I don’t know he’s the one that’s embarrassed, that we can see not ruling out Joyce being just as much the case. This whole thing feels very different for Joe I think.
Oh, Joyce is definitely the top in this relationship. I am just trying to work out if she can say then do stuff like this and genuinely not realise what she is doing to him…
How could it affect him? He’s the experienced worldly one. He’s used to all this sex stuff. She’s the one who’s struggling with temptation and her fundie upbringing.
A college cafeteria? I sure don’t. I spent too many nights just staring into the inky darkness beyond mine’s single vast glass wall, haunted by the stress and yawning blackness the awaited a meal’s end, accompanied only by the piles of bird corpses the piled up beneath the cold panes.
It had amazing all you could eat desert and yogurt, though, and the garlic bread was to die for.
Time for joe to put those muscles to use and give her a piggy back ride 8D; not sure how enjoyable a chest would be on someone’s back but i’m sure they could both appreciate it XD
Sarah’s prophecy inches closer to fruition. Though, because Joyce seems to be instinctively monogamous, it’s not going to be a whole team, just wearing Joe down to dust.
SO much fun watching Joe fish around in his brain for a way to say something delicately, and having so little experience that he has to invent one.
I must say, shy nervous Joe is more interesting to me than horndog Joe. Possibly because I was that guy, and it’s nice to savor the growing intimacy, even vicariously, without having to feel all that desperate uncertainty.
I too am here for nervous Joe. I’m not offended by raunchy humor and I am all for clearly communicating in matters of sex, but there is a charm to someone trying to hard to figure out an appropriate way to say something. I have a Joe-like figure in my own life and while I don’t mind it when he’s straight-out lewd, I find the moments when he’s careful and sweet to be really endearing.
The previous strip is actually pretty innocent, definitely accidental brushing of any erogenous zones. Then Joyce puts her fantasy in Joe’s head by rubbing her butt over Joe’s head. They’re gonna get weeeeeird.
Its going to be really cute when the finally do it. Like Joe has had sex before, but I don’t think he’s had a real relationship. The emotional intimacy changes everything.
You say, “obnoxious”, I say “hilarious”! Let ’em cook, @superglucose! I want to see them awkwardly try and fail to not be simultaneously be respectful of and not be horny for each other for at LEAST a couple more weeks of in-universe time! Their schemes and rationalizations will grow so convoluted as to utterly defy comprehension by the average human mind, it’ll be great.
I’m having similar thoughts. I agree that they’re right to take things slow because neither one of them is experienced in having a romantic relationship, but like…the formality and hangups around everything can get exhausting. Yes, not every touch is sexual, but some are and that is okay. Having to, like, vet every stage/aspect of relationships through the friend group (instead of God, in Joyce’s case) is tiring. You can make your own choices, it’s okay if your friends don’t approve, and not everything has to be meticulously examined and signed off on in triplicate. I get that that’s kind how things are in Gen-Z dating culture and I don’t actually hate it, I think learning the importance of consent and communication is stellar, but also sometimes you can just bone. It’s okay. Buuuut who am I to really be upset at how any given couple/person/generation sublimates their anxiety about Fucking It Up through the use of arbitrary rules. So I agree they should just do it already but I get why we’re not there right now too.
This hits too close to the weird christian rules of How To Sex Without Doing The Sin. Shit like “it’s not sin if it’s anal“ or “it’s not sin if you penetrate, but don’t move“ (soaking! THERE IS EVEN A TERM FOR THIS), or “it’s not sin if i didn’t initiate it and only happen to enjoy it accidentally“, or “it’s not sex if we’re not naked“……. somehow i keep thinking JUST FUCK ALREADY AND GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM.
Like, even as a christian, if the teaching is “sex is too distracting, you should focus on god“, they seriously underestimate how fucking distracting it is to spend all this energy on restraint, or on tiptoeing around how to totally get off without sinning……. this is not helpful at all!
Jennifer once told Lucy to throw herself crotch first at Walky. Kiiinda looks like Joyce may have done something similar at Joe’s face and he either ducked it or the last panel is just after that.
switching with Joe is the new doing the laundry
the best euphemism!
Good thing I read this between my sips of coffee.
Dina may be busy ’till Tuesday, but it appears JoJo have time to get arrested. ?
