You know, when you’re trying to solve a public relations problem, SEMME, maybe not dress up as characters from that story where a government agency was responsible for ending the world as we know it.
Because in Japan, highly sexualized 14 year olds are OK because the age of consent is 13. Not saying it’s right, just saying… “Forget it, Jake, it’s Japan.”
Why is Joyce dressed up as a highly sexualized 14 year old?
That’s the suit of a character from the anime Evangelion. Don’t know why Joyce is wearing it, maybe she saw the anime and liked the character.
I know where the suit comes from, that’s why I knew it was a 14 yo.

That explains why the character is sexualized, not why Joyce is wearing it.
Though I doubt there’s anything sexual about her wearing it.
Maybe she hasn’t seen it, she just heard it has lots of Christian imagery.
Unless she mingle with the fan community a bunch, she wouldn’t know, would she.
I’m just surprised Joyce has seen it.
Maybe she didn’t. Maybe Walky saw it and wanted her to dress like that.
And call him Baka.
That sounds more like Danny.
That said, I am not surprised that Joyce seems to identify most with Asuka.
Abducted children to use in their war and ended the world as we know it. It actually kinda fits.
And is the Alien pointing at Joyce in a skintight suit and saying “are those mounds?” another one of those “Help me bury this” moment?
“Technically, yes…?”
A perfect time!
Let’s go outside!
MOVE OVER!
CLANK!
I’m celebrating

But everyone got Tang, so it’s good. (That’s what they turned into, right? Tang?)
Primordial tang. So, like, cane sugar and everything.
except for the tint, that looks like Jason brought a kid in
I’ve informed the police and they’ll leave us alone.
Awake again
Lovestruck nonsense
smooch
Not seein’ a Bible here
Already married!
You know Joyce?
You don’t have to stay
Make it go away
Bodies strewn about
News crews
Offering a non-olive branch
What happened to the NEW YOU?
Ripped away
8pm!
Ohhh god it took me a while to get what was happening in the background of panel 3
Took me a moment to realize that’s Mike, not their old boss brought back to life.
…oh.
Ohhh. I thought we were getting plot developments in the background now (kind of like that Community episode where Abed delivers a baby).
Me too…
An awful lot of tags here, and I failed to recognize about half of them.
Oh! With the green visor-shaped thing, i thought Joyce was in some sorta weird samus-themed bodysuit.
…Please tell me that alien isn’t pointing at what I think it’s pointing at.
Depends. Do you think the Alien is pointing at the other bowl of candy on the table off-panel behind Joyce?
If so, the Alien’s not pointing at what you think it is.
Could anything be more dreadful?
SMOK!
RRIP!
Barbie
The Martian Embassy…
Nice costume, Joyce.
Knock knock?
We’ve got a table over there.
New hairstyle
Before we take off
Those ain’t curling irons…
Not sure if Willis intended the joke or if it’s just my dirty mind, but the one alien pointing at Joyce’s chest and asking “Are those Mounds?”
…? Just me?
It’s not just you.
Technically, I suppose Tony is dressed as a Zombie.
Wow, that is some prime Mike right there. Good on Walky for catching him.
