    Joyce 4 next on-campus superhero

    1. LJoL

      Just because she can tie knots incredibly quickly that alone does not make her a superhero.

      It will however eventually make her very popular if she ever applies that to cherry stems.

      1. Calvin Coolage

        Words cannot describe how well a Sarah Gavatar fits here.

        1. Smegma Hut

          I’d say “that Sarah gravatar fits really well here” works just fine.

      2. Zababcd

        It’s a great superhero power. She can be called… Knot Girl!.. Actually, that could be misleading.

        1. Drunken Nordmann

          And how!

        2. HiEv

          Oh, and you think the “X-Men” weren’t? 😉

        3. TCS

          Never thought of that one before. Mind: Blown.

        4. N0083rP00F

          Since she is a goodie goodie and all that – Knot Nice.

      3. ajm5007

        I dunno. Tying knots very quickly actually sounds like a pretty useful super power.

    2. Tunaro

      Amazi-Girl’s new sidekick: The Christianja!

      1. Mr. Random

        It’s the perfect disguise because everyone knows Joyce doesn’t care about religion!

        1. Allcool-dontcare

          What does the internet say about his sarcastic power level… its over 9000

    3. arank11

      I’ve got it all worked out: Joyce is The Christianja, Billie is The Beerleader, Walky is The Head Walker, Dorothy is Bookworm, Joe is Ladies Man, Danny is Mediocre Boy, Ethan is The Transformer, Mike is Nickelfist, Dina is The Dinasaur, Sarah is Antisocia, Amber is (You guessed it) Amazi-girl, and Sal is Sal because she thinks being a superhero is idiotic. Let me know if I forgot someone

      1. KevinGriffin3CD

        Jacob is the invisible man.

        Ha. Willis burn.

      2. bibulb

        Ruth.

        Also known as the Femurnator.

      3. miyto

        Faz is The Fez, ‘Your Mom’ is the Nickler (The Robin to Nickelfist’s Batman), Roz is the Lass Condamn!, Robin is the Legistlatress…

      4. paradoxius

        Can the next universe reboot just be all these characters as superheroes?

        1. Badeyes

          I’d buy that for a dime

        2. The Steve

          Wow! That’s the same value as two moms!

        3. Flipz

          How is that really that different from the original Walkyverse? 😛

        4. Thasvaddef

          But the last universe was that.

      5. NaughtbutaHoax

        I wish to put forth the suggestion that Walky be called Point Man.
        For reasons accessible three pages back.

  2. Mr. Random

    She travels at the speed of prayer.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Can leap to crazy conclusions in a single bound…

      1. arank11

        Born from a freak lab accident trying to cross-breed the innocence of a baby and the mid-1800’s

      2. LJoL

        Plasma – I believe Random was making a christian / superspeed hero pun. A better response to that would be “Her ability to make crazy conclusions in a single bound is almost miraculous.” to keep with the heavenly hero theme.

        And then the next person could have made a pun about her willingness to go into dens of sin and inequity proving that she had the courage of a saint or making a joke about daring to go where even angels fear to tread…

        … whereupon some random person would have made a joke about the promised land, shortly followed by a Joe, Mike, or Walky -esque comment about it being between Dorothy’s legs.

        But you ruined all that and now it will never happen. For taking away that train of thought one can only respond with a hearty, “Boo!”

        1. Mr. Random

          *sniff* I love it when people go the extra mile.

        2. N0083rP00F

          miles – those newfangled heathen measures – it’s cubits or go home.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Never been accused of commiting threadacide before, MY BAD!

    2. Yotomoe

      That’s not that fast. Even the fastest prayer is enough time for me to get done with half of my mashed potatoes.

      1. Mr. Random

        You either eat very little mashed potatoes, or you eat them very quickly.

        1. Clif

          It’s a super-power.

  3. David Herbert

    Yeah, I can be like that too. I don’t like people seeing me undress for some reason.

    1. JessWitt

      Don’t worry. There are dozens of us out there.

      1. Rex Hondo

        And by “out there,” he means outside your window. Watching…

        1. Mr. Random

          It’s cold outside. Come in, I’ll make some room for you in the closet. You want some cookies?

