        6. desai

          That’s Joe’s kind of girl.

          Joe’s kind of girl… female?

        Joe(y) Tribbiani?

      4. Icalasari

        For future reference, when Gravatars change again, the avatar is a Joe Avatar where he has… Well, look to this days comic for what the expression looks like

        1. Toad

          It’s the expression Joe *always* has.

    2. Pizzathehutt

      Now kiss!

    3. Yotomoe

      Joeing intensifies.

    4. |Agent

      All the above avatars are just perfect.

      1. Sgore

        Given the alt text, yours is as well.

    5. Tan

      Joe is -always- prepared to joe.

  2. Jen Aside

    I’m surprised JOE wants to sit there, or is he only daring because Mike’s not around?

    1. David Herbert

      His libido has given him amnesia.

      1. Aizat

        Well, libidos can be an amnesiac.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        This is what happens when not enough blood gets to the upper head.

  3. Geminia999

    Important development!!! Joe wears a watch!

    1. Yotomoe

      So he knows what time the ladies come by.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Here’s Joes watch.

        http://www.aaanything.net/wp-content/gallery/amazing-products-invented/thumbs/thumbs_what_time_is_it_time_to_fuck_clock.jpg

        1. Badeyes

          Ron Burgundy will appear in future ads for this awesomeness.

    2. LockeZ

      It’s for use in pickup lines.
      “Baby, my watch must be fast, because I could have sworn you said you were 18!”

  4. Van Dyne

    Joyce’s eyes take up an enormous fraction of her head. how did she miss that?

    1. GoldStarz

      Her eyes may be big, but her field of vision is blind to all things Joe.

      1. JustcallmeSoul

        It’s a defense mechanism.

    2. Glynvel

      Willis went all Sergio Leone on us. If it’s not in the camera shot, it doesn’t exist yet.

  5. mechaqua

    Check your peripherals Joyce!

  6. Wonder Wig

    Joe provides his own Rifftrax.

    1. ninja_jesus

      Oh jeez, now we need a Rifftrax of nothing but “Ladies?”.

  7. Kladeos

    I love how characters are usually shown drinking chocolate milk in the cafeteria, just like I did!

    1. David Willis

      Dorothy has iced tea, Joyce has Sprite, and Sarah has an empty glass.

      1. Van Dyne

        So inconsiderate of her to use a glass to drink nothing.

        1. GoldStarz

          I’ll have you know that nothing tastes delicious!

        2. Yotomoe

          I usually wrap my nothing in a plastic bag.

        3. Kennerly

          The age old question: Is Sarah’s glass empty, or is it full of nothing?

        4. Wack'd

          …there’s nothing in this cup.

      2. Rick

        Some would call it full of nothing.

      3. Kladeos

        Now I’m sad.

        1. Kelly

          Me too. Aside from water, chocolate milk is the best drink.

      4. JustcallmeSoul

        I’d say that its filled with a Gaseous mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Various other elements/chemicals.

      5. Groove

        This glass is a metaphor for Joe’s chances.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      So much for my kahlua/cognac theory. 😛

      1. Kladeos

        Okay, my best guess is – Marceline the Vampire Queen? Don’t see bite marks though.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Yes and the bite marks are there, they’re just hard to see in 64×64 is all.

        2. Kladeos

          Do I get points for guessing correctly?!

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Like in frequent flyer points? nah, I don’t have an ABN.

        4. Kladeos

          Boo. What’s ABN?

    3. Kernanator

      If you’re not drinking chocolate milk whenever it’s available, I’m not sure I want to know you.

    4. John

      I’m pretty sure Amber was drinking Dew back here. Danny’s is probably Pepsi.

      1. David Willis

        These are both correct assumptions.

        1. Random832

          Holy crap, IU has Pepsi products?

  8. Nono

    It would seem extremely awkward if Joe were to hit on Dorothy. After all, he already knows she’s in a relationship.

    I presume he already tried it on Sarah and got warned off with a bat.

    1. Wolfe

      omg can somebody please draw this

      1. Yotomoe

        FINE!

        1. Yotomoe

          http://i.imgur.com/TzMQFjd.png

        2. ninja_jesus

          Incredibly kinky (and intimidating).

        3. N0083rP00F

          Baseball? Awww, and here I was looking forward too Batman.
          If he was on exchange from Japan then Strike-Man and his sidekick / nemesis Home-Run-Girl.

