Last night
Posted on April 12, 2012 by David M Willis
Everyone's actually just super-interested in Walky's awesome Butt-Taco shirt, which you can also own.

  1. Sensedog

    So how do those words taste, Joyce?

    1. mechaqua

      Like left over butt-tacos.

      1. Joe H

        More specifically, last nights butt-tacos.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        She needs to wash it out with the hair of the dog.

      3. Mkvenner

        Please rethink that statement carefully.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Are you talking to me or Sensedog?

        2. Mkvenner

          Sensedog.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Just checkin’ ^_^

        4. Sensedog

          I was referring to Joyce’s statement in the second panel, where she claims that Walky and Dorothy are not happening. It also wasn’t the first time that she indicated that it would not happen after the fact (of course, she did not know about “last night” when she made those statements). Hence, she is having to “eat her words” in a way.

  2. Yotomoe

    N-not that I would know

  3. Hello, Mr. Anderson

    This comic makes me happy!

    1. wererat

      a much needed refreshment after the most discomforting happenings in the sibling comic of “shortpacked”

      1. Blob Marley

        > sibling

        Interesting choice of words… :3

    2. darcos0

      Seriously, it’s college. how often do guys wear the same shirt back to back days. Hell i have 2 different pairs of shirts that are the exact same shirt.

      1. LaurelRaven

        Problem is, this shirt has the same stain as last night, too…I think it’s safe to say, it is the same shirt 😉

      2. Blob Marley

        I made the same comment. Then I realized that the key words there were “Last Night.” The implications of that statement are somewhat giggity.

  4. Mkvenner

    Can’t.Stop.Luaghing.

    Ow my gut hurts.

  5. Vivvav

    I can’t wait for Billie to find out. It’s gonna be like what Christmas morning must feel like.

    1. Yotomoe

      and your older brother got the gift you wanted first.

      1. Kernanator

        Christmas for Vivvav. Not Billie.

    2. Kalan

      Billie is too full of cheerleader burnsauce right now to unwrap this present.

  6. Jen Aside

    CROWD

    1. Twirls

      MAGICALLY APPEARING CROWD.
      the best kind.

  7. David Herbert

    Implied fornication? We must know more.

    1. iSaidCandleja-

      Implied premarital hanky panky to be specific.

      1. Foxhack

        Not necessarily, it might mean they went out to dinner, what with the sauce stain.

        1. Side_salad

          That stain isn’t even an hour old.
          http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/03-the-first-step-towards-recovery/tag/
          See? No stain.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          He must have had his breakfast McNuggets then.

        3. LaurelRaven

          Huh…I swore that shirt had a stain on it the day before…

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Same stain, different (yet identical) shirt.

        5. Roborat

          I can see that, I went through university with about 4 identical baseball shirts I bought from my engineering club. They were cheap and comfortable, and I could replace them easily as they wore out. I did get some comments about wearing the same shirt all the time, but not too many, as only 5 of them were female, and most of the rest were typical young males (read slobs). I did draw the line at wearing sweatpants to class however.

        6. johannhowitzer

          First time I’ve ever seen an Agatha gravatar. My compliments.

        7. LaurelRaven

          Thank you!

        8. Broggly

          Uh, yeah. Sauce.

        9. johannhowitzer

          Billie’s cheerleader burnsauce got on Walky’s butt taco shirt?

  8. Cauchemar

    Joyce’s face in the last panel is priceless.

    1. John Madden

      What he said.

      1. Cholma

        What Jason & Sierra avatars said.

        1. fellixe

          Yes, what they, and that one, and… What they all said.

          But here’s the problem with this continuity. Now Joyce’s mind is broken and there’s no mindwipe device!

        2. Makkabee

          Lovin’ the look on Joyce’s face there.

          Excuse me, her FAAAAAAAAAACE!!!

        3. Roborat

          Good catch there, we almost had to revoke your fan club membership.

    2. Jetstream

      PRE!

      MARITAL!

      HANKY!

      PANKY!

      … Except not but they won’t believe that now!

