    ’nuff said. 🙂

    1. Paul Indrome

      … though I feel like “fuckin’ introducing” them would be skippin’ a few steps. Oo

      1. Tan

        In my head, because you are both Sarah-gravatars, this is her internal debate on the matter.

        1. Maxy

          And now it’s a threesome.

        2. Henry

          And that sounds exactly like something Joe (especially with the expression on your grav) would say.

          A comment chain composed of nothing but perfect gravs. (Except mine, now.)

        3. Djer

          I dunno…*I* wasn’t expecting it.

        4. Roborat

          Nobody expects a chain of perfect gravs!

  2. TheOthin

    A person Sarah doesn’t hate!

    1. David Herbert

      Her lady boner is over powering her misery.

      1. AngryBamboo

        yeah, but just wait, soon he’ll start dating raidah and she’ll get a colossal MISERY GIRL BONER!!!!

    2. Aeron

      Doesn’t hate enough.

  3. Doctor_Who

    “What other hot guys have you been hiding from me?!”

    1. Yotomoe

      Joyce is like a hot dude magnet. She just doesn’t realize it.

      1. GoldStarz

        Joyce once met a guy who accidentally set himself on fire.

        1. GoldStarz

          I am tired and unfunny tonight.

        2. Barf Ninjason

          Gold star for effort though.

        3. GoldStarz

          Why am I getting myself for effort?

        4. Thrair

          It’s not a reward, ‘s why. 😛

        5. Thrair

          To clarify, lest that come across too harsh: You got something from Mike. THIS IS NEVER A GOOD THING.

        6. Barf Ninjason

          Holy crape, I didn’t even notice that was your name.

        7. someguywithakatana

          We all still love you

      2. Mr. Bulbmin

        So, basically, a gender-reversed version of this person I know, Sisko:
        Knows way too many good-looking members of the opposite sex (and knows possible ways of courting said people), yet never does a single thing in pursuit.

        1. Cybersnark

          Ben or Jake?

        2. Doctor_Who

          I can’t possibly imagine what that’s like.

    2. Philippe G.

      “There this guy named Manny in my biology class, he seems nice.”

  4. Tunaro

    I’m beginnin’ ta think Sarah’s just a mite pent up…

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      She needs to release some of that sexual tension… if only Frank-N-Furter was around. 😀

      1. MM

        I’m pretty sure any encounter between Sarah and Frank-N-Furter would end with a baseball bat. And not the innuendo variety.

        1. Tunaro

          It can end with both. Honestly, I’d be surprised if it didn’t.

      2. rachel

        she could power a moon laser with that shit man

    2. Yotomoe

      All that being cynical does not help you get laid, I’ll tell you what.

      1. Tunaro

        I don’t know about that; Mike manages to use it fairly effectively when he wants to.

      2. hmrc4evr

        Being a nice guy doesn’t help either.

        1. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

          Uh oh, here we go…

        2. Yotomoe

          Sure it does. I mean I’m a nice guy and I’m still a virgin. But I’m sure other nice guys can tell you it worked out :D.
          (actually I’m kind of a jerk but I used to be nice. I try to be nice)

        3. insomniac

          “Being nice doesn’t help you get laid” is like “not flashing the interviewer doesn’t help you get a job.”

          I mean, it definitely doesn’t hurt…

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Like cold is the absence of heat, niceness is the absence of assholiness.

        5. insomniac

          Right. And if the only thing going for you is “I’m not much of an asshole,” you might want to dial your expectations down a few notches.

        6. ninja_jesus

          It has little to do with being nice and more to do with being confident and secure in yourself, neither of which are usually present within the “stereotypical nice guy”.

        7. Mr. Bulbmin

          It’s a combination of appearance, common interest, and dumb luck that powers relationships.

          Probably why I don’t have many.

        8. JustDucky

          I know plenty of nice guys who have no trouble getting laid. So if you’re a nice guy who no one wants to have sex with, you might want to check in with your friends to find out how you’re sabotaging yourself. Remember, the common denominator in your failed pursuits is you.