        2. zach

          I really can’t stay – Baby it’s cold outside
          I’ve got to go away – Baby it’s cold outside
          This evening has been – Been hoping that you’d drop in
          So very nice – I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice

          My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what’s your hurry?
          Father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
          So really I’d better scurry – Beautiful, please don’t hurry
          Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some records on while I pour

          The neighbors might think – Baby, it’s bad out there
          Say, what’s in this drink? – No cabs to be had out there
          I wish I knew how – Your eyes are like starlight now
          To break this spell – I’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell

          I ought to say no, no, no – Mind if I move in closer?
          At least I’m gonna say that I tried – What’s the sense in hurting my pride?
          I really can’t stay – Baby don’t hold out
          Ah, but it’s cold outside

          I’ve got to get home – Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
          Say, lend me your coat – It’s up to your knees out there
          You’ve really been grand – Thrill when you touch my hair
          Why don’t you see – How can you do this thing to me?

          There’s bound to be talk tomorrow – Think of my life long sorrow
          At least there will be plenty implied – If you caught pneumonia and died
          I really can’t stay – Get over that hold out
          Ah, but it’s cold outside
          Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
          Oh, baby, it’s cold outside

        3. hof1991

          I prefer the Jill Phillips version. Less date rapey, more fun.

        4. hof1991

          http://youtu.be/6LbjTDDZC8Q

          Crap, shouldn’t write HTML this early.

        5. Opus the Poet

          Watching and taking notes to criticise your body on Internet fora and chat rooms. With pictures with circles and arrows and notes on the back.

        6. UnspeakableAnger

          27 8″ x 10″ glossy pictures, to be precise. 🙂

        7. Opus the Poet

          Ahh, you caught that.

        8. Kryss LaBryn

          Too bad it was a case of blind justice… 😛

      2. The Specter

        Just like the traffic light… “well would not you turn red as well, if it was you who had to change in front of all those people 😉

      3. Just Cheeto Dust

        At first, I felt bad that I wasn’t the first person to reference Arrested Development, JessWitt; but after reading the follow ups to your comment…not so much.

    2. Roomie

      I’d like to see you undress.

      1. WaveRocker

        😉

      2. Yotomoe

        I’d only like people to see me undress if I am in turn watching them undress.

        1. WaveRocker

          😉

          [I’m making your comment unawkward]

        2. Drunken Nordmann

          And now imagine a group of people standing in a circle and watching each other undress.

    3. Just Cheeto Dust

      You’re not alone. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

    4. Roborat

      That’s okay, I probably wouldn’t like seeing you undress either.

  4. Valerie

    No boobs for you, Sarah.

    1. Yotomoe

      She at least always has 2.

  5. shadowcell

    so the plot twist here is that Joyce was adopted and her real father is Ninja Rick, right?

    1. MM

      That, or she’s got a cousin who’s a doctor.

    2. Alden

      Only a true ninja can perform actions between panels.

  6. Wonder Wig

    Joyce really pulled the wool over her eyes.

    1. Jon P

      there we go. it’s over. comment section is done for the day.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      You have cotton on to these puns I see.

      1. WaveRocker

        She really wooled a fast one

        1. Mr. Random

          Oh, come on. Stop the puns and leather have her moment.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I endorse threads like this with every fibre of my being.

        3. Shadlyn Wolfe

          I really don’t cotton to threads like this. Seems fabricated.

        4. NaughtbutaHoax

          Keep your shirt on, the thread’s only just beginning. I’m sure someone will unravel a good one soon enough.

    3. Doctor_Who

      Man, this would work so much better if she’d done it with a sweatervest.

      I blame the comic for not living up to the comments.

  7. xain

    clever girl

    1. Mr. Random

      I wonder how many times you can use this as a comment and still have it be appropriate?

      1. The Steve

        I’m tempted to say an infinite number of times. It’s always appropriate.

        1. Mr. Random

          Doubly so, given their gravatar.

  8. Doctor_Who

    Tied it in a knot with lightning speed and everything. Was Joyce a Brownie as a little girl?

    1. KingMabel

      I don’t think she got to Daisy yet.

      Or is Daisy below Brownie?

      1. Doctor_Who

        Beats me, I’m a dude, we did Cub Scouts instead.

        I did Tiger, Bobcat, Wolf, and Bear. Then I quit because I was bored and who wants to be called Webelos.

        1. begbert2

          Webelos wobble but they don’t fall down!

        2. AJBulldis

          I made it halfway through Bear Scout myself. Then one week we just didn’t go, and I didn’t say anything about it, and we just never went again, and later I asked why we never went anymore and my Mom just said “if you wanted to go you should have said something”.

