    ok, it’s a little obvious that’s not a selfie

    unless Dotty has a third hand we don’t know about

    1. NGPZ

      i mean Amber took it XD

    2. Yumi

      That’s a very funny aspect of this, and I’d kind of love it if Joyce’s only reaction was, “Wait, who took this?”

      1. Clif

        Dorothy is just that good.

      2. NGPZ

        for all she knows Dotty had but finesse and a selfie stick XD

      3. Just_IDD

        Oh I took it, I just had someone hold my blouse open!

        Sure, that makes it all better.

      4. Michael Steamweed

        Joyce: “Oh, yeah, it’s Dorothy. Recognize those freckles anywhere. Yeah, she’s got staff for this.”

    3. IntangibleMatter

      holy shit a new Ana Chronistic pfp

      1. Decidedly Orthogonal

        ‘rouns these parts they’re gravatars. You can spin the wheel on grav-roulette if’n you’d like.

        There’s an article about Grav Roulette on the Walkypedia.

        https://walkypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Grav_Roulette

        1. Needfuldoer

          Ana almost always picks a custom one from the preview panels Willis posts on Tumblr/Bluesky, then sticks with it until the strip it appears in comes around.

    4. ian livs

      For all Joyce knows she could’ve used the photo timer feature

      1. Yumi

        The angle does make that seem like a lot of work. As opposed to the cool, breezy joke that it definitely is.

        1. mneme

          Tripod. Or suction cup phone stand. The tools exist!

        2. Mollyscribbles

          Selfie stick, maybe?

        3. Aquila

          Drone!

        4. Mark

          Set the timer, count down to last second, toss phone up, CLICK!, retrieve phone from carefully-placed pillow.

    5. AbacusWizard

      Holding the phone with her teeth, obviously.

    6. AGV/Ruby

      Maybe she was in Viktor’s cult and got to take the nex step in her Glorious Evolution.

      1. Doopyboop

        Dorothy’s solution to her Joyce situationship, join the cult headed by the grand leader of Situationships

    7. Leadsynth

      Y’all never prop your phone up against something and use the timer function to take a picture? Or use one of those mini tripod things? You don’t need a friend to do it for you. But yeah, it sort of takes away from the spur-of-the-moment-ness of it all for a naughty pic.

      1. Ana Chronistic

        a selfie by definition is taken by YOURSELF, not with a timer or whatever

    8. Decidedly Orthogonal

      I hope Dorothy is just enjoying seeing herself as the sex icon she so clearly is!

  2. not someone else

    *Cackling in bisexual*

  3. Matrix

    Hahahahah yes

    1. eh, whatever

      YES… HA HA HA… YES!

  4. Sirksome

    She wants her to see them.

    1. Dara

      Desperately.

  5. Mel

    Ah yes, the other person down bad for Joyce

    1. Opus the Poet

      Well something for Joyce

      1. Dday

        Downblouse for Joyce.

        1. Lee

          Wheezing, thank you

  6. Thag Simmons

    This is an Icarus-level commitment to the bit

  7. Paradoxius

    The pride flag on that sweater is flying upside down to honor how much of a disaster these two are.

    1. Morrison

      It’s upside down on her shirt so it is right side up every time Dorothy looks down at her phone.

      1. Opus the Poet

        Or her boobs.

      2. Amós Batista

        she’s already gay in Reverse World.

    2. toastergrl

      Flags are typically flown upside down by… ships in distress. Checks out!

  8. EtchJetty

    well it wouldn’t be a very good joke if it didn’t send would it.

    1. EtchJetty

      come on dotty. it’s funny. it’s for jokes. it’s for jokes dotty you have to resend it. be funny now

  9. Nono

    I honestly can’t tell anymore if this is meant to be a ‘Dorothy is overly attached to Joyce’ or ‘Dorothy is discovering her sexuality’ storyline.

    (I do find it kind of amusing that if Dorothy does turn out to be bi, that would just leave, what, four ‘straight’ main female cast members? Joyce, Sal, Sarah and Lucy.)

    1. Nono

      Oh wait, there’s Amber.

      1. Yumi

        Yeah, I was going to say– Amber’s more a mess than anything, but, like, a straight mess.
        I can’t remember why, but I think AG might not be straight.

        1. peng

          idk amber seemed pretty interested in getting joyorthcey happening

        2. Armadillo

          …So? Straight people are allowed to support not-straight relationships.

