    I like that song.

    1. beeftony

      That reminds me, I need to listen to it again sometime.

    2. Jabberwocky

      I prefer “How Great Is Our God.”

      1. Fluffy776

        That’s one of my favorites as well.

      2. darcos0

        I’d say one of my favorites is “Here is Our King.”

      3. Tenn

        Pardon this heathen, but I immediately imagined that “How Great Is Our God” has the same tune as the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love?” 😀

        1. G.G.

          Close enough… lol

        2. Andy4Hire

          As a Christian who’s never been a big fan of “How Great Is Our God,” Tenn, I find your suggestion hilarious and will undoubtedly think of the song that way from now on. Nicely done.

          But I’ve always liked the song they’re singing in the fourth panel.

        3. Lizardtongue

          My sister once re-lyricised a hymn not sure of the title, (the original version included the line “someday every tongue will admit you are god/ someday every knee will bow”) into something about cleaning up your house. In church.

          Man, I felt sure that I was gonna get struck down then and there for even considering such a thing.

        4. Cural

          That would be “Come, Now Is The Time To Worship.” I used to be in a choir that sang that song quite frequently. We also did various signs with our hands to go with the music for that song.

          Alan

        5. katzgoboom

          Oh my god I haven’t thought about church music in years. I didn’t even remember I knew that song until now.

        6. Etherius

          It’s a good song, but it’s also twenty-three years old.
          I wonder if perhaps this church is not quite as youth-aware
          and modern as they are advertising themselves to be.
          Nowadays they’d probably be singing something from Chris
          Tomlin or David Crowder Band.

        7. stikibunn

          My church discovered the traditional “official” Anglican hymnal. we totally sing that now because you can make anything sound awesome.

        8. Bill M.

          Not youth-aware? Depending upon the arrangement, this song can be very much up-tempo. Most Chris Tomlin and David Crowder Band* songs I’ve heard are much more of a “headed into prayer” feeling rather than a “let’s do something to raise our pulse that’s acceptable in public.” Besides, it’s past the Gaither generation of songs that most of their parents would’ve sung in the pews.

          Besides, this is a great song to get the little kids involved with worship because they have lots of actions to go along with the song.

        9. Sirchai

          XD nice!

      4. BlueMario

        I’ve always liked the News Boys, especially “Breakfast” and “Everywhere We Go”

        1. Your Alter Ego

          I prefer the Tim Tebow version of “my God is an awesome God”

        2. Commander Clash

          I LOVE Newsboys, thought my current favorite is the Song “Joy”

      5. zerotkatama

        I’ve always been a fan of “A Mighty Fortress” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic”

        1. Joseph Harner

          “This little light of mine” was my random childhood favorite.

        2. Oberon

          You mean this one?

  2. David Herbert

    Danny: Dude, I totally just banged a cheerleader.
    Dorothy: I was dragged to a church.
    Danny: Best day ever!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      No you GOT banged by an ex-cheerleader.

      1. David Herbert

        Even better.

      2. Aizat

        And your point is?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Just being facetious.

        2. Sir Robin

          Doesn’t matter, had sex

        3. Frost

          She let me wear my chain and my turtle neck sweater

        4. Michelle J Caboose

          With a(n ex-)cheerleader.

        5. Nalsheen

          Still counts!

        6. ProjectXa3

          LOVE the name, by the way. RvB ftw!

        7. Blob Marley

          Upvoted.

  3. David El

    Wish this happened to me in college.

    1. Dsurion

      YEAH. Television LIED TO ME! D=

      1. Aizat

        Yeah, I learned it the hard way when I was 7.

        1. RaijinK

          …you learned it’s not that easy to get laid in college when you were 7?

        2. RachelEvil

          Some people skip a few grades.

        3. Aizat

          No, I learned that television lied to me when I was 7. I learned that it’s not easy to get laid in college when I was 18.

        4. Zaratustra

          He-Man sword didn’t work for you either, did it.

        5. Aizat

          No, it’s finding out that your dad’s car couldn’t transform into a robot and the neighbor’s cat is not a spy.

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          It becomes true IF you take enough drugs. 😛

        7. Zuche

          It wasn’t? I guess the eighties were a different time.

      2. Spammy McSpamster

        Oh no, it DOES happen. I guess you were just on the other side of the statistics.

        Like Dorothy.

      3. RealityHitsYouHardBro

        I’m pretty sure it everybody gets the chance. It’s just that the people who have never experienced it simply didn’t put the right words together to make it happen. I knew I should’ve have said “Let’s go get a Big Mac.”

        1. TPman

          Your naivety astounds me. Unfortunately we are not all so lucky to have such an opportunity.

        2. Spammy McSpamster

          Billie made her opportunity.

        3. Fraser

          Sure we are, I know a girl who slept with hobo on a train. I also had a room mate who picked up without fail by bluntly asking every girl at a club and moving on immediately until he got a yes. All one night stands require is daring, an egregious lack of standards, and persistence. You, sir, have totally had an opportunity; you simply weren’t desperate enough at the time!

