    See? Pants!

    I mean OOH BRA STRAP

    1. David Herbert

      God damn, then how much boobage is Billie going to be showing off?

      1. Izzy

        I don’t know, you tell me!

        1. Jamal K.

          Your avatar says it all

      2. Just for kix

        Woohoo!! *does the fresh prince apache dance*

  2. Another Commenter

    Is that her sweater from Roomies?

    1. Mkvenner

      No. end of discussion.

    2. moh!

      It’s very…orange.

      1. Robert

        Is it me or does willis spend too much time thinking about fashion? This is very strange for someone who always wears Hawiian shirts

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Maybe Willis is a closet metrosexual.

        2. Daeva

          Okay, I know what it means, but every time I hear this term, all I can think of is a guy who finds subway systems sexually attractive.

        3. Izzy

          HAHAHAHA!!!

        4. Stephen

          Your icon amuses me.
          Especially in combination with Plasma Mongoose’s icon.

        5. Blob Marley

          Something something long object something something tunnel.

        6. Canvas Hat

          Something Something Something VROOM!

        7. Hannover Fist

          Someting something something little Joe something something something FAAAAACE!

        8. TheBenenator

          Now, face the power of this FULLY ARMED and OPERATIONAL underground train!

        9. Rowen Morland

          I like that he does.

        10. artemi

          Maybe he’s just a guy who’s been drawing these same characters for 10+ years and is a little tired of drawing the same thing every time? And thus wants to mix it up a little?

        11. Thrudd

          I find it refreshing that he is not a lazy artist and has his characters actually change outfits just like people do in any reality where people shop for clothing.

          How many years has Ash Katchum been wearing that outfit? Most kids clothes barely last 6 months, not six years plus.

        12. Blob Marley

          I’m far more concerned that the kid hasn’t hit puberty yet. He’s like 23 now. Runt needs to go see an endocrinologist or something.

        13. Plasma Mongoose

          Ash hasn’t grown up yet cos he hasn’t evolved yet, maybe humans in the Pokemon world need a puberty stone or something to grow up.

        14. Canvas Hat

          Congratulations! ASH evolved into…
          OH GOD WHAT IS THIS

        15. Blob Marley

          Ash is trying to learn PENIS GOES WHERE
          But Ash can only learn four moves! Forget COMMON SENSE to learn PENIS GOES WHERE?
          > YES

        16. Plasma Mongoose

          That explains SO MUCH

        17. LimeTH

          Techincally, Ash has changed clothes four times already.

      2. Parismio

        She’s a regular Velma!

      3. wandering meme

        Certainly leaves a lot to the imagination.

    3. wandering meme

      Meanwhile, sarah is off to continue writing her new book: diary of a mad black woman…then get pissed how tyler perry stole her idea.

      1. Jamal K.

        Just like some “other” people

  3. narmenduke

    Joyce is seriously the most adorable person ever.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Also it makes her chest look way bigger.

      1. narmenduke

        Also that.

        1. Henry

          Does she even need help?

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          No, I don;t believe that Jugs err Joyce needs any more help in that department.

        3. Kernanator

          Out of curiosity, what are our nicknames for everyone in this universe?

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Dotty = Dorothy
          Freckles = Ruth
          Dickmonster = Joe
          Tubs = Billie
          Jugs = Joyce

        5. Kernanator

          Any ideas for Sarah or Danny?

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          Not sure about Danny boy, but the nickname Grumblebum suits Sarah pretty well.

        7. Kernanator

          Grumblebum sounds adorable.

        8. Plasma Mongoose

          It suits her so well from all the comics we seen of her so far.

        9. Izzy

          wait, why is joyce called jugs?
          XP

        10. JBO

          Isn’t Sal’s nickname Batman? Since she IS Batman.

        11. Plasma Mongoose

          I forgot about Sal as Batman.

          Izzy, the reason Joyce is Jugs cos, look at her, the only way someones chest can be that obvious in a sweater is if they were pretty big.

        12. Henry

          Noo, Sal isn’t Batman.

          Batman is a Sal.

        13. Canvas Hat

          Walky=David

        14. Valdrax

          Danny = “Who?”