        9. davidbreslin101

          As a fairly amiable guy who, for entirely unrelated reasons, is appalling at teh romance, I can second this. It hurts less once you stop telling yourself some tragic tale of neglected virtue and start being matter-of-fact about the problem. Funny, that.

        10. JustDucky

          You’re also a lot more likely to be able to do something about it.

          If someone believes that he’s a nice (although not amazingly hot) guy and women only sleep with amazingly hot assholes, there’s not much he can do about that. That assumption set will prompt him to view himself as a victim of circumstances entirely beyond his control.

          If, on the other hand, he checks in with other people and learns that he is doing things that many women find off-putting (for example, giving strangers “compliments” on their body parts or approaching women who, through their body language, are telling the people around them that they do not want to be approached) then he can take steps to change some of his behaviors. And that might help.

        11. begbert2

          Being a nice guy doesn’t help in the same way that a blank paper isn’t an essay. It’s the *baseline*. You wanna get laid, you gotta have something more about you that draws in the ladies. And that entitled feeling that merely being nice should be getting you some won’t be helpful.

          Disclaimer: I am just guessing here, since I am a semi-nice guy who doesn’t get ladies, though I’m also not on the prowl, for reasons.

        12. JustDucky

          I’d argue that anyone who feels entitled to another person’s body really isn’t all that nice to begin with.

        13. JustDucky

          (Not disagreeing with you, by the way. Just wanted to add that.)

        14. Lauren

          Indeed.
          It’s annoying to hear guys complaining about not getting laid despite being nice or paying for dinner. That entitlement isn’t nice at all and it’s annoying when those guys claim to be “nice guys” and it’s the woman’s fault. It makes men in general look bad.

      3. Doctor_Who

        Really? Damn, I may have to rethink my personality.

        1. Roborat

          Yup, good time to get out of that box.

    3. nothri

      “I’m beginnin’ ta think Sarah’s just a mite pent up…”

      That noise you hear in the distance is me saying “Well, no duh” so loud it is carrying across the whole of creation. That, or an air raid siren. Duck and cover, people.

    4. Roborat

      Yes, she badly needs an electronic boyfriend at a minimum, however, she is so pent up she would probably destroy it.

  5. David Herbert

    Joyce, you are a terrible wingman. Maybe Joe can teach a course.

    1. timemonkey

      But Joe is also a terrible wingman. Worst wingman ever as I recall.

      1. Yotomoe

        No. He’s just trying to wingman for the worst bachelor ever!

        1. timemonkey

          Danny is a chick magnet for reasons only Willis understands. He needs no wingman.

        2. taekwondogirl

          Oh come on, you have to admit that Joe screwed up there. If it wasn’t true, Joe wouldn’t have been so hurt by it.

        3. Psycho

          But Joe is a terrible wingman. If you ever went on a double date with him, His most likely course of action would be to leave with both girls for a threesome while you’re in the bathroom of whatever place you’re at.

        4. Lauren

          He’d be a great wingman if you’re a girl *cough*threesome*cough*

    2. Tunaro

      Not sure that would be a good idea
      http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/05-media-rumble/wingman-2/

      1. Badeyes

        The last known sighting of Danny with balls.

        1. taekwondogirl

          Nope, there was a time after that one where he made Dorothy pick between shoes for Walky or interviewing him about Amazi-Girl.

        2. begbert2

          Honestly I think talking to Sal took balls. I don’t care if he believed that she was Amazigirl, she wasn’t exactly being inviting. (And as a side note, there are limits to how far you should believe what people tell you, even ones that are allegedly reporters who were known to be investigating this very subject.)

        3. James

          That depends on whether you believe there’s a difference between ballsiness and stupidity.

        4. begbert2

          Of course there’s a difference; there’s a wide variety of stupidity that doesn’t require any balls at all.

  6. LiaHansen

    Yay! Sarah plotline!

    1. saltchocolate

      Ditto!

    2. taekwondogirl

      MORE SARAH! SARAH ALL THE TIME!

      ..please.

