    GO IN FOR THE EAR BITE! GO IN FOR THE EAR BITE!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Rose by Any other Name

      I approve this sentiment.

    2. Yet_One_More_Idiot

      I was gonna say the Neck Nibble. Either Or, they’re both good. ^^

    3. Aquila

      Only if it’s not touching any other part of Dorothy.

    4. CianM1301

      *chanting while pounding fists on table*
      NIBBLE! NIBBLE! NIBBLE! NIBBLE!

  3. ZombieKyrik

    I love this so much, except for the fact that it’s going to hurt Joe, and Becky.

    What do I do?

    1. NGPZ

      be like the rest of us and grab some popcorn and a lawn chair, sit back and enjoy the chaos

      1. Doctor_Who

        The only sensible play.

        1. Sirksome

          “Poor Joe.” ? (performative)

      2. Reaver

        Someone brought hotdogs to the last showing, so this time I brought loaded nachos!~

    2. CrazyJ

      Walky as well even if he might be a little more prepared for it since he’s already been dumped by Dotty once already.

      1. ZombieKyrik

        I had forgotten about Walky, but yes he’ll be hurt too.

      2. Paradoxius

        In my powerful mind, she has already joined them in a lesbian throuple, and it’s utterly dysfunctional.

        1. Dante

          I saw Willis’ “AU” with several characters wearing the Standard Lesbian Undercut and Walky was there. I’m manifesting her being an egg about to crack.

        2. Tawdry Quirks

          Walky, and only Walky, is standing in Canada in that lesbian undercut AU drawing.

        3. slambat

          as per usual, uncle iroh is correct

    3. Clif

      Keep reading. Try not to stress. Periodically shake your fist at the sky and yell, “Damn You Willis!”

      1. Jon

        Best advice.

    4. GholaHalleck

      Just keep telling yourself Joyce hasn’t brushed her teeth yet.

    5. Wraithy2773

      “What about Walky?”

      “Eh.”

      1. ZombieKyrik

        I forgot about Walky; didn’t mean to exclude him from the situation I just didn’t think about it.

        1. Wraithy2773

          I totally understand, just felt it’d be a funny gag. 🙂

    6. Pocky

      I swear, if Joyce gets out of this mess and it winds up being a poly relationship, she has the most game out of any of the main cast.

      1. Proxiehunter

        Joyce. Pulls.

    7. GUIGUI

      Methink Becky will be fine.

    8. Tofusmith

      Honestly I think it’s gonna swerve, Becky will be fine with this but Joe will be devastated

  4. shadowcell

    Shortpacked! Dumbing of Age Might Be a Teensy Bit Gay

    1. GuruGuru214

      This is totally adopted babies.

  5. C.T Phipps

    “Are we together now?”

    “As long as it doesn’t keep me from sleeping with Joe.”

    1. Meagan

      Sigh. If only we could have had that reality. Where it was OK.

      1. CrazyJ

        Maybe in France. There’s a reason English stole the term “Menage a trois” from French.

  6. Bootshivers

    Those were entirely platonic kisses before this moment

  7. Retrac42

    The most wholesome this comic will ever be. We love to see it.

  8. Animedingo

    Ha GAAAAAAAAAAAY

    1. zaratustra

      DOROTHY? I’m GAY! For YOU!

  9. Joe Moose

    [Announcer]
    Normal programs will be interrupted to give later “on the spot” reports as they are received
    Meanwhile, we go back to our scheduled program.

  10. IntangibleMatter

    [camera pulls out]

    Becky: WHAT

    1. Taffy

      Why’s Becky in there?

      1. Proxiehunter

        To watch Joyce while she sleeps. It’s not wierd.

      2. AbacusWizard

        She’s everywhere, at all times, just beyond the panel border.

  11. Doopyboop

    I love when couples cuddle up like this but also all I can think about is “oh god their arms must be so tingly right now”

    1. Yumi

      There are times when I can barely manage positioning my arms when sleeping alone.

      1. Doopyboop

        Ditto, if I fall asleep on my stomach and happen to be laying on my arms, it’s so over.

    2. Wilde

      My one-foot-taller partner and I sleep in spoon position and we switch spoon sides often. I can testify, Dot and Joyce have it easy being so close in height. My arm is constantly twisted up and half asleep, but spooning is worth it. Usually.

    3. Ray Radlein

      I have often wondered how I managed to sleep like this every night in college without my arm going to sleep constantly.