        4. Fraser

          I feel compelled to mention that I in no way endorse being desperate for sex. It’s just if the only criteria is sex and not with whom or what fall out may occur then you’re not really trying.

        5. TPman

          Everyone might get an “opportunity” if its defined that way, but what happened to Danny here was pretty $#%^ lucky. He didn’t really do anything it just fell into his lap (semi-figuratively) about 1 minute after meeting the girl. THAT is pretty rare indeed.

        6. katzgoboom

          Trust me, it’s not nearly as awesome as the media makes it out to be. The kind of people who regularly do the random hookup thing, I have found, are usually not the kind of people I want to have as a part of my life, much less in my vag.

        7. DarkVeghetta

          Pretty much same here, except switch ‘vag’ for ‘penis’. Alternatively with ‘on my FAAACE’.

        8. TheGrammarLegionary

          I really can’t imagine wanting anyone in my penis…

    2. TemplarKnight

      Yeah me too- oh wait, yeah I did have this happen once. My bad.

    3. Roborat

      It seemed to me that it was happening to everyone in college EXCEPT me. Then it finally did happen, but she was a girlfriend, not a random party hookup.

  4. Jen Aside

    Welp.

    Again.

    1. Zuche

      At the rate this litter’s growing, you’ll be able to reenact 101 Dalmatians.

      1. CWR

        Yuuup.

  5. Mkvenner

    Bravo willis bravo.

  6. Vivvav

    Oh man, this is the best scene change ever.

    1. Eposi

      yes

  7. Ben

    So are we shipping these two now?

    1. George

      Your avatar looks terrified of that prospect.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      The shipping has turned into ‘docking’. 😀

      1. Ben

        That’s no moon..

        1. NF

          I find you’re lack of faith disturbing.

        2. Heavensrun

          You find he is lack of faith disturbing? That doesn’t even make sense.

        3. ProjectXa3

          It was an exchange of cliched old Star Wars quotes.

        4. SlenderTroll

          It was a pointed criticism of NF’s use of the incorrect “your.”
          That said, trolling is a art and an science.

        5. TheBenenator

          I used to make “you’re/your” jokes, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

          Now I’m stuck doing callibrations.

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          The next person to use the arrow to the knee line gets a knee to the genitals. 😛

        7. Furie

          I used to get angry at pop culture references like you, but then I took a knee to the groin…

        8. LiamKav

          All you’re base are belong to us?

        9. Rex Hondo

          You kids don’t know how good you have it! Back in my day, we didn’t have internet memes. We had to quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

          And we were grateful!

        10. Tenn

          Quote? Luxury! We had to come up with our own jokes, and if we didn’t laugh, our dad would flog us until we came up with a better one. If we did laugh, he would flog us for enjoying ourselves!

        11. Zuche

          Monty Python quotes? “Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do…”

        12. Rex Hondo

          No! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

        13. Michelle J Caboose

          Aren’t you supposed to rip out their femurs?

          From their faaace!

          For a nickel.

          Etc.

        14. Roborat

          Didn’t you get the memo, we aren’t doing that one for a while. They told all the cool posters . . . . oh.

        15. MeHael

          Some may call the ‘arrow to the knee’ line junk.
          Me, I call it treasure.

        16. DarkVeghetta

          I see what you did thar.

        17. Crumplepunch

          I think that meme was officially dead at exactly the time Tim Buckley decided it was funny.

        18. Nalsheen

          Your welcome 🙂

          http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-849/

        19. Rex Hondo

          If you’re referring to Billie, shouldn’t that be plural?

        20. Justin

          Cheerleader(s)?

        21. Rex Hondo

          Probably hard to tell since the post I was replying to isn’t even on the same page any more, but I was saying a more appropriate version of a SW quote would be “Those are no moons…”

      2. Aizat

        Is it “symmetrical docking”?

        1. Chupi

          That would require Sal to join in.

    3. Doctor_Who

      Does it count as shipping if the characters in question are actually doing it?

      I thought that the entire point was “Wouldn’t it be cool if these characters hooked up?”

      Know who I ship? Fred and Wilma Flintstone. I have all this fanfic where they end up together. Just a little wish fulfillment.

      1. addude

        Shipping can be canon or not canon. Plus you don’t know if they’re going to end up together or just knock boots.

    4. waytoomanyusernames

      Who? Dorothy/Sierra?

  8. ViralBiae

    From fanservice to worship in a single panel. Impressive.

    1. Zepher Dossier

      I guess they all see god in their own way.

  9. Wonder Wig

    That’s why I never go to church. Who knows what I’m missing out on if I just stay at home!

    1. gangler

      Awkwardly being asked to make yourself scarce while your roommate has sex?

      1. Kalan

        “Awkwardly” would have been an improvement. “Asked” would have been an improvement.

        1. Despite Rage

          Yep, “forcibly ejected” is pretty much the norm.

          Remember a jentleman asks the girl to carry the feet, so he has to carry the heavier end of the roommate.

        2. Professor Zoot

          “Forcibly ejected” is better than “awakened by fierce rocking from lower bunk” . . .

