I know that the characters are supposed to be relatively caught up developmentally to their AU-counterparts, but this still surprised me for some reason.
Deny/repress… Such cute words atheists use for “control rather than being controlled by”…
Wack'd
You’re both wrong. Or both right. Something.
There are people with healthy libidos who repress/deny sexual urges because they think they should due to moral standards, and there are people with abnormally large libidos who repress/deny sexual urges
because they’d be controlled by them otherwise.
To conflate the two is an insult to both parties. And to immediately put religious folks in the first camp and atheists in the second is moreso.
If we have, certainly not as coyly as she is there. Her cuteness in the last panel is only rivaled by Joe’s smushed up face in panel 3. (Never thought I’d think Joe cute, either.)
Joyce’s impure thoughts: “I’m actually touching a man. I’m touching his FACE.” Then, unbidden, an image of her giving that firm cheek a peck of a kiss.
That, people, is the extent of impurity that runs through Joyce’s mind, which makes her blush.
Then again, whether she recognizes him as one or not, she has been running her hands over the head of a guy that’s little more than a walking phallic symbol.
Remember this is a whole different universe; we’ve already seen some big differences. This may be one in which the Anti-Joyce side of her personality comes to the fore, and she becomes a raving nymphomaniac.
But then, I gave up trying to predict what Willis might do about ten years ago.
thanks guys. and idk what he is, this is the first willis comic i’ve read
Ancestral Hamster
My bad. It is a mispelling of “ethic”. So “morally challenged” instead of evil.
@ScytheAkse: It’s Monkey Master, who is of significance in the It’s Walky continuity (should you be interested). Your current random gravatar is of his DoA appearance, which is only as a comic/cartoon character.
Or just wait until a new character gets added to the mix and the randomly assigned ones will shuffle. (It’s been a while, meaning I’m probably still Roz.)
This reminds of the old movies/novels where a girl accidentally touches a boy and the girl blushes and they fall in love. I always wondered how Pride and Prejudice would look like if Sidney Sheldon was allowed to rewrite it.

Don’t fall for it, Joyce!

She looks so cute in that last panel
AGH! Gotta change this Gravatar.
Scrawly
How can Mike be the most endearing character, even while offscreen?
David Herbert
Because he’s Batman.
Jack
Is he?
Then Joe must be the “Joe-ker.”
BrokenEye, True False Prophet
Well, now that you mention it he is a bit of a cur
Darth Shadow
Yer fighting a losin’ battle there, Joyce.
Jen Aside
The Mike XD
arjay2813
oh no, is joyce in love again? and will it be as bad as in Roomies!?
..that is not an interrobang, everything by Willis except DoA has an exclamation mark, and i just noticed that
That guy
Joyce isn’t following joe around so I don’t think so
Wackd
…Joyce has…impure thoughts?
I know that the characters are supposed to be relatively caught up developmentally to their AU-counterparts, but this still surprised me for some reason.
Lois Lane
Yes. She was thinking about holding his hand, maybe even walking on the beach hand-in-hand.

Everyone (save asexuals) have impure thoughts. Religious people just deny/repress them.

Vigilante (n): any person who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime.
I don’t think that was what you meant. Oops! Otherwise love this one.
XMD
Vigilant is probably what you want. If you change the comic it will totally make my day, else, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEE
Joebo
He is THE MIKE. He is the Mike upon which all other Mikes are judged. He is registered in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. In France.
Rognik
So what exactly does one Mike measure? Are there milliMikes? deciMikes? (Heaven forbid) kiloMikes?
CWR
“Mike-mike” is actually ‘Nam era military slang for millimeter, or mm – or so I’ve read; I’m not that old…
Chronciler
Mike measures the cost of your mom. It is exactly one nickel.
Mally
I propose we change the name of the five cent coin to ‘Mike’
Steve
Premarital hanky panky alert.
David Herbert
I think I might actually laugh if things do go that far.
With his penis.
Bill M.
Virginity Alarm! It’s designed to go off before he does.