      Actually, rather than spoon, we usually slept face-to-face in a tangle of arms and legs that must have looked like someone fired two sets of body parts at each other point-blank from canons

      1. Doopyboop

        That sounds like a mix of being uncomfortable and yet probably super comfortable.

  12. Sirksome

    Don’t trust Joyce.

  13. Annaphylaxis

    Like I said before, pour this into my veins. If this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

    Sorry, boys.

    1. not someone else

      As a Boy:tm:, y’all have fun, we’re apparently getting some Asher time and I just bet he’s gonna make out with Ethan again, eyes emoji nails emoji.

  14. Dot

    You fools! You defy The List and risk incurring its wrath!

  15. Ty34er

    Comic aside, are your upload servers just really off? I swear it doesn’t update on my end until like 11:10pm now.

    1. Amós Batista

      I’ve seen to server updating 11:08, 11:02, even 11:15

      1. windowz97

        its been consistently at the xx:16 point for me the last few days, fingers crossed the clock resets soonish!! because god forbid i gotta wait to see hijinks

    2. Heatth

      It seems to be always random for some reason, it is never on the dot. Thank god I never tried to make the first comment.

    3. RassilonTDavros

      It’s been like that for ages. Every so often it gets fixed, but I’m guessing that’s on Hiveworks’ end and out of Willis’ control.

      1. RassilonTDavros

        As an aside, did the site just crash in the last few minutes for anyone else?

        1. windowz97

          it did for me yea!! or at least just took a loooooonnngg time to load suddenly before finally pulling through

        2. Amós Batista

          it happens often, maybe because of traffic

    4. Slartibeast Button, BIA

      All the sexual tension distorts space and time around the server, sorry.

    5. BBCC

      The server drifts. It’ll reset eventually.

    6. Needfuldoer

      Just let the time drift until it wraps back around to being 24 hours off.

  16. DocHarleen

    Joyce is the big spoon and I love that for her.

  17. Kiashi

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  18. Isactuallyabear

    Holy shit I’m gay.

  19. foducool

    meanwhile, Sarah : O_O

    1. Kiashi

      If sarah is smart she evacuated LOL

      1. Effie

        The bathroom’s right through the door

      2. Marsh Maryrose

        Pretty sure Sarah spent the night in Tony’s room

    2. ZombieKyrik

      I’m guessing Sarah spent the night with Tony, or she’s just fast asleep.

  20. Icalasari

    Nah, needs more data points

  21. Dot

    You’re trying your level best, Willis, and I truly respect that, but I just still do not feel anything toward this couple. I cannot yet give my lesbian seal of approval.

    1. GholaHalleck

      You know it’s funny, I legit think Dotty might actually be lesbian and not Bi. It would explain a lot about her character and how she’s dealt with her relationships before Joyce.

      1. Bittersweet

        ^^ this, I’ve been wondering this for a while now. Like, we’ve seen her show sexual attraction to Walky, but I question if she’s biromantic or just homoromantic.

    2. Mal

      I feel things for this couple on a panel by panel basis. Or, like, until the end of the current cute strip, before reality sets in. Like this strip: it’s very sweet in all of the cuddles and quiet intimacy/comfort and Joyce explicitly expressing her sexuality. D’aaww.

      But then the strip ends and I think over the story as a whole and remember: “Oh yeah, this is happening less than 24, 12?, hours after Joe, still clueless boyfriend Joe, gave Joyce a weighted blanket and she put her mouth on his weenus. Hmmmm…” It just breaks the cuteness for me. For me. Me personally. No judgment or statement about what anyone else should be feeling.

      1. Lumino

        I completely agree. The existence of the cheating leaves a foul taste in my mouth. How can I enjoy sweet cuddling when I know how much wrong they did (and are still doing) to get here?

        That’s part of why I want them to be discovered. I’ll be able to enjoy the sweetness once it’s honest.

        1. Meagan

          Yes, if there’s any chance of enjoying the sweetness for me, it’d be with honesty and dealing with the full situation. I’m willing to give benefit of the doubt I’ll get there but forecast says highly unlikely.

    3. Meagan

      Yeah this one in particular leaves me cold. Most of them have.

    4. Kyulen

      If it hadn’t started with cheating I’d probably be fine with this relationship.

    5. Megan

      i’ve given him like twelve of my bisexual seals of approval, so i’m sure they’ll live

    6. MordWa

      The blandest possible couple.

