Guys like that are half the reason I’m a lesbian, the other half is purely due to physical attraction… what? Girls are hot. I bet she is great in the sack…Uh I had a point to make but now I’ve lost it. Oh right, it’s not just guys who are like that it’s just that most of them are just more obvious about it lol. It’s probably because we can keep our penis in a drawer. Behind the socks and under the panties.
Well, I don’t like to categorize, but the fact that about 90% of my relationships has been with women probably says something about how rare men are who you can have relationships with.
(“You” here meaning “me”.)
She is definitely one of my favorites. She may be a little bit angry at the world and definitely isn’t the greatest with people, but she means well and understands better than most of the characters what the consequences of her/their actions will be.
This strip makes Sarah likable? Really? To me it makes her seem like a pretentious, holier-than-thou bongo. Who the fuck calls people a year younger than they are “children”?
Sarah seems like she’s been through a lot in the past year. Her “my roommate was a stoner” just seems to be the tip of the iceberg — she’s probably matured way more than her nineteen years would indicate (the hints of her being on scholarship, the hints at being bullied). This is one of the reasons I like her so much. I think she’s earned the right to call Joe a child.
Until you are at least 5 years older than someone, you are not allowed to call them a child. Anything else makes you sound arrogant.
LazarusLong
she is not calling joe a child because of his age, but rather because his behavior and attitudes are immature.
Andy
Doesn’t matter. Simply by implying that she is more mature and therefore better than someone else, to the point where they are a child compared to her, she comes off as arrogant and kinda bongoy to the casual observer.
Chase
“untill you’re 5 years older than someone”……. think about what you said.
Andy
I know exactly what I said. The only exceptions to this rule are siblings and younger relatives. I see nothing wrong with saying “You’re acting/being immature,” but calling someone a child reeks of arrogance if you don’t have the age difference to back it up.
Someone
sooo…a 50 year old can call a 42 year old a child, who may be his boss…without getting his teeth kicked in? Good luck with that
It’s not about age, it’s about maturity. Joe is still a horny 13 year old, no matter what his driver’s license says. He can’t picture how anything that’s good for him could be bad for someone else.
What kind of 13 year olds are horny? Wow. I was playing nintendo at 13. Horny came later in life.
I know some perverted old men who live and lived their own lives and I can say being a perverted horndog has nothing to do with age or maturity. It’s a personality quirk.
To be fair, Sarah is talking about maturity, not age. And even then, she HAS been at college for a year now, and has no doubt seen this sort of thing happen before. She knows the kind of person that Joe is; a womanizer who doesn’t consider or really care about the feelings and emotions of others, but instead his own sexual gratification.
And she already knows with 100% accuracy that Joyce thinks this is going to be start of her perfect life of marital bliss. Unless Joe rethinks things, and decided to attempt a relationship with Joyce, our little bible girl is going to be really hurt in the end.
I’ll agree that Sarah is being rather abrassive with what she’s doing and honestly that “fuck you” was a bit unnecessary of her, (Joe can’t help it that all his blood flow is going to the head in his pants), but in the end, she’s trying to save Joyce a great deal of heartache.
How dare she get sarcastic and hostile when her attempts to keep her life stable are falling apart through no fault of her own (indeed, despite her efforts).
The Sarah-Joe relationship is going to be all kinds of fun to watch. Cynical maturity VS shallow hedonism. And then they end up being drinking buddies (soda!).
Is this the first time you’ve commented on the DoA comments, or am I just unobservant? You are a LEGEND on the old ‘It’s Walky!’ Nightstar forums (of which I was a constant lurker and occasional poster).
Anyway, a little ranting, relating to your former stature, on obscure commentary, of an old favorite comic of mine out of the way….heya, dirty old man, how’s it hangin’?!?
Sounds like Sarah needs to have a “dick shoved all up in her.” I’m sure Joe can help fix her. With his penis. And for the record, she is great in the sack.
It’s great to see good shot of the food. I’m not sure the light brown dish of poultry anymore. it almost seems like a blob in panel one. That could just be the angle though so my best guess is still pheasant.. or one of those tiny one person chickens you sometimes find.
what the hell are those anyway? I don’t eat chicken but how do they get a tinier chicken that would fit on a plate. Pheasant sounds reasonable but I’ve seen chickens that are sold tiny in the supermarket.
I’m 98% sure he is holding it with cake.
The squiggles on Sarah’s food turned into spots this time. With that in mind and the flatness of it the last time I saw it I also feel confident in saying she is eating pizza.

This was supposed to be in reply to Zap’s comment below. Somehow my clicks got confused.

And yet your comment still ended up exactly where it needed to be.

Perhaps, with my penis just became the universally fitting quotable reply for things with joe now.

I read that as “somehow my dicks got confused”.

This, exactly, is what she meant, as proven by her prior rant.

I don’t know if think Joe’s responce to that still would be “with my penis.” so it could work.

Deffinatly “with my penis.”

Rowen Morland
A parallel with Danny?
Trae Dorn
Joe’s acting like a 13 year old. She’s not stuck up so much as sick of listening to an idiot.
Hell, I’d react the same way if I were Sarah.
Chiatroll
seriously the number 13 again? when did 13 year olds start acting like this. I hate kids. I didn’t have women in my life at that age. I had nintendo.
Trae Dorn
13 is picked because it’s the age where most of us discovered our penis.
Your delayed interest in girls is atypical.

Joe wants to Joe her with his penis in the sack.

Oh Joe. You are both the worst and best kind of douche-bag. 😛

I think I just made that sound of disgust people tent to make when they really can’t believe a person just said what they did…

I’m rooting for someone to drop a safe on Joe’s foot, so Danny has to sub for him on the date with Joyce — instant fiasco, just add Willis.

“instant fiasco, just add Willis” pretty much describes most story arcs Willis has written the last several years.

Yes, with our penises. Even the girls. They can go buy strap-ons.

I was thinking of it as a sort of singular collective penis. A fandom hive-penis.

Yeah, that went to a bit of a weird place.

Joe has a one-track mind, and the player keeps on skipping.

Kamino Neko
Indeed. It’s going into my lexicon.

Poor Sarah… It still stings being disliked for how she dealt with her past roommate…but she still tried…that’s good she tried : D
I used to think she was too stern and serious but this is slowly changing my mind…
Hoop
Wait, so the guy who designs talking flying cars and collects Transformers and thinks with his dick is immature?
WELL I NEVER
(seriously, I want to see a storyline where Joe gets a girl back to his dorm room and has to explain his robot display.)

Hey, he’s only got so much blood.

There’s a Yiddish proverb that says “When the prick stands up, the brain goes to sleep.” Joe must do a lot of sleep-walking…

It’s a heaping portion of butterscotch pudding. Plus a piece of chocolate cake! Joe’s well on his way to his Freshman Fifteen.
