No, she’s just scandalized at the cavalcade of penii in everything Amazi-girl is saying.
Brady Kj
Penes.
Anon
Don’t know why, but cavalcade of penis sounded really like the ride of the valkyrie in my head.
Now I’m imagining giant dongs rising from the sunset at the horizon, while the aforementioned piece plays.
But it’s not the end, turns out that those Helidongters were actually disguised flying GAU 8, and they open fire on the poor Joyce as soon as they reach her, in a brrrrRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of 30mm fast tiny dongs.
All the while, Joyce is desperately shouting in a radio calling in god support, receiving no response.
Is her god dead? Is the radio broken? Will instead Dorothy come in her support with her giant lesbian shield to stop all those assaulting dongs?? Only Willis can tell.
For those unfamiliar, a Belgian accent in English is something of a cross between French and German if the Belgian in question was a Waloon speaker, or more French for the Francophone districts of Belgium. And I think I just non-gratuitously used Belgium in a post, do I get an award?

I think that’s only if you use “Belgium” as a profanity.
BalRog gets a "D"...and PASSES!!!
And in a serious screenplay. When they make “Dumbing of Age Comments Section–The Movie” we’ll give you a call.

It’s funny because the nation of Belgium has no reason to exist.
Yeah, as I was reading this, I was like “wow, this is pretty much exactly what that guy predicted”. Right on the money. This is of course assuming that this isn’t a red herring.
I am a little worried that tomorrow we will find out it is something completely different and I look like an idiot.

I’m still not convinced you were wrong about Ninja Rick!

Look at the rejected strip idea on Willis’ tumblr that inspired this story arc. You called it, Mr Wolfe. (because he is the greatest of the armchair detectives and I totally read your earlier post in Maury Chaykin’s voice).
Charlie Spencer
A Nero Wolfe reference? That’s even better than Hercule Poirot, Archie.
LittleMountain
Until proven otherwise, you totally called it. No one can take that feeling away from you, right now.
nothri
Its still pretty badass that you figured out the red herring with such precision.
Called that Joyce was at least one of the culprits, or called the truth behind the Dingaling Bandit?
Amazigirl finds ONE clue that points to this well after she gave Mike enough time to arrange such a find, especially after being tipped off that she was both investigating AND easy to manipulate, and she puts together a textbook whudunnit ending to make it all add up. Hardly a hole-free case.
Well, congrats, you are a super sleuth. All you need now is an opium habit and a former war medic to act as a foil for your genius and possibly to imply homoerotic sexual tensions between you two and your image shall be complete!
Who needs children blocks when you have years of mental conditioning? Until quite recently, Joyce would never have even thought to look up such a thing on the internet, and even the suggestion of it would have appalled her?
But just you watch. This is a slippery slope Joyce has started on. Now years later, Joyce will be a web cartoonist who occasionally even draws Slipshine porn comics of her beloved characters!
(Whoops! Should have proof read. That first paragraph was supposed to end with an exclamation point rather than a question mark. Damn this lack of an edit feature!)
At least with no edit capability we aren’t now plagued with dozens of detailed correct predictions in past strips. And the one or two extremely impressive ultranear-misses in details are still impressive.
Some comment systems I’ve had allow edits, for example, within five minutes of making your post. Perfect for, “Oh drat, look at that silly typo I’ve made,” and still prevents people from rewriting history as you seem to fear.

Joyce is actually startled because there’s a naked Faz behind Amazi-Girl there.

I think Joyce is mostly startled by the memory of looking up what penes look like, suddenly popping back into her head uninvited. 😛
She never should’ve started dicking about with that marker… xD
Koms
A hard habit to kick. You could get penalized for that.

I know everyone is going say they called it, but I totally called it. Mostly. Close enough.
Opus the Poet
Yes you totally called it, you win an internet. 😉

Oh wow…..you really did call it….
David Herbert
How’d he get into Willis’ PC to read the story ahead?
Plasma Mongoose
Your little grey cells must have been working well that day, I don;’t suppose that you have a Belgium accent, do ya?

I was so extremely happy to see a Hercule Poirot reference that I actually giddily squealed while bouncing in my chair at work… and I’m a guy…

Interesting! Probably even more so if I had any idea of the literary characterization you are referring to! Is it from a 1940s Bugs Bunny cartoon?

Circumstantial. Unless Brown confesses, AG’s got nothing concrete; that stolen dry-erase marker isn’t terribly damning.

I find it hard to believe that the children blocks aren’t on on Joyce’s phone

I guess we can’t technically know until we see evidence or she admits it in another update. Quick Joyce plead the fifth then lawyer up!

Quick, have Mike go around and fix all the boards so Amazi-Girl looks stupid accusing Joyce of drawing invisidicks
