    UH OH JOYCE PSL

  2. Buckybone

    Caramel? Tasty…

    1. Blob Marley

      oh, that gravatar

      1. Buckybone

        Meh, I just have a weakness for caramel. Take that whichever way you want to.

        1. Groove

          “Take that whichever way you want to.”

          I imagine the Joyce-sploosh-grav saying that in a different sense.

    2. Nee Hou

      Caramel?
      I thought Chewy was larger and hairy?

      1. Bratty Roger

        Like a grizzly-bear mixed with a gorilla?

  3. David Herbert

    She’s getting a lady boner. Now she doesn’t know what to think.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      An unusually long lady-boner…

      1. Rex Hondo

        I believe the word she’s looking for is “sploosh.”

        1. Kingoyks

          “Sploosh”? Peaches and Cream?

        2. Mo

          She likes the tingle.

        3. Jackal

          Holes reference. Joyce must be friends with Zero

    2. Luciasar

      4th panel joyce needs to be a Gravatar. Please.

      1. Buckybone

        Got it.

        1. Buckybone

          Or not…

        2. Buckybone

          Disregard last post…

        3. Anthrax451

          Each post is staring at the next.. and blushing..

    3. David Herbert

      Also, she wants to rub his creamy centre.

      That… didn’t sound as gross in my head.

      1. Shippy McShipper

        “Say, how many licks to the center of a Walkerton?”

        1. Tandel

          One: applied sensually on a McNugget in his presence.

  4. Yotomoe

    Well…I bet he’s sticky enough to have been.

  5. Mkvenner

    mmmmmmmm…Caramel.

  6. Sensedog

    At least she knows what she likes.

    1. Sensedog

      And to add to that, does Dorothy like whipped cream with her caramel?

      Walky may yet find out in the near future.

      1. MrSmiley

        That will be one awesomely topped desert.
        long stick of caramel with some cream on top.
        😀

        1. AckAckAck

          And with these words, the rule 34 folks are busy at works!

      2. MrSmiley

        That will be one awesomely topped desert.
        long stick of caramel with some cream on top.
        😀

  7. Plasma Mongoose

    Caramel McNuggets.

    1. Aizat

      So, who is it this time, Plas?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        My grav? Greta Gravity from the wecomic Spinnerette.

        1. Dave McCoy

          What webcomic DON’T you read? 😀

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I have about a dozen webcomics I check out each day, a few I check each week and about two dozen I check from time to time.

        3. dranorter

          Ha I have about 50 I check every day, 130 I check every week (including the 50) 😛

        4. Slagathor

          Check out 8-bit theater. It ran for 9 years before the story line ended. Its a spoof of the original final fantasy

        5. L

          You HAD to go with Greta huh? No love for Mecha Maid? 😛

        6. madd

          Greta has a certain gravitas … or at least, her chest does.

        7. L

          Greta Gravity has gravitas? Groovy.

        8. Raiser

          Would certainly explain why so many pairs of eyes tend to drift in that direction.

        9. Roborat

          And the bigger the chest, the bigger the gravity. Sort of an evil Powergirl

        10. L

          They’re Eezo boobs, yeah, I get it.

        11. TSED

          I’d say that she has “gravitatas.”

        12. Plasma Mongoose

          I likes what I likes!

        13. Osaru Sensei

          Spinnerette! ftw.

        14. Flimsyfishy

          I totally forgot about spinnerette… Thanks for jogging my memory.

        15. Roborat

          Finally, you used one I knew. I love Spinnerette.

        16. HiEv

          Congratulations.

          Apparently linking from here + busty avatar = site goes down. 😛

          Coincidence or the “Willis Fan Effect”?

    2. Azumango

      I would do this when my little brother ordered apple slices and chicken nuggets. It was *okay*

  8. Tristan J

    Well, I was close.

    http://randomfanboy.tumblr.com/post/21473927584/the-lesson-here-is-that-im-incredibly-immature

    1. Azumango

      The middle panel makes me so happy you don’t even

  9. Pagannerd

    … And now I want to lick a webcomic character to find out if he tastes like caramel too. I have the strangest brain…

    1. Yotomoe

      He probably takes computer screen or led lights

    2. Bickendan

      I suspect you’ve read Sideways Stories from Wayside School.
      And liked the flavor “Kathy”.

