Now that the last few stragglers have shown up in Dumbing of Age proper, I can finally show you my Big-Ass Cast lineup image. I started with Joyce on the right and moved my way left as I redesigned folks. The folks on the right are obviously the main characters, but as you get to the left it gets a little more roughshod as I filled in holes I realized I’d left as the strip actually began. Why’d I even bother drawing Rachel, anyway? I don’t have any immediate plans for her, and she looks exactly the same as I’ve always drawn her. Oh well.
Oh, hey, and maybe at some point I should draw in a Jason.

Is this the first time we’ve seen the DOA version of Ethan?
Oops, wrong discussion thread 🙂
I’m still wondering what’s up with Walkyverse!Rachel, anyway. Are she and Joe still together? Does she know about his librarian collection?
No Ninja Rick? Seriously? That’s it, I quit this stupid webcomic. … until tomorrow’s update.
Ninja Rick has actually been in every strip so far. Since he’s a master at the ninja art of concealment, you just haven’t been able to see him.
No Jason?
Time to construct the ultimate ‘ship matrix! 18 characters, 306 possibilities!
Ninja’d!
Hey, no Roz?
Eh, she looks the same, and I’ve already designed various outfits for her in Shortpacked!. I should draw her up soon anyway just so she has an icon, though.
Fair enough.
Now…that’s a cast! 😀
Nice!
Is Ethan wearing an adorable lavender shirt and jacket combination?
DoA Ethan is far hotter then SP! Ethan.
True that. He is totally buff. He is like buffer than the Tony-the-Jock.
If height and shoulders are anything to go by, anyway.
And just like that, my Drew hopes are smashed. Curse you, Willis!
This cast image is not comprehensive. I mean, for example, Jason isn’t on it, and we’ve seen Jason.
So that means Jason is so unimportant that he doesn’t even get to appear?
I’m gonna go hide in a corner and sob on behalf of my country.
The ones on the right are the most important, huh? In that case, I DEMAND you move Amazi-girl to someplace right-of-center.
The fact you got an Amber icon makes that comment delicious.
How come you haven’t added Mike to the cast section of the site? yet Ethan and Amber are already there? I know, nit-picky, but still!
Are these the people we will be seeing on a regular basis? Or just the people you’ve gotten around to drawing in a big line?
Random: Looks like your main character is also your shortest character. Although Dina might be the same height, and her hat makes the difference.
I can’t help but notice that Amazi-Girl is taller than Amber, even with her wider stance…which either means something sneaky is going on or the heights aren’t exactly to scale.
Or Amazi-Girl stands up straight while Amber slouches, or maybe Amazi-Girl wears thick-soled boots while Amber wears sneakers, or…
Wow, the Mike avatar makes that comment read about twice as snarky as intended.
what, short people can’t be main characters? ;(
Didn’t mean that, it’s just odd to have her be the very shortest person. It means he’s always going to be drawing her looking up at people. Less composition variety.
Or maybe I’m nuts for thinking that might matter. 🙂
You gotta post an ultra huge version of this on dev. Or at least separate normal sized one’s of all the characters on there. I wanna save Dinah and Amber sooo bad.
You’ll see both Dina and Amber at a bigger size soon enough, as well as Ethan.
Somehow, I never figured Ethan was so tall. I figured him more Danny-sized.
You forgot Biff! Dont forget Biff…
Eesh, that cape on Amazi-Girl makes it look like Leslie’s a bit distanced from the rest of the crew.
I know you said this is not conclusive… But no Robin???
Ditto – surprised at no Robin. But then again, without her abductee speed, maybe she’s just not as funny or something?
But — but — skittles!
Maybe Robin is fat because of her sugar addiction minus abductee skills?
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it. I’m hoping she’s somehow faculty, like Leslie. (Yes, Robin + Leslie are my OTP for the Walkyverse and it’s college-mirror.)
Heavens save us all if she’s the Dean…
Hmmm, knew Tony wasn’t as big as Joe but never imagined he’d be shorter than so many of the female characters…
This doesn’t mean that other characters from your previous strips won’t make cameos. Hadn’t Beef shown up in one strip already? I don’t see him in the pic here.
No Galasso? Really?
He totally needs to be the Custodial engineer with a manifest destiny.
Today, that pile of vomit in the hallway…. Tomorrow…. THE WORLD!!!!
Oh, wow. The whole plot is revealed before us!
Don’t you see? As the days pass, one character after another will disappear from this story as Leslie and Joyce are brought closer together.
Alway be wary of the nice ones, especially when they get the Alpha and Omega positions on a cast image..
Ethan is the tallest! Huh. Suddenly I have this mental image of him being like my high school debate partner.
This is a cool thing.
And WHY is Mike so damned far away from stage right?! This comic is TOTALLY about him! Look at it! -Dumbing of Age!- It’s his view of how dumbassed everyone else is!!….Right? <..>
Seriously… he’s in more strips than Sal has been so far…. I call shenanigans.
I really want Joyce and Ethan to meet for some reason. Something tells me it might be interesting.