          (Stupid threading limit…)

        15. Izzy

          I was making a joke plasma xp
          I thought my avatar being what it was would help reveal that. my mistake lol

        16. Björn

          Do you make those avatars yourself Izzy, or is there a parallell comic somewhere where the DoA cast are in their underwear?

          Kinda like “Garfield minus Garfield”, only more “DoA minus clothes”.

          In any event: I WANT. 😀

        17. Stephen

          I would so read that comic.

        18. Plasma Mongoose

          I suspected as much but the XP symbol usually means ‘oh god that was stupid’ or something along those lines as far as I am aware.

          Better safe than sorry.

          For me at least, 😛 = cheery scarcasm, 😀 means I’m half kidding/kidding and :O means ‘Holy Crap’.

        19. Izzy

          made ’em myself…sorta. lots of tracing in flash. i can make you one if you want?

    2. SolegitRR

      I gotta be honest, I LOVE cute girls in sweaters, especially if they fill them out. It’s unfortunate because I live in Florida, and sweaters aren’t really a “thing” here. I’m originally from the Great White North(west) though, where majestic herds of sweaters still roam free.

      1. Blob Marley

        Is that anything like the swamps of Squornshellous Zeta, where wild mattresses flollop playfully and globber with wild intensity?

  4. TheAlucinaut

    So is Dorothy half dressed there or is there an 80’s exercise theme to this party we haven’t learned about yet?

    1. Moonshine McGee

      Dude, the 80’s have been back for a hot minute among the youngins. Unfortunate hair and all.

    2. fellixe

      She’s a maniac

      1. wandering meme

        Oh noooo!

    3. LurkerAbove

      That look is fairly popular (or was, fashion can be hard to keep up). Seen many young girls dressed like that when going clubbing.

      1. fellixe

        An activity which always sounded to me like it was putting baby seals in peril.

    4. meanderling

      It’s been 30 years, dude. The boat-neck-and-bra-strap is “in” again in college.

    5. Canvas Hat

      Maybe all she knows about this “fashion” thing is from the encyclopedia.

  5. moh!

    Sweaters..sweater vests…whichever.

  6. Lee

    I’m liking the Velma sweater. She should keep it.

  7. Plasma Mongoose

    All she needs is a pair of black square glasses and she can cosplay Velma from Scooby Doo.

    1. moh!

      And then get together with Shaggy?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Only if Walky gets to be Scooby.

        1. moh!

          Walky is already Scooby.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Does that make the McNuggets the new Scooby snacks?

        3. narmenduke

          And does that mean Ultra-Car is the Mystery Machine? I can totally see him going along with that.

          And by “going along with that” I mean “killing the first person that suggests that”.

          …who’s there? What? Ultra Car! Nooooo, I didn’t meanuuaghhhghurk…*

        4. Rokk

          No, not killing. Abducting and leaving in the Amazon. He hasn’t done that in a while

        5. moh!

          Yes.
          Joyce providing Walky with McNuggets in exchange for sexual favors..

        6. Thrudd

          And here I thought it would have been Nachitos … silly me.

        7. Plasma Mongoose

          Nachitos are his favourite in Its Walky, McNuggets are his in this reality.

        8. dchorror

          The red eyes of your avatar make it sound like you’re demanding this.

        9. Plasma Mongoose

          That works for me. 😀

        10. moh!

          Joyce is secretly a furry

        11. Plasma Mongoose

          The idea that Joyce is a secret yiffer disturbs me.

        12. moh!

          She’ll yiff your mom in the faaaace for a nickel

        13. narmenduke

          With her…penis?

        14. Izzy

          now, with her femurs

        15. wandering meme

          In her nethers?

        16. narmenduke

          BUT SHE NEEDS HER FEMURS TO LIVE.

        17. LimeTH

          Will this require her butt?

        18. Plasma Mongoose

          Will this affect her FAAAAAITH?

        19. Wix

          Yeah… The moment you suggested Walky possibly being Scooby, I was like ‘But that means… Back in… o.e’

        20. Wix

          And yes, that does mean the image of Scooby and Velma are officially in your head as Walky and Joyce in their respective outfits (yes, that leaves Walky in nothing but dog ears, tail, and painted on spots if you want it to go that way.)

