Here from the future to say…there were no hints! How could anyone think of Joyce and Dorothy as gay for each other? /s

2023-05-09 19:40:52 +0000 UTCJoyce grew up with siblings, she has a sense for when she's receiving confused or judgmental stares.

2023-05-08 00:15:13 +0000 UTCwrite a comic in which a self-insert is contrived into a mouth-to-mouth situation after somebody is crushed by a dorm bed? yes i believe definitely so

2023-05-07 21:25:28 +0000 UTCOkay, but our poor victim really looks a LOT like cartoons of Willis, in that first panel. How many layers of self-destruction is this?

2023-05-07 19:12:58 +0000 UTCThis is so silly because this is not real Joyce needing to give real Dorothy cpr because of actual injury. This is a comic created by Joyce that frequently expresses her inner feelings. There’s nothing sexual about actual cpr. But Joyce writing a story in which Joe suggests she perform cpr on Dorothy reveals thoughts of Joyce as the writer of this scenario that would be different then if this was a medically necessary situation she was put in. Having Joe say the words “You need to do mouth to mouth” is not her writing medical advice. It’s an extension of the bias she still has towards Joe as a horn dog who just wants to watch two women kiss. But Joyce also made this scenario because she’s interested in this idea of a hyper sexual person I think both as a contrast to her old conceptions of purity and as a tool she can use for exploration of things she’s wondered about but has been too anxious to try. Another element here is that Joyce maybe wanted to write a story where she kisses another woman for a man she’s interested in who finds it sexy. A “I kissed a girl and I liked it” scenario meant to titillate men. I think Joyce has never felt sexy before and would like too. But on top of that there be some even maybe just experimental longing within Joyce. What would it be like to kiss a girl she likes? In this space she can explore this idea without consequences.

2023-05-07 15:52:35 +0000 UTCmouth-to-mouth is part of CPR. And even when it's used not as part of CPR, there's a medical purpose. There is a non-sexual explanation, no matter how "generally understood to carry romantic or sexual subtext" something is, "yes?" I know Willis is ship-teasing, and that requires a non-romantic explanation exists.

2023-05-07 15:38:37 +0000 UTCSarah seems really chocked by what Joyce is drawing... that must be VERY good! I wonder if the mouth to mouth panel will involve Shojo manga flowers and others romantic effects.

2023-05-07 14:02:34 +0000 UTCJust twisting the knife in the shippers' hearts, eh? 😆

2023-05-07 13:23:07 +0000 UTCCPR's not a sexual act. It's also not mouth-to-mouth resucitation, which the CPR course I did covered in "Don't do this."
Daibhid Ceannaideach
2023-05-07 11:20:30 +0000 UTCDoes Joyce have eyes in the back of her head? No, but her religious upbringing allows her to sense others' mistrust and disapproval in a 360-degree circle.

2023-05-07 09:12:13 +0000 UTC*Generally*. Exceptions can happen. Such exceptions would be heterosexual explanations.
Evelyn
2023-05-07 08:28:55 +0000 UTCyou understand that in most media, mouth to mouth is generally understood to carry romantic or sexual subtext, yes?
Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns
2023-05-07 06:34:25 +0000 UTC"also, check out how well drawn hips she has"

2023-05-07 05:52:30 +0000 UTCMr Willis, does this happen to you in real life?

2023-05-07 04:53:18 +0000 UTCOkay, Joyce, come on. You gotta see what Daisy meant about queer baiting by now

2023-05-07 04:36:31 +0000 UTCWe don't see the fifteen minutes that elapsed between panels 3 and 4 in which Sarah is staring at Joyce in horror.

2023-05-07 04:34:00 +0000 UTCShe's not breathing. CPR's not a sexual act.

2023-05-07 03:50:12 +0000 UTC(plus the comics don't print on sundays, so that pushes this out even further)
David Willis
2023-05-07 03:48:13 +0000 UTCI put them in their bed clothes because I don't have outfits designed out that far!
David Willis
2023-05-07 03:47:27 +0000 UTCLast Julia Gray strip had Joyce and Sarah wearing what they'll wear in 2 chapters. Am I thinking about it too much, if I'm trying to figure out which day the bonus strips take place on?
HueStL
2023-05-07 03:28:05 +0000 UTCI like how it's unclear if Joyce's "what" is her reacting to what she drew or some telepathic message from Sarah. ~<3

2023-05-07 02:16:03 +0000 UTCOr it’s foreshadowing.
Andrea Andrew
2023-05-07 02:11:31 +0000 UTCI can't wait to see Joyce reacting to the eventual fan letters of her comic strip (and the no doubt high percentage of PresidentGray* shippers). *We don't have a proper ship name for Joyce's strip yet, so I decided to make up one on my own.
Colton
2023-05-07 02:09:14 +0000 UTCHonestly, 50/50 shot Joe would be entirely fine being an observer to such a kiss (would be higher, but Joe's shown a lot of romantic feels as of late).

2023-05-07 01:09:43 +0000 UTCI know there’s been some people taking their Dorothy/Joyce shipping a little far. But honestly there is no heterosexual explanation for that.
