I’d wager it’s because she’s being left alone. I mean…who does Joyce really have? Billie’s got Ruth and Walky, Sarah is unpresent for right now, Dina seems to just blend in the background, Sal’s off with Jason “studying” and Walky’s being molded into proper boyfriend material.
this is hilarious. even better, my bro lives with a friend who is gay. They both have a lot of shoes, one banged a lot of chicks the other banged a lot of dudes, both fashioneastas.
Joyce is. . . Joyce needs to talk to someone. She’s definitely not in a good place right now:
Her best friend is going out with someone she hates.
She was raised in a protective environment, and then, within a few weeks of entering college, and is almost raped by her protective but anti social roommate, who is dealing with problems of her own.
And she’s dating a guy who is gay, and while he hasn’t SAID they were in a relationship, has led her to believe it (through no malice, however).
. . . She needs a chat with Mike. Mike seems to be using his jerkness for good in this universe.
“and is almost raped by her protective but anti social roommate”
I’m going to assume you meant ‘was almost raped but was saved by her protective…’ because otherwise you just said Sarah almost raped Joyce which is a very different recollection of events than I have.
It just struck me. Last episode, Joe said that he owns six or seven shoes. This one, whatshername said that he’s had sex with at least one per pair.
Logically, assuming it’s not a lot more due to the word ‘least’, then this means that Joe actually fails a lot at the whole doing the nasty with a number of people. Or prefers quality over quantity.
So Dorothy’s plan this whole time was to get Walky new clothes! Skank! She purposefully got his shoes lost so that she could get him to buy new clothing.
Dorothy is perpetuating the fallacy that manliness and banging a lot of people are connected. You can be manly while still choosing not to sleep around (or wanting to and failing). Or, like me, you can sleep with twice as many people as Joe and still be not-especially-manly.
On the on hand, Walky really does seem like a man-child that would be more at home in kindergarden than university. On the other hand, I agree with what Scott Adams wrote in the Dilbert Principle, which was more or less that engineer/nerd type people don’t really care what their clothes look like as long as the minimum requirement of no naughty bits hanging out is met. As long as Walky has enough sense to dress up a little at, say, weddings, funerals, and job interviews, he’s got every right to dress casually around campus.
Love that smirk in Panel 2. And Joyce looks so sad, I actually feel sorry for her now. Or perhaps she is exerting too much pressure when “calming her tits” and it hurts?
She wishes she was raised Mormon so she could get in on that too.
Mormons must get way more threeway action then.
sadly not in this day and age…
So much for my idea of a new Mormon ad campaign then.
They already have the perfect ad campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD7vKmglHMc
Great ad, but not good enough for me to want to convert though.
Walky? More like Sulky.
At least he doesn’t skips or else we should call him Skippy or Skips or something.
Sulky McSulkypants?
….. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him… …and pat him and pet him and… …and rub him and caress him and…
[Oh god those BBunny scripts were racy]
Sulky? More like… ermm… GARY!
No! Bad joke! Penalty corner for five minutes!
Don’t make me sulky! You won’t like me when I’m sulky!
Is there a past-tense for shipping? I don’t think shipped works well. Departed?
How about the term Decommissioned, that works.
Dry docked? Sound painful though….
I believe discarded ships are usually referred to as being ‘sunk’.
Sighted ship. Sunk same.
Sunk suggests that the ship will never sail again, decomissioned ones on the other hand have the possibility of sailing once again.
Shipping events that happened before the first strip. I anticipate … for the past.
That ship has sailed!
Why so sad Joyce?
She wants nicer shirts too…
Ideally without the Butt-tacos.
But Butt-Tacos make everything better!
Tossing a Butt-Taco Salad?
Deep down she wants in on a threesome.
Damn you Joe for corrupting the innocent ones!
Ryan ruined a lot of things for her.
Mike ruined your mom for a nickel.
“Well, that party guy ruined guys for me. Well, guess I can becaome a lesbian sinner.” XD
Why am I always drinking when someone says something like that?
Because the universe has a sick sense of humour
Because you have a drinking problem?
Everyone’s innocent until proved guilty.
Her tits are no longer raging.
However, the is a tantrum brewing within those bosoms the likes of which this college has never seen!!!
Yes! Let them burst forth! Inspiring other female bosoms to do likewise! Let there be a Boob Revolution!
When her mood deflates, so does her cup-size.
Her pet goldfish just died. What do you think?
Does Joe own any of Dorothy’s shoes I wonder…
Nah there’s no way right.
September 17, 2010.
Apropos of nothing, but if Dina doesn’t have a set of these cookie cutters, she should.
http://www.suck.uk.com/products/3d-dinosaur-cookie-cutters/
apropos of that comment, if everybody ever don’t have a set of thos cookie cutters, they should.
Why don’t I have dinosaur everything. Granted, my room is painted like a dinosaur, so I guess there’s that.
You should paint your room like the inside of a dinosaur, that would be mega awesome. Or gross, could go either way.
I for one would be happy to sample Dina’s cookies. 😀
So to speak.
Don’t speak with your mouth full.
Oh Joyce… you shouldn’t have helped them get back together then if this was gonna bother you.
Perhaps you thought Dorothy would eventually dump Walky right after?
Yeah, that was kind of the whole point of it. “He can’t dump you! Now get back together so you can dump him!”