        3. gangler

          Which is still better than waking up the next day to find your name in the ending credits of a porno.

  10. Ridureyu

    Now that song is running through my head.

  11. Inara

    This may even be a step up from “Oh Sweet Mystery of Life”…

  12. Sporkaganza

    This is pretty much the best juxtaposition I’ve ever seen.

  13. Ellie

    Oh god I remember that song from childhood.
    And now it’s stuck in my head. :/

  14. Gadalia

    I sang the song in my head when I read that…

    SOMEBODY HELP ME

    Also, more Billie and Danny? I was sorta hoping it wouldn’t happen. Oh well.

    1. TheCerpent

      I dunno. I have a feeling this is a fling, and not a solid relationship. If previous history is anything to go off of, Danny may make sure of that.

      1. Eposi

        yes, David is good at false leads and dooming relationships, but he is also good at proving fans wrong.

        also is your gravatar Freedan from Illusion of Gia. I hope I spell those right, been years since I played the game

      2. Gadalia

        Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, too.

  15. Ragnal

    Yeah…I feel out of the loop on the joke. Why? I wish I knew.

    1. a99steaksauce

      What joke?

      1. Ragnal

        Dorothy’s line.

        1. Facescar

          At first I thought “Where exactly should my eye contact be going” was a joke about the song lyrics.

          Just realized it’s that Danny’s thinking the exact same thing.

    2. Lizardtongue

      She’s a bit awkward about the whole “existence of God” thing.

  16. Tunasammich

    I was listening to this while reading this comic, and you know, it fit
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2uYs0gJD-LE#!

  17. Henry

    Somewhere, Joe is grinning ear to ear, and he has no idea why.

    1. alex

      strange i pictured something more like;
      ლ°□°)ლ”GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!”
      ‘°_°) “…why did i just do that?”

      1. Henry

        You win.

    2. Tobias

      I’m wondering where Joe is at this point, probability on route back to his room after some Saturday night Joeing . If that is right, does he walk in prior, during or post business?

      I hope it isn’t prior for his sake because I don’t think he will get over the guilt of cockblocking Danny so heinously. Mind you the state Billie is in at this point I’m not sure that would stop her.

      I think only Danny could do that now. Will he? Tune in tomorrow!!!

  18. fellixe

    Billie will control the vertical, now get horizontal!

    1. MeHael

      And Danny will expand that image to crystal clarity and beyond.

  19. Bishop

    Sweet.

  20. Pickle Jello

    I totally thought they were watching Billie and Danny at first. Then I remembered the whole church thing.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I would rather keep on thinking that Joyce and the gang are watching Billie and Danny ‘getting it on’ on the big screen at church.

      1. Michelle J Caboose

        The “eye contact” line kind’a helps with that, doesn’t it? ^_^

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Absolutely! It also makes you wonder what type of church secretly films two teenagers having sex live showing it to their parishioners.

        2. Cheredarenee

          the best church on campus, of course!

        3. CWR

          Did ya notice that every character in the last panel is looking in a different direction? I thought that meant it was a very overproduced service with too much in the way of distracting visuals…

    2. Roborat

      That was my first impression too, then I realized it was a scene change.

  21. jaredstar1

    Joe: Bow Chicka Wow Wow

    That said this can only end badly (the billy and danny thing )

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Or just very prematurely, if you know what I mean.

      1. Rex Hondo

        If this is his first time, it very well may have ended for him already…

        1. Rokk

          It isn’t. He’s admitted sleeping with at least one ex to Amber, and Dorothy has pretty much admitted to not being a virgin after ‘PRE-MARITAL HANKY PANKY!’

          But it might have been some time.

          J/S

        2. Rex Hondo

          Whoopsie. Perusing the archives, I see it was Walky I was thinking about…

  22. The Sound Defense

    So… Billie’s totally sleeping with somebody she just met because he massaged her ego for ten seconds…

    1. Sporkaganza

      Now you truly understand Billie

      1. The Sound Defense

        Where can I find this woman

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          In comics usually.

        2. a99steaksauce

          Or in your sleep when your lonely at night and need to dream of a companion that can temporarily fulfill your search for selfworth.

        3. G.G.

          Am I the only one who finds this common on my campus?

        4. Michelle J Caboose

          Actually, I’ve known a few.

          Not “known” in the Biblical sense… And no, I don’t have any pictures. Or video. Definitely no video.

        5. AckAckAck(Now with sugar powered speedster!)

          Only when your luck points are high enough.

        6. Cheredarenee

          surprizingly enough there are lots of them. the key is separating the ones who are just looking for any excuse to get laid from the ones who just have self-esteem issues…

        7. R

          Some place you find crazy ex’s and other poor life choices. Finding a girl who’s just looking for something casual takes more work, but there’s less crazy involved.

    2. Tenn

      Well, in her defense, Danny’s the first one to massage her ego since they started college.

      A week ago.

      That didn’t really help her case, did it?

      1. Roborat

        And now he will get to massage her boobies.