???
they’re only breasts if they come from the breasticular region of France, otherwise they’re just boobs
I think you mean either Brest or the Seine region.
Ooh la la!
(Or should I say:
“Où?”
“Là! Là!”)
Ooh, nice wordplay.
Appellation Contrôlée.
You man the île de Sein.
Boobticular doesn’t really flow the same.
How about breasticles? XD
Chesticles?
(stolen from Andy Zaltzman)
Breast tickles is what you get when someone accidentally brushes against them
Boobtacular!
*sparkling boobs
The sequel to DBZ Sparking Blast.
Get a room!!
“They’re in a room!”
“Then lose some weight!”
Welp there goes the rest of the food. Ah, but they’re cute.
Didn’t we already confirm that Joyce has a donk in an earlier comic?
She does have a Dork. His name is Joe.
No, donk. As in badonkadonk. And yes, Joyce do.
oh whoops.
Yeah. Dat ass fat.
Also she has Jugs. Again, confirmed in the comic.
Those are just her regular tan Uggs, not her shower boots.
She has them. Just not right this second.
Ya know, I thought that was Joyce on the cover of Uggs n’ Juggs Quarterly…
Romantic clipping. Thanks Todd!
Buncha dorks. Dorks in love (lust) 🙁
this is adorable
and I acknowledge that it is adorable
but also I am increasingly certain that joe is going to flame out.
I don’t know he’s the one that’s embarrassed, that we can see not ruling out Joyce being just as much the case. This whole thing feels very different for Joe I think.
There’s gonna be a lot of crusty stocks in Joe and Danny’s room, huh.
Oh is Joe getting into the stock market? Good for him.
No, the old time punishment stocks, for kinky stuff.
As we can see in the last panel, Joyce is on top.
Oh, Joyce is definitely the top in this relationship. I am just trying to work out if she can say then do stuff like this and genuinely not realise what she is doing to him…
I’d argue that Joyce is a power bottom. Seemingly subservient but totally controls what happens/doesn’t.
How could it affect him? He’s the experienced worldly one. He’s used to all this sex stuff. She’s the one who’s struggling with temptation and her fundie upbringing.
He’s not used to being infatuated with someone like he is Joyce. Context changes everything.
Of course, but from her point of view …
Bruh
they’re about 30 seconds from 9CL-ing that booth.
Does Joyce even *have* thigh gap?
Joyce is choking! Quick Joe, perform the Heimlich maneuver!
…your hymen’s been removed??
This is going to become a euphemism for them, isn’t it?
Switching?
… I hope so. I don’t thing Joyce is ready for the BDSM version.
next step s to switch over each other, starting from the tops of adjacent dryers
Nah, it’s the former fundies who are the really kinky ones.
Can confirm. ;-P Not as Fundy as Joyce, but still was pretty into it.
Golly I sure do have a Wistful desire for myself to be in the place that Joe is right this moment.
A college cafeteria? I sure don’t. I spent too many nights just staring into the inky darkness beyond mine’s single vast glass wall, haunted by the stress and yawning blackness the awaited a meal’s end, accompanied only by the piles of bird corpses the piled up beneath the cold panes.
It had amazing all you could eat desert and yogurt, though, and the garlic bread was to die for.
There are things I miss about college. The cafeteria is not one of them. It’s not that I have complaints or anything; I just don’t miss it. At all.
Does Joyce got the booty? She do!
Joyce is quite shapely, I concur. One might even call her comely.
Comely, shapely, and downright curvetastic. A little thiccie. It would not be unfair to call her borderline PAWGy.
PSL: The Next Generation
Joyyyce get a room
… this is going to be another example of rule 34, isn’t it?
*very pointedly does not Google*
I mean doa does fulfill rule 34. This is just the rare case where the artist did it themselves
Ahhh the scapula, the surely the sexiest part of your ripped goliath of a boyfriend – good choice Joyce, good choice.
Also the teaser for the new monthly strip is soul crushingly dark.
… like a mountain.
Is “Moving In Stereo” playing in the background???
Lets go play twister
*Plays “Come on, let’s twist again,” on the hacked boombox…*
Time for joe to put those muscles to use and give her a piggy back ride 8D; not sure how enjoyable a chest would be on someone’s back but i’m sure they could both appreciate it XD
Joe trying to not ruin Joyce who is achingly touch starved is funnier than I thought it would be.
