    Oh c’mon Billy. Joyce is not that bad.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Asking your ‘best friend’ to remove icky clumps of hair for them isn’t good, I can tell you now.

      1. Aizat

        Well, Billie could say no.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Yeah but still…

        2. b

          a best friend never asks another best friend to remove strange clumps of hair

        3. Aizat

          Then again, Joyce is kind of rushing in to this best friend business. Shouldn’t you have to be friends with the person for at least a month then you can call that person your best friend? Then again it could be just me.

        4. Daeva

          Well, I think she’s working off a one-sided perspective here. Billie’s one of the few people in college that she considers a friend, and as such, she would be about her ‘best’ college friend simply for lack of anyone else to fill the position. That and well, she reeeeeally doesn’t wanna touch that hair clump.

        5. Undrave

          You mean Joyce is the only person Billie can consider a friend :p her and Walky anyway.

        6. David Herbert

          What about Dorothy? Or does the atheism knock her off the top slot?

        7. Aizat

          Dorothy is an acquaintance, I guess.

        8. Plasma Mongoose

          Not just you, it’s only been a couple of days, too soon to call BBFs.

        9. Aizat

          Don’t you mean BFF’s? Or you meant Best Buxom Friends?

        10. Daeva

          Would that make them Bosom Buddies?

        11. Plasma Mongoose

          Literally in this case.

        12. 1Samildanach

          What Joyce says is: “We’re friends, right?” [no ‘best’ to be seen there] then “Would you say that *so far* I’m your best college friend?” [again, not even saying they’re _good_ friends, just that Joyce is the best Billie has at the moment]

        13. Aydr

          A best friend never asks a best friend, but who says that Joyce considers Billie HER best friend…?

        14. Kernanator

          As opposed to, what, asking a total stranger to do it?

      2. Sili

        Really? I thought girls helped eachother wax those hard to reach spots.

    2. Josh

      Yes. Yes she is. 😛

  2. Plasma Mongoose

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    1. Jen Aside

      “Well, it’s okay if you actually, literally can’t remove the hair. I was just asking.”

    2. Kernanator

      That’s not true! That’s impossible!

    3. Aizat

      DO NOT WANT!

  3. Crimson Magic

    Hilarious!

  4. Beefcube

    Billie’s gotta be getting close to passing Joe for the top banner, right?

    1. Skye

      Actually, it seems she has. With today’s comic, she’s at 67 while Joe is 66.

      1. Aizat

        Joe needs more love.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Joe needs more chances to ‘joe’ more.

        2. Aizat

          Yeah, what happened to the poor wingless wingman?

        3. Kernanator

          Not gonna say it this time….
          With his penis. Dammit.

    2. KZero

      Oh man that looks like some sort of Mega Man Chocobo! Nice.

      1. Beefcube

        Thanks! But wow. I made that image about seven years ago and I never noticed that I used the same colors. I’m almost ashamed, considering that Mega Man is probably my favorite video game series!

    3. Thor

      It’s only appropriate because Billie and Joyce are getting closer together in the comic as well.

  5. Tristan J

    Panel 5 Joyce is my favourite Joyceface so far.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      What about the Panel 5 Billie face?

      1. Beefcube

        Well Panel 1 definitely has the best Grace face so far.

        1. MM

          Either she’s got amazing lips, or that is some really water-resistant makeup.

        2. Undrave

          Maybe it’s her super power and she’s in Amazi-Girl’s rogue gallery!

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Maybe it’s just Maybelline Superstay Lipcolor.

        4. iSaidCandleja-

          Or maybe she’s born with it.

        5. Kernanator

          Cut, cut! You guys got it all wrong. It’s “Maybe she’s born with it”, THEN “Maybe it’s Maybelline”. Okay, Take 2. And, action!

        6. Lunchbox

          Maybe she’s just a vampire.

    2. SolegitRR

      I can’t honestly say I have a favorite Joyceface. I like them all. I think it’s the crazy blue eyes that make every Joyceface ridiculously cute and humorous at the same time. But I guess maybe not, Joyce have been my favorite Walkyverse (and now Dumbiverse) character since the beginning of It’s Walky! and like 95% of those were black and white. I guess I’m just biased.

  6. Cholisose

    Joyce is my best friend too, oddly enough.

  7. MM

    I think Joyce just did a more effective job of breaking Billie than Ruth.