  23. Lord Synick XXIII

    The next three weeks will just be Billie and Danny doing it…

    1. Lord Synick XXIII

      …And I’m Joe. Well.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Don’t you love it when comments and gravs come together?

  24. Michael

    I’m really liking all the different title artwork that’s been going on.

    1. ParkRNDL

      yeah, i noticed that too. good stuff.

  25. Khantalas

    …goddammit Billie. You are very insistent on ruining all my pet ships, aren’t you?

  26. Joebo

    For the love of God, don’t forget the condom.

    1. Joebo

      Joe’s hand appears out of a mystic portal and hands Danny the object in question. Either that or Roz’s hand.

    2. Waffle Master

      I recall her receiving a substantial amount of them.

    3. Eposi

      well Danny did get that signed one, but using it will destroy the collectors value

      1. lordphulish

        You mean removing it from the box?

        1. Revil Fox

          I see what you did there…

        2. CWR

          Well get out of the way so I can see too…

  27. Walter

    That the banner add I got under the strip was a site for finding asian women to date was probably a coincidence, right?

    1. Michael

      Mine is telling me not to smoke, so I’m going to say no. Willis is trying to get his entire audience laid.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Mine is telling me that it is the “EASIEST JOB EVER” and it only takes 10 seconds.

        Now that sounds like foreshadowing.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          The Ad In Question

        2. Shaku

          “Enter to win.”

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          I wonder what the prize is.

        4. Rex Hondo

          A free spin of the “Wheel of STD’s.”

    2. AckAckAck(Now with sugar powered speedster!)

      The truth is we are being spied by all social media services. Even Google do that. So we will receive specific ads related with our search query.

      1. Confusador

        I don’t know what I’ve been searching for then*, but my ad is for SIN. I can’t imagine anything more appropriate.

        * I lie, clearly I’ve been searching for webcomics. No surprise there.

    3. MeHael

      My add is for pizza. This would work much better with a Walky avatar.

  28. Confuzor

    Mary looks kinda horrified there. Afraid Billie’s gonna beat her out for “most naked on “camera”?

    1. milk experiment

      I misread your comment… “What on Earth gave you the notion that Mary was going to… oh beat her out. Never mind.”

      Also, that Tumblr link is going to get so many clicks. So many hilariously disappointed clicks. 😀

      1. madock345

        who’s disapointed? danny sexy.

      2. Pat

        Yeah, I was hoping for the second panel. But I expected the third, and so I was not at all disappointed, really.

  29. Alexx

    Well, like Danny said in the previous strip: Nothing but business from now on.

    1. Drunken Nordmann

      And I’m pondering if there is one business-related pun I didn’t already use.

      1. Drunken Nordmann

        Well, there seems to be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NF4YMhIPg

        – but I don’t think it’s very fitting.

    2. Jetstream

      She’s giving him the business all right.

    3. Wack'd

      Work it, work work work work it!

      Idle hands are the devil’s playthings…

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7h5lwYi-wg

  30. Aizat

    Aren’t we going a little to fast here, Billie?

    1. fellixe

      Considering how hot Billie’s acting I’m guessing they’re good to go as fast as they like without risk of chafing.

    2. Zuche

      I think the fast is part of the problem. Billy is positively starving for this kind of attention right now. With a proper education, she may eventually learn how to seek out more nutritious fare, rather than the nearest available twinkie.

      1. Michelle J Caboose

        Twinkie?

        GASP! Danny’s gay?!?

        (shipping Danny/Ethan now)

        1. Gundi

          That is the best crack pairing ever. Also, I’ve noticed that your gravatar has made so many of your comments extra hilarious.

        2. Rex Hondo

          Wha? She’s been making comments?

          Well I’ll be damned. There are actually words that go along with the boobie avatar.

  31. MontyPla

    Once again, woooooooooo go Danny.

    Particularly enjoying panel 3…

  32. Mkoll

    WELP

    1. meanderling

      Only response possible.

      1. Aizat

        How about “YES! YES!”?

        1. SlenderTroll

          Or, “YES! YES!?”

  33. Nexev

    HOLY SHIT

    SIERRA IS RIGHT

    YOU TOTALLY CANT SEE HER NAVEL

    1. Aizat

      Hey, a brick joke.

    2. Rex Hondo

      What, Sierra’s in this strip?

    3. Kernanator

      Haha, you win for noticing that.

    4. Michelle J Caboose

      Wait — so the redheaded guy in the last panel is a doctor? I suppose his last name is Pepper?

  34. Aizat

    I was just kidding about the “business” part last week, I didn’t know that it would happen.

  35. Aizat

    Is there a word for getting pranked on the Internet?

    1. Michelle J Caboose

      Rick-rolled
      Trolled

      Possibly some others I’m forgetting right now — but I just got home from work, and I’m exhausted. Retail sucks.

  36. Aizat

    Please tell me there’s no camera recording this.

    1. Michelle J Caboose

      Please tell me there is one.

      Oh, wait, that’s Billie… Not Ethan.

  37. meanderling

    GET SOME, DANNY.

