He’s got alternate-universe crack-pairing kids-from-the-future, though, all of whom from a time far after he hit the 2040 mark. (And no, not adopted, since they were born with abductee powers.) I suppose Head Alien II might’ve augmented them after capture for spoiler-related reasons, but it’s never mentioned.
Wait, but there are superpowered kids resulting from non-abductee pairings, though. (Howard/tube sock?) So maybe they were adopted. Wouldn’t explain the family resemblance, though…
Yesssssss Walkycast, I’ve missed you. ‘Specially Joe. I loved the Joe/Robin friendship from the last bits of IW!, I really hope we see some of it here?
This is more what I was asking, and if Friday’s comic is any indication, we’re right on the money of a massive party for the anniversary. This is probably one of those big numbers, too, like 10.
You know, I should probably just archive dive rather than make random guesses like this. It’s not like I couldn’t find out easily myself how many years or the date of the first comic. I just make myself look stupid and ignorant this way.
Jonathan Frakes is TOTALLY playing Joe in my mind-cast. He was the ladies-man of TNG, after all (until the writers realized how sexy Patrick Stewart could be).
Because we realised that the unhallowed union of her business savvy combined with his overwhelming technical ability would result in them taking over the world in a far more efficient manner than any supervillain, and they would write their names on the fabric of creation and seat themselves on thrones above the universe from which they could observe their new empire, and do the nasty.
I’m not sure that it would be a bad thing, mind you.
Now I’m imagining them comparing sexual health history.
Joe:”Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, had it, got it, had it, thought I had it…”
Conquest “You’re list is so…big.”
Joe “That’s not all that’s big, baby.”
And then, 1 million people facepalmed and were suddenly exasperated.
So how is Robin planning a suprize Wedding if she’s lurking in storerooms, shanghi’ing (spelling on that?) the prospective guests? And why would Joe show up so early? And why would Mike be wandering around anyway, wouldn’t someone have mis-directed him to keep him from underfoot? And where is everyone else? Questions, questions.
Yay! A second returning character! Bring back the whole cast! Dead ones included! The technology exists! They must have found a bit of Di.N.A. on the walls or something right?
Man, THAT reunion would be a little awkward, wouldn’t it?
Assuming this is indeed a build up for a wedding, I don’t know if Danny would be involved. He never really had any connection to Mike, and I’m not sure if Robin would even know who he is to invite him.
Though I suppose Joe, Sal, or Joyce might bring him along as a guest.
I tried to tell you earlier, it’s not laxative in the sandwiches, it’s just that your mom cannot cook because she was distracted! By Mike! And the nickel!
As much as I’m pumped up over the IW! characters getting screentime, and for whatever Robin’s planning, I am MORE excited over the prospect that Joe and Ethan might get to meet. I have wanted that to happen for seven years now.
Mike knows what they’re up to and is only allowing it because he hasn’t had a chance to be a dick to the Walky cast in a few years. This is quite convenient.
robin walked into that one and if she wants joe to stay out of sight from mike its more proof she is secretly planning a surprise wedding for him and amber. first hiding the license now this
UH OH INVASION OF THE WALKY CAST
Wait, “casual” is “hand down pants grabbing crotch”?
=o
That’s Joe’s default state
That avatar makes that comment 1000 times better.
For Joe it is.
It is for Joe.
It’s his default state.
Is for Joe it.
Joe is for it.
for it, is Joe
Sounds like a “It’s Walky” bible verse.
… I’m converting.
It Joe for, is.
Default state for Joe it is, young Skywalker.
Its Al Bundy casual as opposed to statue of liberty casual
What, did Joe fucked Mike’s mom or something?
Poetic Justice?
Poetic Justice indeed.
Young Poetic Justice
Poetic Justice Society.
Poetic Justice League
Extreme Poetic Justice.
Dead Poetic Justice Society.
Poetic Justice League International.
Poetic Justice League Unlimited.
Poetic Teen Titans
…
Am I doing something wrong?
Splitters… >ptew<
Poetic Justice League Task Force
Poetic There’s no Justice there’s just Me.
You can’t join the Cruelty Commission! It’s just me!
Shouldn’t that be “Poetic THERE’S NO JUSTICE. THERE’S JUST ME”?
Eh, it’s small caps. I think regular casing is more accurate than all-cap.s
No, poetic joestice.
Joe’s fucked 2040+ women. Some of them are guaranteed to be mothers, before or after.
As Willis once put it (I think in the first Roomies! book), “Joe must have a lot of illegitimate children he doesn’t talk about.”
Unless he’s sterile.
Unfortunately, that actually happens to alot of guys who do it way too much
He’s got alternate-universe crack-pairing kids-from-the-future, though, all of whom from a time far after he hit the 2040 mark. (And no, not adopted, since they were born with abductee powers.) I suppose Head Alien II might’ve augmented them after capture for spoiler-related reasons, but it’s never mentioned.