SPACEBALLS FTW!
DaniellePhantom
final joyce may be the absolute most adorable ever. have we seen her blushing before?
Rognik
If we have, certainly not as coyly as she is there. Her cuteness in the last panel is only rivaled by Joe’s smushed up face in panel 3. (Never thought I’d think Joe cute, either.)
Lokitsu
Blushing Joyce FTW!
(Holy Crap is she cute!)
Dierna
*lmao*@Mike
Joyce…you know better than to have those types of thoughts in your head. tsk tsk….
Mkvenner
there is only one thing chuck noris fears and thats MIKE.
Black_Fedora
Wouldn’t you be a tad bit fearful if the child you gave up for adoption was that much like you on the ‘badass-ometer’, only for it to be Mike?
Cratacon
And it was on that day that Joyce discovered her first fetish: men who have recently been punched by Mike.
Malph
All women have that fetish. It’s the closest they’ll get to having sex with Mike without being a mother who whores themself out for a nickle.
Animal
Last panel: That’s one temple for the Lord that ain’t wearin’ a bra.
Steven
I’m going to paint a picture for you people.
Joyce’s impure thoughts: “I’m actually touching a man. I’m touching his FACE.” Then, unbidden, an image of her giving that firm cheek a peck of a kiss.

Quite likely, sure.
Then again, whether she recognizes him as one or not, she has been running her hands over the head of a guy that’s little more than a walking phallic symbol.

Cranberrier
…touching his FACCCCEEEEEEEEEE
zuche
So far, we’ve avoided a performance of Joed to Joyce, but will she regret bringing that Mike onstage?
Zap
Punch them all in the face, Mike.
Then punch their moms. In the ass. With your penis.
Dedlok
omg Joyce in panel 4 and 5 is like the cutest thing EVER.
Level Up!
Perverse Lust Harboring Increased.
Alechsa
Joe with pouty face is adorableness….. No, Mike, do not hit her now… hit HIM again for making that seductive facial expression!! The tricky bastard!
Mirenheart
I like how Joyce looks in the last panel.
Also I love that Ginger’s Bread ad that appeared on this page:
Ginger saying “Your mom’s 90% less likely to get screwed by Mike over at my place!”
XD
Not Phrog
It’s a good ad, but it’s a false promise.
Stephen
No it’s not. It clearly states that your mom is %90 percent less likely to be screwed by Mike. It says nothing about banging.
Laurelsing
I honestly can’t tell whether Joe’s expression in the last panel is in regards to Joyce or in regards to what Mike is saying.
ScytheAkse
tsk tsk joyce, also if mike hits woman i am all for joe hitting mike (disregard that ive been all for that since the beganing )
also do i have to get a gravatar inorder to stop being the evil monkey?
begbert2
You’re not evil; you’re just misunderstood.
Ancestral Hamster
It’s “ethnically challenged.” 😀
Seriously, yes, you do. (In my case, it was to stop being Mary.)
begbert2
I’m not sure ‘simian’ is an ethnicity.
ScytheAkse
thanks guys. and idk what he is, this is the first willis comic i’ve read

Yup.

My God, Joe has seen the tapes! This is playing out just like some sort of porno. Except for, y’know, Mike.
sun tzu
The cuteness! It is over 9 kilokittens!
zuche
That is one large kitty.
boogily
it’s twelve gigad’awws
Shift
Do it Mike. Strike her down and become more powerful than anyone could ever imagine!
Tristan J
“I apolgize about the Mike and the punching.”
I thought it was Joe that was Jewish 😛
Lukos
NOOOO JOYCE!!!!! DON’T DO IT!

Me likee.

Joyce in last two panels: D’awwww she’s so CUTE
ziggy78eog
Mike takes his job of punching people in the face very seriously.
Vanessa
Yes! Punch her! Punch her before it’s too late!
Just for kix
This reminds of the old movies/novels where a girl accidentally touches a boy and the girl blushes and they fall in love. I always wondered how Pride and Prejudice would look like if Sidney Sheldon was allowed to rewrite it.

Uh oh, Joyce is getting tempted!