    3. N0083rP00F

      Go now,
      Dont look back we’ve drawn the line,
      Move on,
      Its no good to go back in time,
      Oh I would never find another girl like you,
      For happy endings it takes two,
      With fire and ice,
      Oooooh yea

      (Chorus)

      Sarah,
      Storms are brewing in your eyes,
      Sarah,
      Now I can realize
      Sarah,
      You’re like a beauty queen
      Sarah,

  7. Seerow

    Glad to see Sarah’s priorities are straight.

    1. ASD

      ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I see what you did there.

  8. Yotomoe

    DID YOU SEE HIS TANGERINE LIPS!? YOU KNOW I LOVE TANGERINES!!!

  9. KingMabel

    Joyce has been upgraded to wingman!

    1. Regalli

      *Pokemon evolution theme plays*

      1. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this…”

        1. Barf Ninjason

          What, take this Hitachi Magic Wand?

        2. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

          No, this Joyce! Actually, take them both. Maybe they can get introduced…

        3. GoldStarz

          “… Actually, now that I think about it, it’s even more dangerous to go alone with that, give it back.”

        4. Alex Stritar

          *stabs you and runs off with it*

      2. timemonkey

        *Joyce pressed B button because she doesn’t believe in evolution*

        1. Mr. Bulbmin

          Upvoted.

        2. NightmareWarden

          Maybe she needs an evolution stone… Everybody throw rocks at Joyce until she starts growing angel wings!
          Hmm…If one character were to have a pet rock, who would it be?

        3. Badeyes

          Dina has a pet rock but it’s a complete dinosaur fossil.

        4. Regalli

          Mega Evolution, or normal evolution? She could make a lovely Mega Absol.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      You mean like Starscream?

      1. Yotomoe

        MEGATROOOOOOOOOOOOON!
        Does that mean she’ll start YELLING at Sarah that she’s gonna betray her?

        1. KingMabel

          No it means that she’ll fail at most things in life and get killed by a blue pony with wings and a rainbow mullet

        2. MM

          The latter seems oddly fitting.

        3. KingMabel

        4. Rex Hondo

          That was a thing of beauty.

        5. Kelly

          Awesome

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          Starscream VS Rainbow Dash

        7. Hobouturtle

          Sarah will response by repeatedly putting trust in Joyce, especially when Sarah transforms into a gun.

        8. Doktor doktor professor

          The question is — will Jacob respond by repeatedly putting thrust in Sarah?

      2. Tunaro

        Maybe just a Seeker for now. Baby steps.

    3. The Phantom's Belch

      Joycemon digivolve to…. Joycewingmon!

  10. Ourorboros

    It was racist Joyce, the only reasoning you had was that they are black.

    That said, if you actually find out anything about Jacob that Sarah would like, introduce them.

    1. Yotomoe

      My first girlfriend was black because I felt pressured that I couldn’t have a white girlfriend or my mom would be disappointed.
      To be honest I’m still impressed that I got a girlfriend at all! I’m lame.

      1. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        Wow, that’s pretty messed up, dude. I’m sorry. 🙁

        1. Yotomoe

          Well it’s not that bad. She was a really nice girl and We had a connection, definitely. I ended up dumping her cuz I’m stupid and have regretted it ever since. ‘ce la vi.

        2. Mr. Bulbmin

          Sorry to have to do this to another like myself, but . . .
          *c’est la vie

      2. Ourorboros

        Try being Chinese-American in a mid-Western city that isn’t Chicago or Detroit.
        Mom got a talk about basic math.

    2. Salmo

      “That said, if you actually find out anything about Jacob that Sarah would like…”

      Have you seen him?

      1. Ourorboros

        And why Sarah and no other woman?
        Dorothy is the only one she knows who is paired up.
        She also has no idea what Sarah or anybody else would like.

        Sure I’ve seen Jacob. Doesn’t mean he’s every woman’s type in this universe. In this kind of art style, it’s far easier to tell when somebody’s ugly or not ugly instead of particularly good looking. Similarly, I have no idea why people find Guy of Two Guys and Guy hot.
        Not a comment on the abilities of either artist, but what I see.