        21. begbert2

          Hey now, don’t deprive Scoob of his modesty. He’s got that collar!

        22. N0083rP00F

          Walky in nothing but body paint and a dog collar, now THAT I wanna see XD

    2. Seerow

      Now I want to see a strip slay of this with Joyce saying “JENKIES!” instead of “TA DAAA”

      1. Undrave

        I thought it was ‘jinkies’ not ‘jenkies’ o.o

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          ‘jenkies’ is what you say when you remove the wrong block.

        2. Izzy

          no, silly, that’s jengis!

        3. wandering meme

          You mean the guy that conquered all of asia?

        4. Izzy

          naw that’s Genghis

        5. wandering meme

          I thought that was the Alien that went up against Captain Picard in Star Trek?

        6. Blob Marley

          No, that was KHAAAAAAAAARN!

        7. Sam

          No, Kharn’s a team killing space marine. Though I hear hear he’s still a pretty fun guy.

        8. Valdrax

          FACE for the FACE GOD! FEMURS for the FEMUR THRONE!

    3. Mkvenner

      I can completely see that happening.

      1. moh!

        Now I want to write fanfiction with Velma!Joyce yelling at Daphne!Roz and Fred!Joe for pre-marital hanky-panky.

        1. fellixe

          …and the Freaky Phantom is actually *mask is removed* Galasso the Pizza Shop Owner?!?

        2. moh!

          Everyone thought it was Mike because he was acting suspicious but really he was just trying to protect his secret– he’s engaged to Danny.

        3. moh!

          He didn’t want to tell anyone until they set a date

        4. narmenduke

          And then the Galasso mask was pulled off to reveal…SYDNEY YUS!!! *gasp*

        5. fellixe

          “…and I’d have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids and the guy with the Nachitos!”

    4. Doctor_Who

      That would be…strangely hot actually.

      Can Amber do it instead? She’s already got the glasses, and more suitable hair.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Have them swap clothes, 😀 😀 😀

      2. Commander Cellphone

        So much PSL for Amber Velma goin on right now.

        1. moh!

          PSL?
          something something lust, right?

        2. Confuzor

          of the Perverse Sexual variety, yes.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Perverse Sexual Lust, Willis coined the term to describe feeling turned on by a fitional character.

          PSL, you have been troped.

        4. Jack

          You mean Perverthe Thecthual Lutht.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          Did a cat bite your tongue?

        6. Jack

          A little bit.

        7. Wix

          Watch that become the Halloween thing.

        8. Joebo

          This is of course when they GET to halloween. In what, ten years time?

        9. Aizat

          10-20 years or when Half Life episode 3 come out. Just kidding, just kidding. Please don’t ban me.

        10. N0083rP00F

          It will will be out way before then….

        11. wandering meme

          Careful. PSL can lead to PHP with LDMs and webcams posting MP4s on the WWW!

        12. Vabolo

          WTF?

  8. Thor

    Guess who is going to need to borrow clothes?

    1. begbert2

      I’m having trouble seeing her not rejecting the offered clothes.

  9. Mkvenner

    I will say this is actually an improvement.

  10. MM

    If we’re trying to avoid Sarah’s worst fears, the sweater vests would have been smarter.

    1. fellixe

      Those are smart looking sweater vests under any circumstances, sweetheart.

  11. Honey-Flash

    Well, doesn’t this bring back memories?

  12. Plasma Mongoose

    Just a quick edit:

    Joyce as Velma

    1. Andy

      Part of me wants to be turned on, but most of me is slightly disturbed.

    2. Kernanator

      *blink* *blink* That…actually works.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        ^_^

        1. Aizat

          Hey, throw in a miniskirt and she’ll looks almost exactly like Velma.

    3. A. Colunga

      Velma was the originator of “sweater meat.”

      1. Blob Marley

        Sweater puppies!

      2. Valdrax

        I’m pretty sure the “Wholesome Sweater Girl” goes back at least to the 1950’s if not earlier.

