Now if someone could just make an animation oscillating from big blue eyed Joyce, through depressed little blue eyes, anger red eyes, to terrified eyes. (Yeah, I know. Too many different angles)
I think the most “Casey and Andy” way the story could go would involve time travel, dimensional travel, a B&E-O-Mat, and the intrusion being interrupted by Quantum Cop, who would explain to them why trying to quantum tunnel through the wall isn’t actually going to work.
“I’m not paid enough to care as long as you’re not planning, like, a violent crime. Though hey, I know a locksmith who doesn’t ask questions, if you’re interested.”
Jocelyn’s explanation appears to have had zero effect on Joyce. Is she just going to ignore the whole fact that there’s nothing wrong with it? Freaked out for no reason. At least I got a good laugh out of it.
In my head I’m just hearing the scene from Over The Garden Wall like
Joyce: We don’t have to break in, Becky can do what she wants
Becky: I wanna Steal
Look. Wolf, I like you. You’re one of the best technicians the PAYDAY gang has to offer. But you’re consumed by your shitty ideas. Your GF, Amazi-Girl? She doesn’t exist. I’ve been getting Clover to dress up in freaking piss yellow spandex for god knows how long just to keep this shit up. Now, I think I’M going nuts just leading you on.
There’s a reason you didn’t go to Russia with us on that Boiling Point job, because you would get us all killed.
So I’m giving you another chance. Go see a doctor or something. Settle this out, or else I’m kicking you out.
He’s not wrong. With her father in prison and her being his only family, she has ever right to get into the house.
Given the presumably high-profile nature of the school shooting, it’s entirely possible the police would have released his keys to her after they examined the house. But that’s not as much fun.
Why would they have had to examine the house? The crime didn’t take place anywhere near it. Becky was likely able to pick up Ross’ personal effects once they were finished processing, but with everything that happened all at once I doubt she even realizes/remembers that.
As for the legality: I agree, unless there’s something else going on that I don’t know about. Her father took her from school, that’s her legal residence, and now that he’s in jail for kidnapping, public shooting, and possibly attempted murder of Amazi-Girl, it’s not like there’s anyone to claim ownership of the house over her. She could literally have it bulldozed if she wanted.
Because he was an active shooter on a campus. Usually they’ll examine the shooters residence looking for evidence they were making bombs or considering other threats or in communication with other shooters.
She could take the year of paperwork, stress, and so on and do it properly… or she could wacky hijinks. Becky is much more a wacky hijinks kinda girl. And Jocelyne is playing to that impulse completely. Plus, I guarantee Becky is feeling anxious to be beginning her new life as soon as physically possible so as not to fall too far behind her friends and her girlfriend.
Hopefully it won’t end completely in badness and tears.
“Uhh uhh… SO YEAH THIS’LL BE THE BEST LARP EVER HUHamirite”
“you know I’m just trying to EARN tips, not give them to the police?”
((…watch them pull a Gunnerkrigg Chapter 55 after finding the door unlocked tho))
I patiently await the first person who grabs the new joyce face as a gravitar.
i did not meat for that to be a reply.
eh well.
Which one? Sideways or forward slightly obscured by Becky?
Definitely the first option.
Previous appearances of Zombie Joyce:
I need my femurs to live
It’s actually how Ah lost my virginity.
All Hail Satan
(Thanks to CH and NV)
but the second looks like she’s trying to zombie-eat becky. and becky’s kinda into it
Now if someone could just make an animation oscillating from big blue eyed Joyce, through depressed little blue eyes, anger red eyes, to terrified eyes. (Yeah, I know. Too many different angles)
Joyce’s face has had a busy 10 minutes.
that’ll do
what a shocking situation
And now that waitress is part of the gang. She knows too much!
“That random chance is what inevitably drew me into the dark world of the Robin Hood Identity Retrieval Gang…”
“Never get out of the boat…”
Tags say she is probably not that important, wish it was that easy in life.
tags have a funny way of retro-changing. just ask jocelyne
Actually, it turns out she is an experienced cat burglar, and can give them lots of great tips!
That would be the most “Casey and Andy” way the story could go. 😉
I think the most “Casey and Andy” way the story could go would involve time travel, dimensional travel, a B&E-O-Mat, and the intrusion being interrupted by Quantum Cop, who would explain to them why trying to quantum tunnel through the wall isn’t actually going to work.
Bob was there, too!