      1. deepblueink

        I’m trying to remember, would this be a good example of PSL as well?

      2. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

        Joyce going into “OMG! Pre Marital Hanky Panky!” mode has been overdue anyway.
        So here we go.

  9. ThyHoopyFrood

    Oh god, Joyce in that last panel. Awesome.

    1. NCP19

      I concur!

    2. johannhowitzer

      With your gravatar I cannot help but read your comment as irony.

  10. Plasma Mongoose

    “Tell me more, tell me more…”

    “Did she put up a fight?”

    1. Michael

      Shoo bop bop

    2. addude

      That’s a Grease reference isn’t?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Yes it is.

    3. Jetstream

      College fling, don’t mean a thing, but uh-oh those College nights!

      1. Atcote

        A-WELLA WELLA WELLA UH!
        Tell me more, tell me more,
        did she drop all her study?
        Tell me more, tell me more,
        was he your butt-taco-buddy?

        1. Blob Marley

          I wish I could hug you right now.

    4. Shade

      That second line always kind of disturbs me.

      1. Jetstream

        The fifties weren’t as pleasant as people like to pretend they were.

        It’s supposed to disturb you.

  11. Tristan J

    Yes, this is a good comic.

  12. HyperboleKitty

    in regards to the banner hanging up above the comic. a Toronto maple leaf jersey? You couldn’t pick a cooler hockey team? Like the Canadiens maybe?

    1. David

      Yes, because it’s totally possible to pick a sports team that won’t piss somebody off, thank you.

      1. Mkvenner

        I vote whalers.

        1. Splash*Boogie

          2nd Whalers. The Jets (new or old) have some pretty sick unis too..
          But if you REALLY wanna piss people off, The Buffalo Sabers Buffaslug is a sure fire flamebait

        2. mechaqua

          They went back to the classic this year. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9e/Buffalo_Sabres_Logo.svg

        3. Blob Marley

          That looks like a totally kickass pokemon.

        4. Sensedog

          Deep down, we all know that we are a drinking city with a sports problem. And we are content with that, even if we claim otherwise.

        5. mechaqua

          Amen
          Now I am going to Duffs grab pint Labbat blue, eat some wings and cry.

        6. Sensedog

          The sad thing is, our lacrosse team is actually pretty damn awesome, but nobody pays nearly as much attention to them as they do to the Bills or Sabres; this happens even though the two latter teams consistently crush the hopes of many sports fans each year.

        7. mechaqua

          Well truth be told I am a Knighthawks fan myself.

        8. PhysicsLB

          WE have a lacrosse team?!

      2. HyperboleKitty

        Nahh that wasn’t my line of reasoning at all David. Pissing people off is inevitable(i’m not) but i’m thinking more along the lines of the fact that the Leafs haven’t won a cup since 67, the poor bastards.

        1. David

          Dude, I grew up wearing Chicago Cubs hats. Usually you don’t choose your team.

        2. Splash*Boogie

          You are forever a Cubbie in my mind now.

        3. Historyman68

          My little brother bought a Chicago Bulls hat from a NYC street vendor and wore it for years because he liked the logo. No other reason.

      3. LaurelRaven

        David, if you managed to do that, you will have won the internet. There would be a ceremony held in your honor and everything…there may even be cake.

        1. Spazman

          (The Cake is a lie)

      4. Animal

        I grew up wearing a Pioneer Seed cap. Wonder who I can piss off.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      There is always the made up team option, unless you have a self-imposed rule about only using real brands.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        ^ Question was aimed at Willis.

      2. David

        Ruth has been a Toronto Maple Leafs fan since at least 2000. Relinquishing her Leafs jersey would be handing a victory to Phoebe Bradley, and Ruth would rather die.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          So only real teams/products it is. 🙂

        2. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

          Throwing the match to someone who prefers to have her name
          pronounced ‘FEEB’ would be pretty pathedic, yes.
          Frankly, I support Ruth’s reasoning, believe it or not.
          The jersey’s colors also look great on her.