        That said, I have yet to see anybody who is universally attractive, no matter how hot they are generally acknowledged to be.

        1. Random832

          Because as Joyce’s roommate, Sarah has dibs.

        2. taekwondogirl

          I get the feeling that she trusts Sarah more than Billie, and she probably assumes Sal can land whoever she wants. She also seems to want to set up a -relationship- instead of a pre-marital hanky panky session, which is likely all it would be with Billie and Sal.

        3. Ourorboros

          She may trust Sarah more, but she is friendlier with others.
          She is shocked when anybody has pre-marital hanky-panky, it’s doubtful that she can tell who is more likely to have it. She just doesn’t think most people are that way.
          So Billie and Sal are not just ruled out.
          Joyce has never seen Sal with a Guy and she pushes people away as much as Sarah does.

          Of course she wants to set up a relationship, she thinks the entire world works that way. Except for Walky and Dorothy, because Dorothy can now break up with him whenever she wants. A passive-aggressive wording..

    3. Rex Hondo

      But she recognized the thought as potentially racist and, on that basis, did not act on it, so it balances out.

      1. Ourorboros

        She didn’t recognize it on her own. Jacob asked her the natural question – why do you think we’d be good together?
        And that’s when we and she realized her reasoning was racist – she had to stifle her only response.
        It was also an immediate reaction, before finding out anything about him except his name and seeing him.

        No points for her being led there. No balancing.

        Why not Billie for instance? She knows Billie about as well as Sarah.
        Sal is a natural choice – she is supposed to be the hottest of them all. Of course she is also half white.

        1. Rex Hondo

          She wasn’t “led” there. Like you said, he asked the perfectly natural question of what she’s like. She immediately realized where she was coming from and slammed on the brakes, clumsily of course, but she made the effort to do better than her upbringing would have her do.

        2. Ourorboros

          She was certainly led there. She never thought of it on her own. She never saw how empty her justification was until she was made to think – it wasn’t the point of his question, but she had to be brought to the realization.
          Leading requires no foreknowledge on Jacob’s part. He inadvertently took her to the place where it was obvious.

          If Jacob had agreed to meet Sarah, this is a question that would never have entered Joyce’s mind – “Why did I think they’d make a good couple?” – it simply isn’t an independent product of Joyce.

        3. Ourorboros

          Also, if that wasn’t leading, the entire Socratic method falls apart.
          Granted it doesn’t work on everybody, but making horses drink and all that.

  11. matthewgm

    Yet another reason why Sarah is the best character.

    1. Philippe G.

      Amen to that.

      1. Yotomoe

        She’s at least top 3 for me!

        1. MM

          Ditto!

        2. GoldStarz

          +1

  12. Gottawonder

    Sarah doesn’t hate everybody, just stupid ones. Humm…well, yeah, guess she hates most people.

    1. Opus the Poet

      Sarah and my daughter share that characteristic, with me.

    2. Ourorboros

      Stupid ones and people who waste her time.
      She likes Dorothy, just didn’t want to hear teen drama (Danny).

  13. Aakriti

    Sarah is SO cute when she has a crush!

    1. KingMabel

      What is she like the rest of the time?

      1. Doctor_Who

        Cute AND scary.

        1. saltchocolate

          There’s a little bit of scary in the cuteness of her crush. 😀

      2. Yotomoe

        Visually appealing but emotionally distant.

      3. Aakriti

        She’s calm, collected and…distant. I’ve never really seen her so emotionally charged. I mean, look at her blushing!

  14. Metroidwave

    I knew that would come back to haunt Joyce one day

  15. Tomaj

    lmfao sarah

    1. Pizzathehutt

      I’m sorry but.. is your gravatar a high Jesus?

      1. Yotomoe

        I thought it was Bishie Jesus.
        (every time Yotomoe uses an anime word he dies a little inside)

        1. Doctor_Who

          Your username contains the letters “M-O-E”. You are using one every time you post!

          Bwahaha!

