Today’s gravatar is Poong Sae-Young from the Korean webcomic The Gamer, the story about Han Jee-Han, who discovers that he has been granted the powers of being a RPG character in the real world, wish includes being able to boost any stat with whatever points he has earnt, often by grinding.
Poong Sae-Young is the older cousin of Han’s friend and not only was she a Taekwondo Olympic medallist, she has super-human strength due to her training in her family’s martial art.
Whoa, nice.. thank you Plasma Mongoose!
I just started reading “The Gamer” and it’s really something I think I’ll enjoy.
I already got into “Frivolesque” recently because of you(r gravatars).
Keep on changing your grav and enlighten us about the source everytime, please! :3
Y’know, I always though a gravatar/avatar was kinda like a trademarlk — like the two bearded guys on a Smith Brother cough drop box and the phrase “Trade Mark”. Changing it at the drop of a hat seems to defeat the purpose.
I like to think of PM as doing a public service, exposing the comments section to new and visually exciting anime via his/her grav. Besides, in her/his own way, it’s kinda become his/her trademark.
“Head On A Stick”
“Bowtie”
“Yank Dem Pants”
“Illusion of A Social Life”
“Shitty-Ass Teacher”
“Very Strongly Dislike You”
“THE MAN”
“Stick-Assed Motherf—”
“Scrawny”
“Pee-Wee Herman”
“Yeah, You Know, You’ll Do”
Always did find Dizzy interesting, & not just for the attractive lady angle. A wing that is an Angel, another that is a Reaper, a tail, interesting package…
Jason’s probably a gunfighter instead of a puncher. Has a pair of ancient Webley .455 revolvers that belonged to his great-great-grandfather, Lord So and So of Such and Such, who used them in the Boer War. Not that he could conceal them in that outfit.
Interesting. I stop by to have 1 last look at Trousers at 12:12pm Western Australia time, only to discover a new strip. I thought it was supposed to be 13:01pm Western Australia time. Has daylight savings kicked in in the home of the Walkyverse & Dumbingverse?
If Jason knows what’s good for him, he leaves her at the front door. The math TA cannot be seen dropping off a drunk first-year student (from his class!) in her dorm.
Dumbing of Age: where one Dave Willis consistently tricks older readers into thinking a college freshman can be cool before brutally bringing us back to what should have been an obvious reality.
I’m amazed that this has now happened to me more than 3 times in this series. I’m not sure what to say.
Jason can’t exactly carry a drunk student up into the girl’s dorm. I’m thinking they run into Dorothy and co. and they’ll bring her up.
Even when Amber was completely determined to beat the hell out of Sal thinking it was her last chance to ever confront her, she had to have a “legit” reason to do it (Underaged drinking?! Clearly she’s still a dastardly cur!) and even then prompted Sal’s group to throw the first punch. She hates Sal, but I don’t think she could bring herself to attack a helpless drunk woman.
They run into Marcie, who will be exceedingly upset that Sal is drinking, since she knows Sal can’t hold her liquor. That is in fact what I had kind of expected for this strip, Marcie showing up in the bar and letting Sal have it with both hands.
Amazi-Girl must be out on patrol somewhere right now, but I kind of hope she’s not, because it would be really interesting if they ran into Amber in civilian clothes instead. As much as she hates Sal, she can’t really express it without the costume for fear of inviting suspicion. So she’d have to say, through gritted teeth, “Yes, of course I’ll help my neighbor find her room.”
And then she and Sal would have a strange, potentially bonding conversation that Sal would not remember at all in the morning.
Sal manages to come off looking pretty good for a drunk. That’s a trick in itself. And not too much booze, not enough capacity for it. Jason said he’s now learned she can’t hold her drink.
Sort of expecting her to barf all down the front of him when she ‘hrrrrrng’ at him.
Funny and sad strip. Even Sal can feel sorry for herself it seems.
Jason’s a gentleman, bow tie and all.
Who’s standing “over there”? The guy from the bar? Amzi-girl?
Stay tuned for another roller coaster ride on the DoA.
There’s not that much to barf after only one beer. Although we don’t know how long she had been there and how many she had drunk before Jason turned up.
I was thinking Amazi-Girl might come beat on her for being underage and drunk, but I just realized that Amazi-Girl may be more likely to beat up Jason for what she perceives as inappropriate and, given the alcohol, probably leading to something non-consensual.
I think it’s been made pretty clear that Marcie is Sal’s crutch. Like half of this chapter is about her dealing with it. Or trying *not* to deal with it.
I just like the detail that Marcie is who keeps Sal calm and civil – crutch or not, she must have had a really important place in Sal’s post-holdup rehabilitation. As we don’t know much about that period of Sal’s life, every detail like that helps building it.