      I get that this is where Willis wanted to go all along, but Joe & Joyce are a much more interesting pairing.

  22. Li

    Baww.

  23. darkoneko

    hah

  24. Yotomoe

    o3o Alright Guys. Jorothy shippers eating good right now. Not really my thing but I’m happy for y’all. But it got me thinking. What’re some of YOUR favorite ships. Either Already together, Formerly together, Hinted or WAY out of left field. And give a reason why you like ’em so much. (Poly is, of course) permitted.

    1. cbwroses

      I will always be for the SS Garbage Skowl.

      1. Meagan

        I sort of agree. Would be interesting for it to come back around.

    2. Dana

      Billie and Ruth. It’s a little that I love the trashfire and a little that I like seeing Billie happy.

      1. Sirksome

        You Jen/Ruth shippers are stronger than me. I can’t trust Ruth anymore after the breakup. How do you know you’re not gambling she’ll not just torch it again? They were in such a good space. ?

        1. Yotomoe

          If you love something you let it go. If it comes back it’s yours etc. etc. I dunno. I just like them.

      2. BarerMender

        I love Billy & Ruth even more than Joyce and Dorothy (whom I’ve been shipping for years). My heart was broken when Ruth sabotaged herself.

      3. BBCC

        I feel your pain because I, too, am going down with this ship.

    3. Yotomoe

      Me First!
      Walky/Amber- I feel like there’s so much chemistry between these two it’s insane. Amber is the only girlfriend Walky had that didn’t try to “fix” him, and I feel like that made HIM want to be a better version of himself. It was a bad time and a bad situation but I think they should give it another shot.

      Billie/Ruth- It’s been enough time. I want them back. My OG toxic ship.

      Liz/Joyce- Honestly I thought if anyone was gonna be her bi awakening it’d be Liz, but maybe that was just wishful thinking in hindsight. Honestly they’d be cute together and if they dated then her and Sarah would ACTUALLY be sisters 😛

      Sal/Danny- GAWD They’re cute. Hope nothing happens to ’em

      Dina/Joe- Now before you guys crucify me for shipping Dina with anyone but becky…Joe and Dina have an UNEXPECTED amount of chemistry. I don’t even know if I’d want them to date as much as have like a FWB type thing idk. In the ideal DOA polycule I definitely attach those two branches.

      1. Doopyboop

        I can actually get behind Dina and Joe. I grant you, I ship Dina with Becky a lot, but I can see the chemistry and appeal!

        1. NGPZ

          yee, Dina’s power level far surpasses Joe,

          we’ve seen what the dino-loving dom can do to Becky

          just IMAGINE what she could do to Joe >:D

        2. NGPZ

          case in point:

          http://dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-12/02-ill-leave-you-a-phantom/tedium/

        3. Doopyboop

          HELL yeah! also I’m a sucker for height differences in a couple and Dina being so short while Joe’s so tall, yet she’s the dom in that dynamic, that’s what I like to see >D

        4. NGPZ

          YEEEAAAH!!!! >:D

        5. Yotomoe

          RIGHT!?

        6. Proxiehunter

          I think everyone even vaguely into fem presenting people remembers what she threatened to do to Joe that one time.

        7. Proxiehunter

          Which I could have sworn you had not yet linked to when I replied although that doesn’t seem to be what the timestamps say.

      2. Yotomoe

        Also I cannot take credit for this setup (my friend made this polycule setup) but I feel like this would be my ideal DOA Poly ship.
        https://imgur.com/a/Wx96toL

        1. Miri

          I can get behind that but I think Becky might explode with anxiety even if she understood it was just because she was FWB with Joe to scientifically determine exactly how best to make him tremble. And even if she was sharing data with Joyce…

          I suggest surprise additional node between her and Dorothy and the discovery that the antagonism from her is suppressed attraction (see “if girls like her were shoving me into lockers, I’d have figured out I was gay a lot quicker” to Walky re: Billie/Jen), with Dorothy going to Joyce for a sweet time, and them going to eachother for frenetic “this would break a dryer” type sessions. Plausibly under Dina’s direction sometimes…

        2. Mewzard

          I’d draw a line from Dina to Joyce in addition, but I’m pretty sure Becky’d stab me with my own sharpie if I didn’t also draw a line from her to Joyce as well, lol.