        2. Yotomoe

          Yotomoe doesn’t count because it’s an amalgamation of 2 words. And one of them is english.

        3. Mr. Random

          We question why you are using the Third person in your responses.

        4. Mr. Bulbmin

          I felt obligated to do this. The Misters conspire!

        5. Batman

          The great Yotomoe will now present this impressive chart detailing why he uses the third person.

        6. Regalli

          … FAZ HAS REPLACED BATMAN EVERYONE! RUN! WE ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED! D=

        7. Cragalanch

          Cragalanch is wondering what’s wrong with speaking in the third person

      2. Barf Ninjason

        I think it’s like a porcelain doll of High Jesus.

      3. LiaHansen

        Yet another hotty Joyce has been keeping all to herself.

      4. John

        It’s History Channel Jesus a la Shortpacked!

      5. Philippe G.

        More like Hot Jesus, amarite?

  16. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

    Now I’m waiting to see Joyce head “across the tracks” to the local chitlin circuit bar to find a prospective husband for Sarah.

    1. Yotomoe

      She’s gonna bring Sarah a broom so that they two can get married!

      1. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        A broom? Joyce seems pretty Christian to be messing around with wiccan business.

        1. Yotomoe

          Jumpin’ the broom is how ya get married, ya silly.

      2. Doctor_Who

        Ever watch Drawn Together? I’m getting Princess Clara / Foxxy Love vibes. Let’s hope this means Joyce and Sarah are going to kiss.

        Incidentally, I wound up kinda hating that show. It had its moments, but never really lived up to the potential of its concept, and ended up just trying to be offensive for offensiveness sake most of the time without being clever about it. Great voice cast, though, especially Tara Strong who is awesome.

        1. timemonkey

          And now I have that song stuck in my head again.

          But yes, the show mostly wasted it’s potential.

        2. Just Cheeto Dust

          It’s a show with humor that shamelessly goes after low-hanging fruit (like “Brickleberry” does now), it’s hard to say there was potential for anything beyond that.

        3. Doctor_Who

          The idea was neat; put cartoon characters from a lot of different genres and styles together and compare them to the different sorts of dysfunctional personalities you get in a schlock reality TV show.

          But it barely did anything with that. Xandir was supposed to be a video game character, but instead just became a gay stereotype. Ling-Ling was supposed to represent anime, but just became an Asian stereotype. Clara was a Disney princess who was just a Christian stereotype, Foxxy was a 70s Hanna-Barbera cartoon who was just a black stereotype, etc.

        4. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

          Twilight Sparkle was in Drawn Together? Goodness me…

        5. Doctor_Who

          *Ahem*. I’ll just leave this here and slink quietly away in shame for finding it amusing.

        6. Yotomoe

          And I’ll follow it up with
          This

  17. Pizzathehutt

    Joyce shipped it before she even knew shipping was a thing!

      http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-2/01-pajama-jeans/gross/

      ahem

      1. Pizzathehutt

        Woops sorry, I have the mermory of a 5 year old. ( runs from the allpowerful Willis )

        1. Pizzathehutt

          …and also the spelling ability. 🙁

      2. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        Pray, Master Willis, do you keep storyboard outlines or other plot aids for your characters to keep their details straight, or do you just know them so well that you can pull up archive material like this on the fly?

        1. David Willis

          I have a text file that contains maybe five things (mostly Shortpacked!) that I wrote down, worrying that I’d forget before I could draw them. Everything else is in my head.

          Impressive.

  18. Kernanator

    No one can resist the Jacob.

    1. Ourorboros

      We saw Ethan had trouble.
      I can only hope that becomes a factor in leaving the closet for good.

  19. Wonder Wig

    I’m either a bad American or an average American because I had to look up the 13th amendment (although I had a good guess before I did.)

    1. Yotomoe

      I barely know any of the ammendments. Let alone the constitution BEFORE they ammended it!

    2. Alden

      I like the third amendment, which says you’re not allowed to quarter soldiers in a private home during peacetime unless you get the consent of the owner. It’s a rule I always make sure to follow, even though I’m not in the US.