        3. Yumi

          Amber wants everyone to fuck all the time, but she doesn’t want to fuck everyone

        4. BarerMender

          I think Amber just craves mess. I’m messing up two lives for giggles? Sounds like fun.

        5. GholaHalleck

          Amber is there for the UST and the drama. She’s there for the characters.

          And we all know Joyce and Dotty are dudes in her fics.

        6. feli

          I am not into women (I tried lol) but I wanna see joyorthey happen! Shipping does not mean you want to be part of the ship or are aroused by it.

        7. Deanatay

          One’s orientation has nothing to do with one’s shipping interests.

    2. Heavensrun

      I’m pretty skeptical that Joyce is actually straight.

      1. Opus the Poet

        +1!

      2. Akane

        Me too. Joyce is definitely bi, and apparently so is Dorothy.

        1. Chaucer59

          But only until graduation?

      3. GholaHalleck

        It would be funny as all hell if Joyce is the only straight one though.

        But then, there’s the angst of Becky finding out she wasn’t scissor sister material for Joyce, but Dotty (her forever rival) is.

        And the possible scientific heartbreak of Dina questioning if she was a rebound, or the dreaded “no one else loves me, so I’m keeping you out of fear of being alone forever” paranoia.

        Then there’s the “Dotty realizing her newfound bisexuality crush comes with a built in BF” silver lining, until she remembers it’s *Joe,* and she hates Joe for… Being honest about being a horndog…

        1. Michael Steamweed

          Lots of intense drama potential there! Fortunately, Willis would never do any of that to us!

          …

          Right?

          :O

        2. eh, whatever

          Joyce still looks biromantic but heterosexual to me. But we’ll see.

        3. Jerach

          Given the “I’m cool with everything above the neck” comment she’s made previously that honestly would make sense.

        4. thejeff

          That is absolutely not why she hates Joe

        5. GholaHalleck

          Honestly, considering their track records, Joe has been a better significant other then Dotty across the board, even during his man ho phase. So she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.

        6. thejeff

          Joe has vastly improved, but the whole point of his earlier approach is that he wasn’t a significant other. That he objectified women. Made them feel unsafe.

    3. peng

      its both codependent yuri ftw

    4. Doopyboop

      I have two best friends that I’m quite attached to, and neither of which would I give boob pics to. Granted, part of that is because they are gay and aroace respectively, but also, I personally just wouldn’t feel compelled to send them a pic like that! So with Dorothy, I am… definitely on the side of her having feelings for Joyce. I think she just doesn’t understand it because up til this point she thought she was straight.

    5. I've Heard the Mowed Lawn Scream

      Turns out the comic being set in the home of the Kinsey Institute was just incredible foreshadowing ( ･ ͜･) ? We love to see it

    6. Mark

      Maybe it’s an “Amber has a wicked sense of humor and knows how to push Dorothy’s buttons” line.

    7. Astariel

      Doesn’t Jennifer still identify as straight, despite her multiple relationships with women?

      1. thejeff

        She had kind of a revelation at one point, when she went on an actual date with Ruth, but she seems to have reverted. Though I don’t think she’s actually said she was straight or outright denied being into girls since the timeskip, just heavily implied it.

      2. GholaHalleck

        She’s mentally “in the closet” again after the break up, is the long and short of it.

  10. Doki

    Yeah WOW this is pretty gay OMG

    1. NGPZ

      we be cranking up the gay to ELEVEN :D

  11. Cassie

    are you still sure you’re a 0 on the Kinsey scale Dorothy

  12. Dara

    So this storyline is… Joyce’s harem anime?

    1. Clif

      Works for me.

    2. peng

      maybe thats the whole comic

    3. Nono

      Sal is the final boss.

    4. Slartibeast Button, BIA

      By “First Girl Wins”, wouldn’t that mean she ends up with Sarah?

      1. GholaHalleck

        Anime rules, it would be Jocelyne.

        Tween drama rules, it would be Becky.

        Sarah only wins if we’re doing medieval pastiche or bodice ripper.

        1. RassilonTDavros

          “Anime rules, it would be Jocelyne.”

          I hate that you’re right.

    5. Michael Steamweed

      Me (*rubs chin thoughtfully): Yeah, we’re working on that. But the rate they’re going, Joyce’ll just get the harem all situated in time for them to start graduating.