    2. March

      Joe is kind of an interesting guy in that he doesn’t seem to mind if a gal is in a relationship. He wouldn’t be looking to “steal” Dorothy, so much as he has no issue offering himself to any woman for some fun, assuming she knows best for herself.

      I’m not sure I like that trait, because it seems very disrespectful of relationships in themselves, but at the same time, Joe does not know if it’s an exclusive relationship and assumes any woman knows what is best for herself. So while he’s disrespectful of relationships, he’s respectful of the people he’s actually having sex with.

      1. E.R.

        That is probably better than the reverse.

        1. March

          Yes, which is why I like the trait so far. At the same time, I’m uncomfortable with it because it seems like a somewhat risky way to behave. Just because the person he is having sex with is okay with it doesn’t always mean their partner is, and unfortunately, people tend to lash out at the perceived “interloper”. I worry that Joe will be on the undeserved receiving end of a beat-down. (Not that the partner committing infidelity would deserve it either)

        2. PlayaSinNombre

          Some people would say that the hypothetical beat-down is not undeserved.

        3. Fred

          The beatdown IS undeserved. If you have to resort to physical violence to keep your partner from being unfaithful or to scare away “interlopers,” then your relationship is in serious need of aid, don’t cha think?

        4. begbert2

          Which is why you’re not beating your partner; it’s why you’re beating the asshole who walked up to your relationship, said, “Hmm, I have no respect for this other fellow’s feelings and desires, especially when dismissing them allows me to get poontang!” Okay, it may not deserve an actual beating, but like fellows who cut you off in traffic or push their way to the front of the line, he’s not exactly a hero of the nation either.

        5. Kladeos

          I think the partner is more at fault. They’re the ones who betrayed you. The other party just let them.

        6. N0083rP00F

          Nope, its like saying the vendor is not held responsible for whatever they are selling. Just the mere act of giving the hard sell of a product to an inappropriate audience is reprehensible.
          Machiavelli / Orwell / Terry Gilliam were using sarcasm and NOT writing handbooks on how to do things for fun and profit.
          Unfortunately the target audience of sarcasm do not have the capabilities to understand it for what it is.

        7. Vash

          Nobody should be beating anybody I believe is the point. Nothing about this warrants violence, only a serious talk with both your partnet and the “interloper”.

        8. Rutee

          Lovers aren’t property, so it wouldn’t be warranted, period..

  9. GoldStarz

    I think in about 5 seconds Joe isn’t going to want to sit there more than Joyce shouldn’t sit there.

  10. Plasma Mongoose

    “Oh Joe, I think you need to go.”

    1. GoldStarz

      Joe: “To the bedroom?”

      Sarah: “To the funeral home.”

      1. Aizat

        Joe:”Ooh, kinky.”

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          “Baby let me light your funeral pyre”.

        2. GoldStarz

          Sarah: Unfortunately, I can’t go with you. I need to go to the nearest Sport Authority. *pulls out bat from conveniently hidden back pack* I need to get a new bat.

        3. GoldStarz

          “… Although I have to say, it’s going to be easier to find a replacement for my bat than it is for yours.”

        4. Yotomoe

          “You don’t think Joe gets his dick sucked at funerals!?
          You’re about to get DEALT WITH!”

        5. Aizat

          Joe loves to do it everywhere.

        6. N0083rP00F

          Do they have either an Medical Examiners or Morticians program at the college?

        7. nothri

          The good news is Joe will save a ton of money on funeral expenses since he’s so good at digging his own grave.

  11. norj

    Hitting on Joyce and Sarah quick way too end up dead Joe.

  12. Demon_Something

    Are we seeing the salvaging of the good ship JoexSarah?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Sarah puts the bat in battleship.

    2. mechaqua

      Sarah Scuttled that ship, but Joe’s still standing on it unaware of the rising water.

      1. Wack'd

        A captain always goes down with his ship.

  13. mechaqua

    Is there a butt taco in this picture?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I hope that doesn’t mean that it tastes like arse.

      1. mechaqua

        well she could have put this on then it would taste like arse
        http://theonestophotshop.co.uk/SMART-ARSE-SAUCE-extreme-chilli-sauce

        1. Phlebas

          The sauce that makes your arse smart?

