That’s not a Family Guy joke. If it were a Family Guy joke, Walky would be getting in on the Sal-lust, or else oggling Mike while muttering about killing Linda.
Penny would be a little young for a professor. On this note, I can’t think of many characters from Willis’ previous strips that could be used as professors in Dumbing of Age. I am somewhat more interested in the graduate students’s theses, however (Jason’s must be about bow ties).
In fact, there’s a whole branch of rather abstruse math known as knot theory. Jason could well be working on a mathematics dissertation involving bowties.
Yea… they kinna are… but not make me fall out of my chair laughing funny. + I want to see what twisted way Mr. Willis will find to make Batman and geology funny.
I must agree that “T-REX” should instead be written “T. rex” (obviously, there’s the unfortunate drawback of the dialog being all caps). Also, It isn’t a very good picture of Tachyoryctes rex.
… It isn’t “Tyrannosaurus”? I mean, I’m not a paeleontologist, but I thought “Tyrannosaurus rex” was the one dinosaur name everybody knew, other than Velociraptor.
Joyce is so going to start hanging around Walky constantly in hopes Sal shows up. Then she’ll freak out when she realizes she’s really there because she wants to bone him.
On an unrelated note, I like seeing Walky and Joyce hanging around together without him having love/fear/angst over her. Also that their budding friendship is totally realistic. “I dunno, I just bumped into them one day and we talked about stuff, and the next thing I knew we were walking to class together and bongoing about our siblings” is how I made about half my friends
Part of me is sure that the only reason Sal was in those convenience stores she held up was because those front windows were so damn tempting to enter through.
Mayhaps it is so. I knew a guy who was nearly as assholish as Mike. He took a liking to me for some reason I can’t define, and anytime we were in the same room, he took it as his mission to be my ‘bodyguard’ (although there was never any particular threat to my well-being).
That said, I actually like Mike. I suppose being fictional helps.
I knew a guy like that in high school. He heard me joke about knocking over a bank to use the money to buy a friend of mine lunch. I still haven’t decided if he followed me around because he wanted to help rob the bank, or if he wanted to turn me in for reward money when I did…
Wait…in Roomies, didn’t it pretty much start with Joyce following Danny out of math class and back to his room? Is Danny even in this class? Is Joyce going to notice Danny’s existence? THESE ARE THINGS I WANT TO KNOW.
The same hook-ups that happened in the Walkyverse might not happen again in this ‘verse. Joyce could easily hook with with Mike of all people, for all we know.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joyce glomp onto Walky relatively early, only for him to get freaked out by her. After all, in the alternate universe they had a past together & spent a lot time together with work. Different universe means different reactions.
(Although if they don’t end up together I think I’ll go mad. They’re pretty made for each other, after all.)
After all, this is an alternate universe with Walky & Dorothy… she might end up being Joyce’s biggest competition. With her to obsess over Walky might not be the one to make the moves on Joyce. (I just hope this isn’t the universe he marries Dorothy in!)
Sal… is much more of a Huntress, I think. Or maybe a 70s era Toku hero. Yeah, that’s more like it. All she needs is a proper theme sung by Shimon Masato.
do you think Mario, Luigi, and the Princesses have, like, existential crises about the baby versions of themselves also just casually being next to them in all the races
like I would be having ego death right now, not leaping triumphantly

admittedly, i might be arriving at a little annoyance on behalf of anyone responded to ever with "WELL it's not called SMARTING of age" because that's become a lot, i think the fork might be in that one, it's done
today in #9chickweedlane i learned that "how to lie" is not, actually, achieved by cupping the balls, despite the evidence of the entirety of the first panel, but by some other giant pile of words i guess, tl;dr

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.
It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.
I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.
on a Batcycle!
Bat-Sal! What a twist if she actually is Batman in this universe.
Impossible. She didn’t announce her name.
I’m Batman! =D
I’m Batman…..And I can breathe in space.
I’m Batman, and so is my wife.
So then she’s Batman’s wife. Mystery solved.
Does that means that Joyce is batman? You know, she already announced her name quite a few times! D:
No, she’s Daisy. Because she prefaced her “I’m Joyce”s with “Hi!”
“She’s Batman”
Hehehe, Jason stalkie-time commence!
Those windows are quite large. Shouldn’t have been too hard for her to get away. And bow ties are cool.
> Bow ties are cool.
As are Fezzes. Jason should wear a fez now.
Now I can’t stop seeing Jason in a blue phone box
Shit. Now I’m picturing Jason wearing celery on the lapel of a cricket uniform.
It’s the hair. It won’t let me see him in a tweed jacket and suspenders.
Now I’m picturing Daleks.
But the fez died. RIP fez.
you can buy a fez
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWYw0CnuSI
Its a fez. I wear a fez now.
Fezzes are cool.
Is that an appropriate quote given that everyone else disagreed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIfgIgispS4 :p
Bow ties are indeed quite cool. Bill Nye wore one, ergo they are cool.