      1. Yotomoe

        I dunno. I’ve heard Mauricia flavor is pretty good.

        1. lightsabermario

          Btw, Your nose a ferret.

        2. TJ from Baltimore

          But I thought my nose a hamster! (And why do I remember that after all these years?)

        3. Rognik

          Everyone is except Sammy. Because he’s dead.

        4. Yotomoe

          rats

    3. MM

      It’s Walky. He probably tastes like Nachitos.

    4. Azumango

      What other webcomic characters would have peculiar tastes?

      1. Azumango

        Would taste peculiar, I mean.

        1. Buckybone

          Grace, from EGS. I think he would taste suspiciously like squirrel…

        2. Raiser

          Well, being tolougol seyunolu, I wager she’d taste different depending on form.

          Squirrel one moment, cat-hedgehog the next, Tedd-flavor lator…

        3. Usayasha

          Mike probably tastes like evil.
          Unless you’re making out with him; his tongue has the distinct flavour of your mother.

    5. ryan

      i heard taye diggs tastes like chocolate.

      1. madd

        That’s what his wife says.

  10. Yotomoe

    snaps fingers* Joyce. My eyes are up here

    1. Tom T.

      In panel 1, was he wiping his mouth with his hoodie?

      1. luke

        putting his hoodie on, it’s supposed to explain why he’s showing some skin, must be a small-sized shirt to show much skin when putting a hoodie on!

        1. Shippy McShipper

          Well, it WAS tied to his waist. Maybe he pulled them both together?

  11. Aizat

    And he got this sculpted physique by eating McNuggets?

    1. Yotomoe

      Mcdonald’s is SO bad for you that eating a lot of it has the opposite effect of eating a lot of junk food. your body atrophes and dies off.

    2. Sensedog

      I get the impression that Walky is one of those lucky individuals who has a fast metabolism.

      1. Aizat

        Walky as the Flash? Hmmmmm……

        1. AliaPie

          More like Jughead from Archie comics.

      2. Barf Ninjason

        And don’t forget he’s like 17 or 18 here, right? Young enough for terrible diet to not really affect physique and metabolism much yet.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Well he is going to discover that by the last year of uni, he will need to start watching his diet.

        2. Wack'd

          Um, speak for yourself. I’m Walky’s age and I have a massive gut to put on before I go to college and the Freshman 15 makes it even more difficult.

  12. Doctor_Who

    I think Billie should count this as a win. Sure, Walky was shirtless before she convinced him to let himself be buried in the sand, but Dorothy no doubt got a much better look at him thanks to that.

    1. Historyman68

      That’s a very good point.

  13. Observer

    One of the ads on this strip was for a Milky Way candy bar. I found it appropriate.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      All I have is a Freedom Funiture ad and a company that designs logos.

      1. Roborat

        I got some ad for an All-Bran bar. How do they know how old I am?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          I know I checked out a Freedom Funiture site a few days earlier, maybe you did the same with All-Bran or articles mentioning fibre perhaps.

    2. Jasmine

      Ooh, thanks for the heads up — I didn’t even realize I had AdBlock on.

      (So naturally I get no such interesting ads. But still.)

  14. Conuzor

    Joyce just contracted a case of the Joe-Eyebrows!

    1. Yotomoe

      I just want someone to walk by and take them. so they can be TWICE as emotive.

    2. Aizat

      It should be dubbed as “Joebrows”

  15. Ryan Balis

    I had overcome my Joyce love addiction and you come with this??

    Shy Joyce is beautiful <3

  16. Blob Marley

    Damn, Walky. You got DEM PECS.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Walky certainly isn’t at the bottom of the PECSing order.

      1. Yotomoe

        he’s ABout to be at the top if he keeps this up

    2. Historyman68

      PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS PECS

  17. Kensou

    Joyce, Joyce… what’s wrong with “smart aleck”? It’s only been around for more than a century, and avoids referencing any evil, evil body parts…

    1. Jackson

      A high school friend of mine used to use the expression “smart-butt” ironically. As well as “bad-butt.”