        2. begbert2

          Yes – your ass and all other sensitive tissue it passes through.

  14. Aizat

    Hello ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me.

    1. Yotomoe

      But if he becomes 30% jaw he could look like me.

      1. Aizat

        Look down. Now back up. You’re on a boat with a man your man’s jaw can look like.

      2. Pizzathehutt

        If he became 100% asshole, he could be me, and have your mom for a Nickle.

  15. Aizat

    I hear Mung Daal’s voice when Joe said “Ladies”

    1. Pizzathehutt

      Wanna see some “Squats”?

      1. Rick

        Would I!

        1. Yotomoe

          Ladies….
          Squats…

        2. AndromedaRage

          Would you?

    2. GoldStarz

      *Truffles Vpice*

      Get back to work!

      1. Aizat

        Quick, someone draw Joe and Sarah as Mung and Truffles.

    3. Valdrax

      And I hear the title-text in GIR’s voice. “TAAACOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS!!!”

  16. Someone

    Joyce is getting increasingly rebellious with the amount of cleavage she’s showing, there. Next she’ll be riding a motorcycle and smoking cigarettes!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      She leveled up recently and put a point towards the Cleavage skill, maybe later on she will put an extra point towards the Great Cleavage skill.

      1. Yotomoe

        She will greatly cleave people with her cleavage.

    2. John

      She’s got three letters to go before she’s allowed a motorcycle.

    3. begbert2

      Doesn’t seem like more than the usual to me.

      1. John

        Dorothy, on the other hand, looks to be running a full button lower than usual.

  17. Nono

    Also, just given what we’ve seen, Joe actually looks really nice in a collar shirt and with a watch. Can’t tell if it’s a dress shirt though.

    1. Nono

      I also just noticed it’s apparently stripes day – Joe and Dorothy both have purplish shirts with vertical stripes, Joyce has some odd stripage with her sweater vest, and Sarah has chosen to be out of the loop.

  18. Super Duper

    Joe, you know this is going to end badly. Stop it.

  19. Mr. Random

    Why, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    O(They Leave.)OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(More people sit.) LADIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES.
    Wait, who are you?

  20. VizardJeffhog

    But if your man stopped using ladies’ scented body wash and switched to Joe Spice, he could smell like he’s me!

    1. ironbillie

      A week old dead dog?

      1. mechaqua

        I assume it smells like rubbing alcohol and an air-freshener

    2. Aizat

      Look down. Back up. You’re on a boat with a man your man could smell like.

    3. All Else Fails

      I’m pretty sure it’s not Joe’s scent that attracts ladies.

      It’s his sultriness. Try something like… Orbit.

  21. Xartarin

    Who eats just plain meat tacos? Where’s the lettuce, or the tomatoes, or the cheese?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Stuff the lettuce, I rather just have more spicy sauce with my meat.

      1. Tahkuya

        Joe approves this message

    2. Yotomoe

      Mike ate your mom’s plain meat taco.

    3. Kernanator

      Me. I’ll have beans and rice in it, but no vegetables.

    4. Valdrax

      I believe you meant the cilantro and chopped raw, right?

      (Honestly, though, that’s why I don’t eat authentic tacos. Bleh on both ingredients…)

    5. hof1991

      Taco “meat” is only about 50% meat anyway. The rest of it is certain to be healthy.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        It depends on if you get your taco from a restaurant like BURP or you make it yourself.

    6. LiaHansen

      Are we all just going to ignore the fact that, while Joyce may or may not be having plain meat tacos, Dorothy seems to have some sort of amorphous green blob for lunch?

    7. Romanticide

      Almost all mexicans?… honestly, the tacos with lettuce and tomato are the exception more than the rule (unless you count the fried ones http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacos_dorados) And tacos with cheese tend to have other name other than tacos…

    8. kelticat

      You are talking about a girl who picks all the toppings off her pizza, because it is “gross” when they touch. I truly doubt that she would mix things up on her tacos.

  22. Kernanator

    Joe, this is not the reaction I would have expected from you, given the history here.

    1. Yotomoe

      I would have expected “NOT THE FACE!”

      1. Kernanator

        I know, right?

    2. Deathjavu

      That’s pretty much what I was thinking.

