Does this strip hit different now? Kinda feels like it does.

2025-03-18 21:24:45 +0000 UTC@Daibhid: "Mo Dell"? Cute, but Willis would never name a character based on a pun like tha-- [remembers "Leslie Bean"] -- um, never mind.

2022-11-30 22:53:16 +0000 UTCMaybe both ends are sealed, so she doesn't know which one she should start with.
Daibhid Ceannaideach
2022-11-30 22:19:59 +0000 UTCDoesn't have a name *yet*. Let's fix that. I propose Maureen Dell. Her friends call her Mo.

2022-11-30 22:16:43 +0000 UTCBased on the kids (lack of) reactions, I'd say the boy knows, but the little girl doesn't

2022-11-30 18:38:21 +0000 UTCI would agree, except I think the cast list is already far too large. I'd much rather we develop existing characters more than rather than add new ones.
Moonlighter
2022-11-29 22:38:13 +0000 UTCYea, that makes sense, but still doesn't explain why she is staring at it for four panels. And yes, that is a lot of food Joyce has, I hope it isn't all for her.

2022-11-29 22:16:59 +0000 UTCJoyce as a babysitter does sound comedically promising (we've already seen it, kind of, with Faz), but I'd be surprised if we ever see this character again (except maybe in future bonus strips). She doesn't even have a name yet. Also, I think sitting in on the life drawing class may have helped point Joyce's compass. I wouldn't be surprised to see her decide on art as her major.
Harold
2022-11-29 18:52:25 +0000 UTCI wonder if Willis will have this character stick around? A young mother with two kids would be interesting to bounce off Joyce. This young woman is what her old church would want Joyce to be now (maybe without the art modeling). Meanwhile, Joyce is in an environment where people don’t think about children at all. And Joyce right now is without a compass or any idea of what’s she for. The model does know what her purpose is -she’s got kids - but maybe this isn’t her Plan A. Could be interesting character developments based on this…maybe. Or not. But there could be good comedy bits in Joyce becoming the babysitter for some extra cash.

2022-11-29 18:38:32 +0000 UTCI think it's a burrito (it looks like this might be Taco Bell - the kids are eating what look a little like tacos). If they ARE burritos, either Joyce is there with a group and she's carrying everyone's food, or she's stress-eating something fierce.
Harold
2022-11-29 17:09:11 +0000 UTCWhat is that in her hand, and why is she staring at it so intently?
Robert Weldon
2022-11-29 15:35:08 +0000 UTCQuick, Joyce, ask about her shame-stick
Bagge
2022-11-29 14:20:15 +0000 UTCGod I love Joyce

2022-11-29 07:54:16 +0000 UTCNeuro-atypicality might partially explain, but does not excuse, this social misstep Joyce!
Shane Wegner
2022-11-29 06:39:28 +0000 UTCSeriously. This is a major dick move, saying that to a woman in front of her little kids. :/ I mean, there's a good chance they know what Mommy does, and understand about art? But still, Joyce needs a smack upside the head for this.
Angie Penrose
2022-11-29 06:30:59 +0000 UTCI only had one person recognize me outside of where they saw me naked.
Opus the Poet
2022-11-29 06:29:56 +0000 UTCI knew it was going to be the model (I think it's a record!) but did not in any way foresee it happening like this LOL Also, DANG Joyce.
Onyx
2022-11-29 06:28:58 +0000 UTCOh Joyce, nooooooo

2022-11-29 04:57:41 +0000 UTCI know that's a quote, but she did tho
Minzoku Bokumetsu
2022-11-29 04:26:27 +0000 UTC"I didn't recognize you with your clothes on."
ValdVin
2022-11-29 03:52:31 +0000 UTCLove the composition in panel 3, with half-Joyce's pinhole eye and blush of recognition. Plus the fact that she scurried all the way back behind the model again before speaking to her.
Harold
2022-11-29 03:49:53 +0000 UTCI was going to say "well now I want to see more of her" but realized that might sound different than I'd planned in this context
Greg Cashman
2022-11-29 03:48:30 +0000 UTCCompletely missed Joyce in the last panel initially, thought it was the kid saying that, was like, "Yeah, kids do sometimes run into the room when you're naked." Went back and looked at the comic again. Get it now.
Wombat
2022-11-29 03:44:58 +0000 UTCjoyce, think of the children!
Ashley Thomas
2022-11-29 03:44:26 +0000 UTCI honestly expected the Joyce/Joe conversation to eventually result in a zoom-out shot with the rest of the class just watching them and the model saying like "um...aren't you supposed to be looking at me?" or something.
Michael-Erik
2022-11-29 03:33:56 +0000 UTCIn college there was a period where I worked as both an art model and in one of the campus dining halls. More than once, I'd be serving someone breakfast and look up to find them staring at me in that dawning "I've seen you naked" way.
Lauralot
2022-11-29 03:32:32 +0000 UTC"I've heard you and that guy negotiate starting a relationship. Isn't that weird?"
Dan Rabin
2022-11-29 03:29:13 +0000 UTCJoyce’s bisexuality and horniness cloud her judgment.
Andrea Andrew
2022-11-29 03:29:08 +0000 UTCJoyce, not in front of the kids.
Andrea Andrew
2022-11-29 03:28:23 +0000 UTCWell, this is awkward.