          Course I didn’t actually learn any useful outdoorsy stuff or ever go camping so it was kind of a waste of time.

      2. John

        It’s Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, from youngest to oldest.

        … What, I have nieces.

        Anyway, I bet Joyce’s parents wouldn’t let her be a Girl Scout. They let lesbians in, that’s promoting the gay agenda and stuff.

        1. Pwisva

          They added Ambassadors at the end, now – six ranks! When you get raised in this stuff, you REALLY get raised in this stuff.

        2. John

          Ah, my nieces haven’t gotten that far yet. The oldest one just leveled up to Cadette.

        3. Roborat

          I thought cougars was the oldest?

  9. SuperActionJackson

    Moving quickest is next to godliness!

  10. GoogerGeiger

    Peach! I KNEW it!

    Time to add a splash of canon to my fanfic.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I can see totally Dina as Bowser in this fanfic.

      1. GoogerGeiger

        Dina’s actually Wendy O. Koopa, but that is subject to change.

        1. Doctor_Who

          The Amber grav works perfect with writing Super Mario fanfic.

    2. David Willis

      I’m pretty sure like 95% of Joyce is peach.

      1. Yotomoe

        But now we know that she isn’t hiding Brown skin under all her clothes. Maybe she has a reverse tan.

        1. lejwocky

          Vitiligo?

        2. begbert2

          She’s got Brown skin all over her. Inherited it from her father.

        3. Roborat

          I see what you did there.

      2. Doctor_Who

        Sounds about right.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          All we need now is Daisy as Princess Daisy.

      3. Rabid Rabbit

        And the remaining 5% is vanilla?

        (Hey, don’t knock vanilla. Vanilla is delicious, and much less boring than vanilla sex implies.)

      4. Animal

        The remaining 5% is a really, really amusing birthmark that we probably won’t see until the special “Joyce Does a Sex” release.

        1. Mr K

          With who? Probably Dorothy.

        2. fudo81

          … in 2048, probably.

  11. newllend

    That must take some really fast reflex

    1. WaveRocker

      From years of finding Bible verses, I’m guessing

  12. Plasma Mongoose

    Joyce made the right choice, if Sarah saw Joyce’s chest puppies, she’s sure to turn lezzo on her, I know I would. ^_^

    1. KingMabel

      We all have that one, or seven fictional characters that we would go gay/straight for…

    2. Yotomoe

      Joyce is powerful, But Billie’s are still the ultimate trump card in the DOA boob card game.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        After all, if Joyce wants to hide inside them, they must be great.

      2. lightsabermario

        Where can I get this card game?! And does it have…expansion packs?

  13. JAD

    I like how you mix drama, character angst and light jokes and it’s all so convincing. Kudos, Willis.

    1. Oxyvolt

      He IS pretty much a master of his trade at this point.

      1. Drunken Nordmann

        Well, he had a lot of time to perfect it. 🙂

  14. pendrake

    Damn, she even got all her hair wrapped up inside. 😀

    1. WaveRocker

      I didn’t notice that at first!
      Dang, and her hair was like everywhere too

  15. Yotomoe

    Joyce doesn’t want Sarah to see her amazing Monkey Master Bra. It’d totally make her jealous.

    1. Calvin Coolage

      toplel

  16. Jay Eff

    Is that a Hamster on that poster over there?

    (Yes, Sarah’s in her underwear and I’m paying attention to the hamster..)

    1. Yotomoe

      I didn’t even notice that! I was too busy watching Joyce ninja her face.

      1. Jay Eff

        “Ninja her face?”

        That sounds dirty.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Still sounds better than a Dirty Sanchez.

        2. Drunken Nordmann

          Always thought that Dirty Sanchez sounds more like a racist insult.

    2. Opus the Poet

      And a MLP Pony right under it…

      1. John

        And Golgotha at the top. Yeah, that’s Joyce.

  17. Ahighfunctioningsociopath

    …in bed

  18. Calvin Coolage

    First Amber, now Joyce. Master Asia is planning on turning every girl at this college into a ninja in one way or another.

  19. Calvin Coolage

    First Amber, now Joyce. Master Asia is planning on turning every girl at this college into a martial artist in one way or another.

    1. Calvin Coolage

      OHGODDAMMIT! Didnt want that to happen.

