This will go well with no chance of misunderstandings or miscommunication. Neither Liz, Roz, nor Becky will be at the piza place. Nothing can go wrong.
Well there’s the place that used to be where Galasso’s is now but had to move out of town to a cheaper place, but they’re not a direct competitor anymore.

GALASSO HAS CONQUERED THE LOCAL PIZZA (AND SUBS) MARKET!
Becky won’t be, she’s in class. Liz won’t be, she actually got carted back to school. Roz might be, but she wouldn’t ruin the pizza time, she doesn’t care that much about Joyce or Joe.

eh, whatever
There are. Biologists have been singing epics about morays for, uh, a few years at least.
If you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee,
that’s a moray;
if its mouth opens wide and there’s another inside,
that’s a moray!
If it lurks in a reef and has two sets of teeth,
that’s a moray;
if it goes for your leg and breaks it like an egg,
that’s a moray!

Yikes, I didn’t know morays were so vicious. And here i thought my fear of them was entirely mario-64-based.

Hey I might temporarily bring Mike back to life in some form in my fan games.

…I mean, that WOULD be the perfect time for Mike to show up. Much as he was able to rely on the perfect timing for a superhero, this too is a time founded fundamentally upon the internal logic of the forces that power Mike and give him his essence of being.
You know.
Being a dick.

He steps on panel, throws a bunch, shakes his hand once, turns to go, and is never seen again.
Depends on the religion! Christianity would indeed be a disappointment for a zillion reasons, but there’s plenty of pagan practices out there that would accommodate scientific rigor, rather than demanding the other way around.
And Joe might’ve just wiggled his way into a date. Wonder if he’ll get flashbacks to their first pizza date. Those were good times…for Mike specifically.
But instead of face punching makes a casual comment that they didn’t expect Joyce and Joe recognise the mutual attraction for at least a month, prompting Joyce to sputter “Joe isn’t interested in me!” Followed by Joe’s “About that- wait a minute”.
Demon: “Why you are so scared at night?”
You: “Because I’m afraid I’ll never find a beautiful and kind demon who wants to marry me.”
Demon: “Oh… well this is bit awkward now.”

secrets are like blood in the water for Joyce, huh

Joyce is very good at intelligence gathering

Lesbian love sleuth! Where ‘lesbian’ modifies ‘love’ and unfortunately not ‘sleuth’!

Sounds like a great premise for a visual novel! ?
Opus the Poet
That sounds like Jaime the Love Detective on Girls With Slingshots.

Clif
Also no Jacob or Walky. For different reasons.
Plonker
It would still have a chance of going right – except, in Willis world, there’s only that one place that serves pizza, and no others.
Because why would anyone else think there was any money to be made competing in the pizza slinging market in a college town?

Word of God says Mike is gone for good…
But it would be very Mike to overthrow God and come back anyway, wouldn’t it?
Electric
It would be especially Mike to overthrow God and his first action being to punch Joe in the face.

Needfuldoer
The person entering Galasso’s in front of them lets go of the door slightly too early, and it hits Joe in the face.
Connie trips carrying a tray, it goes flying and hits Joe in the face.
Joe excuses himself to the bathroom, and the faucet’s broken so it sprays him in the face with water.
As they’re leaving, they catch a glimpse of a cloud formation that vaguely resembles Mike’s hair.
Amber faintly hears Mike cackling.
Schpoonman
The only turn of events that could possibly be more disappointing than Mike coming back is Dina finding religion.
BarerMender
Bite your tongue! OFF!!
Concolor44
I cannot see that as even a remote possibility. Thankfully.
Adam Black
I disagree. I could see Dina having a numinous experience contemplating deep time on some dig with her gf, seeing the whole milky way.
Or adopting some Buddhist practice . just distant from dogma.

Turn into a date! Turn into a date!
Awaiting Moderation
It speaks well to the potential relationship that Joe finds this endearing.
Awaiting Moderation
Still worried about Joe’s ability to approach the subject given his self esteem issues though.
Steelbright
It’d be nice if he’d just be honest about them, but uh…that seems way too healthy
Cerusee
The tiny smile on his face in panel four! He thinks this is cute!
(And the bigger smile on his face in panel one! He’s happy to see her!)
StClair
I just hope this doesn’t end with him running away from her.
In the rain.
(Again.)
RacingTurtle
Still traumatized by that all these years later

A few more days and we can all sing November Rain when this blows up.

And Joe might’ve just wiggled his way into a date. Wonder if he’ll get flashbacks to their first pizza date. Those were good times…for Mike specifically.
Thag Simmons
Oh right this is almost exactly the set-up from their last date.
Wondering if Booster’ll show up, since they inherited Mike’s responsibilities.

It’s like the demon under your bed asking you why you’re so scared at night.

Awe but we only want to help you. ?

“Why are you so scared at night?” the monster asked.
“At first I was scared of you, but now I’m mostly worried things have gotten awkward between us.”
Kyrik Michalowski
Demon: “Why you are so scared at night?”
You: “Because I’m afraid I’ll never find a beautiful and kind demon who wants to marry me.”

I too, long to be the pog champ of a beautiful and kind demon. ?

I mean, how can you say no to a grin like panel 5?

Ah yes, nothing says love is in the air like Galasso’s Pizza!

Does Becky still work at Galasso’s?
RassilonTDavros
…oh no.
…ooooooooh noooooo
(yes.)
Nono
We haven’t seen Becky work there since the timeskip, have we?

We have