    3. Fignewton of my Imagination

      How about a team that competes in a sport that people actually care about!!!

      For those of you who are wondering hockey sucks!! and good night!

      1. lordphulish

        Go Springfield Isotopes!

  13. Mkvenner

    And no joyce realizes that she is the ood one out.

    1. Sporkaganza

      Oods are good, love an Ood!

      1. Spazman

        Another Ood I failed to save…

    2. Kamino Neko

      She totally lacks tentacles and an external brain. She can’t be the ood one.

      1. Mkvenner

        You win doctor who reference!

  14. Ridureyu

    Poor, poor Dorothy, about to be ruthlessly mocked and teased into oblivion.

    1. Mkvenner

      Poor Dorothy? Joyce is the only one alone now.

      1. iSaidCandleja-

        There’s always Mike.

        1. Mkvenner

          It’s Mike.

        2. Bekah

          Well… There is precedent… if you read the other universe.

        3. lucan

          I’m a fan of the D.W.S. (David Willis Ship) JoycexMike

        4. Mike Rocks

          Every time I see Mike its HARD to look away,,….

        5. Aspect

          I’m going to point out your gravatar/name/comment combo and let the crew of the DWS MikexSal have at it.

          (I’m totally using that from now on, thanks Lucan.)

      2. Sensedog

        Actually, Billie is as well (she isn’t in this particular comic, but still). Being able to get laid at a keg party (can anyone really say that Billie is not the type?) and having an actual relationship are two different things.

  15. Henry

    Oh my God, Joyce’s face in the last panel. Priceless.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      But her face doesn’t look half as freaked out as she did when she first discovered that Dotty was an athiest.

      1. Shade

        Perhaps it hasn’t occured to her. Just because the average person’s mind would go there doesn’t mean Joyce’s did. No wait on closer examination she looks pretty horrified.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          As far as Joyce is concerned, PREMARITAL HANKY PANKY is less evil than Atheism.

        2. Shade

          Makes sense, premartial hanky panky you can pray for forgiveness.

          But if you’re athiest who will you pray to for forgiveness!? Who?

  16. Mkvenner

    Implied premarital hanky panky.

  17. mechaqua

    I feel the word awkward is overused so I am going to use… discomfited

    *ahem*
    DISCOMFITED!

    I immediately regret this decision.

    1. Jetstream

      Now don’t be a spoot-head. You can’t over-use awkward in this comic 😀

      1. mechaqua

        I gift you an internet.

        That’s the only one I had so treasure it like pine tree air freshener.

        1. PhysicsLB

          I’ll throw in a Lickety Split for good measure.

        2. Jetstream

          How very obscene.

        3. Jetstream

          I’m not kidding. I’m 90% sure that “lickety split” was a cunnilingus reference. NickToons are fucked up.

    2. KresyAntics

      discombobulated

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        You can try these words: addled, baffled, befuddled, bewildered, confounded, disconcerting, sickened…

      2. Shade

        I second this one, I love discombobulated bcause it sounds made up.

    3. Doctor_Who

      Compromising! Embarrassing! Uncomfortable!

      …Thesaurus!

  18. Sam

    AND SUDDENLY

    This is the most interesting place to be.

  19. Stephen Bierce

    *Plays Kenny Loggin’s “I’m All Right” from the CADDYSHACK soundtrack on the Muzak*

  20. addude

    There are so many thing I could say I don’t even know where to start it is awesome

  21. Doctor_Who

    Mike looks even grumpier than normal in the last panel, even though this is hardly news to him. Maybe HE wanted to out the two as a couple, and Dorothy beat him to it.

    1. Mkvenner

      That is entirely possible.

    2. KresyAntics

      exactly and Mike’s next statement would go something like… yea I had to use the jaws of life to extracate these two from PREMARTIAL HANKY PANKY in the pitch that only non-virigins could hear

      1. Yotomoe

        Joyce only understood 3 of those words.

