It’s important to see Walky’s upset-looking squiggly-line mouth in order to establish that, no, this storyline is not ending in Walky paying Joyce to facesit on him and fart in his eyes, that this is definitely a punishment and has not been a Machiavellian plot on his part to pay bargain prices for femdomming.

Dignity wants nothing to do with Walky or Joyce.
Specially with Walky. Poor guy.
I’m confused by this strip for a couple different reasons.
1. How is this working? Like, is she bracing her feet against the wall or something? Or is she really balancing on Walky’s shoulders as he holds her entire weight while vertical?
2. Look, I get that the farting is supposed to make this unpleasant, but uh… I mean, look. As a person who can definitely identify with Joyce’s sexual repression issues, I’m sometimes bemused by her nonchalant displays of immodesty.
1) Balancing on top of him is indeed possible, albeit it’d be uncomfortable for both of them and probably not sustainable – oh wait, Walky has super strength, never mind, he can hold her up.
2) I’d be laughing too, except I’m 10000% sure she has no idea this could be kinky or immodest.
….I’m kinda wondering if Sal and Jason’s sex talk included explaining what kink even is. Does she know? I know she does in Joyce and Walky, but I doubt she knows here – unless Joe’s been yakking, which is possible, yes.
I think Walky is laying on the floor, with Joyce sitting on him. I think David’s skill at perspective just hadn’t been perfected yet. (although, the teetering in the previous panels seem to disprove that they’re on the floor. Hmm. Wouldn’t she be much taller than Jason, if Walky was standing with her on his shoulders? Now I’m confused.)
Judging by the positioning of his legs, i’d say he’s sitting upright and flailing in a desperate bid to dislodge her
At this stage she probably isn’t aware of this as a kink yet especially as it wasn’t exactly uncommon as a from of childish bullying and/or playground torture back in the ’80s. That said she is probably at least passingly aware of paraphernalias as concept by this point if not a very limited and very specific few examples.
“…as it wasn’t exactly uncommon as a from of childish bullying and/or playground torture back in the ’80s.”
Wait, what the fuck?
I’m just wondering if WILLIS was aware that this was a kink when he originally wrote this comic.
She grew up with, what, 16 older brothers or something? In my experience, boys find farting hilarious, especially farting on eachother, so she was probably subjected to this a lot growing up, and thus thinks this is appropriate punishment and not kink.
Interesting. It’s never occurred to me before that that may be Joyce farting in the last panel? I always thought it was just Walky trying to talk. Also I think he’s lying on the floor and Joyce is sitting/kneeling on him. Also I can’t see the squiggly-line mouth Willis mentions.
Regardless, one of my favorite strips!
I saw the squiggly line mouth, but had the same issue with farting.
I don’t know how the “Related Comics” algorithm works, but they’re particularly hilarious today.
A sample: “Walkerton’s been in there for an hour”
*giggle*
Oh mine is perfect. It’s basically what happened between the previous comic and this one XD
Mister Macho Man
Strike hard and fast!
A fluke
AAAAAAA!
Professor, we’re suffering heavy casualties
Oh my. I’m Mike here instead of Roz XD
My favorite from my particular sampling is “I’m sorry Walky, but I have to get home”
Also, “a Machiavellian plot to pay bargain prices for femdomming” is my favorite phrase for today.
I don’t know about ponies but Joyce at the least has queening down pat.
Queen of the Ponies is a pretty good kink name, honestly.
So, Willis, did you know that that was a kink when wrote this?
Knowing Walky he could be into it
I am 58 percent sure that Walky is into it right now. And 73 percent sure he’s getting into it. Which I actually wish I hadn’t spent so much time thinking about it now cause this type of kink in particular makes my stomach very barfy. No shame on who likes that but I personally get nauseous at that sort of stuff
Walky’s neck for some reason looks like a doofy smile, so at first I thought he was SUPER into it.

I dunno man. Seems like a win-win to me. I’m sure this only made Walky like her more.