Wait, but there are superpowered kids resulting from non-abductee pairings, though. (Howard/tube sock?) So maybe they were adopted. Wouldn’t explain the family resemblance, though…
Dude. What alternate universe, what pairings, what comic.
I must read
Mike is jealous because moms let Joe fuck them for free. Some of them even pay him a nickel.
For free? If Joe’s good at it, he shouldn’t do it for free.
Is it a baby shower? or perhaps a surprise wedding?
I’m guessing #2
well flush when you’re done.
Or a surprise baby shower wedding?
A surprise baby wedding, then a big group shower.
Followed by the orgy.
Surprise wedding me thinks
I sense something is afoot.
I sense something is a hand
I sense something is a penis
It’s Joe’s you’re sensing I think
Robin should still getting a leg-up on people
That’s just Joe.
Oh, just noticed Joe’s hand in his pocket. Don’t know why Robin is blushing though.
It’s, uh… not in his pocket.
Oh…….my….Well, Robin did ask to act casual.
I’m pretty sure it IS in his pocket. However, those pockets run deep.
My pockets are deep enough fro me to put Harry Potter Vol 7 in if I can get it in the opening.
I call myself the Master of Pockets.
Pencil?
Probably because that isn’t his pocket…?
Aaaaand Ninja Rick’d
Is that a hand in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Can’t it be both?
Oh God… that Gravatar…
Again I quote: “Just a curbside prophet/Got my hand in my pocket/and I’m waitin’ for my rocket to come.”
Guess what the rocket is?
A Saturn V?
Nope it’s the Voyager.
*Puts on sunglasses*
It’s a probe.
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!!!!
She’s not blushing, they just all have rosy cheeks.
Yesssssss Walkycast, I’ve missed you. ‘Specially Joe. I loved the Joe/Robin friendship from the last bits of IW!, I really hope we see some of it here?
Walkycast sounds like it should be a podcast about Walky.
Seconded.
I sense massive crossover! Say, when is the It’s Walky! anniversary, anyway?
Christmas 2005, but it, like all non-Roomies! anniversaries, doesn’t get much attention.
The Roomies! anniversary is on Monday, for the record.
Christmas 1999, sorry. Christmas 2005 would put it after Joyce and Walky!, which makes no sense.
Being fair here technically Roomies! Anniverary is every other Strips anniversary
This is more what I was asking, and if Friday’s comic is any indication, we’re right on the money of a massive party for the anniversary. This is probably one of those big numbers, too, like 10.
You know, I should probably just archive dive rather than make random guesses like this. It’s not like I couldn’t find out easily myself how many years or the date of the first comic. I just make myself look stupid and ignorant this way.
Mike’s field of vision seems to be just as good as any henchman’s in a stealth game.
He’s a progressive dick. always looking forward.
Yes, “forward”.
Hahaha.
I was gonna say, Joe was like right there.
And really, like there are so many people running around in Hawaiian shirts these days. It’s Joe or Willis, guaranteed.
If I had the cash, I would wear Hawaiin shirts all the time…and sombreros.
Do you think Joe will wear a hawaiin shirt three peice suit to the wedding?
…That would be AMAZING.
Willis, make it happen. PLEASE.
He’s only ignoring them as part of his plan. Watch he’s going to find a reason to skip town before his wedding or something.
He’s gonna take his sweet time gettin’ those sandwiches.
The sandwiches are gonna give people food poisoning.
That is because your mom cannot cook, and Mike got them from your mom.
Yeaaaah, I think the chances of Mike or Amber being surprised by this after Robin vanished with the documents is about a million in one.
Wait, that’s too improbable… Rule of comedy says that would make it a certainty.
!
Hmm, nothing there. Must be seeing things.
He lost the wife and he grew a beard.
There’s a joke in there, somewhere, waiting to be found.
It’s all he could keep in the divorce settlement.
Joe has never been married.
Girlfriend. Whatever.
Don’t you mean girlfriends?
I was talking about Rachel, specifically, who (unless I’m wrong) is the only girl Joe’s had any sort of lasting relationship with.
All these semantics are ruining my not-joke.
Your joke was bad and you should feel bad.
Need to spoil a not-joke?
Why not Zoidberg?
Joe kinda like Riker with the beard.
Jonathan Frakes is TOTALLY playing Joe in my mind-cast. He was the ladies-man of TNG, after all (until the writers realized how sexy Patrick Stewart could be).
Mike should totally be played by Nick Cage. His voice always seemed to fit, and seeing Cage be in a role like Mike would be awesome.
Ew?
The return of Robin/Joe?
Coolcoolcool
And yet he’s still nowhere as icky as Faz.
oh god, what if joe meets wen!
What if he meets CONQUEST?!
That right there might be true love at last.
Conquest needs a baby, Joe needs a nymphomaniac. I think these two together could solve both problems. Why did no one ship this sooner!?