For example, cats have lots of pointy bits, so wear a hockey mask and padding when stealing one.
Heh. When I was little, my two year old brother had the brilliant idea of pulling the cat’s tail for fun.
I remember him running out of the room in tears because “Kitty’s SHARP!“. It became a family meme for years.
Ouch, poor him, but at least he learned a life lesson: never mess with cats.
ya…ooooor they never find the body.
hey, in for a penny in for a pound, amirite?
And then Sarah will get REEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL smug about it! 😉
Offer to tip her 30% if she keeps her mouth shut.
Jocelyne slips the waitress $20, pats her on the cheek. “You didn’t hear nuttin’, sweetheart. “
THE POOR WAITRESS
JOYCE’S FAAAAAAAACE
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING
That one expression of pure terror I’ve never seen. So magnificient.
Last time I saw face like that involved a crit fail on fear check and a trio of blood letters.
It’s killing me too XD
KILL HER KILL HER NOW!
Sure kill her in broad daylight in a restaurant where there are other people.
KILL THEM TOO!
Then burn the place down and blame Catholics! No one will ever suspect a thing!
Is it Nov 5 in the comic already?
It’s 2021 in real life?
(on that note, I would’ve liked to timeskip past this year’s election…and the ensuing administration)
That does sound like something we’d do.
Minsk: Gorb. Dis iz turnink into vun of dose plans… Hyu know – de kind vere ve keel everybody dot notices dot ve’s killin’ people?
Gorb: It is?
Minsk: Uh huh. And how do dose alvays end?
Gorb: De dirigible iz in flames, evryboddyz dead an’ I’ve lost my hat.
Minsk: Dot’s right. Und any plan vere you lose you hat iz?
Gorb: A bad plan?
Minsk: RIGHT AGAIN!
JUST KILL THEM TOO.
Waitress: Quiet you, they do NOT have to kill you now.
Some1: Well I say they DO have to kill me now! I demand that you kill me now!
*BLAM*
Some1: …You’re Deshpicable.
Waitress season!
Duh season!
Waitress season!
Duh season!

What are you talking about? This is the perfect time…
8D
* “Raised On Robbery” is still playing on the Jukebox*
Tempted to request Fiona Apple, but again suspect serious creepiness if I read the lyrics.
Cute waitress is cute
And so Joyce inches ever closer to a sister induced panic attack.
Tomorrow’s strip, we cut to Jocelyn, Joyce, and Becky burying something in the woods.
They are burying a “time capsule”. Yeah, that will do.
Is Becky an atheist now?
No, she was mocking the idea earlier…
Nope, Becky’s still Christian, and God answers lesbian prayers.
It’s that I’m pretty sure that Joyce is so shocked in the last two panels because god is supposed to ‘know.’
Oh, hey, it’s Claire.
So I`m not the only one who thought it`s Claire.
I wish. Right poofiness but the hair color’s off. And the eye color too.
She’s been hit by…
She’s been struck by…
…a SMOOTH CRIMINAL. ::dancing::
welp, we know who’s winning next month’s Patreon strip.
What will we name her? i like Clair.
Is… is Joyce even breathing right now
I don’t think her hearth is even beating.
Yes. Yes you did non-descript waitress. Now they have to kill you. (At least that’s what Joyce is afraid they’ll have to do.)
Jocelyne’s such a temptress and a wacky hijinks machine. I’m looking forward to her continued involvement in the plot!
She’s seems to have an attitude of “if we have to do it, let’s relish it.
Well crap, she though about crime and now she’s been possessed by a demon. Way to go, Christianity.
“I’m not paid enough to care as long as you’re not planning, like, a violent crime. Though hey, I know a locksmith who doesn’t ask questions, if you’re interested.”
I almost want to change gravatars again but…
Came here to congratulate you on your gravatar, read your comment, and now I’m not sure if I feel awkward? Eh, whatevs.
Joyce is experiencing so much emotion lately. >.<
If Dina was here, she’d be having a panic attack from all the Joyce faces.
That face is… Haunting.
Oh no! Quick Jocelyn distract her by kissing her so Becky and Joyce can escape, it’s the only way!
The ONLY way.
Or give her a bigger tip.
L-lewd.
I’m sure Becky is in favor of any sudden lesbian kiss
Does this make Joyce and accessory to the crime before the crime is committed?
If you’re referring to conspiracy as the crime, then maybe.
