I think Joyce could work up to a polycule with Joe and Dotty but Walky is where she'd draw the line.

2025-06-03 07:48:57 +0000 UTCI just remembered that Dorothy received a Bible verse from Joyce on lunch she gave Dorothy that’s used at Lesbian weddings, and Sierra was there to hear that. Wonder if Sierra ships Joyce and Dorothy.

2023-06-28 23:03:51 +0000 UTC@Rebirth_Exo: Sierra was already dating them well before the timeskip: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/03-the-thing-i-was-before/unraveling/

2023-06-28 10:54:52 +0000 UTCThe sad part is that the polycule was during the time skip. So unless Wills makes something similar to a Slipshine, these characters are on the back burner.

2023-06-28 06:01:10 +0000 UTCSierra was also a churchgoer with Joyce, Mary, and Dorothy, yet she likes women. Also, she’s easygoing and chooses to wear no shoes for years.
Andrea Andrew
2023-06-28 00:16:56 +0000 UTCI just think back to the shower stilts scene. Carla can't hate Joyce no matter how she tries (https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/03-the-thing-i-was-before/framework/ &c).
ValdVin
2023-06-27 23:17:40 +0000 UTCYep. You're right. I got confused as which one was shorter. Based on Joyce's comment of Mandy-Sierra-Grace, my brain parsed that as tallest to shortest, even though Sierra's statement before that shows that's wrong.
Douglas Appelt
2023-06-27 20:56:07 +0000 UTCIt would be interesting to learn how the polycule came to be. We know that Grace and Mandy were a couple first, but Sierra's addition is so far unexplored.
Harold
2023-06-27 17:41:33 +0000 UTCGrace's perpetually bemused expression is entertaining as well.
Harold
2023-06-27 17:35:22 +0000 UTCIt is a shame. They seem like interesting characters. Also, their relationship, that needs more representation, seems like a way for Joyce to solve her feelings for both Dorothy and her current partner, Joe.
Andrea Andrew
2023-06-27 17:28:36 +0000 UTCIt's a shame we don't see more of these three in the main story. Though considering that the comic has tons of characters being spotlighted, the minor ones are mostly relegated to the bonus comics.

2023-06-27 16:37:24 +0000 UTCReminder that there's a wonderful and hilarious Slipshine one-shot drawing featuring the polycule. A game of rock-paper-scissors is involved.
Harold
2023-06-27 15:01:08 +0000 UTC@Douglas: Had a lengthy comment that I just deleted because, looking at your comment again, it looks like you may be mixing up Grace and Mandy. Grace is the tallest member of the polycule, so she's ALWAYS the big spoon. Mandy is the shortest one, in the middle, so the wish would make more sense coming from her.
Harold
2023-06-27 14:29:31 +0000 UTC"We'll save that for later."
Ryn Aran
2023-06-27 14:16:09 +0000 UTCYes, Joyce can fit it: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/fun-3/

2023-06-27 13:15:18 +0000 UTCA very apt and fair question!
Michael Steamweed
2023-06-27 13:13:15 +0000 UTCGrace is all, "Dammit! Someday *I* want to be the Big Spoon!"
Douglas Appelt
2023-06-27 12:55:14 +0000 UTCThe Great & Powerful Willis wants you to NEVER speak that name again! ;P
Douglas Appelt
2023-06-27 12:54:07 +0000 UTCI get the impression that Mandy and Joyce consider each other passing acquaintances, so probably the first one. Or maybe I'm the one underestimating Mandy's propensity to troll.
Lisa
2023-06-27 07:05:34 +0000 UTCHAHAHA, but also awesome and wholesome!
Onyx
2023-06-27 05:13:25 +0000 UTCYou underestimate her innocence, Mandy. Or you're fucking with her.

Packy Anderson
2023-06-27 04:10:59 +0000 UTC@Aneterio: Oh, I feel the same way. I just envision Joyce peppering Carla with questions (some spectacularly tone-deaf) about being trans, to the point of her getting exasperated and saying something like that but not meaning it, because she'll know Joyce's heart is in the right place.
Harold
2023-06-27 04:07:26 +0000 UTCI feel like Carla couldn’t hate Joyce for the same reason you can’t really hate the squirrels eating out of bird feeders, they’re just kinda silly little idiots that just do things without meaning any harm
Aneterio
2023-06-27 03:57:18 +0000 UTCI wonder if Joyce asking this question is because she needs to know what a polycule is for the main story for some reason.
Andrea Andrew
2023-06-27 03:36:50 +0000 UTCWillis, please make more porn. I really need it. Thanks in advance.
Paul Grodt
2023-06-27 03:29:17 +0000 UTCI love that she's now apologizing in advance for her gaps in knowledge and any unintentional offense she might cause. This is destined to become a more frequent occurrence, especially once Joyce learns that she does, in fact, know several trans people. (Joyce: "Gonna ask a question, please don't hate me." Carla: "Oh, that ship sailed a long time ago. Just fucking ask.")
Harold
2023-06-27 03:07:04 +0000 UTCLet’s face it. This series will probably end in a polycule of everyone but Mary.
Andrea Andrew
2023-06-27 03:06:19 +0000 UTCNow that she knows what a polycule is, I wonder if she’ll want someone else to join her relationship with Joe. Perhaps a brainy ex future president she’s been attracted to for a while.

Andrea Andrew
2023-06-27 03:02:45 +0000 UTCGreat strip, and a great callback to the night that Joyce, Dorothy, and Walky all fell asleep in Joyce's bed after a late night watching cartoons. And there was a fair bit of "Wait, how the hell are three people fitting on that bed?" in the comments section at the time.
Harold
2023-06-27 03:01:49 +0000 UTCDorothy and Joe.

2023-06-27 03:01:32 +0000 UTCJoyce's education continues...

2023-06-27 02:59:07 +0000 UTCYeah Joyce, who's in your polycule?
Colton
2023-06-27 02:57:44 +0000 UTCJoyce learned a new word! Yay!