      1. StClair

        Sure, you laugh, but it was a serious thing at the time.

        “This is a very nice house, sir. We’ll be requisitioning it for, oh, the next two months or so. You and your family can sleep in the garage. The Marine Corps thanks you.”

        1. StClair

          (His Majesty, by the Grace of God, King George’s government actually did that. Fairly often. Funny how it just made the “local troubles” worse…)

  20. Darwin

    Jacob – Worth dissolving the 13th Amendment. He should get that on a t-shirt.

    1. Jen Aside

      Jacob: “Worth the racism”

    2. Yotomoe

      Jacob should just never wear a t-shirt. Just go shirtless for the rest of college.

      1. Opus the Poet

        You know it gets freaking cold in Indiana, don’t you? Jacob would be deceased before spring semester.

        1. Ahighfunctioningsociopath

          His sheer hotness will keep him warm.

        2. Mr. Random

          I’m reminded of a cartoon that someone who is definitely not me, was watching that i just so happened to see in passing. A character, let’s call him Gil, was in the snow, he took it off, and the snow melted.

        3. NightmareWarden

          Me thinks it’s one of the total drama island/action shows. Waaaaas it? C’mon, you know you wanna tell us more!

        5. LiaHansen

          worth it.

        6. andmangrewproud

          The ladies would gladly cuddle with him to keep him warm all winter.

        7. Rex Hondo

          Winter is always the best time for hot chocolate.

        8. I don't know what to put here.

          That was perfect.
          10/10.

        9. Kernanator

          Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

  21. Plasma Mongoose

    Sarah, I know you really really fancy Jacob but reintroducing slavery just to score with him might not be the best deal for ya.

    1. Yotomoe

      Who says the black people will be the slaves this time? We had our turn!

      1. Rani

        There are MORE than enough white people to go around. Everybody gets to be happy. 🙂

        1. Mr K

          Unless you’re white.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          But Political Correctness depends on Straight White Males being the ones to blame for anything that goes wrong with any group that is not Straight, White or Male and that only works if they are the ‘oppressor’ group.

        3. Rani

          If you had slaves, do you really think you’d even want an oppressor group? Besides, straight white males are pretty blameworthy. Look at all their wars.

        4. John

          Yeah, sorry. Hundred Years War, totally my bad.

        5. John

          (Y’know, that would probably work better if my gravatar weren’t a bisexual half-Asian female.)

        6. Yotomoe

          Man, I would be so nice to my slaves. I’d let them watch tv when they’re not working. They get their own house with fully functional facilities and pool. Also I will feed them.
          They just have to work all day every day for free.

        7. Mr. Bulbmin

          “Do you honestly believe I care about your arguments anymore? It’s over! Ha! I’ve won. You have no weapons, your friends are all dead, and I hold all your precious equipment. You are nothing. I’d kill you, but that wouldn’t do justice to all the trouble you’ve caused. I’ll keep you as a slave. A pet. And you will know that it is you that did this, and suffer through your own self-loathing.”

        8. James

          My father side is Irish decent that came here around or after the Civil war and my mother side came from mixed eourean decents and came from Denmark around the turn of the 20th century. I don’t have to aplogize for s*it.

        9. Roborat

          Except maybe your spelling??

        10. James

          To Hell with a man that can’t spell a word more then one way!
          ~Mark Twain

        11. Rani

          Say it with me now: “You get a slave. AND YOU get a slave. EVERYBODY GETS A SLAVE.”

        12. Rutee

          If it makes you feel any better, it’d be straight Chinese dudes for kings of hegemon mountain for most of history. You just happened to be born in the era where white people, in particular dudes, were dominant.

  22. JessWitt

    Sarah’s going to make a heck of an interesting lawyer, grabbing everyone in the courtroom by the scruff of their collars or judicial robes.

    1. Yotomoe

      It would work on me.
      “This girl is really into this deliveration! IT MUST BE TRUE!!!”

    2. Ourorboros

      TV lawyer.