      3. windowz97

        i see the appeal of dina/joe too!! i like their up-front respectful relationship & i think joe being pretty far away from dina on the “responsiveness to sex” spectrum would make a fwb deal a fun research-based venture for them. i think one of my fave parts of DoA is its recognition that there isnt really a perfect destined match, a lot of different pairings work well at different times and for different lengths :] and right now dina & becky are having a pretty good time

      4. Meagan

        Good stuff. Some of it I would never have thought of but…we do remember Dina making Joe blush, right?

      5. Clif

        Mine is chain-poly. It goes Beef – Sarah – Jacob – Lucy – Becky – Dina – Joe – Joyce – Dorothy – Walky – Amber // Amazigirl – Sal – Danny – Ethan – Asher – Jenifer – Ruth – Jason – Conquest

        Yes, Conquest is a little young, but Jason is not known for good decisions.

      6. Wraithy2773

        Sal and Danny are just amazingly adorable, just about every one of their story arcs are a 10/10 in my mind.

      7. Justnobodyfqwl

        I actually thought that Joe had a shocking amount of chemistry with Stacy- obviously ignoring the age gap/relationship with Richard/yada yada it’s a cartoon. (But that kind of speaks to her type!)

        I just think there’s something accidentally very funny about how well their dynamics matched up. Stacy had usually been portrayed as being a anxious as Amber, but when she’s around college kids her maturity and confidence shines through. Meanwhile, Joe is the opposite, a guy who was faking maturity and experience but started getting torn down and knocked down a peg into humility.

        When I say it out loud, it’s a lot of the same appeal of Joe/Joyce: you think Joe is gonna be horny to this cute innocent seeming girl, but actually the cute woman LOVES messing with him. Only with Stacy, you get the fun power dynamic of “guy who pretends to be sexually experienced vs a woman who IS way more experienced”.

        The very flippant and dismissive way she treated Joe’s apology donuts was also FASCINATING. It was such a subtle and off-hand thing, but it adds so much nuance to her character. Stacy had been portrayed on a spectrum from “Victim” to “Enabler”, but that one moment was very well written in showing us who she is. The way she’s just so casually dismissing the red flags, playing it off as “cute boys being boys”, and seemingly being MORE confident when around crappy guys ….it’s really good writing! You instantly understand what her taste is like and how she ends up in awful relationships.

        And… frankly, hitting on a 19 year old guy who looks like your recent divorced husband would genuinely be kinda lame and pathetic for Stacy to do. And that’s why it feels kinda real to her character. I think the fact that she sucks a little is the best thing about her.

        1. Miri

          Not just “looks like your recent divorced husband” though – “is your very recently ex-stepson”… ? Even though the relationship didn’t come into being until he was at college, ICK

        2. Doopyboop

          The thing with Stacy and the donuts will always fascinate me and I think it’s because, what with the comic being written, we cannot hear her tone. But for me, when she replied that Joe’s donut scheme to apologize about his list was “cute”, I didn’t see it as her actually thinking it is cute.

          https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/deserves-2/

          I just don’t see this as her thinking it’s actually adorable, or a positive quality. Like, if the comic had voice acting, I honestly imagine her tone would be a bit dry or sardonic. She views what he’s done as being immature. But, that’s also just me. I just find it interesting how many ways different people can read the same panel and dialogue.

        3. cbwroses

          I’m sorry, but I’m hung up on this: Only with Stacy, you get the fun power dynamic of “guy who pretends to be sexually experienced vs a woman who IS way more experienced”.

          Joe is lacking in actual romantic relationships, but his sexual experience is canon; I’m not sure where you’re getting that he’s actually inexperienced sexually.
          Because other than Dina’s moment talking about using him for sexual data making him blush, I can’t think of anything that would lead you to think this, and that situation was special, both in the person doing the talking and what she said.
          I don’t think that when Joe comes home from a night of 3somes, we’re supposed to believe he’s lying on his dick.

          And as for Stacy being way more experienced, she’s older and she was been married, twice now, but that doesn’t equal being more sexually experienced, especially if we assume Joe’s sexcapades are legitimate, which, again, I believe is supposed to be the case.
          Also, because I got caught up on this statement of yours, I reread all the Stacy strips, and, other than Richard talking about the two of them doing a lot of stuff as she’s 15 years younger than him and hot, I saw nothing referencing her sexual experience, let alone that would lead one to believe she’s super experienced compared to Joe.

          I’m not criticizing the dynamic in general, but I feel like you’re either misremembering something or I’m flat out missing something for this part of your comment to apply to this pairing.