Now I feel bad for Joyce
I understand what Joyce’s been through safe for the dating a gay dude thing.
To be fair, she still doesn’t know he’s gay.
For once I agreed with Walky: WHAT?
I don’t think those tits will be calm any time soon.
Their power will only continue to grow until they finally achieve maximum exceitedness.
You’re theorizing that her rack is about to reach a quantum state? Schrodinger’s sweater puppies?
Ok, I admit it, I’m completely ignorant on the subject of human emotions so I have got to ask why does Joyce look sad?
I’d wager it’s because she’s being left alone. I mean…who does Joyce really have? Billie’s got Ruth and Walky, Sarah is unpresent for right now, Dina seems to just blend in the background, Sal’s off with Jason “studying” and Walky’s being molded into proper boyfriend material.
So Joyce just has Joyce.
Least that’s my two cents.
Soon after this moment, Joyce discovers shoujo anime and she was never quite the same again.
Yea, that can traumitize almost anyone.
She’s sad cause Ethan has a bunch of shoes, therefore has banged a bunch of chicks.
hahaha
ahahah
silliw m divad?
Does the fact that your laughing at this mean its the correct interpretation?
Joyce’s Internal Monologue: “I have all these shoes and nothing to show for it… *sigh* When you wish upon a starrrrr….”
this is hilarious. even better, my bro lives with a friend who is gay. They both have a lot of shoes, one banged a lot of chicks the other banged a lot of dudes, both fashioneastas.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.
You can lead a Walky to store, but can you make him dress?
No shirt, no shoes, no ARGH PUT SOME CLOTHES ON
I think Dorothy is lowballing Joe’s figures here.
I’d be offended if I were you Joe
Whereas previously she was lowballing Joe’s roommate.
Joyce is. . . Joyce needs to talk to someone. She’s definitely not in a good place right now:
Her best friend is going out with someone she hates.
She was raised in a protective environment, and then, within a few weeks of entering college, and is almost raped by her protective but anti social roommate, who is dealing with problems of her own.

we need hystroical Jesus or Reagan.
This sounds like a job for… MORMON JESUS!
Manliness? This calls for a song!!!!
*ahem*
Let’s get down to business!!!
To defeat the Huns!
Did they send me daughters!
When I asked for sons!
When I asked…for sons!
You’re the saddest bunch I’ve ever met!
Gohan, I make a man out of you!….
ohhh we are not doing the TFS version?…my bad.
NERD!!!
But you can bet before we’re through
Mister, I’ll make a man out of you!
TRANQUIL AS A FOREST!
But on fire within.
Once you find your center
You are sure to win!
You’re a spineless, pale pathetic lot
And you haven’t got a clue
Somehow I’ll…
Make a man…
OUT OF YOUUUUUU!!!!
my daughter was just watching that as i put her to sleep, thanks people, now it’s stuck in my head again.
I’m never gonna catch my breath,
Say goodbye to those who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym
this guy’s got us scared to death!
Hope he doesn’t see right through me
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!
BEOWULF
Nope, turns out even Joyce’s sad face isn’t enough to make me sorry for her!
awwww Joyce needs a hug. I hug Joyce.
Seriously, Walky, you walked right into that one. “What does MIKE know about BEING A DICK?”
It just struck me. Last episode, Joe said that he owns six or seven shoes. This one, whatshername said that he’s had sex with at least one per pair.
Logically, assuming it’s not a lot more due to the word ‘least’, then this means that Joe actually fails a lot at the whole doing the nasty with a number of people. Or prefers quality over quantity.
I think assuming it’s a lot more because of the word “least” is exactly what we’re supposed to do.
It actually looks like Walky’s managed to outswowl his sister in panels 1 and 2! Next thing you know, he’ll be smoking and crawling out of windows….
Jumping through windows*
There’s something wrong with Dorothy’s face in panel 2.
There, fixed it.
No. Just, no.
No love for trollface? Maybe I should’ve done Me gusta. 😛
I like this strip because Walky is unhappy.
So more shoes = more women.
No wonder she’s pushing him to get a second pair. 😛
I’m sure Joyce would lend them some. 😛
So Dorothy’s plan this whole time was to get Walky new clothes! Skank! She purposefully got his shoes lost so that she could get him to buy new clothing.
Dorothy is perpetuating the fallacy that manliness and banging a lot of people are connected. You can be manly while still choosing not to sleep around (or wanting to and failing). Or, like me, you can sleep with twice as many people as Joe and still be not-especially-manly.
Poor Joyce, looks like she needs a hug.
Nice parallel, because over in the past of another universe, Joe is currently bongoing about manly shampoo. Obviously, that universe is pre-Axe.
PUPPIES!

Joyce is sad that Dorothy is happy. Specifically, happy with somebody else. She doesn’t get much sympathy from me.
Hey, other people being happy when you’re not is a good reason to be unhappy.
It looks like Joyce has a sad. 🙁
This gives me a sad. 🙁
Have a sad with us. Pity party! :O
pity party leads to Pity orgy.
how would THAT get organized?
“Join our pity orgy! You’ll be sad you came!”
“You’ll cry . . . from your genitals!”
DAMMIT WALKY YOU ARE LEARNING LESSONS BUT YOU ARE LEARNING THEM WRONG
I now am picturing Joe’s closets, and him having more shoes than Imelda Marcos had.
And now, I facepalm for missing yesterday’s comic.
