it was a scene change.
Joe: Bow Chicka Wow Wow
That said this can only end badly (the billy and danny thing )
Or just very prematurely, if you know what I mean.
If this is his first time, it very well may have ended for him already…
It isn’t. He’s admitted sleeping with at least one ex to Amber, and Dorothy has pretty much admitted to not being a virgin after ‘PRE-MARITAL HANKY PANKY!’
But it might have been some time.
J/S
Whoopsie. Perusing the archives, I see it was Walky I was thinking about…
So… Billie’s totally sleeping with somebody she just met because he massaged her ego for ten seconds…
Now you truly understand Billie
Where can I find this woman
In comics usually.
Or in your sleep when your lonely at night and need to dream of a companion that can temporarily fulfill your search for selfworth.
Am I the only one who finds this common on my campus?
Actually, I’ve known a few.
Not “known” in the Biblical sense… And no, I don’t have any pictures. Or video. Definitely no video.
Only when your luck points are high enough.
surprizingly enough there are lots of them. the key is separating the ones who are just looking for any excuse to get laid from the ones who just have self-esteem issues…
Some place you find crazy ex’s and other poor life choices. Finding a girl who’s just looking for something casual takes more work, but there’s less crazy involved.
Well, in her defense, Danny’s the first one to massage her ego since they started college.
A week ago.
That didn’t really help her case, did it?
And now he will get to massage her boobies.
The next three weeks will just be Billie and Danny doing it…
…And I’m Joe. Well.
Don’t you love it when comments and gravs come together?
I’m really liking all the different title artwork that’s been going on.
yeah, i noticed that too. good stuff.
…goddammit Billie. You are very insistent on ruining all my pet ships, aren’t you?
For the love of God, don’t forget the condom.
Joe’s hand appears out of a mystic portal and hands Danny the object in question. Either that or Roz’s hand.
I recall her receiving a substantial amount of them.
well Danny did get that signed one, but using it will destroy the collectors value
You mean removing it from the box?
I see what you did there…
Well get out of the way so I can see too…
That the banner add I got under the strip was a site for finding asian women to date was probably a coincidence, right?
Mine is telling me not to smoke, so I’m going to say no. Willis is trying to get his entire audience laid.
Mine is telling me that it is the “EASIEST JOB EVER” and it only takes 10 seconds.
Now that sounds like foreshadowing.
The Ad In Question
“Enter to win.”
I wonder what the prize is.
A free spin of the “Wheel of STD’s.”
The truth is we are being spied by all social media services. Even Google do that. So we will receive specific ads related with our search query.
I don’t know what I’ve been searching for then*, but my ad is for SIN. I can’t imagine anything more appropriate.
* I lie, clearly I’ve been searching for webcomics. No surprise there.
My add is for pizza. This would work much better with a Walky avatar.
Mary looks kinda horrified there. Afraid Billie’s gonna beat her out for “most naked on “camera”?
I misread your comment… “What on Earth gave you the notion that Mary was going to… oh beat her out. Never mind.”
Also, that Tumblr link is going to get so many clicks. So many hilariously disappointed clicks. 😀
who’s disapointed? danny sexy.
Yeah, I was hoping for the second panel. But I expected the third, and so I was not at all disappointed, really.
Well, like Danny said in the previous strip: Nothing but business from now on.
And I’m pondering if there is one business-related pun I didn’t already use.
Well, there seems to be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NF4YMhIPg
– but I don’t think it’s very fitting.
She’s giving him the business all right.
Work it, work work work work it!
Idle hands are the devil’s playthings…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7h5lwYi-wg
Aren’t we going a little to fast here, Billie?
Considering how hot Billie’s acting I’m guessing they’re good to go as fast as they like without risk of chafing.
I think the fast is part of the problem. Billy is positively starving for this kind of attention right now. With a proper education, she may eventually learn how to seek out more nutritious fare, rather than the nearest available twinkie.
Twinkie?
GASP! Danny’s gay?!?
(shipping Danny/Ethan now)
That is the best crack pairing ever. Also, I’ve noticed that your gravatar has made so many of your comments extra hilarious.
Wha? She’s been making comments?
Well I’ll be damned. There are actually words that go along with the boobie avatar.