        4. BBCC

          Well, Joe did admit he never actually had a threesome. It’s not much of a stretch to think some of his experience is exaggerated. How much we’re not sure.

        5. cbwroses

          I guess I was the one missing something, because I don’t remember this.

      8. Hoboturtle

        I’ll admit i was a lowkey Liz/Joyce. Mainly cause of your art.

    4. Sirksome

      You’ve actually brought me around to wanting Walky and Amber. They’re just very comfortable together. They seem to have the same energy and expectations from each other.

      Other than that I really wanted Jen and Dorothy to hate smooch but doesn’t seem likely anymore.

      Every other couple I wish a very (be infinitely worse than you already are)

      Oh and Leslie with any other woman that’s not Anna. I think her name is Anna.

      1. Yotomoe

        My toxic trait is I still want Leslie and Robin to work out somehow. Of all the Willis couples I want them to be a universe constant the most. I cried when they broke up in Shortpacked.

    5. NGPZ

      Dina X Becky,

      because Dina, obviously 😀

      1. NGPZ

        also their dynamic is diamond

        with the Power of Science on her side, of course the autistic empress makes an awesome dom

        she barely gotta lift a finger to get Becky to MELT >:D

    6. Doopyboop

      Dina/Becky – I shipped them as soon as Becky made Dina smile during the party and immediately cheered when they became a thing. They’re adorable and I’m happy to have amazing grey-ace representation in Dina.

      Sal/Carla – I gotta admit, back when it was hinted that Carla had a crush on Sal, I was so for it. Mainly because Carla is so high on herself, but was really, really desiring and crushing on Sal and I kinda liked how unimpressed Sal was with her. Seemed like it gave her a good challenge.

      Ethan/Danny – It’s definitely been blown sky high by Danny’s comment after Mike’s death, but before that point I really wanted them to work out.

      1. Meagan

        I also really wanted Ethan and Danny. Weird ship that never left the harbor.

        1. Yotomoe

          I was so mad when Danny somehow shoved his entire foot down his mouth on that one. Bro obliterated his own ship like he installed a self destruct button.

        2. Doopyboop

          He could have made a recovery but when he double downed by bringing up fucking Star Wars I wanted to reach through the comic and throttle him. “JUST TAKE THE L, MAN! DON’T COMPARE MIKE TO FUCKING DARTH VADER”

        3. C.T Phipps

          It was doomed anyway because Ethan had realized he was in love with Mike.

        4. Doopyboop

          I wouldn’t say it was necessarily doomed just because of that… mainly because 1) Ethan seemed to be embracing a more casual thing at the time and wasn’t trying to date anyone anyways so I doubt he would have dated Mike if he didn’t even try to become official after sleeping with him (this regret is likely part of why he’s so torn up in the present) and 2) at the risk of pulling a Danny… I mean… Mike IS dead now… so… if Ethan can embrace moving on in some way with Asher, he absolutely could have done so with Danny if he didn’t Danny it up.

    7. Danae Jay, Local Gay

      ngl once upon a time i liked the idea of carla making god girl whose name i’m too high to remember a better less horrible person through the power of lesbianism. between now and then god girl’s character arc and also the actual arc of real world history has disabused me of that.

      1. Yotomoe

        Carla and Mary is my never ever ship that I really really want. GOD that would be so much fun, especially the courtship phase where Mary’s entire world crashes around her.

        1. Sirksome

          I was one of them too. Nice to see some had the same idea. There was potential there for Mary x Carla when their rivalry was more cartoon stakes and less abhorrent transphobia and intolerance. I’ve also been informed it promoted a problematic trope of implying toxic bullies secretly like you.

          Now a days Mary is just too far gone as a character.

    8. Heatth

      Billie/Ruth. I don’t remember liking the pairing that much, but on a full reread I realized I love their dynamic. They balance on the edge of being terrible and really cute in a way I just keep hoping it will work out somehow.

    9. I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

      I have made fanart about my favorite dumbing of age rarepairs before but in general with the exception of maybe 1-2 ships i’m pretty down for whatever.

      Sal x Danny might be the only canon ship I have really strong feelings for and that’s partially because i was/still am a Sal x Danny fan back during my initial readings of the Walkyverse comics.

      1. I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

        oh goddamnit. HTML my beloathed

        1. Yotomoe

          Wow Malaya x Roz is a rarepair but I admire how niche it is. I can kinda see it in a twisted way.