  13. moon

    ok rainbow shirt

  14. Davus

    Yeah, this makes it clear that she like, actually planned it and is intentionally showing boobs. Pretty gay. (Okay personally I think Dorothy/Joyce is queerplatonic, at the moment.)

    1. Akane

      I don’t think there’s a heterosexual explanation for this.

      1. Tux Time

        Good thing that queer platonic relationships aren’t heterosexual!

  15. Opus the Poet

    Was that just one that didn’t deliver, or another undelivered for each time we see that?

  16. John Campbell

    Do it. Doooooo eeeeeet!

  17. IntangibleMatter

    I think it’s also very clear here that Dorothy is much better at the whole “semi-nude photos” thing than Joyce is

    1. John Campbell

      It’s Amber’s work, actually.

    2. Thag Simmons

      She really isn’t, she just called in a ringer.

    3. Amós Batista

      Joyce just need more flash

  18. peng

    sound of gears in head

  19. DailyBrad

    I feel her. If I took a naughty pic that good, I’d want to send it, too.

  20. Sirksome

    I guess there’s poor reception in the hall or wherever Joyce is having lunch, or Joyce’s inbox is somehow full, or someone accidentally put their phone in airplane mode? What are our theories? What’s the funniest/most autistic reason?

    1. NGPZ

      Zoomr or whatever, yet another one of Rutten’s Perfectly Functioning Apps™

    2. Yumi

      Dorothy has an app installed that automatically detects poor choices and she keeps having to set it to sleep mode for a couple hours

      1. Sillygoose

        I’ll put down some seed capital for that app

      2. Bicycle Bill

        Or it’s an app that realizes something is wrong here — sort of like it knows boob shots (or dick pics) are supposed to be sent nude, not semi-covered in a bra or a Speedo — and is giving the sender the opportunity to re-do it properly.

        1. Yumi

          “Oops! It seems you didn’t commit hard enough to the bit. Try taking off your bra so that your friend understands what a funny joke this is.”

    3. Yumi

      My “maybe actually” guess is that Dorothy was in range of her room’s WiFi enough that her phone was trying to automatically connect but not enough to be consistently able to send pictures

    4. GholaHalleck

      Amber made it a TIF file by mistake, and it’s too large of a file to be sent through the message system.

      1. Michael Steamweed

        Or a giant RAW (or RIFT) file. But would Amber make any of these rookie mistakes?

        1. Smallmoon

          If she did it specifically to keep Dorothy from actually sending it, it wasn’t a mistake.

        2. Michael Steamweed

          To _stop_ Dorothy from sending it? I thought Amber _wanted_ more shipping-based chaos and social mess.

    5. Mark

      She uses my carrier, which had some of my incoming Thanksgiving planning texts lost in Network Error land for several days.

  21. Armadillo

    Dorothy really needs to stop and take a minute to think about why she’s doing these things because there is literally nothing going on in her head right now with how much she’s avoiding introspection.

    1. Mark

      Yes, that would be good for her and fun.

    2. Regret

      I haven’t introspected in years. Wait…. maybe a decade.

      Anyway, my brain is broken now. Do not recommend.

  22. BarerMender

    Dorothy: I’m sorry, Walky, I’m with Joyce, now.
    Walky: Runs away, fingers in ears, screaming.

    1. Deanatay

      Walky: *briefly considers threesome with Joyce*

      …

      *shudders* NOPEItriedsorry

  23. darkoneko

    Nothkng to see here~

  24. bwooom

    Can’t wait for this to just be a small bug on Dorothy’s side of things and really she’s sent Joyce the same titty pic like 50 times.

    1. Icalasari

      PLEASE I NEED THIS

      1. Icalasari

        …Perfect Avatar

        1. Dara

          amazing

        2. Michael Steamweed

          I have seen no better, more appropriate gravatar for that comment.

    2. Mark

      I think she only pressed “Send” once. It failed for some reason, and she’s struggling with the decision to send or not to resend.

      That fist is suggesting to me that she’d better resolve the conflict soon.

  25. Suet

    Messages not being delivered: Chuckle-worthy today, harrowing in crucial times.

    What’s the point anyway of sending it, it’s not like this will be advanced further— Stop tempting us, poll, I know your ways!

  26. NGPZ

    go on Dorothy,

    send it “ironically”, as you earthlings seem so fond of doing XD >:D

    1. Michael Steamweed

      Ironic sapphic graphic
      Blitzed the network traffic

    2. Florence

      Hahahahahahaa??????