  13. Andy

    I think somebody needs to point out that most parties tend to take place in houses/rooms that are a bit too small for the number of people, and therefore get extremely hot extremely quickly. Sorry, Joyce, but you might want to take off that sweater. Slowly. For safety.

    1. Kernanator

      While everyone watches.

      1. wandering meme

        NOBODY FAP! Mike’s watching youuuuuuuuuuu….@_@

        1. Blob Marley

          Ceiling Mike is watching you fap.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Don’t you mean Basement Mike?

  14. Kirby

    Joyce is adorable. Can I keep her? xD

    1. Joebo

      Once the statue gets made, yes.

      That will be $5 Willis, for plugging your merchandise.

  15. Ravux

    Hey, turtle necks can be hot. You know, if you talk to the right people.

    1. Daeva

      They’re also perfect tactical attire!

    2. begbert2

      Or if, y’know, it’s warm out.

  16. NinjaNick

    Cute sweater, Joyce. 😛

  17. Aizat

    Oh c’mon Billie. Sweater vests are cool.

    1. Fauxlosopher

      Yeah. Jets fans can’t have Rex Ryan Time without the sweater vest.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      Actually, sweater vests are hot, in both sense of the word.

    3. Daeva

      Sweater vests, bow ties, fezzes, and Stetsons.

      1. ryu

        pretty much anything the doctor wears, past or present doctor. this includes Chuck tailors.

        But Chuck tailors are always cool.

      2. 47

        And eyeglasses now.

  18. Fauxlosopher

    I think the phrase “That’s really up to her” is one of the most mature statements I’ve seen in this comic.

    1. begbert2

      If it weren’t shoving the entire blame for their disagreement onto the other person, maybe. But that’s what it’s doing, so it sounds pretty passive-aggressively immature to me.

      1. Blob Marley

        Joyce has been nothing but friendly and accommodating to Sarah. She’s basically saying “The offer of friendship is still on the table, but it’s up to Sarah to accept it.” Joyce has made 99% of the effort. Is it really unfair to expect Sarah to pick up the other one percent?

        1. begbert2

          The “Are you two going to be okay” wasn’t about their several-days-long relationship; it was about the argument immediately prior. Which Joyce singlehandedly turned from bluntly-phrased concern for Joyce’s well-being (because she really doesn’t have any idea what she’s getting into – see that sweater) into a personal attack on Sarah’s lifestyle. An ill-informed personal attack, to boot, since she has no idea that the reason Sarah stays aloof is because she’s twice shy from being bitten once each time she goes into the cafeteria. And it was solely thanks to Joyce’s personal attack that Sarah angrily discarded her concern for Joyce’s welfare.

          And no the fact that her concern for Joyce is partially driven by a desire to have a peaceful placid roommate doesn’t change the fact that in this argument it was Joyce that set the torch to the bridges.

        2. Blob Marley

          You can disagree with someone without it being an attack… Joyce just told Sarah that Sarah’s advice wasn’t very reliable. In point of fact, it really hasn’t.

        3. Valdrax

          It wasn’t an attack. She was simply telling Sarah that Sarah has been quick to judge her incapable of handling herself and wrong and that Sarah’s own wall of anger has left her isolated and unable to build new bridges. And it doesn’t take long to see that’s true. Sarah is friendless due to her own devices; there are more people out there than her ex-roommate’s friends, and she’s made no real effort to reach out to any of the new girls.

          And it wasn’t just “bluntly phrased concern for her well-being.” It was an order not to involve herself with something that might bring back drama to the room. Joyce has a right to stand up for herself.

  19. andysdrawings

    Velma!

  20. myfistthirstfornecks

    All I can say is turtle neck and chain!

  21. Jason

    JOYCE. It is probably not even SEPTEMBER in your universe. At the latest, Monday will be Labor Day. It is too early for a sweater!!

    1. myfiststhirstfornecks

      Technically, its a turtleneck. Just saying.