        2. I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

          i can see them having a fun prep x jock punch-clock frenemies relationship. like they’re similar enough to bond over a lot of things while also being different enough to clash when it comes to each other’s flaws. plus both have strong enough personalities that i feel like they can take each other’s shit lol.

    10. I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

      I have made fanart for some of my favorite dumbing of age rarepairs before but in general with the exception of maybe 1-2 ships i’m pretty down for whatever.

      Sal x Danny might be the only canon ship I have really strong feelings for and that’s partially because i was a Sal x Danny fan back during my initial readings of the Walkyverse comics and partially because it’s very cute to see Sal get to let her guard down and be constantly vulnerable with someone.

      1. I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

        Also IDK if there’s just something softblocking my ability to share links bc I’ve been trying to share my rarepair fanart for a hot minute to no avail. C’mon I need those Malaya x Roz stocks to go up.

    11. Liara

      While I always keep my beautifully toxic suicide pact ship in my heart, it has been for a while been Dotty/Joyce, and honestly, since I hated Joe/Joyce and love drama I’m eating so flipping good right now.

      In terms of wholesomeness I just hope to Willis Dina and Beck stay together forever

    12. QueenofSodor

      Carla/Jocelyne is my personal crackship. I get a self-indulgent enjoyment of it from a “I’m a t4t lesbian and I think it’d be awesome if this comic’s most major trans women made out” perspective, but then when you actually think about it it feels like the kinda thing where the shared Gender Experience combined with the way their personalities would hypothetically mesh feels like it’d be interesting to explore. They’re both trolls with righteous streaks that manifest in different ways, and they would probably bounce off of each other well! …Then once you get past that, you reach an inner core of even hornier self-indulgence because I think Carla being spoiled by an older trans woman would be amazingly hot.

      while we’re here i also think i’m the only person on earth who’d be interested in a Joyce/Danny revisit, but ONLY after Danny’s transitioned. i think becoming a woman is the only thing that could make Joyce care even a little bit about Danny, lol

      1. QueenofSodor

        OH ALSO, I SOMEHOW COMPLETELY FORGOT! Dorothy/Becky is a good one too. The hate sex would go crazy, I’d inject that shit directly into my veins.

        1. NGPZ

          okay now THIS I’d wanna see

          I’d pay for that slipshine in a heartbeat >:3

    13. Jon

      My favorite ship is USS Fury NCC-93190, a Plymouth-class heavy frigate that punches way above her weight class in Team Fleet Operations.

    14. Yotomoe

      Oh I forgot Joe/Joyce
      I remember in a commentary for Roomies years ago Willis said something along the lines of him realizing that Joe and Joyce actually had a surprising amount of chemistry and wishing he had capitalized on it more at the time. I didn’t quite see it at the time but this past storyline has absolutely sold me on it.

    15. Doopyboop

      Another one I thought of, I actually like Ruth/Jason. The two bonding over not being American was really cute and it sold me on them. I like that it seems their vibe is kinda… casual? Like they’re both ‘take it or leave it’, but also presently happy just to vibe together and have a good time. I think Ruth needs that after last semester. No, they probably won’t get married, and they probably aren’t endgame, but as long as they make each other content for a while… I dunno, I just kinda like that.

      1. Bittersweet

        Ruth and Jason somehow making it to end game would be amazing and hilarious because they should be exactly as boring as Lucy/Walky except somehow neither of them being into it at all (and Jason showing up only on Leap Years and federal holidays for food) makes it weirdly enjoyable just for the absurdity. Like I do not ship these people unironically, it’s only because this appears to be their cosmic punishment.

        1. Doopyboop

          I would absolutely love that, honestly. Ruth and Jason in a very boring, functional marriage where they eat dinner together and barely mumble at each other. That’s HILARIOUS.

    16. BBCC

      In this comic? Sal/Danny because they’re very sweet. Sal/Marcie because I think they’d be very sweet with the touuuuuuch of angst that makes it delicious. Sal/Carla because I think they’d be cute and annoying. Sal/Asher because I sometimes don’t want sweet, I want toxic! Sal/Malaya for the same reason. Jason/Sal if I want toxic and feel nostalgic for Walkyverse. Sal/Jennifer and Sal/Ruth because of earlier comments. Sal/Tony because Walkyverse.

