I’m pretty sure she already messed that rule up.
Yup. The drama tag came pre-pulled. As Willis said during Dorothy’s breakup arc:
But Sarah, she could be a friend. You don’t want to be stuck with Joyce, do you?
I’d take Joyce anyday over Dorothy…
seconded!
I’d take Ruth over both of them. No, I do not mean either of them. I mean both of them.
Oh blonde amber, your so much fun to make fun of (in my head)
Maybe one day I’ll be able to look at her and not say “Blonde Amber?” right away before realizing who it is.
I can’t wait for a Halloween comic where Amber and Dorothy put on blonde and brown wigs respectively and accidentally trade lives.
That would never work, Dorothy has ears!
Dorothy’s hair isn’t all one big thing of hair and has style to it anyway, so I don’t see how it’s all that much like Amber’s at all.
It’s mostly the glasses.
I wish that they each had different styled glasses at least O_o
its the eyebrows. im sure of it.
or maybe the nose.
but probably the shape of her head.
OH MY GAWSH. I GOT SAL ON THE PC AND BILLIE ON MY IPOD. LIFE=COMPLETE.
better save the icon so you can use it once it hanges then :/
changes. I meant changes.
Wait, what?You can do that? How? Please, Just incase I get a good avatar.
This table reserved for college drama.
College is about half teenager. It’s the adult drama table.
Oh, poor Sarah… she’s going to get dragged into all teh Drama(tm) whether she wants to be or not.
Kicking and screaming all the way…
In the FAAAACCCCCEEEEE!
Y’know, I keep forgetting that this is still only Day 2 in their universe.
You know, I remember reading about not wanting to draw characters in green (due to Shortpacked! influence), then now I see two characters, plus the mess hall, in greeeeeeeeeeeen. It’s a green world.
Its not Shortpacked green though, so its ok. More of a dark, forest green rather than the Bathroom Porcelain green…
Still, it was pretty obvious that this strip was brought to us by the letter “green”.
Is that Amber eating with Ethan in the background?
Looks more like Ruth sitting with a possibly Ethan, and an extra/girl I don’t recognize.
Ruth’s hair is red and squarish, this girl’s is brown and roundish, like Amber’s.
The same goes for their glasses.
Also, without assuming the girl is Amber, assuming the dude is Ethan becomes something of a non sequitur…. (Actually, even assuming it IS Amber, the head seems too narrow to be Ethan’s.)
On the other hand, it’s too long for Amber. So…probably nobody we know.
Everyone seems to think it’s a girl, but could it be Alex?: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040328.html
Last panel in this one looks very similar, though the hair is a bit redder: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040329.html
Oh, now, that could be. Hair isn’t quite matching on colour, yes, but it’s got the right general shape and length, and the glasses are…well, at least as right as can be guessed at from the quarter-face view…
I would think Alex’s most distinguishing characteristic would be the computer screen in front of his face.
Alex was a cool character, shame he didn’t get more screentime, here’s hoping for more in DoA!
I’m convinced the person in the blue shirt is a Sokka cameo.
(I mean, of course it’s not, but I choose to believe anyway. o3o)
Is that Sidney Yus in the background there?
I’m going purely by hairbun on that one.
That looks NOTHING like Sidney. Sidney is black. That girl is tannish/yellowish. Also, Sidney’s hair is some crazy ponytail.
I cant decide if I like Phoebe or not.
Ugh, Not Phoebe. Dorothy. Why did I call her Phoebe?!
Because no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your life’s a joke, you’re broke, you’re love life’s D.O.A.
…see what I did there?
*clapclapclapclap*
This is more in response to Monday’s comic, but something I observed when I was in college was that people who spent all their time doing drugs and drinking and shrugging off their studies weren’t back for their sophomore year. And don’t get me wrong, there was BIG difference between people who did pot and drank on the weekends and the people who made it their life’s passion. But despite the image TV and Movies give of college being one big party, if you didn’t put in the actual WORK your classes required, the schools wouldn’t put up with you. I had a roommate who decided he just didn’t feel like going to class anymore, reasoning that, “I paid for the semester. They won’t kick me out.” Well… the fine print said they COULD, and after two weeks of playing hookey he was expelled and evicted from the dorms. Chances are, Sarah’s roommate wouldn’t have been back the next year weather she had narced on her or not,
But we don’t know who Sarah’s previous roommate is. For all we know, she was rooming with the type of person who could function while intoxicated.