      1. WaveRocker

        What’s done is done in the comment section.
        now everyone will see your failure an judge your commenting ability accordingly

        1. Calvin Coolage

          IREGRETNOTHING.gif

        2. Drunken Nordmann

          Titan Darwin is judging you.v

  20. Alex Stritar

    So, we are sure Joyce hasn’t been given superpowers in this universe, right?

    1. Mud

      I’m less sure now.

  21. Kernanator

    3×2(9YZ)4A

    So, Joyce Brown is revealed to be none other than Jesse Chambers!

  22. JAD

    Also I must say, you are all remarkably quick at commenting. All I saw was a ten-second old strip with 8 comments already blur and then there were like 14 when I had finished typing above.

    1. Yotomoe

      We all comment like how Joyce Gets dressed.

  23. nothri

    Joyce. Joyce. Joyce. It is not gonna be healthy living in the same room with someone for a semester and being too shy to change in front of them. Clearly the solution to this problem is not to wear any clothes in the dorm room so you stop being squeamish.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Is that why Mary spends so much time naked?

      1. John

        … but if you’re not dressed at 3 PM just once…

      2. nothri

        I’m happy to assume this is completely CANON until the story proves otherwise.

  24. poisin224

    I want to stay mad at Willis, but this new storyline is off to a good start. Dang it, Willis…!

  25. Idon'tcarenomore

    Now, that’s funny.

  26. Megatron

    Damn. We’re back to jokes. At least it’s not as bad as yesterday, where we got some sweet sentimental fleshling crap.

    I much prefer the comics where bad things happen to fleshlings and they are sad.

    That said, I like the potential I see in Joyce. She shows promise. Yes, when people ask ‘what are you going to do about it?’ The best response is to simply do whatever it is you are going to do. People need to learn discipline. They need to learn to take orders from their superiors. It is important to show others that you are superior to them.

    1. Rutee

      If it makes you feel any better, fleshlings are mortal, grow old, and die. All jokes are only an inherent delay to the ultimate punchline. Well, for a robot, anyway.

      1. Megatron

        Thanks, that really does make me feel better!

  27. Ikaru

    I love this page.

  28. The Specter

    Panel four, joyce’s expression… priceless.

  29. Badeyes

    Wow, 4 comics in a row without a ‘Damn you Willis!’ that’s gotta be some kinda record.

  30. CianM1301

    Joyce Brown! She sure can move!
    Joyce Brown! She’s got an attitude!

  31. Emoroffle

    I wonder if she can do that with her pants?

  32. Kathleen

    Does anyone care how fucked up that is for Sarah to breach her privacy like that? That’s really invasive. I understand mentioning that it’s okay to undress or whatever and that insisting she turn away is a little weird, but threatening to break her set boundary? Really not cool. What’s up Sarah? Are you feeling insulted that she wanted to dress you so you’re going on the defense? Too far.

    1. Rutee

      Uh, she was changing in the middle of their shared living space. Do you not care that her boundaries kinda interfere with the ‘shared’ aspect?

    2. begbert2

      I feel it’s a breach of my privacy to tell me what I can do in my bedroom. You want to change in exclusive privacy, go somewhere exclusively private.

      1. Heavensrun

        +1

    3. Mrimm

      Sarah isn’t forcing Joyce to change in front of her. “What happens if I don’t?” doesn’t mean “I refuse to turn around”.

  33. James Rye

    What if she wears no bra and thus doesn’t want to be seen?

  34. petamas

    I just love how much luckier we are than Sarah: http://itswalky.deviantart.com/art/Pin-up-Week-2-Joyce-412253639

    This picture is wrong, but I love it.

    1. petamas

      Oh my god, I’m Sarah. 😀

      1. Ocbrad1

        And with that, Sarah got lucky, too!

  35. Robert

    Joyce has got some Ninja skills. No wonder Amber is jealous of Joyce’s affections for Ethan.

  36. Mr K

    Joyce knows how to handle pervs!

  37. PunkyPuff

    Funniest part to me is I go to a Christian college and we really don’t care how little or much is worn in the dorm/room(as long as no guy is around) I can not tell you how many times I’ve seen a friend naked or in their undies. I’m sure there are a few girls who are more decrete, heck maybe my group is just way too open. Still funny.

  38. Cragalanch

    Joyce moves faster than Phosphora….. Cragalanch is in awe….

  39. FuryOfFirestorm

    Joyce knows that if Sarah sees in her bra, that makes them lesbians! At least that’s what her parents told her…

    1. Mr K

      She’s pretty obviously in the closet, if you ask me.