  8. ginsoo

    my condolences to Billie

    1. Jackson

      I feel so incredibly sorry for her right now.

  9. Plasma Mongoose

    And that’s scary.

    1. Aizat

      Very scary, indeed.

      1. NF

        “I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.”

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Just take a few deep beaths and think about shipping characters.

  10. Daeva

    How is it these two keep getting fantastic final panels? How does this keep happening?

    THEIR FAAACE…es…

    1. Undrave

      FAAAAAACEsss!

      1. Daeva

        Yes, that. Thank you. :3

  11. Marion

    What an adorable strip, thanks Mr Willis 🙂

  12. Undrave

    Com’on Billie that’s not true. You got Walky!

    1. NF

      And Billie is rendered catatonic with horror.

      1. MM

        Someone needs to Photoshop Walky’s “OMGprettygirl” face on to Billie now.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Is this photoshop below, the right FAAAACE?

          Modified Billie

        2. TsunamiJane

          Not quite. Needs more zombie.

        3. gangler

          I like the idea that this might be your professional opinion as a gender studies prof.

    2. gangler

      In this universe Joyce and Walky are still a great pair, but they need a bit of a buffer. That’s where Billie comes in.

      1. Undrave

        Threesome!

        1. SolegitRR

          Mistakenly thought this was Youtube, tried to vote this comment up about 6 times before I realized I couldn’t and got sad.

        2. Undrave

          Thank you hahaha.

  13. Dean

    BFFs!

  14. Plasma Mongoose

    BBFs that shower together, STAY together. 😀

    1. Aizat

      Shippers, START YOUR ENGINES.

      1. Kernanator

        Oh, trust me, they’ve already started.

        1. Daeva

          I was under the impression that they were already several laps into the race.

        2. Kernanator

          Yeah, this is just gonna add some extra TURBO.

        3. 1Samildanach

          Yeah, they’ve started their engines. And the ones that replaced the originals after those got thrashed to death. What they’re doing now is getting the third set going ;). Pit crews are already prepping the next lot…

  15. Jon

    Wow, and we thought Joyce wouldn’t learn the ways of the world. She picked up on “taking advantage of your friends” pretty quickly!

  16. Spellingchek

    Willis, you have slowly been restoring my faith in webcomics since you started DoA. Thank you.

  17. Joebo

    That is why no shower kit is complete without tweezers.

    1. Joebo

      …or perhaps a ten foot pole.

      1. Xalticus

        Tongs work too.

      2. Biege

        no inventory is complete without a 10 foot pole

  18. Cognomen

    Awwwww, I remember when I first realized who my best friend is. It was similarly terrifying.

    1. CWR

      Hopefully I’ll never have to experience this – I’ve sucessfully avoided such for over 4 decades, so I think I’m safe. =]

    2. KZero

      I think I had that effect on someone once. It was interesting from my persective.

    3. Rachel

      The day I realized who my best friend was, I was super happy. “OMG I’m best friends with this super amazing person!” Though she may only seem super amazing because she’s my best friend. Ah well. I stand by my exclamation.

  19. Rikushadow5

    Come now, it’s not THAT bad, Billie. You could have Roz as your best friend.

  20. Björn

    OMG Joyce’s eyes are huge! Is she puppyfying them on purpose to get what she wants?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      She will need those skills for when she shills the Chick Tracts.

      1. Kernanator

        You know the saying…

        1. Undrave

          IT’S A TRACT!

          That one right?

        2. Kernanator

          But of course!

  21. TexasNinjaBuzzard

    Power Girl?

    1. Mkvenner

      Who?

  22. Animal

    Need.

    More.

    Shower scenes.

    1. Sili

      Really? I did’t notice Sal anywhere.

      1. G.S.Mercs

        Ah, but you forget something. If there are more shower scenes, that will mean more scenes in general. And if there’s more scenes, there’s a greater chance of having Sal in various forms of undress in one of these scenes.

  23. KZero

    Huh. It took surprisingly little time to catch up on this from my viewing months ago.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It’s a bit like a soap opera in that respects, only about 4-5 have passed in DoA time.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        4-5 days

  24. Jimmy

    “It’s just a little hair clump…”

    1. Joebo

      It’s not just a little hair clump. It is someone else’s little hair clump.

  25. Blob Marley

    I think there’s a porno script to be written somewhere in this scene.