Believe it or not, I have been Jason in this situation. Met a female friend of mine at a bar on her birthday and she was already a couple of sheets to the wind. Ended up doing the AoM thing and made sure she got home OK — and then left her there by herself to protect her reputation (and mine).
I did call her the next day to make sure she was OK — for a given value of OK.
HEY!! HEY!! HEY!!
Now that your NCAA brackets are busted (whointhehell thought that UAB would knock out Iowa State?), there’s a webcomic tournament about to get going over here. You’ve got until 3/22 to select which webcomics get ‘bids’ to the tournament, and two of Willis’s comics — Dumbing of Age and Shortpacked! — are among those listed and available to be selected. So drop on over and let’s get one (or both) into the Big Dance.
I’d also like to put in a plug for “Legend of Bill” (no relation or connection), but that’s just me.
You know, they mentioned earlier that they found out that Sal was a top, and now the alt text about “failing to shove each other over” I have this image of Jason trying to assume missionary position and she’s just “nope.”
Somehow I think this is a setup for Sal to start a fight with Amazi-Girl. Except it wonn’t be a real fight but both of them admitting their deepest insecurities to each other and then they break down in each others arms and have HOT MAKE-UP SEX. YESSS. (And we get 2 more bi characters! Woot!)
Obviously English guy buzzs off before all the interesting stuf happens. Or he just stands around and is totally ignored? Yeah, that works too.
I love that Sal wants him to go fight somebody for her because she’s just aware enough to realize, as she fails at shoving him, that it’d be too hard to do it herself, but drunk and depressed enough not to realize how stupid (and nonsensical) it is to ask Jason to do it instead.

*Uses all resources available to race over to America top speed…*
When you booze, you lose!
….please tell me who’s your avatar Today I haft to know.
Click my handle, I have created a Tumblr entry which tells you who she is and where she’s from.
*Reads* cool
This was a thing I needed in my life.
I knew this gravatar looked familiar.
That’s fantastic
Witch of Carnage, from the Gamer, right?
I have been making Tumblr entries for each gravatar I have been using for the past couple of months.
But I want you to tell me in the comments.
Come on.
Don’t be a jerk.
But I like being a jerk!
Today’s gravatar is Poong Sae-Young from the Korean webcomic The Gamer, the story about Han Jee-Han, who discovers that he has been granted the powers of being a RPG character in the real world, wish includes being able to boost any stat with whatever points he has earnt, often by grinding.
Poong Sae-Young is the older cousin of Han’s friend and not only was she a Taekwondo Olympic medallist, she has super-human strength due to her training in her family’s martial art.
Well.
I guess I’m learning Korean.
Or you can click here for the English version of The Gamer.
Or you can support the official release (although it isnt as far along) by reading it here
And i seem to have forgotten how to link things so

Thanks, PM!
(BTW, it is STILL more fun to ask you.)
Whoa, nice.. thank you Plasma Mongoose!
I just started reading “The Gamer” and it’s really something I think I’ll enjoy.
I already got into “Frivolesque” recently because of you(r gravatars).
Keep on changing your grav and enlighten us about the source everytime, please! :3
Damn you, I wasted my entire Saturday reading this instead of studying. And now I have to wait for updates. )= I also second everything* namae said.
* At least if you count “spending a few hours devouring all 79 translated chapters” as “starting to read”. (=
:DDDDDD
I feel like this is a copy of an anime i’ve seen…but probably the other way around.
Y’know, I always though a gravatar/avatar was kinda like a trademarlk — like the two bearded guys on a Smith Brother cough drop box and the phrase “Trade Mark”. Changing it at the drop of a hat seems to defeat the purpose.
I like to think of PM as doing a public service, exposing the comments section to new and visually exciting anime via his/her grav. Besides, in her/his own way, it’s kinda become his/her trademark.
This. Changing her grav IS his/her trademark, his/her signature. And it does expose us to awesome new things, too. Please don’t stop doing it, PM!
At last whe shall have the answer to The Question! @_@
For a second I thought she was crying.
Jason is Sal’s stand.
I haft to watch JOJO sooner or later.
What does she call him, “White & Nerdy”?
Either The Fool or possibly Cheap Trick XD [I doubt “Strength”, as such]
But haven’t those names been already taken in the series?
“Head On A Stick”
“Bowtie”
“Yank Dem Pants”
“Illusion of A Social Life”
“Shitty-Ass Teacher”
“Very Strongly Dislike You”
“THE MAN”
“Stick-Assed Motherf—”
“Scrawny”
“Pee-Wee Herman”
“Yeah, You Know, You’ll Do”
“ORAORAORAORAORA!!!!”