Because we realised that the unhallowed union of her business savvy combined with his overwhelming technical ability would result in them taking over the world in a far more efficient manner than any supervillain, and they would write their names on the fabric of creation and seat themselves on thrones above the universe from which they could observe their new empire, and do the nasty.
I’m not sure that it would be a bad thing, mind you.
Damn it, Conquest is Kens! The Kenquestidors will not be denied!
Now I’m imagining them comparing sexual health history.
Joe:”Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, had it, got it, had it, thought I had it…”
Conquest “You’re list is so…big.”
Joe “That’s not all that’s big, baby.”
And then, 1 million people facepalmed and were suddenly exasperated.
You are awesome.
I need to see them conversate, yes.
Conversate? She’s had her hand on his taint since we walked into the store.
You misspelled consummate.
Because he’s just loveable.
That’s because Joe, in general, is much smoother with the ladies.
“Smoother with the ladies” is a phrase which here means “does not bluntly and formally refer to their genitals and strip at random intervals.”
So how is Robin planning a suprize Wedding if she’s lurking in storerooms, shanghi’ing (spelling on that?) the prospective guests? And why would Joe show up so early? And why would Mike be wandering around anyway, wouldn’t someone have mis-directed him to keep him from underfoot? And where is everyone else? Questions, questions.
Perhaps this is just the planning meeting?
Also, Leslie sent Mike for sandwiches last comic. That’s when Sal showed up.
Mike doesn’t “plan” he “schemes”
He also plots and machinates.
He also destroys and wrecks.
Might be unrelated, but there you have it.
(He also does your mom)
Hey-ohhh!
“shanghai” since you asked.
Or, if you want the version with the apostrophe, “shang’haied”. Named after the city in China.
Yay! A second returning character! Bring back the whole cast! Dead ones included! The technology exists! They must have found a bit of Di.N.A. on the walls or something right?
Man, THAT reunion would be a little awkward, wouldn’t it?
Do you remember what all they went through?
The only people it would be awkward for are those who are solely from Shortpacked!
I would like to see Danny again. He was one of my favorite characters from the original series
Assuming this is indeed a build up for a wedding, I don’t know if Danny would be involved. He never really had any connection to Mike, and I’m not sure if Robin would even know who he is to invite him.
Though I suppose Joe, Sal, or Joyce might bring him along as a guest.
Joe’d probably be the most likely to drag him along–though Walky might drag along Billie who might drag along Danny.
Robin’s all like “seating charts? What’re those?”
Oh I am sure Mike already knows XD and he is already scheming about his course of action XD
Laxative in the sandwiches?
Nah, I’m sure he was planning to do that anyway.
I tried to tell you earlier, it’s not laxative in the sandwiches, it’s just that your mom cannot cook because she was distracted! By Mike! And the nickel!
More like laxatives on the wedding feast, he supposedly doesn’t know XD
As much as I’m pumped up over the IW! characters getting screentime, and for whatever Robin’s planning, I am MORE excited over the prospect that Joe and Ethan might get to meet. I have wanted that to happen for seven years now.
Hell, inviting Joe to a toy store and expecting him to have any degree of focus is bound to be amusing.
You know, when I first learned that Joe collected toys, these were not the kind I was picturing…
This is the sixty-ninth comment on a comic with Joe in it. I am inordinately proud.
Mike knows what they’re up to and is only allowing it because he hasn’t had a chance to be a dick to the Walky cast in a few years. This is quite convenient.
It’s a surprise wedding obviously
A surprise shotgun wedding?
It’s probably gonna be a bazooka wedding, based on Mike’s strength.
Though Joyce’s BFG will do in a pinch.
Joe’ll act casual alright, with his penis.
I think I’ve spotted a mistake in the comic: The price scanner in the background looks like it’s not out of order.
(Scans Your Mom)
Price: $0.05
You’re correct, it IS is working order.
D.W. the guys at Superhero Time ( the worlds best tokusatsu podcast about Digimon, Transformers and Your Mom ) would be proud of you!
I’ll always be amused by “Yoink!”
YO, JOE!…I’m sorry.
And knowing is half the battle.
But what’s the other half? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT’S THE OTHER HALF!?
I thought she was referring to his shirt at first.
So, Joyce and Walky next… right? (please, please, please?!)
I’m thinking Jason tomorrow, Joyce and Walky on Monday.
Just like Willis to make us wait.
Annnnnnd Joe puts his hand in his pants. Thanks Joe. We’ve missed you.
And little Joe, too.
robin walked into that one and if she wants joe to stay out of sight from mike its more proof she is secretly planning a surprise wedding for him and amber. first hiding the license now this
Is it true Robin has a penis and that’s why Leslie and she are no longer together?
l0lwu7?
She does! She keeps it in a draw by her bed and pulls it out so she doesn’t feel so alone.