    1. Undrave

      It’s the all-girls wing of a dorm, OFF COURSE there is a porn script to be written :p

  26. Janette

    I feel for you Joyce. It is icky.

    But you have to man up and do it yourself. Even if your a germphobe, and the first five times consisted of running back to your dormroom and hiding.

    Not talking from personal experience. At all.

    1. begbert2

      Somebody with a gender studies professor gravitar needs to comment on you telling Joyce to “man up”.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        “Joyce, you really REALLY need to grow a pair.”

        1. Aizat

          A pair of what prey tell.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          A big pair of ovaries.

        3. Kernanator

          Or a big pair of boobs. As opposed to the average pair she already has.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Boobs Of Steel no less.

  27. Kernanator

    I knew it! I knew IT WAS A TRACT!

  28. Heartlesshealer

    Billie’s face in panel 5 is hilarious. (not using the meme since I don’t remember its origin well enough)

    But yeah, Joyce, you don’t ask your best friend to get hair clumps for you. Best friends make you do it yourself. Even if it’s someone else’s, it’s just sitting there. Not like it got in your food or drink or something.

  29. Jimmy

    Trust me Joyce, it could be much much worse. Take it from a guy who’s spent 13 years cleaning part time. If it gets too bad, invest in latex (gloves that is).

    1. Aydr

      Or use sex as a bargaining tool for cleaning. That might work too.

  30. Rachel

    Are the showers at IU actually like that? Even at my boarding high school every room had it’s own shower, though not always very big.

    1. Sarah

      I don’t know about IU, but at my college they’re all stalls like that.

  31. Birch

    Alright, tag counter says it’s quite literally time to take Joe down a peg.

    Come on, Willis, Joe has been staring smugly down from that glorious number two-spot for too long!

    1. Mkvenner

      But he’s number 3. Patrick McGoohan is Number Six.

      Be seeing you. 😉

  32. Lee

    I wish Joyce was my best friend, I don’t even mind clumps of hair.

  33. Mkvenner

    This is easy to fix. You and Joyce fly to Éire and you both go visit Craggy Island. You leave Joyce on the front step of the parochial house with a note, ring the bell and then run like hell. The best part is she’ll never be able to leave, because no one escapes from that mental hell hole. 😀

    1. Mkvenner

      It’s like the Village in a way.

  34. Mkvenner

    Grace get her first three word. 🙂

    1. Mkvenner

      Motherhugger!

    2. Mkvenner

      Grace gets her first three words. 🙂

  35. Steven

    Oh wow, this comic is full of references:
    http://www.itswalky.com/comics/19990224a.gif

    1. Steven

      Also, the new banner: great. Billie and Joe leering at each other. Marvelous.

      1. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

        One is leering. The other appears to be about to break into a snarl.

        1. Kernanator

          Either way, it’s a great combination.

  36. dchorror

    Let’s look at this honestly, Billie. Did you really need the horror face for Joyce being your best friend? You could, you know, not have friends at all.

    1. 1Samildanach

      I think part of the problem is not being sure which option is more horrifying :p.

  37. Luke

    My god, Joyce’s eyes are bluuuuuuuuue. It’s like she’s sucking blueness out of the entire room and absorbing them into her eyes.

    1. Kernanator

      Of course! That must be the source of her powers! Or maybe it’s like that paint commercial where the painter’s eyes suddenly turn blue!

  38. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

    I find it cute that this has just dawned on Billie. Now let’s see how long it takes her to figure out that -she- is the problem for having only one real friend now… =D

  39. Daeva

    Alright, Joe and Billie in the banner? Perfect. Simply Perfect.

    “Heeeeeeeeeyyy–”

    “NO.”

  40. OhNoUDiNt

    What’s a mysterious hair clump between SBFs? If your shower buddy won’t remove it, who will?

  41. ThatRobedGuy

    Wow. That last panel has some GREAT emotion. Good job, Willis.

    1. ThatRobedGuy

      Aaaaand my icon makes it look like I’m being sarcastic…damn you, random icon giving computer!

  42. Kelsey

    It’s what best friends do.

  43. Abyss Phantasia

    wait best friends…..

    Does this mean the two of them become Cure Black and Cure White?

  44. newllend

    Hahahaha, bellie your pathetic

  45. dutchguy

    Oh don’t worry Billy it gets worse, after all your only other friend so far is Walky