    Also, the last scene was made so much more mildly mindblowing by the fact that agnostic me remembers the tune and lyrics of that song almost perfectly from my church camp childhood.

    It’s stuck in my head now, thanks.

    1. meanderling

      Also, your wife was totally right, those hipbone/muscle lines really do make Danny +100 hotter.

      1. David

        SUCCESS

        1. andrew

          And as always his icon lines up perfectly with his message XD

        2. Pagannerd

          Your wife teaches you how to draw hot dudes?

          You have the BEST wife.

  38. Chuck

    Danny’d better remember to use one of Joe’s condoms…

    1. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

      4 months later, heeeerrrreeee comes ‘Good Ol’ Deej’! Complete with Action Fetal Alcohol Syndrome!

      ………………God, that was DARK, wasn’t it?……

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Not by internet standards.

      2. a99steaksauce

        Thats only the tip of the iceberg

        1. Michelle J Caboose

          You mean he–

          Wait… Not gonna make that joke. This isn’t 4chan.

    2. mechaqua

      Well Billie could be on birth control of course Joyce or someone else could pull a Robin and mistake her birth control pills for mints.

  39. NCP19

    Wow, that was a bit faster than I expected. (Which perhaps is what she will say soon?)

  40. Josh

    right now Joe and Dorothy are probably going to feel a strange disturbance in the force.

    1. Henry

      UH OH BILLIE!

    2. Aizat

      Why would Dotty be feeling a strange disturbance in the Force? Joe, I can understand but Dotty?

  41. Animaniac

    Best part, recorder is still on

    1. Aizat

      Oh dear. Let’s just hope someone didn’t play the recording at a later time.

    2. Jetstream

      Oh my GOD I hope so! Hijinks!

      1. G.G.

        It just means a character won’t ruin the moment. That or they will promise not to tell then someone gets the recording.

        GDI! I hate not being able to predict what happens next. >_<

  42. Henry

    So is it weird that I have never once heard the song referenced here?

    1. a99steaksauce

      nope

  43. Rex Hondo

    And now we find out what kind of guy Danny really is. Does he just say “Yay sex!” and let it ride, or does he try to slow things down and find out just what is actually going on here?

    1. Aizat

      A normal guy would do the former but there are rare cases where a guy would do the latter.

      1. Gundi

        I think it depends on how much time he is given to think about it. With a little thought, I think most guys would at least question the situation and try to figure out *why* a random woman was suddenly going to sleep with them. Considering that they are moments away from ‘hanky panky’ though, I kind of doubt it.

        1. iSaidCandleja-

          Meeting a stranger at party is different from one showing up at your door one morning. I would hope that most guys would, while struggling to find a condom, have enough time to notice who awkward the situation is. And sex should never start out awkward.

        2. Gundi

          From my experience, as long as it doesn’t end awkwardly it’s fine. Also, Joyce gravatar is the best gravatar for comments like these!

        3. Rex Hondo

          Just always remember, it’s good and even healthy to laugh in the bedroom, just so long as you’re not pointing while you’re doing it.

  44. LiC

    I seem to recall there was something about a masked vigilante that she was supposed to be investigating… Oh well! Sexy times!

    And as Dorothy stares up at the ceiling wondering where to look, I can help but remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is staring up praying to god and Marge walks in saying “Homer that’s not God. That’s a waffle that Bart threw up there.”

    1. Lumino

      Mmmm, Sacralicious.

  45. Plasma Mongoose

    I must say this: I LOVE Billie’s interviewing technique. 😀

    1. Aizat

      You’re right. All reporter/interviewer should do this.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        The good-looking ones YES, someone like Rush Limbaug, NOOOOOOO!

        1. Rex Hondo

          Speak into the “microphone,” please.

      2. Zuche

        As much as I like the Lois and Clark dynamic, I’d prefer they keep that sort of thing outside of their professional relationship, thank you.

        Now if it’s a healthy part of their private fantasies, great!

  46. NF

    I was wondering how Willis would follow-up Friday’s comic…did not see this coming.

    1. Zuche

      That’s because he’s cut away before the critical moment.

      1. Michelle J Caboose

        Bow-chicka-bow-wow!

  47. Edd

    Better than sleeping on the floor I guess.

    http://www.itswalky.com/d/19990523.html

  48. AckAckAck(Now with sugar powered speedster!)

    Danny is going to get a faceful of whaawhaa and he still asking? just prepare your engine mmm’kay Danny.

  49. SalmonLeap

    Well, this was a good way to dispel the post-Superbowl-loss blues. It helps that Billie is, in my opinion, the hottest character and for her to get laid first makes sense.

    I’ll echo the despair from other posters that college isn’t really like this

    1. David

      Somewhere Joe and Roz are crying.

      1. Gundi

        Somwhere else Sal… is indifferent.

      2. Zuche

        “But Mudville hearts are happy now–“

  50. mageykun

    Does the cut to random happy singing away from the hanky panky remind anyone else of girly?

    1. TheBenenator

      It does now.

    2. Pat

      It did not, but perhaps it should have.

