Eh…no. I am certainly not a spambot. It’s just I went from a mental image of Yuri Paradise (Joyce x Amber) to imagining Joe in the middle in various states of undress. Not being a person who particularly wants to see Joe nude, you see where “no” came from.
Wellllllllll Joyce didn’t exactly fight going to the party. I think it would be fair to say she went there of her own free will. She thought it would be fun, and aside from Ryan, it was!
Hopefully she comes away from this thinking “Alright, be more careful next time, but I am still Queen of the Drunks!”
You mean, aside from: being drugged and nearly raped by someone she instinctively trusted, having to glass him in the face to protect herself… then facing the possibility of losing her freedom and all of her new friends, while half-drugged and thus totally unable to cope? And she’ll wake up not remembering half this stuff, freaking out about the memory loss and having to hear it from her friends.
Not only is this a full-on traumatic experience, it’s the first house party she ever went to, right? If she ever does go to a house party again, I imagine she’ll be so on her guard there’s no way she’ll open up so much. After all, even at this one, it was teaming up with Ryan that gave her the confidence to get people together and not just hang out in a corner.

I’m sure it would be harder for her. But at the same time, I’m sure that Billie and Dorothy would stick by her if they go to another party. Dorothy especially, considering today’s comic.
Considering that it’s Joyce we’re talking about, I think she’d be (at least to some extent) reassured that she was saved. She may be sheltered, but just based on how she acts, I very much doubt this will break her. She’ll stick closer to her friends, and she’ll be more careful, but hopefully we’ll still get to see that happy, social Joyce from the party.
I think you’re taking the wrong thing out of that statement. Sarah is in NO WAY claiming that it’s Joyce’s fault, that would be extremely bongoy. I’m pretty sure she’s blaming, you know, the attacker? The one who decided “Hey, cute chick, I’ll go drug her!”
She isn’t being modest, she is telling a lie that is most likely to stop people from asking further questions. The real truth was her outburst when she said this wasn’t Dorothy’s fault. She just doesn’t want people to know that she slipped up and tried to comfort somebody’s conscience.
Joraiem
Yeah, that’s my idea. Or she’s being sarcastic? That’s a possibility.
But panel 4 just felt a little too real to me, I dunno if anyone else thought so too.
But it’s ambiguous at best whether she means “You shouldn’t have listened to me in the car because I just liked telling you you were wrong” or “You shouldn’t have listened five seconds ago because I just like telliny you you’re wrong” or “you should take EVERYTHING I say with a grain of salt unless it’s ‘you’re right,’ and even then I might just be saying it so I can tell someone ELSE that THEY’RE wrong.”
I think it’s that she meant it both times. She’s angry at them for not watching her and encouraging her to go to the party, but she also realizes it’s not really their fault it happened. I don’t think she’s a pathological liar, only that she uses hyperbole… a lot.
Might just be a case of “it’s punchline time.” A humorous level of self-awareness appears to be a recurring theme for DoA punchlines, and it seems me that Sarah’s just admitting: “I like telling people they’re wrong. Sometimes I get a little carried away with it.”
Unless it turns out that Maggie is a lesbian and she has a preference for reverse traps.

Somewhat less sarcastically, Willis was apparently raised a fundamentalist Christian of possibly comparable levels of shelteredness and naivety to Joyce. Other similarities, like being the only human alive who can survive The Sound of Music, are unconfirmed. There is anecdotal evidence that he may be the same species as her too.
Those similarities aside, though, I rate the odds that he’s been roofied and nearly raped at…about the same as the odds that he’s really a woman.
I guess that warm fuzzy feeling we all got when she was telling the world to go f*** itself With an electric cattle prod passed a little quick didn’t it?
Actually, this makes me think she’s a lot nicer than she lets on. She made it seem like the only reason she came to help was so she could still have the “I told you so” privilege, but doesn’t it seem like she really means what she says in panel 4?

Yeah, it’s not like Joyce went there of her own free will. And she was totally asking to be drugged. You’re so right Sarah

Confuzor
Joyce’s first party night ends in her getting drugged, then her ass getting groped by her roommate & friends. Ahhh college…
ViralBiae
Seems like a Tuesday to me.
Confuzor
Joyce is taking baby steps ^_^
iSaidCandleja-
Indeed. For Joyce today was the most significant day of her whole life. But for Confuzor, it was Tuesday.
Fauxlosopher
I love you all for making that joke.
Asuka L.S.
We miss you, Lord Bison. God rest your soul.
Plasma Mongoose
and as Joyce is more or less autobiographical, it adds a disturbing reality subtext to these comics.
Historyman68
Wait… What?
begbert2
Didn’t you know? Willis is really a woman. (Maggie will be rather surprised when she finds out.)
Plasma Mongoose
Unless it turns out that Maggie is a lesbian and she has a preference for reverse traps.

I must be SUPERHUMAN then cos I have watched The Sound of Music at least a half dozen times in my life.

Y’know, I’m starting to get the feeling that Sarah isn’t very nice.

I also enjoy telling people that they’re wrong. I finally found a character I can relate to in this comic!
Originalslugboy
No you didn’t!
SeanNOLA
Is Joyce wearing leather pants? Her ass is so shiny!

Oh no, Willis just contracted Butts Disease from Jeph Jacques. So attention NEEDS to be drawn to the butts.
Especially Joyce’s butt.