Time for massages, doesn’t count when ur just relaxing tense muscles 8D;
No, not the croissant!
Just make out already!
Oh, no, not the awkward lunchtime brush-up accidents! That’s a gateway to a game of Twister! The topological risks!
Are they… are they frotting? <.<
Joyce will never be able to take this sensation, of mounting in someone like that, off her head. Joe’s so screwed, too
Oh no a butts disease flare-up :c
His chosen term… breastickles my fancy.
There’s not enough information to garner from this, but window seats are the worst for the indecisive.
so happy we’re finally here! go Joyce and overcoming repression ?
Sarah’s prophecy inches closer to fruition. Though, because Joyce seems to be instinctively monogamous, it’s not going to be a whole team, just wearing Joe down to dust.
“Someone get me a granola bar and orange IV! This man is withering!
Funnily enough Sarah will HATE it, she’d prefer if it was a whole team so long as it wasn’t Joe XD
Good.
That Sarah hates it, I mean.
SO much fun watching Joe fish around in his brain for a way to say something delicately, and having so little experience that he has to invent one.
I must say, shy nervous Joe is more interesting to me than horndog Joe. Possibly because I was that guy, and it’s nice to savor the growing intimacy, even vicariously, without having to feel all that desperate uncertainty.

Pervert here.
Breasticulars are the female equivalent of Equesticles, right?
“Moving through each other” is now my new favorite euphemism for sex.
The previous strip is actually pretty innocent, definitely accidental brushing of any erogenous zones. Then Joyce puts her fantasy in Joe’s head by rubbing her butt over Joe’s head. They’re gonna get weeeeeird.
Idiots (affectionately)
Breast torsion?
Breasticular torsion!
Its going to be really cute when the finally do it. Like Joe has had sex before, but I don’t think he’s had a real relationship. The emotional intimacy changes everything.
ok this has passed cute and entered obnoxious.
Go fuck, you two.
You say, “obnoxious”, I say “hilarious”! Let ’em cook, @superglucose! I want to see them awkwardly try and fail to not be simultaneously be respectful of and not be horny for each other for at LEAST a couple more weeks of in-universe time! Their schemes and rationalizations will grow so convoluted as to utterly defy comprehension by the average human mind, it’ll be great.
Dumbing of Age is slowly but surely evolving into an Ecchi manga.
I’m eagerly waiting for Joyce to trip and land boobs first on Dotty’s face.
I’m having similar thoughts.

… Willis you just wanted to draw Joyce’s tush didn’t you
Don’t lie >:]c
Now I can’t tell if Joyce is being innocent and naive of if she is teasing poor Joe. I also can’t decide which scenario is funnier to me.
I don’t think she can tell either, honestly.
I hope it’s the latter cuz it’s
hotterThis is so sweet. But also, this is so wrong. But also, this continues to be so sweet.
oh my god i just realized these two are the horniest characters in this whole comic. this will definitely end well
Completely innocent. Also, entirely unrelated…. butt!
I promise it’s okay you guys. You can fuck and the world wont end.
That depends. Don’t fuck in a nuclear plant and then break things. 😛
that would be a pretty funny ending to a slipshine liek “breaking news” : Indiana seceded from the US or some bs like htat XD
Great. Oh just great.
They got the Butts disorder, now.
This hits too close to the weird christian rules of How To Sex Without Doing The Sin. Shit like “it’s not sin if it’s anal“ or “it’s not sin if you penetrate, but don’t move“ (soaking!

Okay, last one.
Jennifer once told Lucy to throw herself crotch first at Walky. Kiiinda looks like Joyce may have done something similar at Joe’s face and he either ducked it or the last panel is just after that.
I’ll praise Willis for making Joyce more and more hot in each storyline.
I used to not find her all that appealing but hot damn if you’re not right. I kinda wanna draw some saucey pics of her but also that just feels…wrong.
How long til she reaches ‘maximum hotness’ like robin tho?

They’re called bubbies, Joe. It’s Shakespearean (in Love).
perverts :3
Joyce truly is an avid mountaineer
Climb those peaks, girl!
lol anyone 5 feet away from them must be having an interesting view hha
Where’s Butts when you need them? This would make a great new avatar for them.