      1. Just Cheeto Dust

        “Single Female Lawyer! Having lots of sex!”

  23. -Sentinel-

    Dunno if this has been commented on before, but isn’t it about time to get a new poll? The current one has been around for a while.

  24. Mr K

    Now kiss!

    1. Yotomoe

      That’d be like kissing your sister. Or in Sarah’s case, your SISTAH.

      1. Norj

        That joke was terrible, go to room.

        1. Hobouturtle

          Norj doesn’t mean just any room, THE room.

        2. Mr K

          Oh hai Sarah

        3. Doctor_Who

          “Oh hai, Yotomoe. How is your sex life, ha?”

          That movie is drugs. Not on drugs, not inspired by drugs. It IS drugs.

        4. ninja_jesus

          And you’re supposed to say NO to drugs! :O

        5. Yotomoe

          YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, HOBOUTURTLE!

        6. Keroshino

          Oh Hai, Yotomoe!

        7. Regalli

          I did not hit on her, that’s bullshit, I did not. O hai Mark.

        8. rachel

          Whenever I think “Huh, I think I’d like to watch the room again,” I remember ALL FOUR sex scenes and I get really uncomfortable all over again, and I watch this instead, and I laugh nearly as many times as I do while watching the actual movie:

          http://youtu.be/mvuwldnG7c0

          Sometimes, though, sometimes – it makes me want to watch it again even more. OH WELL BETTER GET REAL GROSSED OUT AGAIN *crack beer*

  25. Pyr05

    I can hear the juices flowing. And it doesn’t disgust me in the slightest.

    1. Tenn

      Do you hear the juices flow,
      flowing from her private den?
      It’s the juice of a woman who’s prepared
      to be enslaved again!

      1. ninja_jesus

        When the beating of your heart
        Echoes the pulsing of your loins,
        There’ll be passion in the air
        When Jacob joins!

  26. Timinane

    13th amendment?
    Sarah would create slaves just to get Jacob?

    The image of Jacob as a sex slave makes me not like Sarah now.

    1. Mr K

      I’m now imagining her in bondage gear, paddling both Joyce and Jacob with her bath. Hopefully Joe and Dorothy also join in.

  27. rachel

    OH MY GOD I LOVE JOYCE, NOW & FOREVER, gaaaah

    1. Mr K

      In a platonic way or not?

  28. Mr. Random

    I wonder what Joyce interprets, THAT, to mean? Will she take as Black? Or as Muscled?

    1. saltchocolate

      “THAT” = fine as hell.

      1. Astrum

        Appropriate gravatar.

  29. Badeyes

    Shit I almost drowned just now. Never drink and read dumbing.

  30. Kiggy

    Could this be a strategic F-Bomb, or a tactical F-Bomb?

  31. James

    Soooo which plot are you looking forward to? Sara getting some or Amber’s impending hate crime?

    1. Sir Robin

      How is it a hate crime? Being gay does not give a “Get out of a beating free” card for dickish behavior

      1. James

        because she hates the fact he is re-entered te closet. Especially the fact he came out before she could ride him like a harley down a country road. Amazi-girl ture origins: pent up sexual fustrations.

        1. Arkantos

          Bullshit. She’s mad at him because he just spite-kissed the girl that, for all she knows, Ethan is still leading on, even though she asked him not to.

  32. Random832

    In case anyone had any trouble finding the strip where Joyce was talking to Jacob, there is a hidden feature in the tag search: http://www.dumbingofage.com/tag/joyce+jacob/

    1. ninja_jesus

      YOU’VE MADE ARGUING ABOUT THIS WEBCOMIC A TON EASIER THANK YOU

      Ahem. <_<

  33. Arkantos

    Damn.

  34. Jack Finch

    How much time does Sarah spend with clenched fists?

    1. OmegaDez

      The entire time.

  35. OmegaDez

    I guess living in a place with a 99.9% white population makes me rather clueless when it comes to racist issues.

    Why is it considered a racist thing to introduce two single people when they’re both black? Because Joyce is white? Would it be racist if she was black too?