Once again, woooooooooo go Danny.
Particularly enjoying panel 3…
WELP
Only response possible.
How about “YES! YES!”?
Or, “YES! YES!?”
HOLY SHIT
SIERRA IS RIGHT
YOU TOTALLY CANT SEE HER NAVEL
Hey, a brick joke.
What, Sierra’s in this strip?
Haha, you win for noticing that.
Wait — so the redheaded guy in the last panel is a doctor? I suppose his last name is Pepper?
I was just kidding about the “business” part last week, I didn’t know that it would happen.
Is there a word for getting pranked on the Internet?
Rick-rolled
Trolled
Possibly some others I’m forgetting right now — but I just got home from work, and I’m exhausted. Retail sucks.
Please tell me there’s no camera recording this.
Please tell me there is one.
Oh, wait, that’s Billie… Not Ethan.
GET SOME, DANNY.
Also, the last scene was made so much more mildly mindblowing by the fact that agnostic me remembers the tune and lyrics of that song almost perfectly from my church camp childhood.
It’s stuck in my head now, thanks.
Also, your wife was totally right, those hipbone/muscle lines really do make Danny +100 hotter.
SUCCESS
And as always his icon lines up perfectly with his message XD
Your wife teaches you how to draw hot dudes?
You have the BEST wife.
Danny’d better remember to use one of Joe’s condoms…
4 months later, heeeerrrreeee comes ‘Good Ol’ Deej’! Complete with Action Fetal Alcohol Syndrome!
………………God, that was DARK, wasn’t it?……
Not by internet standards.
Thats only the tip of the iceberg
You mean he–
Wait… Not gonna make that joke. This isn’t 4chan.
Well Billie could be on birth control of course Joyce or someone else could pull a Robin and mistake her birth control pills for mints.
Wow, that was a bit faster than I expected. (Which perhaps is what she will say soon?)
right now Joe and Dorothy are probably going to feel a strange disturbance in the force.
UH OH BILLIE!
Why would Dotty be feeling a strange disturbance in the Force? Joe, I can understand but Dotty?
Best part, recorder is still on
Oh dear. Let’s just hope someone didn’t play the recording at a later time.
Oh my GOD I hope so! Hijinks!
It just means a character won’t ruin the moment. That or they will promise not to tell then someone gets the recording.
GDI! I hate not being able to predict what happens next. >_<
So is it weird that I have never once heard the song referenced here?
nope
And now we find out what kind of guy Danny really is. Does he just say “Yay sex!” and let it ride, or does he try to slow things down and find out just what is actually going on here?
A normal guy would do the former but there are rare cases where a guy would do the latter.
I think it depends on how much time he is given to think about it. With a little thought, I think most guys would at least question the situation and try to figure out *why* a random woman was suddenly going to sleep with them. Considering that they are moments away from ‘hanky panky’ though, I kind of doubt it.
Meeting a stranger at party is different from one showing up at your door one morning. I would hope that most guys would, while struggling to find a condom, have enough time to notice who awkward the situation is. And sex should never start out awkward.
From my experience, as long as it doesn’t end awkwardly it’s fine. Also, Joyce gravatar is the best gravatar for comments like these!
Just always remember, it’s good and even healthy to laugh in the bedroom, just so long as you’re not pointing while you’re doing it.
I seem to recall there was something about a masked vigilante that she was supposed to be investigating… Oh well! Sexy times!
And as Dorothy stares up at the ceiling wondering where to look, I can help but remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is staring up praying to god and Marge walks in saying “Homer that’s not God. That’s a waffle that Bart threw up there.”
Mmmm, Sacralicious.
I must say this: I LOVE Billie’s interviewing technique. 😀
You’re right. All reporter/interviewer should do this.
The good-looking ones YES, someone like Rush Limbaug, NOOOOOOO!
Speak into the “microphone,” please.
As much as I like the Lois and Clark dynamic, I’d prefer they keep that sort of thing outside of their professional relationship, thank you.
Now if it’s a healthy part of their private fantasies, great!
I was wondering how Willis would follow-up Friday’s comic…did not see this coming.
That’s because he’s cut away before the critical moment.
Bow-chicka-bow-wow!