      It was kind of a weird-butt tendency, but whatever.

  18. Uniqueantique

    Sexual inuendo or religion belief that is not fundimental, either one work fine as a muffler on Joyce. Of course having Walky overhear her mean comment only compounds the embarassment.

  19. Blob Marley

    Also, he’s not sculpted out of caramel. He just spilled a bunch on himself before the beach trip.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      So Walky’s muscles are really just strategically placed dried sauce?

      1. Yotomoe

        and just like that Yotomoe got an idea.
        A stupid idea
        Yotomoe got a stupid, dumb, messy idea.

        1. Doctor_Who

          And his muscles grew three sizes that day. And were delicious.

        2. Buckybone

          Three sizes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible.

        3. mechaqua

          If the idea involves Ravioli, Fruity pebbles, Cherry Garcia and skillet, don’t try it trust me it won’t end well for you.

        4. Blob Marley

          Do I… do I want to know?

        5. Raiser

          No, no, Skrillex, not Skillet.

        6. Kryss LaBryn

          Skittles?

          Taste the rainbow, man.

        7. mechaqua

          No I meant “a skillet” also you don’t want to know, I will say well I was not directly responsible I was involved.

        8. Ancestral Hamster

          Is it making a 1:1 scale model of Walky out of caramel?

  20. Doctor_Who

    Since no one else has mentioned her yet, what’s Roz’s deal in panel one? she looks worried about something.

    “Hmmm, did I mix up the vibrator I wear as a hat with the one I don’t again?”

    1. Jetstream

      Or maybe concerned about Dorothy’s rage reaction to her conversation, and Joyce’s desperate “drop the subject.”

      Ain’t Roz’s first rodeo. She can do simple social arithmetic.

    2. shoeboxjeddy

      Wondering what happened to Joyce is my guess. Remember the idea that “something” happened was brought up but quickly shushed.

    3. Yotomoe

      did I restock on condoms? I think I need another 300 to last the week

  21. Imska

    This.

    Forever and ever.

  22. Katana

    Hm. I wonder if I will be the first one to take that picture and make a simple “It’s simple. We kill the Batman.”

    1. Shippy McShipper

      You mean panels 2 and 3, right? I can see it.
      But it has to be “We kill a man dressed like a bat”.

  23. MR C

    walky did have a pretty sweet set-o’ abs

  24. Eve

    So he gets As without trying and has a great body despite eating all those mcnuggets

    Shit I want whatever secret he has

    1. Doctor_Who

      Cartoons. You must watch at least six hours per day of cartoons.

      I’m up to about four myself. Can’t say I’ve noticed any sweet abs developing yet, but I do have some soft blubbery growth in my stomach area. I assume this will convert into abs as my cartoon consumption increases, as long as I keep my McNugget intake up as well.

      1. Aizat

        And make sure they’re good ones. Bad ones are not good for you.

    2. Yotomoe

      Walky doesn’t have to do anything ever and good stuff will fall into his lap. He could take a nap and win the nobel prize.

      1. Historyman68

        Nah, I think he works hard, he just doesn’t stress about it much. And he did make an effort for Dorothy, he was confident enough to offer her friendship, flirting, and cartoons.

  25. Romanticide

    And now Joyce has to see for herself… Dorothy… good job 😉

  26. MarcinMN

    See? When you come down to it…it’s always about the looks. Even with the women. =P

    1. MarcinMN

      Also: Just wait, Dorothy. Wait until he’s in his 30s and then see if his abs get along as well with his McNugget habit….

      1. RandomWebcomicsJunkie

        Correction: It’s often about the looks. Some of us, of all genders, are truly not bothered one way or the other.

        1. RandomWebcomicsJunkie

          Aaaand the Joe grav makes that comment seem somehow creepy. Fantastic. 😛

    2. Aizat

      And women think men are shallow.

      1. Shippy McShipper

        Well, to be fair, we are.

        1. Raiser

          Amen to that.

          I love a woman with big, broad interests.

        2. RandomWebcomicsJunkie

          And tracts of land, yeah?

        3. Rognik

          I too am interested in a woman with a large financial portfolio and large amounts of land. It would be perfect for my tree farm!