      …Okay, fine. I’ll get off Sal. Carla and Charlie have been cute so far and I like how Charlie challenges her without being pushy. I’m kinda digging the energy Booster and Ruth and Booster and Amber have. Dorothy/Walky is probably my favourite non-Sal ship because I have so many feelings over how he supports her and unfailingly believes in her. Joyce/Joe because of their whole arc. I have residual Malaya/Carla and Joe/Rachel feelings. Still ship the fuck out of Jennifer and Ruth. Marcie and Malaya seem happy thus far so who am I to judge? Still kinda like Ethan and Danny and Danny/AG but in a ‘those two are better off not together now but it was nice while it lasted’ kinda way. Ethan/Asher seems intriguing and had a huge drama bomb hanging off it. I’ll always love Mike/Amber but he had a good thing going with Ethan for like two seconds. Leslie and Robin but only in the Walkyverse. Kinda happy to see Lucy and Jacob give it a go but I still like the idea of him and Sarah. Though Tony is RAPIDLY rising the ranks of boyfrienddom so I’m gonna give him and Sarah their flowers. Of course the polycule in the dorm. I’m digging the energy for Jason/Ruth but very casually which I think fits. Becky/Dina 4ever of course and I kinda like Becky/Joyce in a ‘what could’ve been’ way. Walky/Amber was really cute too! Jennifer/Alice could be interesting if it goes anywhere. I have a kinda crackship Roz/Sal for ONE DATE where they agree to piss off each other’s families for kicks. Since you brought it up, I do think Dina and Joe have cool chemistry if they’re ever down to fuck around and find out.

      My crackship of choice is Sarah/Dorothy or Sarah/Danny because they’re two of the people Sarah actually likes.

      ….I contain MULTITUDES okay?

    “That sounds a little gay, dude.”

    “It IS a little gay, dude.”

    Anyway calling it now: Jocelyne, somehow under the mistaken belief that Joyrothy were honest to Joe about The Big Kiss, is gonna accidentally break the news to someone.

    1. Yotomoe

      God I love the TFS Androids. And the regular DB androids. Best thing about the Cell arc.

  26. Slartibeast Button, BIA

    They should do some more “research.” Just to make sure.

    1. Clif

      For Science!

    2. NGPZ

      Joyce should ask Dina for some pointers there XD <3

  27. Lingo

    Billie: “Don’t be ridiculous! Sleeping with a few girls now and again doesn’t make you the least bit gay.”

    1. Heatth

      Yeah. Joyce is as straight as Billie.

  28. Clif

    So, do we have a book title or what?

    1. Jon

      I threw it out on his Bsky link to this strip, and he replied that it’d make a great companion piece to Book 5: Hey Guess What, I’m a Lesbian. 😀

  29. windowz97

    Auuouauughhhh big spoon Joyce… Them holding handssssss while they sleep… Also Dorothy’s blush in the last frame teehee

    1. windowz97

      also sorry willis for my to-be-moderated comment from my wrong email that i also accidentally reported </3

    Was waiting for this one to come out to put this here.

    I’ve had drawing this on the brain recently for, obviously, no particular reason.

    1. Yotomoe

      Oooooh NICE ART!

    2. ZombieKyrik

      That’s some fantastic fanart; I would love to see the whole cast done in that style.

  33. EpochFlame

    joyce admits she’s a bit gay, colorized

  34. Amós Batista

    Dorothy looks like healed

    1. Axel

      don’t worry, she’ll be back to normal when she wakes up

      1. HueSatLight

        Trauma nightmare incoming.

  35. Liara

    God are they cute and gayyyyy

  36. BYM!

    This has made me feral, I will go live in the woods now

  37. Wendy

    I’m mad because I really don’t like the way they’re getting together (cheating on their actual current partners). And I love love loved Joe/Joyce so I’m sad to see that ship sink. But. These two are…SO gotdamn cute. The conflict of it all!!

  38. FacelessDeviant

    And so, the cheating continues

  39. Tricia

    Just a reminder that they didn’t shower and reek of tear gas.

    And Joyce still has Joe’s ween on her breath.

    1. ZombieKyrik

      We didn’t see them get ready for bed; just climb into the bed to watch cartoons, so there’s a good chance they remembered to brush their teeth, and to shower, before sleeping.

      1. Tricia

        They showered and then changed back into the exact same tear-gas covered clothing?

  40. Derek

    have you ever seen a ship deployed so badly it actively turns you homophobic
    *editor’s note: this is said in a hyperbolic tone for the purposes of comedy and also to riff on the people last week/two weeks ago who kept declaring anyone who doesn’t find this cute is a homophobe

    1. Nadamás

      Those were talking about people who were actually being homophobic. Or biphobic as it were.

