Regarding today's strip:
Dammit, Walky, you had best not screw shit up this time

Their only hope is for Ruth to be so used to Walky being weird and random (and seemingly having her mind elsewhere) that she doesn't notice. I wonder, does the old myth about fear sobering you up really quickly have a grain of truth? Dorothy can only hope!
Meanwhile, Dorothy has realised that she's screwed up with Joyce and needs to do some urgent bridge-rebuilding. Look at her eyebrows: they're tilted back, not forward, so she's grimacing in worry rather than snarling in anger! If she's looking to Billie for a plan for this, she's probably looking in the wrong place!
I don't know why but Ruth's behavior really makes me wonder if she's going to end up confiding in someone... Unless Sal comes back to the party and the foreseen mutual crisis with Amber occurs...
Welu:
Walky's face in the last panel made me snort. :lol:

So, I thought I'd try a little Kremlinology today! A couple of weeks ago, David Willis posted some preview panels from future strips of DoA on his Tumblr account. I thought that I'd share the thoughts that came into my mind when I saw these images and I'd be interested to know what you think!

Well, it looks like either Joyce has an eeebil plan or she's trying to tell Walky an off-colour joke. Naturally, Walky looks weirded out because neither of these things are things that one normally associates with Joyce and I doubt that she can do them very well... or at all... without making her friends think that she's been replaced with a pod-person.

Yeah, I think that this is more-or-less how I'd expect Walky to react to Joyce proposing to be sneaky, cunning or in any way other than fresh-faced and innocent. He's probably giving her a reality check in this strip.

I don't think that Joyce is too happy with Walky's earlier reality check!
Meanwhile, Sal and Mike are watching! I'm not too sure of my DoA geography but this looks to me like the entrance to the main college buildings. Now, why does Mike look like he's waiting for them? As they are all in the same calculus class, I'm thinking that the four of them may have a class project that they've been assigned to together and he's waiting for his 'partners'. I can imagine what Mike said about this situation when the assignments were handed out and it probably wasn't polite!

BECKY: "Ah, don't ask me Joyce, you know I don't get that stuff!"
Not much else to say about this other than to say, whether or not Ruth busts Becky, she's still hanging around campus in the immediate future of the strip.

JOYCE: "Well... er... Bye! Try to be careful!"
This is the picture that initially caught my attention in this sequence. Joyce looks worried, which suggests to me that Becky is going to do something ill-considered but Joyce doesn't want to say too much in front of the others. I just love the nonplussed expressions that Walky, Sal and Mike are wearing. I'm thinking that, for someone not fully read-in to the complexities and subtleties of Joyce and Becky's relationship, their interactions must seem puzzling if not outright weird.
So, what does everyone else think that this week of strips might be about?

Dude, it's not even July yet. I wouldn't call September the 'immediate future,' or pretend I know anything that might be going on in a series where so many things could happen between now and then.