  22. Daeva

    Hmm, not entirely sure how I feel about Dorothy’s outfit here. I mean, yeah, it definitely gets the point across, but isn’t the whole wide-collar, short-shorts thing a little retro? I mean, give her a scrunchie and a pair of leg-warmers and she’s got the full set!

    And I care what noone says, Joyce’s outfit is appropriate for the sheer reason that Joyce has the PERFECT figure for a sweater! I mean, seriously, look at her!

    1. Izzy

      Unforutnately I’ve seen gals wearing stuff like that around my parts lately…which isn’t too far off from the comics parts

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Nice fanservice grav. 😀

        1. Henry

          It needs to be made bigger.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I do wish that the grav could be bigger, 64×64 is pretty damn small concidering that 1280×1024 & 1600×1200 screens are the norm these days.

          I do wish they would allow at least 196×196 gravs if not higher.

  23. creatorx2

    Has nobody made a Francis joke yet?
    Francis. From Left 4 Dead.

    …Francis hates everything but vests. He likes vests.
    Joyce got rid of the vest part of sweater-vest. Therefore Francis must hate her the most.

    1. Izzy

      -_-

      1. Azukar

        I did a double- and triple-take at your avatar. Now… it’s hard to look away…

        1. Izzy

          That’s a good thing, right?

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          How are you able to have two different gravs at the same time?

        3. Asuka L.S.

          Your gravatar’s eyes…they’re burning into my very SOUL! Make it stop!

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Don’t fret too much, I only use this grav once in a while, I change gravs like most people in here change underwear.

        5. Izzy

          you can have more than one e-mail adress attached to a gravitar account. you can have different avatars attached to different e-mails

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          Ah that explains it.

  24. wandering meme

    … Well duh! Sweaters!

  25. Joraiem

    Just in case we were worried the sudden mature talk would take away the Joyce we all know and love…

    TA DAAAAA!

  26. Sir Robin

    I wonder if DoA Faz will be at this party

    Or at the very least I am hoping for some more Ethan / Joyce interaction

  27. ziggy78eog

    This is going to be a “work in progress” thing, yes?

    1. Joraiem

      I dunno, I can’t imagine Joyce wearing anything more revealing than that, you know? At this point, at least, she’s far too conservative for that.

  28. agentksilver

    Watch it turn out that Joyce’s turtleneck sweater is more appropriate to the party than what Dorothy is wearing. Instead of a sex party, it’s a whole bunch of people sitting around discussing Women’s Rights to Have Sex and whatnot.

    1. begbert2

      If so then Roz oughtn’t have told Dorothy that her previous attire was inappropriate.

      1. MM

        Maybe they’re planning a SlutWalk and want to compare attire?

    2. vlademir1

      I had a similar thought, and it would be a Willis kinda move, but I’m thinking even if it is a more traditional kind of college party she’s dressed appropriately enough.

      I’m going to laugh my ass off if Beef shows up at this party, especially if it’s as Robin’s bodyguard (and the “party” is a political rally).

    Even with the comic being way up in Indiana and not in Surface-of-the-Sun, Texas, she is going to be sweltering in that heavy turtleneck. It’s September, for goodness sake.

    That being said Joyce has a great set of sweater-puppies.

    And my Sassy Gay Friend side want’s to give Dotty a “What, what, what are you doing?” with those skanky booty shorts.

      The second week of September in southern Indiana it got down to sixty after a thunderstorm. It’s entirely possible for it to be sweater-appropriate weather, given that none of the characters have complained about it being really hot.

        It is nice and cool out in Evansville today

        1. Henry

          Yeah, like not even seventy degrees.

    2. Joraiem

      Where I am today, it was below 50 all day.

      Which meant I got to enjoy seeing some nice sweater puppies in Lit class today! So yeah this is totally plausible.

    I voted for danny because I harbor PSL for him.

    I’m still wondering waht Roz meant by, “You have to participate.”

  34. Shifty

    She looks like a long haired Velma without her glasses on.

  35. Romanticide

    She will probably boil alive in that sweater if the party is in a closed place… O.o

  36. Princessanarchy

    She looks like Velma from Scooby Doo

  37. Aisling

    Joyce isn’t fundie enough, she wears pants and cuts her hair lol.