Better than sleeping on the floor I guess.

Danny is going to get a faceful of whaawhaa and he still asking? just prepare your engine mmm’kay Danny.
Well, this was a good way to dispel the post-Superbowl-loss blues. It helps that Billie is, in my opinion, the hottest character and for her to get laid first makes sense.
I’ll echo the despair from other posters that college isn’t really like this
Somewhere Joe and Roz are crying.
Somwhere else Sal… is indifferent.
“But Mudville hearts are happy now–“
Does the cut to random happy singing away from the hanky panky remind anyone else of girly?
It does now.
It did not, but perhaps it should have.
Ha ha, tumblr troll is successful.
Socially Awkward Awesome Peng- I mean Danny: Bad flirting attempt, still gets hanky panky
mmm… shirtless Danny…
FANSERVICE!!!
Score, Danny, score!
And to answer Dorothy’s question: Sal’s bosom. ;D
It’s funny because Billie’s really easy.
On the eyes or on the bed?
The way paris hilton is.
But on the eyes too.
Or like a Sunday morning?
Sunday mornings are lazy, not easy.
Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon.
Call Parnell just to see how he’s doin’.
According to Lionel Ritchie, however, Sunday morning is, indeed, easy.
Broken link is, sadly, broken. :'(
Well, your blender will be able to play it for you soon enough.
As a parody of all the sites that tried to tell me which browser I should use to view the site, I put this on my old website:
“Best viewed on a computer. You can try viewing it on your stereo, but
don’t come crying to me if it’s blurry or whatever.”
And Spongebob. Didn’t help that he just ate a foul Sundae.
WIN!!!
I’d say “and so is Danny” here, but I guess it’s different since he was actually trying to accomplish this…
And I was wrong. Well done sir!
I would just like to take the opportunity to point out that I totally called Danny being the bottom two strips ago.
I would just like to point out that a blind incontinent dog could have called that.
I guess I was raised different – that noisy rambunctious church service looks appalling by all religious standards I’m familiar with. Even accounting for her religious proclivities, I find it almost incomprehensible that Joyce, or anyone seriously religious, could be enjoying it.
Somewhat shockingly, this reaction is more powerful than my personal atheistic reaction – though have no doubt, that part of me finds noisy church services repellent as well. Taken those two reactions together, that last panel is almost painful to look at. Yikes.
A few years ago when I’ve had my confirmation (now I’m agnostic), we had a choir singing “Groß ist unser Gott” accompanied by a keyboarder, a guitarist and me on the drums.
Our version was more “tame” than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa3Nmeh-2Is
And one says Roman Catholics don’t know how to have fun.
I can’t imagine how you can be “tamer” than this. Maybe if you’re comatose.
Easy – we didn’t use an electric guitar.
Also I don’t think someone was doubting Catholic priests’ ability
to have fun ifuknowwhatimean. Heyoooo.
I’m sure pedobear knowswhatyoumean.
Atheistic objections aside a lot of Protestant churches with younger audiences, especially all younger like at a youth camp or college campus, have concert esque music sections. The idea is that it’s great to be upbeat passionate and, well, have fun worshiping God. “Make a joyful noise” and all that.
I can’t believe such a thing as a college campus church exists.
Ever hear of Jesuit Univsities? (For a start)
Well I can’t actually imagine higher education and obsessive religion going together in general.
Well…
1) Attending church does not necissarily = “obsessive religion.”
2) Attending a modern college does not necissarily = getting, or even being interested in “higher education.” And
3) Being educated and intellectual does not necissarily = being non-spiritual or irreligious.
In my mind going to church every week in a certain
day and hour, listening to some guy lecture you about lifestyle and singing songs about Jesus and whatnot is crazy religious.
I’m curious how you define “normally religious”, and where you find these people.
Yeah. Going to church is kind of the bare minimum standard most people use to determine whether someone is religious. (Although, not going to comment on whether or not that’s a good way to judge how religious someone actually is.)
I, for one, go to the agnostic church, otherwise known as “The Church of Fluffy Pillows and a Comfortable Matress.)
