Well, she’s right that extreme arguments don’t work well, even if one extreme is right. Sometimes you need help from those in the middle to draw everyone to some common ground to avoid a shouting match.
I’m about as Left as they come, and I’ve had the most success drawing others farther left when I meet them in the middle. So yeah, not a terrible tactic – at least some of the time.
See my issue is that anyone willing to have sex with Ross is pretty unlikely to be able to change his viewpoint, because anyone who doesn’t share his beliefs is gonna find him an overbearing, nosy jerk.
Hence my bewilderment at Becky’s mom
like ???
My headcanon until proven otherwise is that Bonnie was raised in that environment much the same way Joyce and Becky were, but didn’t get the secular college exposure to different people who showed her she COULD do something different with her life (along with the formative experiences of a Pastor’s Son not being Good and a dear friend coming out and refusing to be ashamed of it Joyce had). So she followed the path that was Good and Right and expected of her, and then started feeling constrained by that role but couldn’t find support, and then… well, we know what happened. I think the fact that she was clearly deeply unhappy with her life says a lot, basically.
Yeah, it’s heckin’ depressing ☹️ even moreso that the same is happening to real actual people 😢
Yep. Everything about Willis’s exploration of fundies and the baggage of his upbringing makes me deeply sad.
Does she realize that Toedad is her bestie’s father at this point?
Wrong universe I think. Unless that’s a future strip.
I know Becks has her roots in the non-Dumbiverse, but thats all I know.
We’ll see when Becky comes in. (That’s not a spoiler when she’s in the header. Incidentally, it is SO WEIRD seeing Becky with long hair.)
…If this is right after the last few strips, when did Joyce get an opportunity to see Ross’ mustache? 😀
Right in the first strip when she looked over the couch and out the door.
But… she hasn’t seen the entire mustache. It’s grown between the strips. 😀
I think I’d have to see what Ross looks like without the mustache before I could decide whether he’d be better off without it.
Well, if he looks like a toe now, and toes don’t have mustaches, I suspect he’d just look more like a toe.
You make a convincing argument.
I mean, paint him red, and he’s Anger with beady eyes
and, uh, less fire
Shave part of Ross’ stache until he looks like Toehead Hitler. *rubs hands*
…. what would he look like without the mustache?
Dilbert with a chin?
There’s a commentary on the war on terror in there somewhere. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
i read “Not that this is out-of-character for her, no.” in BW Megatron’s voice.
Nobody deserves to have Toedad inflicted on them, nobody.
I prefer Joyce and Ross interactions where she Buscema-punches him out of the panel.