Bill Nye is my Hero. He made my grade 8 and 9 science classes worth attending.
If you live near Pasadena, you can swing dance with Bill Nye! He’s pretty awesome in person, too!
Bill Nighy wore one too, thereby making them even cooler.
Bow ties are indeed very cool.
Time for a bow tie revolution?
That would make the Doctor trendy, causing a rip in the fabric of time itself!
Again?
The Doctor IS trendy. The man wore a tux and top hat into oblivion just so he’d be prepped to be reborn into existance at a wedding…

*Insert Batman joke here*
I now have the image of Sal running around with a teenager in primary color tights.
BatSal and Amazi-Girl.
OMG! Sal can BREATHE IN SPACE!
Dammit, you beat me to it.
Batman! *duh duh duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh*
Except this time, without the tragic death of her parents part.
Since she knocked over some convenience stores, and is thus, a criminal, wouldn’t Sal be more Owlman than Batman?
Maybe she turned a new leaf, now she’s Plasticman,
She’s the whole damn DCU!
Can she be Renee plz?
Trenchcoat and fedora is much more up Jason’s alley in terms of style.
She’s like Catman. But Catwoman is taken and Catgirl has its own connotations.
Catman is a dipshit. Don’t insult Sal.
So THAT’s where she’s been hiding….in her Sal cave!
I’m not sure if we want to mention “Sal cave” in front of her.
Or anyone for that matter.
It didn’t sound wrong until you said not to mention it.
Joyce: ‘There’s a Sal Cave? I want to see the Sal Cave!’
Joe: ‘Giggity.’
Walky: ‘AUGH!’
Sorry, no Family Guy jokes allowed. *j/k* (but not really) (or am I?) (basically, no)
That’s not a Family Guy joke. If it were a Family Guy joke, Walky would be getting in on the Sal-lust, or else oggling Mike while muttering about killing Linda.
Are we actually going to see the professors? Or are we just focusing on the TA because it’s Jason?
Kind of hoping Penny’s the professor and Dargon’s the head of the math department.
Penny would be a little young for a professor. On this note, I can’t think of many characters from Willis’ previous strips that could be used as professors in Dumbing of Age. I am somewhat more interested in the graduate students’s theses, however (Jason’s must be about bow ties).
Galasso could be a professor.
So could Ronnie (although he should be the dean)
There’s already been a serious study of the mathematics of necktie knots. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie
In fact, there’s a whole branch of rather abstruse math known as knot theory. Jason could well be working on a mathematics dissertation involving bowties.
It’s already been established that they’re different ages here. Anything is possible!
[including Amazi-Girl is really Walky’s twin and Sal was switched at birth with Faz]
[[oh noes]]
Professor Doc is my bet to be one of the so-far unseen professors.
Blond European with a bow tie? Could Jason be related to Fantasio?
http://data0.eklablog.com/fou2bd/perso/goodiesgastonip1.gif
LOL I can’t believe I never made that connection myself! Though to my European eyes, British and Franco-Belgian are very different.
The small nose threw you off. Plus Fantasio doesn’t wear a bow tie much anymore.
“Basically” meaning “She hasn’t said ‘I’m Batman’ in the past 5 minutes.”
So she makes everything funny? Batman is comedy gold you know.
I want to see Batman make geology funny…
All images in my head crossing those two subjects are pretty hilarious actually.
Yea… they kinna are… but not make me fall out of my chair laughing funny. + I want to see what twisted way Mr. Willis will find to make Batman and geology funny.
Batman on an oil rig drilling for oil is the most admusing one I can think of. He is wearing that bat hard hat :O
Who’s hoping for an Amazigirl/Sal team up with the revelation Sal is essentially Batman?
If Sal is Batman…. does that make Walky Robin? And if so… is he Tim, Dick, or ….*shudder*…. Jason Todd? >.>
Walky can be Manbat.
He’s Stephanie Brown. The Robin that Batman didn’t want.
Naw he’s the clone of Bruce Wayne that killed Darksied!
I can see the “Danny latches onto Sal because he thinks she’s Amazi-girl” plot happening already.
oh my, I love it when my avatar is stunningly appropriate.
Willis. Pay very close attention because I feel very strongly about this.
T. rex
NOT
“T-Rex”
I shed a single manly tear because you didn’t get the Dina avatar.
Walky is allowed to make mistakes
He exercises his right frequently.
To Grumpy Billie Avatar’s dismay.
…I’ve just learned something today.
Do you really expect Walky to say T. Rex instead of T-Rex?
I must agree that “T-REX” should instead be written “T. rex” (obviously, there’s the unfortunate drawback of the dialog being all caps). Also, It isn’t a very good picture of Tachyoryctes rex.
… It isn’t “Tyrannosaurus”? I mean, I’m not a paeleontologist, but I thought “Tyrannosaurus rex” was the one dinosaur name everybody knew, other than Velociraptor.