          What, like you all weren’t thinking the same!

        4. N0083rP00F

          Rhubarb actually …..

    3. agentksilver

      Uhm…yes? Was it ever not? I have an extremely specific list of what I look for, physically, in a guy. Dark hair. Blue eyes, but bright brown eyes are acceptable. Thin face. Glasses are a huge plus. Clothes — not fashionable, but not slobby either. Physic should be less than impressive, but he shouldn’t be fat either. Good posture, very nice smile. He should ALSO be very intellectual and curious, and interested in science and/or math, and very kind, and yeah, financially independent. And interested in cooking and/or experimenting with food.

      Physical appearances can say a lot about a person. The hair/eye color and thin face is a thing that’s entirely instinctual for me and entirely genetic for him, but most of what I select in the physical appearance of my dude says a lot about his personality. If he maintains good hygiene, he probably maintains his house. If he maintains his house, he can maintain his life. If he goes overboard in caring about his appearance — cologne, oversculpted figure, pricey designer clothes — well obviously looks are a bigger priority to him than experiencing the rest of what life has to offer. Glasses are an indicator that he’s intellectual, so hipsters have completely thrown me off my sexual track, because they’re fairly shallow as a whole. (I don’t know why glasses make someone seem smarter, they just do)

      There is a layer of truth to superficiality. Dorothy values someone who takes care of himself, which a decent physique generally indicates, at least in the first few stages of a relationship when it’s all instincts talking. Danny was clingy and dependent on her, so she dumped him. Also, yeah, she’s probably looking for something easy after Danny.

  27. Aizat

    What is Roz thinking about?

    1. mechaqua

      Why wasn’t Dorothy and Walky asked to leave Gender Studies when they interrupted the class for frivolous reasons?

      1. Historyman68

        Because they didn’t make anybody uncomfortable enough for them to ask them to leave.

        1. Rex Hondo

          That and, unlike Mike, they’re actually registered for the class.

        2. Raiser

          Plus their interruption could be deemed helpful to the study, considering it was essentially about shucking prescribed relationship stereotypes.

    2. ryan

      “is that a real person sitting next to me, or is it a mannequin?”

  28. Jimmy

    It’s very sad to be jealous of a comic strip character who can eat whatever he wants and still be in great shape, whereas I work so hard at it but still can’t get rid of my gut haha.

  29. Aizat

    My, my. Is Joyce imagining Walky’s pecs?

  30. Vivvav

    “Did you whisper to her that the world’s older than 6,000 years?”
    OWNED. SUCK IT, JOYCE!

    1. ASP3CT

      Don’t give her any ideas, now…

  31. Medinoc

    Oh yeah, she was definitely looking at his chest!

    1. Maycroft

      She wants a piece of that caramel.

  32. iSaidCandleja-

    Now I wonder how McNuggets dipped in caramel taste. But I’m almost afraid to try it because it might be delicious.

    1. Rex Hondo

      My daughter always seemed to enjoy it. But then, kids are weird.

      1. N0083rP00F

        Not as weird as peanutbutter and honey or ever weirder .. Toasted egg-loaf with honey, cheese and liverwurst, grilled of course … honey and cheese I could handle but the liverwurst? =/

  33. Dierna

    Walky… she’s a non-denom not a creationist… and if she was there’s a certain dinosaur loving gal who would GLADLY try to change her mind…

    1. David

      Those terms are not mutually exclusive. I would know.

    2. RandomWebcomicsJunkie

      Plus not all creationists are of the wacky Young Earth variety. Although I can readily believe that Joyce is one who’s been taught that ‘evolution’ is a dirty word and the world really was made six millenia ago.

      1. Stevarious

        Frequently the wackiest creationists and other off-the-rails believers will go non-denominational, because none of the ‘official’ denominations are wacky enough for them.