      1. Derek

        are you sure about that? because I saw more than one reply to comments saying stuff like “this sucks” with accusations of homophobia.

        1. HueSatLight

          they’re doing it again.

    2. Shiro

      How tragic that you’re being forced at gunpoint to keep navigating to this site to witness it

  41. Sajuuk-Khar

    Wait a minute, they’re gay????? Like, for EACH OTHER???????

    1. Adam Black

      No.

      No, no, no no no.
      No

      It’s just a metaphor. For being happy.

      With girls having sex with each other. It’s not real life.

  42. Kyulen

    I see we’re back to the cheating. I would’ve been fine with seeing more of what others characters are doing instead at this point.

    1. Megan

      i win some you lose some

    2. BMBLB

      Yeah, if this arc becomes the reason Joe backslides and goes full sleazeball, undoing all the good work he’s been putting in, I might be done…

    3. Seralyna

      I mean, yeah. it’s an arc about characters cheating, they’re gonna be doing it for a while because it’s like, what the story is currently about.

  43. Fresh

    It’s such a shame that with getting further from religion, Joyce also forgot the good lessons Christianity has about interpersonal romance and lust :\

    Which is 100% might be what D.Willis intends to lead to, and how things might have been fine if they were straight(lol) about it instead of these last chapters.

    1. Seralyna

      I think “Christianty’s lessons on romance and lust” are in like the top 5 worst things about it.

      1. Doopyboop

        Yeah I was trying to imagine what Christianity has said about lust and from my experience here in the Southern Baptist and Pentecostal churches, their lessons on lust are basically “lust BAD. sex BAD. sex only good for BABIES. D< "

        1. Antisolanum

          I’m hearing that in TF2 Heavy’s voice

    2. FireprincessLily

      I’d kill to post the gif of the dog doing the “HUH?” face… cause HUH!?

    3. Adam Black

      You thought Joyce carrying on about Dorothy eaten by lustwolves and fear to touch her vulva , was good Christianity ?

      Did you not pay attention in Gender studies? Or the last 10 years of comics?

  44. Megan

    people who don’t like seeing amoral modes of affection realize they don’t need to keep reading and commenting every week right? like if you’re so disgusted by messy queers in the webcomic about being queer and messy, you don’t actually need to leave daily comments about it, you literally have other stuff going on. write that novel, build that gundam model, i believe in you. just do whatever your life leads you towards quietly, you’re getting *so* annoying fr fr

    1. Tricia

      And you don’t need to leave comments whining about people offering negative feedback. You don’t need to read their comments, so stop complaining.

      1. Taffy

        And you don’t need to whine about people whining, let’s see how fucking recursive we can get this.

        1. Doopyboop

          I hate that people make comments at all! Why can we not simply read the comic and then express no opinion, desires, or observations in any regard? Just good old fashioned staring at a wall and watching paint dry! That’s what we need in these trying times!

  45. Kaz

    Need an edit of the last panel being changed to say whatever Kinsey Scale number she would be

  46. Nadamás

    Just for the the hell of it: I recently finished this anime mini series xalled Takopi original din snd i recommend you check it out if you wanna be emotionally devastated.

  47. FireprincessLily

    JOYCE IS THE BIG SPOON! The Quiet, timid, feels the need to hide half the time is the big spoon! Dorothy who always feels like she needs to be in control is the little spoon. THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME!

  48. Envy

    How far do you think they’re gonna get before Sarah reminds them she’s in the room too?

    1. Needfuldoer

      Or until Dorothy’s mommying wears on Joyce’s nerves again.

      1. Doopyboop

        please no please no please no please they’re basically about to date now please don’t call it ‘mommying’ the guy that ships them as a mom/daughter incest ship is gonna come back and goon all over the place

  49. Acher4

    <3 <3 <3

  50. ADLegend21

    so Joe and Walky are gonna be devastated, Becky will feel hurt by Dorothy getting Joyce and that might hurt Dina, Lucy will get to be Smug over Walky, and Danny will get to be smug over Dorothy also being Bisexual.

    am I missing any potential dominos?

  51. AbacusWizard

    I bet the next Future Space Force Captain Julia Gray storyline is gonna be *amazing*.

  52. BBCC

    Well, yeah, that’s pretty stark evidence there.

  53. showler

    I”mma try it.

    “Damn your sudden and immediate begayal, Willis!”