If that’s your mind, you may need to step out of it more regularly. 😉
not sure how long its been since you have been in a service (if ever)
But not all services are like that
I have never been in a service as far as I know(if getting baptized doesn’t count). I think Eastern Christianity only has them on holidays. Also I’m not religious(like most people around). But in Eastern Christianity going to church is usually limited to: go in, light a candle, look at icons, leave. It’s very well separated from politics and everyday life in general which I think is pretty good. Going to church is still not unpleasant though because they are usually very old and beautiful buildings. And btw my country is absolute shit(which has absolutely nothing to do with religion). That’s why it seems weird that the most powerful and scary country in the world can’t(or doesn’t want to) keep it’s shizzle separated. “Normally religious” in the western world to me may be way closer to Billy than to Joyce as Billie acknowledges she believes in something, but it doesn’t matter enough to her to try to save face in front of it every Sunday. She is still kinda odd because she thinks it’s weird than someone might not be religious at all.
Also if you are creationist as in “4000 years ago Adam and Eve and so on” you ARE crazy religious. Deal with it.
agreed, My little brother works at a campus based church (ball state
Rambunctious? They’re just singing a hymn.
In the lands from whence I come, hymns are sung sitting down. Also none of this clapping business; if any part of you is moving except your mouth, you’re doing it wrong. (Though certain exceptions are made if your little kids are trying to make a run for it.)
Basically the group tries to imitate an old-fashioned choir.
Really? In the Lutheran and Baptist churches I attended as a child, all the singing was done standing (like an old-fashioned choir).
Sitting? Anybody knows you can’t breathe appropriately for singing unless you’re standing.
Speaking as a former catholic, bollocks the somber services. Bring on the noise!
Wow, Doctor_Who’s guess about Danny thinking Billie is a “I’m sorry” hooker from Dorothy seems to be more and more likely.
Also, that is the most fantastic scene cut ever.
oh geez..all those memories of summer camp songs flooding back. Anyone remember “I am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N” ? or whatever that song was called.
Yessssss!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaand now it’s in my head.
This makes me want to make Billie’s chest my avatar
Why haven’t you yet?
Worst. Pick-up line. Ever.
Go for it!
Hmm, well that’s certainly a happier scene than the one in a similar Babylon 5 episode 🙂
It is? I found, “And the Rock Cried Out, ‘No Hiding Place'” to be wonderfully cathartic.
I dunno. The Narns seemed pretty happy.
“The face should remain intact, for identification purposes. . .”
Mmm, I’d have to put sex, however casual, ahead of murder, however deserved.
Oh Willis you tricky bastard.
So I’ve never heard that song, but in my mind it went to this tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RSh_mhN3Ts
Mary looks terrified. I can’t figure out why.
Maybe she’s used to the type of church which focuses on reverent silence and quietly listening to sedate speakers.
Or maybe she’s just in the middle of taking a breath or something. Who knows?
How does Danny know he’s not gonna end up a dad or, like, dickless?
He’s already departed from the possible and thus is in a fantasy world. You don’t worry about such things while dreaming.
Danny has gone attained the possimpible!
And here I thought crazy insecure complements would drive girls away. Oh well.
It’s moments like this where I am appreciate that you update daily.
Me too! I’m looking forward to a week of wacky church hijinks!
Sexually aggressive women are awesome.
Also, panel 3, limited print, seriously.
WHAT.
Jeez, Billie. Too quick.
Is she trying to “fix” Danny so he won’t be shy around cheerleaders anymore? Does she need this to regain her self-confidence? Makes me think of the bit between Di and Baxter on “Fans!”
Well, for the past week, no one has cared that she used to be a cheerleader. Plus, it’s been at least… DAYS since she got some.
She’s an ex-cheerleader; she has NEEDS.
Like getting on top of a horizontal guy.
Well, Billie certainly knows how to get on top of business.
I think she just wants a good pipe cleaning, pal.
So, where did Joyce get her mystic healing powers from, for her wound to have gone already?
The faith healing must have been earlier in the church service.
I am not familiar with that hymn, so I keep hearing Leonard Cohen singing “Hallelujah” instead.
That’s what Danny is hearing in Panel 3.
Heh. Animal, may your days be filled with the sound of joyful women.