        1. Blob Marley

          And they’re all prepositions

    3. Yotomoe

      now Mike’s gonna have to go with plan B. Calling up Dorothy and/or Walky’s mom’s with his nickel collection

  22. Jar

    I really really want to hear the part of Joyce’s and Mike’s conversation we missed.

  23. AliaPie

    Oops.

  24. Nexev

    BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSTED

  25. Jim

    I have the sudden urge to see Dorothy naked.

    1. Bekah

      Me too.

      Oh wait. No I don’t.

    2. Sensedog

      I’ve seen it.

      …What? Rule 34. It was applied a while back elsewhere on the internet.

  26. Mkvenner

    It just occured to me, but has Joyce ever heard an Aristocrats joke before?

    1. DK1105

      I don’t know. We must test this.

      1. Sensedog

        Mike could probably tell her a good one.

        1. Blob Marley

          Mike would do it live action.

    2. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

      Probably during either her striptease classes or her Karma Sutra camp days…

      Then again, this IS someone who thought Ethan being gay would mean he’d prefer Barbie dolls over action figures. Hmmmm………

  27. Plasma Mongoose

    Roz wonders if they remembered to used condoms.

    1. f.p.

      Used condoms aren’t a great idea. New ones would be preferable.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Woops, grammar fail on my part.

  28. John

    I’ve got this suspicion that Mike hasn’t actually said anything since last strip, and has just been letting Joyce ramble on defensively the whole way to class.

    1. ALostProphet

      Almost certainly.

  29. Ter

    SUDDENLY CROWD.

    (and Roz)

  30. L

    Mmmmm! Delicious crow for Joyce. Just look at her FAAAAACE

  31. Ancestral Hamster

    Bwahahahaha! (Panel 4) Inquiring minds want to know!

    Aside: I’ve really enjoyed tonight’s SP! and DoA. Funny, if in very different ways!

  32. ALostProphet

    *whumf*

    1. ALostProphet

      As for Joyce-specific sound effects, we’ve already used our weekly *glass shatters* sound effect on Billy. Any thoughts?

      1. Kernanator

        How about the sound of something short-circuiting? BZT or BXT. Draw out the X or Z as long as necessary.

        1. Lieutenant Dan

          RecordNeedleScratch?

  33. Wonder Wig

    Butt Taco has the same voice in my mind as Toungy from Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist =D

    1. Valdrax

      …Thank you so much for putting the both them together in the same sentence.

    2. madd

      So there is a butt taco … a toungy … and a fist entering …

  34. lawzlo

    Who is the mysterious green-shirted man on the right? A mere passer-by drawn into the maelstrom of DOA by Walky’s Butt Taco shirt? Or shall he pass again into the void, a limbo of tag-less characters floating in space?

    Only time will tell!

    It kinda looks like Danny, but not quite.

    1. Blob Marley

      Probably just a guy. I don’t remember Danny being in gender studies.

      Also he’s not tagged.

  35. Kernanator

    Joe is intrigued and wishes to know more.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Ideally with charts and diagrams.

  36. MR C

    smooth as sand paper dorothy, smooth as sandpaper

    1. MR C

      just realized that my avatar was perfect for my previous level of emotion

  37. Corlanthis

    Okay. So I found the teleportation of 100% more people into panel six absolutely hilarious. Hi nameless brown-haired guy-or-girl in the green shirt!

    1. Kamino Neko

      Closer to 130%. >_>

      1. Shippy McShipper

        Actually, Mike was already in the scene, even if off-panel in the fifth.
        So the sixth one boasts a 75% additional people.

  38. LiC

    I love Joyce’s look in the last panel. “OH NOES! I’m in the presences of pee-marital hanky-panky!”

    1. Spazman

      I…..REALLY don’t think Joyce is ready for pee hanky-panky, regardless of the marital status

      1. LiC

        Cursed auto-text! This is what I get to writing a response via iphone. Although, you gotta admit if she freaks out over PRE-marital sex, that other kind would freaking destroy her. 😛

        1. madd

          I dunno … does she care if there’s pee so long as it’s marital?

