Forget
Posted on September 15, 2010 by David M Willis
I made sure a very early strip didn't have a humorous punchline so that no one could go "OH WELL THE DRAMA TAG GOT PULLED" later on when other serious stuff happened. It didn't work. folks think they're hilarious

    Danny spotted!

    1. Cassidy

      So Joyce isn’t the first girl he meets on campus then?

  2. David Herbert

    And in the next strip, Billie turns her into an alcoholic Libby-like cheerleader.

    And I think I see Danny in the background (But I guess I suck because I can’t think of who the blonde girl might be).

    1. Trae Dorn

      Likely Danny’s Non-Sal girlfriend (regardless of whether or not it’s a pre-existing character)

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      The blonde in question is in fact Dorothy.

  3. Wackd

    Huh? Wasn’t Becky talking about college being a place for her to grow only a couple of strips ago? And wouldn’t that require her social interactions to change her?

    Um…I mean…yay, Danny cameo! And the comment box finally gives you line breaks in the right places! Sucks about the site crash, but at least you got the comic up and that’s what’s important.

  4. Zesty Piquante

    Do I see Danny back there in panel 3?

  5. Suzushiiro

    The floor pattern in the last panel makes it kinda look like Joyce has a raging boner.

    1. Outrider

      Ha ha, oh man, it totally does.

    2. Stephen

      This is a strange new world, how do we know that it’s really the floor pattern?

    3. agentksilver

      Oh man it totally does. Now I can’t unsee it!

    4. loneislander

      What has been seen……….

    5. Cassidy

      Looks like they went to Canada in this universe too.

  6. SinisterTwist

    Heh… I can’t wait to see what Billie will be like.

    Or to see the inevitable Dina & Joyce competition for Walky.

  7. SinisterTwist

    You know, beyond the glimpses we’ve seen of her so far.

  8. Heather

    This brings back memories. I remember at first being happy over the whole thing in my first year…

    Aaaand then everyone (including the guys) having a little cry in their rooms after their parents left.

    I mean you looked at the TV things and thought (pfft over sentimental crap, it’s not like it’s FOREVER), but then…

    Yeah.

    1. Zap

      I celebrated, actually, but maybe I really was the weird one.

    2. agentksilver

      That’s actually an aspect of what’s called the “W Curve.” It’s how people deal with culture shock.

  9. Mathew New

    Hey! IU! I go to IU!

  10. DCHorror

    Ah, for a moment, I thought that was a blonde Ruth. It’s not, but I had to look it up first.

    1. loneislander

      Looks more like a blond Amber. Foreshadowing perhaps?
      (Please pacman no)

  11. Alan / Falcon

    I still think the reason the site broke was because of the lack of transparent panel in today’s strip.

    Looks great though, love Joyce’s expressions.

  12. NorthSteve

    Danny with blonde-Amber?
    MIND=FXED.

    1. Cholma

      That’s actually Dorothy, who became a major player in the events leading up to Joyce & Walky’s wedding in the paid strips.

  13. joelrice

    Is Joyce gonna be a psuedo insane stalker this time around too?

  14. Aeron

    I didn’t know that Facebook was around in 1996.

    1. David

      This comic is set in the modern day. For them, it’s 2010.

  15. Norman Greene

    Please tell me a version of Jason exists in this world; we need more snarky brits. Plus Mike needs a friend.

    1. beeftony

      He’s a math professor.

  16. Ruth

    IU! Bloomington! Hoosiers! Woot! That is all.

  17. McMoose

    “Don’t let anyone change you”
    …I detect OMINOUS FORESHADOWING!!

    1. Jenny Creed

      Oh man, Past McMoose, you have no idea. I come from a time where that there has become the funniest line in the whole series.

    2. CleverTrousers

      In the same panel where Dorothy’s introduced, no less.

  18. Virnin

    Joyce’s parents are in some kind of Satanic cult? What’s with the pitchfork/trident shirts?

    1. David

      Look up “Indiana University” on Google Images.

      1. jrgolden42

        Is that where Native Americans go to learn?

        Or possibly Hindu’s?

        1. Leah Rockshard

          Typo. He meant Indiana, you wiseass.

  19. andrew

    anyone else thinking of how much joyce changed in the last collage

  20. Leah Rockshard

    Heh. Heh. Heh.

  21. Arcelos

    Just came back to re-read some during a night shift… wow Willis, you are good

  22. DarkoNeko

  23. Peny