    1. madd

      I think it’s because her first thought was Sarah, even though she hasn’t shown any interest in dating … or human interaction in general, and not any of her other single friends. Also, when Jacob asked her why she thought he and Sarah would be “perfect together” she couldn’t think of a single reason.

      You introduce your single friends because you think they might like each other and have things in common, if race is the only thing they have in common, then your motivation is racial and that applies whether you are of the same race as those you are introducing or not.

      1. OmegaDez

        Well, since it’s Joyce we’re talking about, I can immediately understand the problem. 😉

        …
        In fact… coming from a non-multiethnic, non-multicultural place… I suddenly feel like I might just be like Joyce! D:

        Oh, wait. I’m not religious. Phew.

      2. Jen Aside

        I imagine “You’re both cute” POSSIBLY could have been a second reason after “You’re both black” [which is vaguely risky, ’cause what if they’re actually related?], but it’d be just as shallow.

        Though, I’d balk, too, if I knew my friend Sarah would totes dig hot dude Jacob, and I couldn’t think of anything other than “because she’d dig you, though I’m not sure about the other way around” =p

    2. Bill

      I think it might be because certain individuals would consider the idea of same-race dating (black w/blacks, white w/whites, etc) to be a subtle attempt to “keep the races separate”, and by inference “keeping the white race pure”; and therefore anyone who promotes that would be, to their mind, racist.  Refer to the “mudblood” epithet from ‘Harry Potter’.

      Of course that is not always the case.  Sometimes a cigar *IS* just a cigar.

  36. nikofintikis

    I was pulled up like that I think id soil my pants joyce I think you better run

    “”You fucking introduce me!””

    OR I WILL MURDER EVERYTHING!

    1. Kernanator

      She won’t stab everything like Billie, she will beat everything with a baseball bat.

      1. m is for wolf

        Joyce murders people by saying something wildly inappropriate about their culture. …Although I suppose it may not be “murder” so much as “involuntary manslaughter.”

        1. John

          Joyce murders people with a broken glass.

  38. Ashley

    I like Sarah.

    1. OmegaDez

      Me too. She’s slowly becoming one of my favorite girls in there.

    2. dethtoll

      Yeah, for real.

    3. Pebblerocker

      Always have liked her. She deserves a much higher place on the poll.

      1. James

        I blame the author on focusing on sweatpants jeans and two insanely adokable cereal loving girls and not on defrosting the ice queen by meeting this naïve bible thumper and make sure she dose not end up like her last room mate….and the Escaped BRIAN BLEESED clone. ( Joe’s dad)

      2. KevinGriffin3CD

        People love Ruth and Billie’s relationship, but Sarah and Joyce’s has always been my favorite.

  39. Talia

    amazing

  40. Mystrana

    That second panel is just exploding with Classic Joyce-ness. The huge eyes, the triangle grin – folks, this is the essence of Joyce, right here.

  41. man in black

    great page

    1. Keroshino

      Tomorrow’s page too!

      1. David Willis

        whoa buddy let’s not get ahead of ourselves

  42. Gottawonder

    Always thought this was one of the better forums. Good discussions, funny sexual innuendos, discussions of forbidden topics such as slavery conducted in an intelligent manner, et al are all fine: but a hotlink to AF military band’s beautiful Christmas Symphony Flashwave in Smithsonian is not?
    I came back to see if any comments on sharing it. Sigh. Oh well. Learn something every day.

    1. David Willis

      This is not a page for you to spam links you think are of interest. My website is not your friggin’ Tumblr. Removing stuff like that is what KEEPS this one of the better forums.

      1. StClair

        All the upvotes.

        (That I can’t give you with this comment system, but still.)

  43. Robbzilla

    OK, that may have been the funniest comic you’ve done in this series!

  44. ShadowDJ

    Uh…Joyce? It’s not racist if you’re playing matchmaker with two people of the same nationality. Seriously, it’s not bad that you’re trying to introduce someone to someone else.

    1. David Willis

      “nationality”?

      1. DarkWarp

        yeah, ‘merican nation!