      It’s like…Joe, you tried with Joyce. And came to the conclusion it was a bad idea and you’d have to be “insane” to sleep with her. I guess the only information Joe’s missing is that Sarah’s just as violent and even more protective of Joyce than Mike. Don’t you value your face?

      1. John

        Just as violent as Mike? I haven’t seen Mike play tee-ball with a dude’s skull yet.

        1. Deathjavu

          Hitting someone in a situation where you’ve been attacked is not necessarily as violent as punching someone totally unprovoked. Violence requires context,- hence why self-defense isn’t assault. (Or why Amber isn’t a terrible person for throwing the first punch.)

          Sarah’s done bigger violence, sure. But the provocation was much larger.

        2. John

          Leaving aside the question of violence vs. justification, Sarah also punched someone totally unprovoked.

    3. begbert2

      You’re assuming he’s not just trying to piss her off (while simultaneously trying to hit on Sarah and Dorothy. Yes, Joe can make a single word multitask. He’s just that good).

    4. Bemmie

      Maybe, just maybe, Joe’s joeing sense picked up on Joyce’s rebelliousness and is thinking he might try for another shot?

  23. Henry

    Dammit, Joe. Joyce just wants her tacos.

    1. Aizat

      Well, Joe want to corn her taco…if you catch my drift.

      1. Aizat

        I meant fill her taco.

        1. Mr. Random

          Fill her taco with his brown meat.
          Ground meat is brown right?
          right…..

        2. GoldStarz

          Ground meat is in fact brown.

    2. begbert2

      Now now, Joyce has given indications of being bisexual. So while she wants her tacos, she also is interested in some sausage on the side. (Just not Joe’s.)

  24. March

    I love that Joyce is the sort of person to aggressively befriend people. It’s such a weird trait to like, but I do genuinely enjoy being around people who want you to be happy and surrounded by friends, even if you yourself are okay being solitary. There’s something very endearing about people who want you to be happy for no other reason than because they like you.

    And I love that Sarah just lets Joyce do as she likes, and protects her from the sort of people who would ruin that happy personality. People like Joe.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with Joe, but Joyce & Joe are like oil and a match.

    1. John

      Eh, Joe and Joyce just got off on the wrong foot. They’re opposites, but, like Dorothy and Walky, they could be good for each other. There’ve been signs that he was affected by the date, and we know she likes tall, dark, Jewish boys, so maybe they can meet in the middle.

      1. March

        That’s true, but neither of them are quite ready to meet in that middle just yet. The both of them seem very immature for their years, and need a little more time. I see them as being friends by their junior year, at the very least, after Joe has accepted not everyone wants to have sex 24/7 without being oppressed and Joyce is okay with people being perfectly fine having sex with casual partners/no serious ties.

        It is probably a friendship that will bring about many people’s doom.

  25. Shrugs

    Joe’s not really hitting on anyone here, “Hello, Ladies” is just his default greeting.

    1. All Else Fails

      You know Sarah. People can’t change, in her opinion.

      1. March

        More like she’s waiting for the rest of the line. She knows Joe well enough to know he will never leave it at “Hello, Ladies”. Which is both good and bad for Joe. People know his reputation quickly, but on the other hand, he likely enjoys his quickly forming reputation.

      2. Blue Dragon

        If Sarah believed people couldn’t change, she wouldn’t have to worry that <a href="http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/05-media-rumble/break/"the world was going to break Joyce.

        1. Blue Dragon

          Oops.

        2. John

          She knows people can change. She doesn’t believe people can change for the better.

    2. Nono

      Joe still says “Hello, Ladies” when walking into a room full of dudes.

      He even greets his dad the same way.

      1. Yotomoe

        And he always greets Danny like that.

    3. Luzahn

      See, the problem is that Joe’s default greetings are automatically hitting on people.

      1. ninja_jesus

        Does that make Joe this universe’s Captain Jack Harkness?

        1. Luzahn

          Eh, he doesn’t lust after Danny quite enough

          …that we know of.

        2. leonou

          He used to. But marriageis a libido killer.

        3. ninja_jesus

          So that makes Danny Ianto Jones? 😀

  26. Tahkuya

    ITS A TRAP!

    1. Aizat

      YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!

      1. All Else Fails

        REVERSE CARDO OPEN!
        ENEMY CONTOROTA!

          I now begin 3 moves in one turn because this is the anime!