  27. SvenTS

    The Sext of Damocles

  28. Jeremiah

    Come on Dorothy, don’t be so desperate.

  29. Florence

    Ohhhhh this is even better

    Even if Dorothy doesn’t send the photo, she’s stuck considering the concept of it and perhaps even why she wants to

    The layers of drama bomb are so close

  30. Queezle

    Becky being also present when Dorothy sends Joyce the pic makes it so much funnier. Her sister, her boyfriend and her childhood friend, who had a crush on her, with her current girlfriend. This is the combination of people you want to be with when you receive your fist “sexy” pic-

  31. APersonAmI

    Mm. I did not want to see that picture. That picture was not meant for me, that picture was for Joyce. This feels vouyeristic.

    1. eh, whatever

      I mean, it’s just a bra being worn. We’ve all seen that.

    2. Wilde

      Joke right? We are literally watching all their intimate fictional lives and private conversations like omniscient fourth dimensional beings, so I would think this is a joke, but internet sarcasm is hard to read.

  32. Needfuldoer

    Commitment to the bit?

    Wait, does this mean Joyce just got a “lol” back after sending Dorothy her pictures? How will she interpret that, especially around both her sisters?

  33. Zamperla

    I appreciate the poll confirming that the majority of us are trash goblins who love messes because what the hell ELSE would we be getting out of this comic.

    1. Amelie Wikström

      I think the poll question is somewhat leading. . .

  34. Da Boy

    And then her finger slipped!

  35. thumb

    Looking at the number of hands, ready to complain about an error in continuity.
    This is how I find out I missed exactly one strip. At least I checked.

  36. Michael Steamweed

    Argh. The teasing. It burns us, precious!

  37. Jeremiah

    Who else is looking forward to when Dorothy finally figures it out a d we get a reenactment of her talk with Danny. I think he find it very funny.

  38. Florence

    There must be a Chappel Roan song for this situation

    good luck babe?

  39. Stephen Nedland

    For someone who claimed to be highly reluctant about taking pics of her boobs, she really wants Joyce to see them.

  40. Rabisch

    I think Dorothy should send the photo to Joyce again, she was finally making some progress. It’s weird that it wasn’t sent the first time.

  41. DJTsurugi

    Dotty you send that picture, you send that picture right now! ~<3

  42. Adept

    Poor Dotty.

  43. Amós Batista

    Have you tried turning off/on the wi-fi?

    1. NGPZ

      damn i feel that @-@

  44. Looney

    oh my god it’s happening

  45. Pseudowolf

    Of course, the longer she takes to send it, the longer it will be from the one she received from Joyce thus losing the context of why she’s sending it in the first place.

    1. Taffy

      Did Joyce lose the ability to scroll up?

      1. NGPZ

        as much as tech literacy among gen Z is apparently declining, i HIGHLY doubt Joyce is at a boomer level XD

  46. Felian

    it is actually a good photo!
    not all lewd pictures are good quality, it’s a skill like any other. i once found an entire blog that genuinely rated dick pics by aesthetic criteria. i can’t find it anymore tho :/

    1. Felian

      It was very kind, did not at all comment on dick size/shape etc, only was about whether the photo was aesthetic, and criticism was well earned if it was clearly a low effort shot.

      Maybe somebody knows?

      1. APuffin

        I haven’t seen it, but that sounds wonderful! I’d be interested in reading it, if you find it. Do you remember if it was on Blogger, Tumblr, or something else like a wordpress site?

        1. Felian

          i suppose it was probably tumblr?? i don’t understand why i can’t find it. maybe it was too explicit for google to find it again.

      2. Dday

        Create the art you want to see in this world.

  47. Rayne

    I’m just waiting to see any fellow butch gals enter the scene. ??

  48. anon

    is it normal for texts to go undelivered? i think i’ve only had an error when i accidentally double post but i use an app for some friends versus like direct texting/iphone

    And then she somehow sends it to someone diff

  49. Joyfulldreams

    This thing with Dorothy really does just keep getting gayer. It’s absolutely on purpose now.

    1. FlamestAndLight

      she just needs to resend . . . for the joke and not because i need my OT3 to keep progressing

  50. Darkseide

    ah, so no progress on this front.

  51. Dday

    Honestly, now I just want to see the top part of the pic. I know it’s not like we’re missing much, I just… Idunno I want to see the whole composition. Maybe Dotty’s face is cut off minus a nervous grin?