        2. Shippy McShipper

          It would be pretty hilarious to find out that she’s on board with any and all perversions and fetishes, so long as you have your marriage certificate at hand.

        3. vlademir1

          Considering what we know of her parents in the other continuity I’d wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case, assuming that they’re similar here.

    2. Tenn

      “With this urine, I thee wet.”

      1. Jason

        Win!

  39. GenericScreenName101

    So…… Mike… How is the show going and haw was your dinner?

  40. Stonergrimm

    I swear I could hear the record scratch in-between the last 2 panels.

  41. TemplarKnight

    Dorothy totally expected Joe, Joyce, Mike, and Roz to jump over, but she is shocked at the green shirted individual’s sudden interest, considering that is the only person she is looking at.

    1. Atcote

      Huh. We both decided to comment on that guy at the same time. Uncanny.
      This world is a most mysterious place indeed.

  42. Atcote

    Poor dude in green shirt. He’s got no idea what he’s doing there.
    ‘Everyone just appeared here, and I suppose I did too. Hey guys. So, the blonde and the grubby guy are going at it? That’s cool.
    Where was I before anyway?
    What’s going to happen to me after this panel? Am I just going to stop existing.
    Man, I’d feel terrible about this if it was going to matter at all.’

    1. Roborat

      Is his name Rosencrantz, by any chance?

  43. Wack'd

    This is going to lead into a damn interesting conversation. It must, otherwise there’s no reason for this to happen around gender studies and not, say, at some other class they all coincidentally have together.

  44. Mikehatesyou

    Joyce’s expression in the last panel is just a result of how disgusting she finds Walky still wearing yesterday’s butt taco stained t-shirt.

  45. Aesir

    I just love how everyone just magically appears in the last panel

  46. TexasUberAlles

    This comic is so brilliant even Joyce gets it. Bra-vo, suh. Bra-vo.

  47. Valdrax

    Who is the untagged person in the green shirt in the last panel, and why do they care?

  48. Spazman

    Mike. is. watching. You.

  49. BugBerry

    don’t know If i like Joyce’s silent shock or Mike’s shark-like focused stare better.

  50. Jimmy

    I have a feeling Mike was observing them in the exact same way last night, all night long *queue porn music*

  51. Tenn

    I’m considering a Butt-Taco shirt, but can you get it with the salsa stain?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      You can add those on yourself.

  52. Arkadi

    …that’s what she said ^^

  53. Faeyas

    I must admit that a good part of why I like this strip is reading the commentary. It just makes it.

  54. Asuka L.S.

    I sense a fit of screaming. It’ll probably be the phrase “pre-marital hanky-panky”.

    *puts in earplugs*

  55. Blob Marley

    Walky’s just adapting to college. If you’re not wearing the same shirt three days in a row…

    you probably have too many quarters.

  56. Heavensrun

    Joyce clearly is seething with jealousy that Walky got to first base with Dorothy before she did.

    1. Kernanator

      Who’s on first?

      1. Aspect

        Naturally.

  57. Krimson

    Anyone shipping JoycexMike yet?

    1. L

      I’m shipping MikeXYourMom.

  58. ziggy78eog

    Where did this kitty come from, and what is up with that empty burlap sack?

  59. david with a small d

    THIS STRIP IS WIN

  60. Roborat

    That last panel almost makes up for the trauma I endured in that other strip, you know which one I refer to. I say almost, mind you. I am just glad I read this one last.

    I have a question, when people who wear glasses do a facepalm, how do they avoid getting their glasses all smeared and greasy?

    1. sreiches

      Go directly over the center of the face, cup the fingers slightly. You won’t actually touch the lenses. Just make sure your hand hits high enough that your pinky clears the frame.

      1. Alex

        I just let them smudge and then clean them off.

  61. Kafloobop

    I like how Joe and Joyce seem to be the only ones reacting to this in the last panel, the rest of ’em are just kinda….there.

  62. sockv

    Where did that cat come from and why am I holding this bag?

      Every day should end with Joe showing up with tissues and lotion.