Save your drama for your mama!
Sorry, can’t resist.

You fool! You’ve created a time paradox!
you see, that’s why I don’t write time-travel stories. Paradox’s annoy the crap out of me.
You know, I’m cool with the whole, lets go to another group once these people have reached their destination thing. But I was kinda hoping to get to see who their prof was.
You will. This is just an intermission.
Time to start the pool on when we will see the first professor and who it might be, if not a new character.
Five internet bucks on RoboVac!
Im betting it’s Les. Or Robin!
They’re at math, and we’ve already seen Les is an English prof (in that crossover strip). Robin as a prof is problematic with Roz as a freshman. (A decade age difference is not impossible, but it’d be unusual without a few other siblings between.)
My money is on Jason, I’ve heard/been promoting rumors he’s the professor of math.
It helps to actually bet something, like Begbert2 did.
Professor Doc? Just a thought.
I’m kind of hoping for Professor Doc to be a professor! But I forget which class this is supposed to be, so it might not make sense.
It has been my experience that there is no such thing as a “Teenage Drama Free Zone” anywhere on a college campus. This is especially true with underclassmen. The only way to escape the drama, on any regular basis, is to live off campus.
True dat.
On the other hand, it is occasionally *hilarious*. Particularly when you get a couple of folks together to complain about how person X is such a bongo because she acts like a friend to your face but then talks about you behind your back.
Is it weird that I had a dream about Dina trying on hats last night?
… Only slightly.
Hey he could be dreaming about her trying on dinasaur (yes that is a lame pun indeed) undergarments…
As the jester said to the king: “Then how’d YOU get to sit in that chair?”
Urgh, I always recoil from Sarah’s character.
I’m the same way, but with Dorothy instead.
Yeah I’ve kind of felt that way since she was introduced. I mean enthusiastic Christian roommates might be a little annoying. And I’ve been trying to assume that the druggie roommate really was a problem. But I’m starting to think she might just be a jerk.
do i sense a friendship coming on?
You’d think that all of that high school drama would stay behind once you graduated and were at college but sadly it is not so.
Sure it does. That’s when you get involved in the college drama. Like your roommate turning you in for drugs instead of your parents turning you in for drugs.
Most of it stays behind if you let it. If you take it with you when you leave though, well, that’s just your own damn fault.
I’m totally with Sarah on this. I LOATHE pointless drama, especially when people try putting me in the middle of it or bring it to me. She didn’t even give an introduction. Just sits down and starts talking about boyfriend drama.
But I get the feeling that Sarah is like me, in that everyone comes to us with their drama for some unknown reason.
s: Yeah, I agree that is kinda rude….
I didn’t know Olive Oyl went to IU.
No, seriously, now I wanna see a DOA Popeye.
Silly, Sarah. The only drama-free table, teenage or otherwise, is an empty table!
But then the table is lonely. Is that not drama?
Green goop will make anyone cranky if it isn’t prepared right. 8~J
Especially your mom’s FAAAAAAAACCCCEEE. When it was made from her femurs. For a nickel.
Man, you’re gonna look like friggin’ Nostradamus if Willis tosses up the fanart I sent him last week.
…Whiiiile he was at a convention, which occurs to me now was probably not the best time to send him anything.
Nostradamus? The Man of A Million History Channel Biographies?
Heck no.
However . . . fanart link please? 8~D
Random thought: Wouldn’t Joyce make a hilarious GodGoth?
Gosh I feel like such a nerd: My good friend and I had this whole huge debate about Dorothy.
She thinks Dorothy is innocent and impressionable and ponders how she could not know about the Head Alien and Semme (since sge thinks Dorothy sounds too good to actually listen to the main antagonist unless she didn’t know he was the main antagonist)
I think shes vulnerable and possibly knew (or should have known) something! I mean, even if she didn’t….a small alien telling you your middle-school crushs future wife will kill him shoulda rang some bells!
I think the head alien is a lying SoB and making that BS up :/ but alas, Dorothy is impressionable and vulnerable, so listening to him in her state of mind is sort of like doing something stupid while runk or something…