And if Joy isn’t your middle name, I recommend you change it accordingly. 😉
Well, for the past 20+ years I’ve been pretty much devoted to making Mrs. Animal joyful, but that’s going pretty well.
Wot the heck… simultaneous religious experiences!
Having clicked that link in anticipation of half-asian girl hotness… I find myself epically trolled. Well-played, Mr. Willis. XD
Hmm… I never thought I would turn into a shipper, but I still hope for Danny/Sal…
Hope no one pulls a robin and replaced Billies birth control pills with mints or was it tic tacs or Danny remembers to wear a condom otherwise the results will closley resemble another event in the walkyverse though in this situation involves two freshman college students who for the most part unemployed. I only bring this up beacuse this is happening very quicIiikly and, hormone crazed teenagers sometimes forget to think.
Also this was written on my touch screen phone please excuse the spelling and grammarits hard as hell to write more then 2 senteces on this thing.
WELL THAT WAS FAST.
Also sex while church is happening. This must be a sign. Sex is now a Religion.
It always was.
Always.
When you do it right, absolutely!
Oh G-d, “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High.” I know that song by heart.
Wait… have we even seen Joe leave the room? He could still be asleep in there.
Oh god, Joe’s going to watch.
Heck, he might even still have the video camera! ^_^
Your Gravatar is immensely distracting.
Hahaha! Oh, I see! I missed Friday’s strip. Hee! I THOUGHT that was pretty swift to go from “Hi I’m here to interview you” to “Get naked. Now.” XD
–Oh no wait it still is, isn’t it? Oh, Billie. XD
Also, I just typed that as “Billy” and realized there’s all sorts of room for hilarious misunderstandings when Danny says he had sex with “Billy” and someone who doesn’t know Billie gets the wrong idea. “OMG, Danny! College is for trying new things but GAY SEX?! *Gasp*” XD
That type of misunderstanding could happen, but as names like Terry/Sam/Alex/Billie are known to be also girl’s names, it’s pretty unlikely.
If Billie’s name was Willie instead, then the hilarious misunderstandings might have very well happen.
Oh, and Dorothy? Look for the invisible man, there in the ceiling. He’s what you’re supposed to be singing at.
He’s only invisible when no-one is looking at him.
I see Billie gaining a Tummy Toad in the near future.
Sounds like “Married… with children” for me – except Danny isn’t a jock and doesn’t seem to own a car – and he would be more friendly to his kids than Al…
Well, not so similar then.
Nailing a hot half asian Cheerleader…Danny is doing the Lords work.
Okay, so am I the only one who actually doubts this is actually gonna happen?
I mean, this is just begging for a Joe Interruption… A Joeturrption, if you will.
With his penis.
Am I doing this right?
Totally! hahahahahaha!!!!!
Coitus Joeterruptus?
Could someone explain the eye-contact thing?
If Dorothy wasn’t forgiven before, she sure as hell is now.
I’ve actually looked up that hymn on youtube so I can read this strip with the appropriate soundtrack ^^
I wonder if those two are going to have sex!
one wonders if what joyce said way back in holes will come true
I like the song about to be sung in the panel before. In fact time to rap my bf.
> I know some of you are going to ask for part of this strip in a larger size, so here it is on Tumblr.
Nobody did react to the tumblr note, really? Am I the only one thinking: “Well … I was hoping for a different panel to be enlarged…”?
😉
Billie’s line in that first panel is her worldview in a nutshell.
I knew there was a reason I read this.
GOD DAMN IT THAT SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
I remember singing it in church when I was Catholic.
I was a Catholic too, and that song brings back annoying memories for me. I hated the damn rock songs that just repeated over an over at every ‘youth worship.’ I preferred the traditional hymns in Mass.
Hey i’m curious is the song a “representation” of them doing it? Shes on top. So ( Cross to Grave ) [cross] high place {up} [grave] low place {down}. (Grave to sky) [grave] low place {down} [sky] high place up {up}. Then ( lift your name on high ) lift {obviously } High {up}
I know its been like two years since this has been post so you probably wont reply but i’m just curious I’m a reading the “subtext” properly or am i just a perv reading to deeply.
Pun not intended
While maybe
Kindof a little jealous her
Oh geez, I thought you were going to do the last panel!