  34. lightsabermario

    Hang on. This “sculpted out of caramel” phrase sounds like a bad thing! If you’re sculpted out of marble, it means your muscles are extremely distinct, well-shaped, and strong. But hearing “sculpted out of caramel” sounds to me like an amorphous blob, slow-moving, unable to hold its own shape, and sticky all over. That doesn’t sound attractive at all! Although it would make more sense in describing someone who only eats Mcnuggets.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I think you are on the right track, it kinda reminds me of that phrase “Built like a brick shithouse”, which for some strange reason is considered complementary despite the fact that brick shithouses are not all that nice to look at.

      1. Yotomoe

        well if caramel is chilled and hardened to a certain degree it’s pretty solid and won’t really be that amorphous. There are different kinds of caramel.

        1. fellixe

          So of he keeps his cool and stays in shape he can hold himself together.

        2. Raiser

          Zing.

    2. Pat

      …How is caramel slower-moving than marble?

  35. ShifterComic

    “That guy I willingly walk to class with and eat lunch with everyday is SO AWFUL. You could do so much better. Come on Walky, it’s time for dinner.”

    1. Henry

      Yeah, but see, Walky is just someone she knows. She’s unused to anyone (much less, apparently, now herself) harboring PSL for him.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        If one toon harbours lust for another toon, does it count as PSL?

        1. Buckybone

          Maybe if it happened in an alternate universe…

        2. Shippy McShipper

          Oh, are we troping? If they are both in the same universe it’s UST. Until it resolves obviously. But if one of them was more ficticional than the other, then yes, that would be PSL. No reason why a ficticional person can’t harbor (harbour?) that.

  36. AliaPie

    Dude Joyce is totally checking Walky out in that last panel.

    Also, Walky is a tall glass of chocolate muscle milk, and no one can convince me otherwise.

  37. madd

    Joyce is feeling a little funny … like when she used to climb the rope in gym class.

    1. Groove

      Why don’t you just go talk to him, talk to him…talk to him……talk to him……..

      Du-Dun-Dun Do-Doo-Doo-Do Do-Doo-Doo-Do

      FOXY

  38. Tenn

    In case we want to do things with that third panel? I think you mean “because”. 😛

    First panel, bottom right: It’s TranDanny!

    1. Yotomoe

      He’s taking the breakup really hard

      1. Tenn

        Nah, he seems to be over the breakup. Maybe Amber told him “I, uh, happen to know that Amazi-Girl is really only into, uh, other girls. Yeah. She’s gay. You should just give up on her.”

  39. Xartarin

    I was gonna look back at the beach scene, but both the ad at the top AND the banner conveniently displayed it already! Thanks, Dumbing of Age!

    1. Anthrax451

      Yeah, I noticed that too, and Dorothy staring from behind.

  40. milk experiment

    Now I have the Suzanne Vega song “Caramel” stuck in my head. Given the look on Joyce’s face, it seems like a pretty good fit. 🙂

    1. Shippy McShipper

      That’s a bit odd. I would wager that 90% of internetians would get “caramelldansen”.

  41. Crumplepunch

    That was surprisingly cutting for Walky. I approve.

  42. Sporkaganza

    So he has a high butt IQ?

  43. Chibi Squirt

    This makes my old soul cackle. Caramel!

  44. chumpersonable

    Dang, that was some creationism-burn that Walky pulled out there.
    I honestly didn’t think he had that level of snark in him.
    And Dorothy has a point. Who wouldn’t want some of that chiseled Walky action?

  45. ADHadh

    The only thing better than Walky’s caramel pecs are Sal’s caramel boobs.

  46. Beachfox

    Yesssssss…… Shirtless Walky = Fanservice.

    Flash of Walky belly == Fanservice!

    Sculpted caramel. I must remember that one.

  47. KresyAntics

    Now, all walky will have to do to completely break Joyce is to smack her butt and say… Now who’s the smart butt… Your butt is smarting 😀

  48. Jimbo

    floating eyebrows in the fourth panel! Woot!

  49. DragoonChris

    So she really was checking him out at the beach.

  50. Scot

    lol, white chicks

  51. John Madden

    ‘Smart-butt’? Really?

  52. Null Set

    Walky eats his weight in caramel every 10 months. Coincidence? Almost certainly…

  53. OmegaDez

    Pale chick is pale.

  54. newllend

    Well joyce, still a lot better than most of the guys you’ve had a thing for.

  55. DarkoNeko