    2. Tahkuya

      Joyce uses trap jammer…you know cause Joes going to get hit

      1. ironbillie

        SCREW THE RULES! I AM RICH!

    3. Mr K

      Which one is a boy?

  27. Aizat

    All Joe needs is a Colt Python, a Mini/Fiat Uno/ Honda CR-X and an improbable aiming skills, he could make a great Ryo Saeba replacement.

  29. Philippe G.

    Joe should know better, what with his previous date with Joyce.
    But then again, Mike isn’t around.

    1. Yotomoe

      Mike will pop up from below the table and clock Joe in the jaw.

      1. Luzahn

        Mike is always watching, waiting, for any opportunity to be a jerk.

  30. Mr. Random

    I keep seeing sex puns in these comments.
    I’m not entirely sure some of them are on purpose.

    1. Aizat

      Well, we are punny people.

  31. Yotomoe

    I wish I didn’t know it was Sunday. I was gonna make a Taco Tuesday Joke!

    1. ironbillie

      It is still Tuesday in my neck of the woods. Go right ahead.

      1. Yotomoe

        TACO TUESDAY!

        1. Jay Eff

          One of our local Mexican restaurants puts ground beef tacos on sale for Taco Tuesday.

          Unfortunately, their ground beef tacos are awful.

        2. N0083rP00F

          Well the beef is ground right?
          Ground – earth – turf – sod – grass – weed – ……..

  32. Neospector

    On the bright side, he’s in perfect taco-hurling distance!

    1. Mr K

      Yeah, all the woman want to hurl their tacos in his face, if you know what I mean.

  33. Jay Eff

    Mmmm, it’s taco day.

    *Joe says pick-up line involving tacos*

    Dammit, Joe!

  34. Gottawonder

    Mike doesn’t wait around looking for an opportunity to be a jerk.
    He lurks around waiting for an opportunity to make other people look like jerks.
    And he likes it.

    Dorothy is ignoring Taco Tuesday Sunday, opting for a blob of Green Stuff® instead.

    You all should try it. It’s rather tasty.

    1. Yotomoe

      It’s Stuff Sunday

    2. Mr K

      It’s uranium. She’ll get superpowers soon.

      1. Roborat

        Or cancer.

        1. The Candyman

          Her superpower will be giving people cancer.

  36. Andiemus

    Oh, I’ve missed you so much, Joe.

  37. Kennerly

    Wait a sec. Are they having tacos for breakfast?

    1. Jay Eff

      Why not?

      1. Random832

        I love how they’ve got it stuffed so full of meat they can’t use a regular shaped waffle, even though taco shells are normally circular.

      It’s after noon. Joyce has been to church and is back. This probably qualifies as lunch for her.

      Even if poor Riley is only just now managing to get her sister dragged out of bed for breakfast.

      1. Bill

        But if it’s after noon then breakfast hours are over; wouldn’t the cereal be put away?  Riley is in for a big letdown.

        1. Kladeos

          At my university cereal was available at all hours. You wouldn’t get hot breakfast foods past breakfast, though, except on weekends when they served brunch.

        2. John

          If it’s anything like my college, the cereal dispensers are out 24×7. Putting them away just means that you need to have somewhere away to put them, and pay someone to spend time and effort putting them out and taking them in. Why bother?

          This was a Sunday afternoon after Joyce got back from church, too.

    4. Roborat

      Well, last page it was after noon, so that is probably the lunch menu?

  38. AndysDrawings

    Man-cleavage! :3

  39. Makkabee

    Joyce eats tacos. More signs of barely repressed lesbianism for her to freak out about once someone* points out the symbolism to her.

    * and by “someone” I clearly mean “Joe.”

    1. Bill

      What does it mean if you eat burritos?

      1. The Candyman

        If you’re a woman, nothing. If you’re a guy…

  40. Aaron

    Is it wrong that I get excited whenever Joe is in a comic? I mean I enjoy drama as much as the next guy and I’m loving where every character’s story is going, but after a few months of weapons grade drama bombs being dropped I see Joe and just go “Whew, we’re back in a seriousness free zone.”

    1. Logician

      I laugh at your naivety

  41. someguywithakatana

    Wait. Doesn’t Joe know these women? Is he not aware of how he doesn’t have a chance with at least 2 of them? If he’s genre-savvy, all 3.

