She sounds a bit like the old one (well, the old one didn’t really say Jesus as much). Remember when she was discussing their future kids’ names with Danny?
Fundamentalist Christians tend to try to figure out just how “Christian” others who say they’re Christian are. At least that’s how the fundies I used to work with were. I recited the Niece Creed at them once during break, it was fun…
I don’t believe in nieces. I believe that we have the same relatives, and they are welcome at family barbecues, but they are not related to me.

My four nieces would never forgive me if I attempted to disbelieve in them, and I would be sad to lose touch with them as well. Biased as I am, how could I not be impressed with children that tell bedtime stories to their books?
Oh, gentiles…oy vey…I’ll say you’re Orthodox and I’m Reformed.
CJ
I don’t believe in extended families at all, but rather that we all have the capacity to be at least friends. Nieces? Nephews? Y’all some crazy fundies.
And seconded on the “how Christian art thou” questions. Oy veh.
zuche
The correct answer to that question is, “He wants me to keep that between us.”
JesseJanitect
That’s still not how you spell it. It’s Nicene creed. And I’ve done that too. It was excellent revenge for that time when I went to a Southern Baptist summer camp and was warned not ot admit I was Catholic.
Perhaps like original Walkyverse Joyce, DoA Joyce has access to hammerspace. Instead of a jetpack and BFG, she keeps her husband-hunting equipment there.
You jackasses make me so glad I turned off the underline links feature on my browser. I managed to make it to the end of the comment string and was warned! Ha! I have prevailed over the addictive evil that shall not be spoken!
I’m guessing no one ever explained that most guys do not find the idea of an indepth survey exactly “romantic” to Joyce huh?
The scary thing is, the survey was probably 100% her idea. I can just see her now explaining to her friends “What kind of man WOULDN’T want to answer this? I’ll be engaged by Fall Break!”
So what’s it going to be Joe? Put up with all this in the off-chance she MIGHT sleep with you, or see if you can tag out with Danny?
This the guy who actually asked his best friend if he could have sex with his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend before the couple even broke up. Do you honestly think he won’t have any problem with passing off the crazy to someone else to make his own attempt at getting laid easier?
Someone
Joe could see the writing on the wall months before Danny. Hell, maybe he’d even talked in confidence with Dorothy beforehand to be prepared to deal with what Danny’d become. And every guy knows that once it’s over, she’s fair game again! Right guys? …Guys?
Shift
The Bro Code dictates you do not go after that ex-girlfriend of your bro, especially not immediately after the break-up and when they have not yet gotten over the break-up.
Regardless of the writing on the wall, it was an uber-douche move on Joe’s part. And the previous comic has shown that Joe and Dorothy only recently talked about dealing with Danny after the break-up.
My boyfriend explained to me yesterday, “Do not stick your dick in crazy.” I would hope that, at the very least, he finds a way to extricate himself from the situation without passing Danny the buck.

Discussion (147) - “Clipboard”
Teowulf
Regret if I’ve ever seen it.
Jen Aside
Two can ask that question, Joe! =D
I mean, hell of a set-up…
Digidestined of Trust (Tim)
HAHA! Go Joyce! Making sure everything’s in order first.
David Herbert
Well, at least she’s prepared.
Was she a girl scout?
Rodrigo
I have a questionaire too for first dates. And also psychological tests. Seriously! But it never worked out.
DaniellePhantom
i still think this will work out. JOE AND JOYCE will prevail.
R
Exactly, they’ll just be one of those couples that has to take a while to be ready for each other, and it’ll be all worth it in the end.
Socks
i believe 1 of 2 things will happen
1. joe will give up & move on to another lady
or
2.joe will lie & still try to get her to go to bed with him lol
The A.D.D. Kidd
Joe is already terribly frightened, you can just see it in his eyes.
Samui
JoeXJoyce? More like Joeyce!
Azreal
I realy dislike this joyce.
R
She sounds a bit like the old one (well, the old one didn’t really say Jesus as much). Remember when she was discussing their future kids’ names with Danny?

God damit why is my avatar rachael!!!

And usually the realization of a terrible mistake comes in the morning. Joe should be happy, look at all the time he hasn’t wasted!
MrGBH
But he misses out on all the fun stuff this way.
TheAlucinaut
I LOVE JOYCE
Rognik
15 questions just to learn what religion he is? That’s kind of excessive. Then again, that clipboard might be longer than any of us suspect.

Kamino Neko
The Niece Creed? ‘We believe in one little girl, daughter of my sibling, creator of messes, visible and invisible’?
R
Sorry cold meds make me bad at spelling.
Taryn
That is a creed I could believe in.

I guess that’s useful for getting dates

Steven
To be fair, if all the people who claimed to be Christians actually acted like Christians, there’d be no need for such a checklist.
dchorror
Sections, not questions. This is an exam you have to study for, and still might fail.
Lokitsu
Not fifteen questions, fifteen sections.
Be afraid Joe… be very afraid
Gianni
“The next fifteen sections” Love it!
Ragnal
So much for ‘not as crazy as Walkyverse’ Joyce.
Someone
Least it’s a different kind of crazy. And at least she hasn’t stalked anyone to their dorms (that we’re aware of)
Rognik
Give her time.
Lillian
I love Joyce. If only it were that easy to check the religious/moral beliefs of prospective partners.
R
Why isn’t it? I think that’s normal first date (or sooner) material if the subject is important to you.
Qaxis
Joe believes in 90%, so long as snuggling and Joeing are synonyms.
Confuzor
Cuddling…with his penis.
Confuzor
er, “snuggling”
zuche
Yeah, he’d mistake the other word for “cudding” and get the wrong idea entirely.
maggiemarmalade
puggling? pudding? pengling?
Kamino Neko
Piddling?
… No, that’s something else.
Does involve Joe’s penis, though.
…
I wonder if he’s into that.
…
Yeah, I need the brain bleach, now…
Wackd
Sorry, all out. I’ve got a shotgun if you’d like.
Clementine
Awww! Snuggling! I should have a questionnaire…
sainki
not unless you are planning to be celibate for all of eternity
Cheeso
Where did she hide the clipboard?
Shift
The same place Clark Kent hides his glasses and hair-gel probably.

… huhwha? Is it 4 AM already? I clicked on those links… then clicked more links…
Forget “damn you Willis”. DAMN YOU TVTROPES!!!

What Zap said. I had just made a personal goal to never go back there, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
dchorror
See, I’m glad I’ve long since made an aversion to clicking random links.
Thank you, Rick Astley.

Rickrolling is what made you stop clicking links? Lucky.

Once again, this kind of goes against him setting Danny up with someone. Passing off the crazy chick is not cool wingman material.