  51. shoeboxjeddy

    Ha ha, tumblr troll is successful.

  52. OneBeardToRuleThemAll

    Socially Awkward Awesome Peng- I mean Danny: Bad flirting attempt, still gets hanky panky

  53. Noel Schornhorst

    mmm… shirtless Danny…

  54. Blob Marley

    FANSERVICE!!!

  55. Ancestral Hamster

    Score, Danny, score!

    And to answer Dorothy’s question: Sal’s bosom. ;D

  56. McGruff the Crime Dog

    It’s funny because Billie’s really easy.

    1. Aizat

      On the eyes or on the bed?

      1. McGruff the Crime Dog

        The way paris hilton is.

        1. McGruff the Crime Dog

          But on the eyes too.

      2. Aizat

        Or like a Sunday morning?

        1. McGruff the Crime Dog

          Sunday mornings are lazy, not easy.
          Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon.
          Call Parnell just to see how he’s doin’.

        2. Rex Hondo

          According to Lionel Ritchie, however, Sunday morning is, indeed, easy.

        3. Michelle J Caboose

          Broken link is, sadly, broken. :'(

        4. Zuche

          Well, your blender will be able to play it for you soon enough.

        5. Michelle J Caboose

          As a parody of all the sites that tried to tell me which browser I should use to view the site, I put this on my old website:
          “Best viewed on a computer. You can try viewing it on your stereo, but
          don’t come crying to me if it’s blurry or whatever.”

        6. Aizat

          And Spongebob. Didn’t help that he just ate a foul Sundae.

        7. Cheredarenee

          WIN!!!

    2. Pat

      I’d say “and so is Danny” here, but I guess it’s different since he was actually trying to accomplish this…

      1. Pat

        And I was wrong. Well done sir!

  57. f.p.

    I would just like to take the opportunity to point out that I totally called Danny being the bottom two strips ago.

    1. Joebo

      I would just like to point out that a blind incontinent dog could have called that.

  58. begbert2

    I guess I was raised different – that noisy rambunctious church service looks appalling by all religious standards I’m familiar with. Even accounting for her religious proclivities, I find it almost incomprehensible that Joyce, or anyone seriously religious, could be enjoying it.

    Somewhat shockingly, this reaction is more powerful than my personal atheistic reaction – though have no doubt, that part of me finds noisy church services repellent as well. Taken those two reactions together, that last panel is almost painful to look at. Yikes.

    1. Drunken Nordmann

      A few years ago when I’ve had my confirmation (now I’m agnostic), we had a choir singing “Groß ist unser Gott” accompanied by a keyboarder, a guitarist and me on the drums.

      Our version was more “tame” than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa3Nmeh-2Is

      And one says Roman Catholics don’t know how to have fun.

      1. McGruff the Crime Dog

        I can’t imagine how you can be “tamer” than this. Maybe if you’re comatose.

        1. Drunken Nordmann

          Easy – we didn’t use an electric guitar.

        2. McGruff the Crime Dog

          Also I don’t think someone was doubting Catholic priests’ ability
          to have fun ifuknowwhatimean. Heyoooo.

        3. Michelle J Caboose

          I’m sure pedobear knowswhatyoumean.

    2. Z

      Atheistic objections aside a lot of Protestant churches with younger audiences, especially all younger like at a youth camp or college campus, have concert esque music sections. The idea is that it’s great to be upbeat passionate and, well, have fun worshiping God. “Make a joyful noise” and all that.

      1. McGruff the Crime Dog

        I can’t believe such a thing as a college campus church exists.

        1. Z

          Ever hear of Jesuit Univsities? (For a start)

        2. McGruff the Crime Dog

          Well I can’t actually imagine higher education and obsessive religion going together in general.

        3. Z

          Well…

          1) Attending church does not necissarily = “obsessive religion.”

          2) Attending a modern college does not necissarily = getting, or even being interested in “higher education.” And

          3) Being educated and intellectual does not necissarily = being non-spiritual or irreligious.

        4. McGruff the Crime Dog

          In my mind going to church every week in a certain
          day and hour, listening to some guy lecture you about lifestyle and singing songs about Jesus and whatnot is crazy religious.

        5. begbert2

          I’m curious how you define “normally religious”, and where you find these people.

        6. Gundi

          Yeah. Going to church is kind of the bare minimum standard most people use to determine whether someone is religious. (Although, not going to comment on whether or not that’s a good way to judge how religious someone actually is.)

          I, for one, go to the agnostic church, otherwise known as “The Church of Fluffy Pillows and a Comfortable Matress.)