    1. begbert2

      Joe’s up on his reading, and knows what a tsundere is. As far as he’s concerned it’s only a matter of time. With at least 2 of them.

  42. CianM1301

    It appears that Walky’s obsession with tacos finally got to Joyce!

    1. David Willis

      Whose obsession? http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/04-time-keeps-on-slippin/box/

      1. CianM1301

        Oh. I stand corrected.

  43. asmcint

    Is it just me, or are Joyce’s boobs bigger? 0.o

    1. Mr K

      Dorothy’s been tampering with her clothes.

    2. begbert2

      Actually she’s always had a very fine set of sweatervest-puppies.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Puppies grow up so fast these days. 😀

        1. asmcint

          I remember when they were THIS big. *extends index finger and thumb to half their maximum span*

  44. Jimmy

    Joe! Excellent!

  45. Crumplepunch

    Did Doc Rosenthal shave or did Joe forget what happened last time he hit on Joyce?

    1. Mr K

      Mike isn’t around

      1. The Candyman

        He’s wherever you don’t want him to be. Would Joe and Joyce’s wants cancel each other out on that point?

        1. Mr K

          So would only half of mike appear

  46. hmrc4evr

    For me, Joe is like The Silence.

    If I don’t see him, I totally forget he exists.

    Which in my case is a very good thing because I just don’t like him.

  47. Rse

    😉 nice open button-down drawing.

  48. Mr K

    The real reason Sarah doesn’t want Joyce there is because she doesn’t want anything between her and Joe.

  49. XMinusOne

    Joe is diligently pursuing his BS in Horndog and taking advanced courses. You have to admire his undiminished confidence in his studliness and the inherent desire of women to take a ride on his skin pole.

  50. Narf

    Damn you, Willis, now I want tacos. >=(

  51. Jack

    I don’t understand. Where’s Riley?

    1. Keroshino

      Yeah I miss her already!

  52. Bill M.

    Why do I wish a revisiting of the “coffee” joke from GTA: Vice City?

    For those who don’t remember, go find the intro to the “Trojan Voodoo” mission.

  53. nothri

    Joyce, FYI, mentioning how Sarah goes out of her way to ensure you have a pleasant showering experience is probably not a good conversation topic sitting next to Joe.

    1. nothri

      I mean, chances are Joe has all the ammunition he needs what with you and those tacos. The innuendo practically writes itself. But no sense in giving him an even easier target.

      1. nothri

        Actually, you know what? The real disaster would be to repeat this conversation:

        http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/noises/

  54. Rani

    This comic strip translates to the narrative telling us, after all that drama and madness: “…and then there’s this dumb fuck”

  55. John

    Also, Sarah has the best expressions in this strip. She’s rivaling some of Joyce’s masterworks.

  56. JA

    Oh Joe, you silly.

  57. Nena

    I laugh at guys like Joe. They are so clueless about how pathetic they look when they try to mack on every chick they see.

    1. Deathjavu

      I always had the impression that they didn’t particularly care what other people thought, for better or worse.

      And, I mean, obviously they don’t think it’s pathetic.

      But what do I know? I’m pretty far removed from that archetype.

    2. tahrey

      It appears to be a close variant of how I’ve heard a certain stand-up comic describe he and his friends’ usual strategy for hooking up in nightclubs as teenagers … just ask every single girl you see, in order… if one says no, then immediately move on. If they all turn you down, move on to the next club. Eventually you will get a date and/or shag out of it, and when your hormones are raging that hard, you’re not particularly picky as to the attractiveness of your partner so long as they’re mostly the right sex, mostly alive, and don’t actually make you vomit more than one extra time on top of what the copious amounts of cheap alcohol already has…

      Joe seems to be persuing a similar (and, evolutionarily speaking, fairly well adapted) strategy, just with slightly higher standards. And not quite as high a level of mack as his dad, which suggests his mother may have been a little more demure and contributed at least a little genetic material in that area.

  58. Jack Finch

    She said Sarah (hmpf….snicker) …looked….(tee hee, oh god) …looked like she could (hmpf…) …use some company. Sarah.

    Oh god, now that’s funny.

  59. tahrey

    Tacos for breakfast? Brave…

    1. DarkoNeko

      I had the same thought, but Billie&Ruthless mentionned it was past noon earlier.
