A bit late to realise, but Roomies!Joe’s idea of masculinity seems to be very close to that of DoA!Walky. “Boys don’t have any emotions except for anger, hunger and horniness.”
So Joe’s idea of manliness is very similar to ideas of manliness heavily imposed in the culture he grew up in, as “emotion” was increasingly seen as a solely feminine attribute? Weird. I thought he’d have ideas of manliness he picked up from snails living on Ganymede.

The beginning of Willis exploring hidden depths.
Now if only he could have learnt tone consistency earlier.
I kid, I kid.
Joyce isn’t exactly being super sensitive herself.
“Your friend died. Ha! Got you to feel something!”
I think of this as being the Titanic storyline Part 2, except this is around a “real” event.
This is Roomies era Joyce we’re talking about. I don’t think “sensitive” is one of her settings.
A Martian scanner she is not.
Joe’s leaping to an unwarranted conclusion there in the last panel.
I just thought it was outright tasteless. I was enjoying their chemistry in the strip until he blundered right there, but that was the point anyway.
Of course, in the Dumbiverse, Joe refuses to pay Billie any attention.
Being with a girl who Danny shot down would just be embarrassing.
gah, just realizing how hard Joyce was girl-bonering for Joe THIS early on =p [was it after Danny had his face dented and wasn’t “perfect” anymore?]
I never got why she was still obsessed with him at this point other than “status quo”.
Killing Billie’s roomate.
WAY TO DAN IT UP, DANNY.
Danning it up since 1997!
Neither one of them would win a prize for sensitivity.
Sigh, gotta get off the Danny avatar. Yuck.
Danny’s avatar stares into your soul.
Hello, would you like to go for a car ride?
You’ll be perfectly safe.
I promise.

Walky won’t even admit to horniness most of the time.

GOD DAMMIT, JOE!