        7. Zuche

          If that’s your mind, you may need to step out of it more regularly. 😉

        8. jaredstar1

          not sure how long its been since you have been in a service (if ever)
          But not all services are like that

        9. McGruff the Crime Dog

          I have never been in a service as far as I know(if getting baptized doesn’t count). I think Eastern Christianity only has them on holidays. Also I’m not religious(like most people around). But in Eastern Christianity going to church is usually limited to: go in, light a candle, look at icons, leave. It’s very well separated from politics and everyday life in general which I think is pretty good. Going to church is still not unpleasant though because they are usually very old and beautiful buildings. And btw my country is absolute shit(which has absolutely nothing to do with religion). That’s why it seems weird that the most powerful and scary country in the world can’t(or doesn’t want to) keep it’s shizzle separated. “Normally religious” in the western world to me may be way closer to Billy than to Joyce as Billie acknowledges she believes in something, but it doesn’t matter enough to her to try to save face in front of it every Sunday. She is still kinda odd because she thinks it’s weird than someone might not be religious at all.
          Also if you are creationist as in “4000 years ago Adam and Eve and so on” you ARE crazy religious. Deal with it.

        10. jaredstar1

          agreed, My little brother works at a campus based church (ball state

    3. Tom T.

      Rambunctious? They’re just singing a hymn.

      1. begbert2

        In the lands from whence I come, hymns are sung sitting down. Also none of this clapping business; if any part of you is moving except your mouth, you’re doing it wrong. (Though certain exceptions are made if your little kids are trying to make a run for it.)

        Basically the group tries to imitate an old-fashioned choir.

        1. Michelle J Caboose

          Really? In the Lutheran and Baptist churches I attended as a child, all the singing was done standing (like an old-fashioned choir).

        2. Rex Hondo

          Sitting? Anybody knows you can’t breathe appropriately for singing unless you’re standing.

    4. Jetstream

      Speaking as a former catholic, bollocks the somber services. Bring on the noise!

  59. Kernanator

    Wow, Doctor_Who’s guess about Danny thinking Billie is a “I’m sorry” hooker from Dorothy seems to be more and more likely.

    Also, that is the most fantastic scene cut ever.

  60. Naz

    oh geez..all those memories of summer camp songs flooding back. Anyone remember “I am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N” ? or whatever that song was called.

    1. TsunamiJane

      Yessssss!!!!!!!

      1. TsunamiJane

        Aaaaaaand now it’s in my head.

  61. Waldo

    This makes me want to make Billie’s chest my avatar

    1. Fauxlosopher

      Why haven’t you yet?

    2. Zuche

      Worst. Pick-up line. Ever.

    3. Michelle J Caboose

      Go for it!

  62. Tualha

    Hmm, well that’s certainly a happier scene than the one in a similar Babylon 5 episode 🙂

    1. Zuche

      It is? I found, “And the Rock Cried Out, ‘No Hiding Place'” to be wonderfully cathartic.

    2. Cybersnark

      I dunno. The Narns seemed pretty happy.

      “The face should remain intact, for identification purposes. . .”

      1. Tualha

        Mmm, I’d have to put sex, however casual, ahead of murder, however deserved.

  63. Richie9999

    Oh Willis you tricky bastard.

  64. elcollin

    So I’ve never heard that song, but in my mind it went to this tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RSh_mhN3Ts

  65. TsunamiJane

    Mary looks terrified. I can’t figure out why.

    1. begbert2

      Maybe she’s used to the type of church which focuses on reverent silence and quietly listening to sedate speakers.

      Or maybe she’s just in the middle of taking a breath or something. Who knows?

  66. Merrick

    How does Danny know he’s not gonna end up a dad or, like, dickless?

    1. begbert2

      He’s already departed from the possible and thus is in a fantasy world. You don’t worry about such things while dreaming.

      1. Rex Hondo

        Danny has gone attained the possimpible!

  67. AJBulldis

    And here I thought crazy insecure complements would drive girls away. Oh well.

  68. G.G.

    It’s moments like this where I am appreciate that you update daily.

    1. BriGuy

      Me too! I’m looking forward to a week of wacky church hijinks!

  69. Animal

    Sexually aggressive women are awesome.

  70. Animal

    Also, panel 3, limited print, seriously.

  71. Snotful

    WHAT.

  72. Thomas

    Jeez, Billie. Too quick.

    Is she trying to “fix” Danny so he won’t be shy around cheerleaders anymore? Does she need this to regain her self-confidence? Makes me think of the bit between Di and Baxter on “Fans!”

    1. Michelle J Caboose

      Well, for the past week, no one has cared that she used to be a cheerleader. Plus, it’s been at least… DAYS since she got some.

      She’s an ex-cheerleader; she has NEEDS.

      1. Aizat

        Like getting on top of a horizontal guy.

        1. Drunken Nordmann

          Well, Billie certainly knows how to get on top of business.

    2. Jetstream

      I think she just wants a good pipe cleaning, pal.

  73. Reboot

    So, where did Joyce get her mystic healing powers from, for her wound to have gone already?

    1. MeHael

      The faith healing must have been earlier in the church service.

  74. Zuche

    I am not familiar with that hymn, so I keep hearing Leonard Cohen singing “Hallelujah” instead.

    1. Animal

      That’s what Danny is hearing in Panel 3.

      1. Zuche

        Heh. Animal, may your days be filled with the sound of joyful women.