Joyce is so going to start hanging around Walky constantly in hopes Sal shows up. Then she’ll freak out when she realizes she’s really there because she wants to bone him.
True enough.
She settles for Walky cause Sal doesn’t reciprocate.
Sal can make anything funny.
Oh my gosh, Jason-atar. Awesome
On an unrelated note, I like seeing Walky and Joyce hanging around together without him having love/fear/angst over her. Also that their budding friendship is totally realistic. “I dunno, I just bumped into them one day and we talked about stuff, and the next thing I knew we were walking to class together and bongoing about our siblings” is how I made about half my friends
I remember how I made most of my friends in college, and its pretty similar.
I’m pretty sure that’s the best way TO make friends in college.
She isn’t batman, she is WINDOW SMASHER!
Pretty much whenever anyone talks about Sal’s window-entry proclivities, I’m reminded of the window that *didn’t* smash. :p
*splat*
“However do thank Sci-re for Sal-Proofing the windows, aye?”
This is also reinforcing my desire to see Penny in DoA…
And the link decides not to work…
http://www.itswalky.com/d/20030616.html
…
I want to know how the conversation with Sci-Re went.
“I’d like for this window to not break when a college-age girl comes crashing into it. And I’d like for it to be done quickly please.”
“…You…you really think that’s going to be an issue? It’s, like, 20 stories off the ground.”
“Yes. It’s going to be a very important issue. I need this done as soon as possible. Like now.”
“I just don’t think…college age girls…fly…?”
“What part of now did you not understand?”
“I’m gonna have to run some tests…”
“NOW.”
Your take on that event is pretty funny, but I have to point out that the JFO pretty much MADE Sal so that Sci-re knew all about her.
Yeah me too, the one Sal – Proof window….to RULE THEM ALL
Part of me is sure that the only reason Sal was in those convenience stores she held up was because those front windows were so damn tempting to enter through.
So does Jason have a buzz or something? He’s the only character whose hair doesn’t even slightly enlarge the appearance of his head-shape.
He’s pry got a Draco Malfoy gelmet cut.
Mike’s walking around, looking around, like he’s Walky’s security detail or something.
Mayhaps it is so. I knew a guy who was nearly as assholish as Mike. He took a liking to me for some reason I can’t define, and anytime we were in the same room, he took it as his mission to be my ‘bodyguard’ (although there was never any particular threat to my well-being).
That said, I actually like Mike. I suppose being fictional helps.
I knew a guy like that in high school. He heard me joke about knocking over a bank to use the money to buy a friend of mine lunch. I still haven’t decided if he followed me around because he wanted to help rob the bank, or if he wanted to turn me in for reward money when I did…
Wait…in Roomies, didn’t it pretty much start with Joyce following Danny out of math class and back to his room? Is Danny even in this class? Is Joyce going to notice Danny’s existence? THESE ARE THINGS I WANT TO KNOW.
I also want to know where Danny and Joe are. Not in this math class, I guess?
For that matter, where did Billie get to?
Billie’s basically Invisible Woman
I’m not sure we can decide this just from these strips. It does appear to be a rather large class after all.
I’m kinda hoping we get to skip over the whole Danny/Joyce thing. Old storyline, right?
Same characters; different universe.
The same hook-ups that happened in the Walkyverse might not happen again in this ‘verse. Joyce could easily hook with with Mike of all people, for all we know.
I want to see her reject him. XD
I want to see HIM reject HER
He’s done that already.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joyce glomp onto Walky relatively early, only for him to get freaked out by her. After all, in the alternate universe they had a past together & spent a lot time together with work. Different universe means different reactions.
(Although if they don’t end up together I think I’ll go mad. They’re pretty made for each other, after all.)
After all, this is an alternate universe with Walky & Dorothy… she might end up being Joyce’s biggest competition. With her to obsess over Walky might not be the one to make the moves on Joyce. (I just hope this isn’t the universe he marries Dorothy in!)
Yes, Sal is Batman. That would explain a lot…
“Yeah, I worked real hard on that T. Rex.”
Especially the FAAAAAAAACCCCEEEE!
If Sal is batman… who is going to be the Joker?
Billie, of course.
I wonder if Dave would be able to keep a comic going for longer than a year without making a Batman reference.
But then, why would anyone want to try that anyway? BATMAN!
Now I can’t get the mental picture Batman going to an all-girls boarding school out of my head.
Sal… is much more of a Huntress, I think. Or maybe a 70s era Toku hero. Yeah, that’s more like it. All she needs is a proper theme sung by Shimon Masato.
<3 Sal is Batman with boobs <3
Haha, I was all emo and depressed and then I read this webcomic and my sanity and mental health are restored! ^ ^
Batman with A dash of Agent Texas I think.
So, does this mean that Ethan would go straight for Sal?
I am SO proud of my fellow whovians XD
also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPGTizdGwSc
She is the Sal we deserve, but not the one we need right now.
