Damn you, Willis! (Dumbing of Age)

Kugai:
As much as I'm enjoying this little storyline, especially with Becky and Leslie (Becky looks neat in a tie) Willis is really starting to frak me off

Or that she quickly and effectively hid the body.

BenRG:
Joe's defensive anger is quite instructive. Remember that he more or less likes Joyce as a person yet he can't help but objectify her and react as if it is her wrongdoing to feel aggrieved. He either literally does not understand what he has done wrong or he thinks that the real wrong is to say that he has done wrong.

That said: If Joe has angered Joyce, then he's on thin ice indeed. She's a lot more forgiving than most. If she is angry with him then most other women probably want his head mounted on a pike in the middle of the reception hall!

Still doesn't alter the fact that this is a major deal...
And of course, that's not even including the fact that there was a lot of distressed shouting going on...

The lack of reaction in any form to these apparent events simply makes my suspension of disbelief a little harder to keep to the fore.

In other words... it seems like a *building of tension* which has backfired.
People aren't being held in suspense here. They're getting miffed at the utter lack of relation in the current strips to the well paced arc immediately before it.

But nah.. lets just have more Ukeleles and flat caps humour...
Or what about some "Joe likes to have sex" humour.. that'll keep the forum busy... (Oh boy, doesn't it just!)

As a reader... I think Willis has misjudged the timing of this, and indeed even the content of strips, detailing what happened "three days later" after the event which (it seems) the entire strip has spent time leading up to.

A Duck:
I just noticed Joyce's current outfit seems to be her original "It's Walky" outfit. Neat!

It's nice to see Joe's crap finally hitting the fan, but this whole thing would be much better if we didn't have that gigantic cliffhanger. I mean, not even hinting at what happened? Really?