Jocelyn’s explanation appears to have had zero effect on Joyce. Is she just going to ignore the whole fact that there’s nothing wrong with it? Freaked out for no reason. At least I got a good laugh out of it.
Its Joyce, she’s about as lawful good as they come.
Clearly there is only one thing to do.
They must induct her into the main cast, ensuring that she inevitably has her own drama to worry about and allowing them to once again go unnoticed!
Quick, she needs a name! I vote Vicky, she looks like a Vicky.
Vicky Flashback Time!
In my head I’m just hearing the scene from Over The Garden Wall like
Joyce: We don’t have to break in, Becky can do what she wants
Becky: I wanna Steal
When will Joyce abruptly collapse to make the suffering end.
Alt-text: *keels over and dice*
I wish I played D&D so I felt more qualified to make that joke
Jocelyn’s right, as far as I know there is no law against breaking into your own home.
Joyce, chill.
Now I have three options, keep my horrified walky gravitar, make it into Joyce’s face from last strip, or make it her face from this strip…
I can’t decide >_<
Divide the panel up into 3 frames showcasing all of them!
Dumbing of Triangle: DAY 25
PAYDAY 2 DLC canceled everybody go home
Wolf, It’s been canceled. Look at this:
http://imgur.com/gallery/I3piYoE
Do you REALLY think that ANYONE would want this crap besides you?
Yes.
Look. Wolf, I like you. You’re one of the best technicians the PAYDAY gang has to offer. But you’re consumed by your shitty ideas. Your GF, Amazi-Girl? She doesn’t exist. I’ve been getting Clover to dress up in freaking piss yellow spandex for god knows how long just to keep this shit up. Now, I think I’M going nuts just leading you on.
There’s a reason you didn’t go to Russia with us on that Boiling Point job, because you would get us all killed.

“Okay Joyce, you’ll be our getaway driver. Becky, you’ll be the hacker.”
“But there’s no computer at home.”
“You can hack the door down with an axe!”
Lol, nice play of words.
Panels 4 and 5: THOSE FACES!
Love it!!!!
D8 indeed.
On a different note, that waitress reminds me of Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus.
huh, sorta!
watch out for when Willis suddenly tags her as “Valerie” 😛
Maybe she’s Ms. Frizzle and will get them in the house by shrinking them.
Joyce’s expression is priceless
BECKY, KNOCK HER OUT
NO WITNESSES
DO THAT, EXCEPT REPLACE “KNOCK” WITH “EAT”!
MAKE HER COME AT THE RIGHT TIME!
(I am so sorry)
HEY! NOT AROUND THE FOOD!
Nah, if you came at a different time we couldn’t see this Joyce face. We love this Joyce face.
He’s not wrong. With her father in prison and her being his only family, she has ever right to get into the house.

Ooh imagine if she could sell it and keep the money O:
I think Joyce just became a creepypasta character.
If you need help, Claire has a broadsword!
Sorry, Martin made Xena-Claire give it back.
Marten is the anti-fun.
“I must not have fun.”
“Fun is the Time-Killer.”
I wonder which side of the family Joyce gets her face-making powers from.
Uncle Rake.
Joyce: “Dee-eight! Dee-eight! Dee-eight! Dee-eight!…”
System ‘Joyce’ has crashed, please reboot.
Joyce’s expressions just keep getting better
There’s my server!
Really needed this comic tonight; thanks.
All the best Joyce faces this story line.
Dat reaction face.
Careful Jocelyne your sister is threatening to knock you off your best expressions throne.
DAMMIT JOYCE! THIS IS WHY YOU SAVE AFTER VISITING A FRIEND’S TOWN IN ANIMAL CROSSING!
Joyce’s eyes, tho
I love Joyce’s Muench-face.
She could take the year of paperwork, stress, and so on and do it properly… or she could wacky hijinks. Becky is much more a wacky hijinks kinda girl. And Jocelyne is playing to that impulse completely. Plus, I guarantee Becky is feeling anxious to be beginning her new life as soon as physically possible so as not to fall too far behind her friends and her girlfriend.
Hopefully it won’t end completely in badness and tears.
I never really inderstood the emoticon D8 before, but now that Joyce has demonstrated it so perfectly, it makes perfect sense!
I am in such suspense! WILL JOYCE EVER GET HER CHICKEN FINGERS??!?
Drugged chicken fingers, to slow her reactions when the SWAT Team moves in.
Joyce makes the best faces