        And if Joy isn’t your middle name, I recommend you change it accordingly. 😉

        1. Animal

          Well, for the past 20+ years I’ve been pretty much devoted to making Mrs. Animal joyful, but that’s going pretty well.

  75. Yoda123

    Wot the heck… simultaneous religious experiences!

  76. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

    Having clicked that link in anticipation of half-asian girl hotness… I find myself epically trolled. Well-played, Mr. Willis. XD

  77. Erinaceus

    Hmm… I never thought I would turn into a shipper, but I still hope for Danny/Sal…

  78. mechaqua

    Hope no one pulls a robin and replaced Billies birth control pills with mints or was it tic tacs or Danny remembers to wear a condom otherwise the results will closley resemble another event in the walkyverse though in this situation involves two freshman college students who for the most part unemployed. I only bring this up beacuse this is happening very quicIiikly and, hormone crazed teenagers sometimes forget to think.

    Also this was written on my touch screen phone please excuse the spelling and grammarits hard as hell to write more then 2 senteces on this thing.

  79. Mr. Morningstar

    WELL THAT WAS FAST.

    Also sex while church is happening. This must be a sign. Sex is now a Religion.

    1. Animal

      It always was.

    2. Arkadi

      Always.

    3. Rex Hondo

      When you do it right, absolutely!

  80. Rayrayrave

    Oh G-d, “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High.” I know that song by heart.

  81. Blob Marley

    Wait… have we even seen Joe leave the room? He could still be asleep in there.

    Oh god, Joe’s going to watch.

    1. Michelle J Caboose

      Heck, he might even still have the video camera! ^_^

      1. Blob Marley

        Your Gravatar is immensely distracting.

  82. Kryss LaBryn

    Hahaha! Oh, I see! I missed Friday’s strip. Hee! I THOUGHT that was pretty swift to go from “Hi I’m here to interview you” to “Get naked. Now.” XD

    –Oh no wait it still is, isn’t it? Oh, Billie. XD

    Also, I just typed that as “Billy” and realized there’s all sorts of room for hilarious misunderstandings when Danny says he had sex with “Billy” and someone who doesn’t know Billie gets the wrong idea. “OMG, Danny! College is for trying new things but GAY SEX?! *Gasp*” XD

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      That type of misunderstanding could happen, but as names like Terry/Sam/Alex/Billie are known to be also girl’s names, it’s pretty unlikely.

      If Billie’s name was Willie instead, then the hilarious misunderstandings might have very well happen.

  83. begbert2

    Oh, and Dorothy? Look for the invisible man, there in the ceiling. He’s what you’re supposed to be singing at.

    1. DagonXIII

      He’s only invisible when no-one is looking at him.

  84. Plasma Mongoose

    I see Billie gaining a Tummy Toad in the near future.

    1. Drunken Nordmann

      Sounds like “Married… with children” for me – except Danny isn’t a jock and doesn’t seem to own a car – and he would be more friendly to his kids than Al…

      Well, not so similar then.

  85. sarpiedon

    Nailing a hot half asian Cheerleader…Danny is doing the Lords work.

  86. HumanDoctor

    Okay, so am I the only one who actually doubts this is actually gonna happen?

    I mean, this is just begging for a Joe Interruption… A Joeturrption, if you will.

    1. Drunken Nordmann

      With his penis.

      Am I doing this right?

      1. Maycroft

        Totally! hahahahahaha!!!!!

    2. Rex Hondo

      Coitus Joeterruptus?

  87. Confused person

    Could someone explain the eye-contact thing?

  88. Scot

    If Dorothy wasn’t forgiven before, she sure as hell is now.

  89. Arkadi

    I’ve actually looked up that hymn on youtube so I can read this strip with the appropriate soundtrack ^^

  90. Katana

    I wonder if those two are going to have sex!

  91. jaredstar1

    one wonders if what joyce said way back in holes will come true

  92. Zoey

    I like the song about to be sung in the panel before. In fact time to rap my bf.

  93. Kai Gon

    > I know some of you are going to ask for part of this strip in a larger size, so here it is on Tumblr.

    Nobody did react to the tumblr note, really? Am I the only one thinking: “Well … I was hoping for a different panel to be enlarged…”?
    😉

  94. Wack'd

    Billie’s line in that first panel is her worldview in a nutshell.

  95. jashin13

    I knew there was a reason I read this.

  96. ninja_jesus

    GOD DAMN IT THAT SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES

    I remember singing it in church when I was Catholic.

    1. joeyo

      I was a Catholic too, and that song brings back annoying memories for me. I hated the damn rock songs that just repeated over an over at every ‘youth worship.’ I preferred the traditional hymns in Mass.

  97. Last for business

    Hey i’m curious is the song a “representation” of them doing it? Shes on top. So ( Cross to Grave ) [cross] high place {up} [grave] low place {down}. (Grave to sky) [grave] low place {down} [sky] high place up {up}. Then ( lift your name on high ) lift {obviously } High {up}
    I know its been like two years since this has been post so you probably wont reply but i’m just curious I’m a reading the “subtext” properly or am i just a perv reading to deeply.

    Pun not intended