“BOWRABOWRABOWRABOWRABOWRA” moar like
He cares about her a lot. She means ZA WARUDO to him.
Muda da.
mudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamuda
But alcohol makes time leap forwrd, not stand still.
well, he litterally helps her stands ^^;
Someone call Amazi-Girl. I think she has the edge in round two.
Now that I think about it, we haven’t seen Amber in a while.
We may have to keep a “damn you Willis” at the ready.
I think Sal may be past round two with the beer.
This might be one of my favorite interactions between Sal and Jason.
Them’s fightin’ words.
“Hey, let’s fight.”
“Them’s fighting words…”
I prefer, “Round One! FIGHT!” personally.
Who says they can’t both be used?
Can’t beat “let’s fight” when it comes to fightin’ words.
Now kiss! (It should be a habit by now!)
HEAVEN OR HELL! DUEL 1! LET’S ROCK!
Always did find Dizzy interesting, & not just for the attractive lady angle. A wing that is an Angel, another that is a Reaper, a tail, interesting package…
You mean Jason isn’t versed in the gentleman’s art of fisticuffs?
Nope, but he’s well versed in scolding opponents with hot cups of tea.
I think you mean scalding, but if his behavior around Sal is any indication, he’s quite good at scolding as well.
Opps, I keep getting those two words mixed up. ^_^’
Like tea and fisticuffs can’t be combined.
You know now I don’t think Jason has enough moustache to pull that off.
I half expected that to be Professor Elemental’s “Fighting Trousers”.
And I thought of Simone’s name for the lower half of the Xtacles’ power armor after reading that sentence.
Jason’s probably a gunfighter instead of a puncher. Has a pair of ancient Webley .455 revolvers that belonged to his great-great-grandfather, Lord So and So of Such and Such, who used them in the Boer War. Not that he could conceal them in that outfit.
Jason is a lover, not a fighter. As we were vividly reminded of yesterday.
The Webley is a wonderful illustration of the fact that the Brits don’t know squat about building handguns.
What about Bartitsu?
You are roBUST!
Last panel Sal has no elbows.
And a pretty bendy forearm
I am full of the giggles. That is all.
I wouldn’t want to mess with Jason. No one wants to mess with a man in a bow-tie.
Well, some would, but they usually don’t come out on top. Or at all.
Actually, I think Sal did come on top…….
(i’m sorry)
(I’m not)
Sal did … probably more than once …
Bowties are cool…
This gets fucking funnier by the page, but this is also Willis teasing us about Sal vs Amazi-girl even though it will never happen.
You think so? I think that’s something guaranteed to happen later down the line.
Speaking of Amazi-girl, I can think of one more way for Willis to make Jason’s night even more absurd.
“Who- Why- WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON AT THIS SCHOOL?!”
That’s what happens when someone fails to get in to Oxbridge.
“Shove” is a euphemism.
5th Panel Sal: “Hnnnnnnng”
Does this mean that Sal thinks that Jason is moe?
Jason is Sal’s husbando.
It could also mean she’s have a heart attack….
All that smoking is catching up to her already? CRIKEY!
Or she’s about to hurl….*holds out dixie cup* If you’re gonna spew, spew into this.
She should totally switch to chewing tobacco.
Interesting. I stop by to have 1 last look at Trousers at 12:12pm Western Australia time, only to discover a new strip. I thought it was supposed to be 13:01pm Western Australia time. Has daylight savings kicked in in the home of the Walkyverse & Dumbingverse?
It has.
Things come out an hour earlier now.
Yes.
Daylight Savings at New York started last week, which is why DoA now starts at 2:31pm Adelaide time instead of 3:31pm.
Ah, fair enough…
And that “The Gamer” webcomic? Got up to chapter 32 before the English started running out. Was planning to rest up then go out, too late now tho…
There are a bunch of different webcomic/manga that I have to wait until the next update which I never know when they will come out.
Headcanon: “That guy over there” is the guy from the bar. “Come on, I laughed at your dick jokes. Leave me alone.”
My headcanon is “That guy over there” is the squirrel from a few strips or so back.
Bet she doesn’t know how to get to her room from the lobby – just climbs in and out of the window as needed. Awkward conversations in the lobby ensue.
If Jason knows what’s good for him, he leaves her at the front door. The math TA cannot be seen dropping off a drunk first-year student (from his class!) in her dorm.
I think it’s been pretty well established that Jason doesn’t know what’s good for him.
Or doesn’t do it, anyway.
Sal, the Rising fighter
Dumbing of Age: where one Dave Willis consistently tricks older readers into thinking a college freshman can be cool before brutally bringing us back to what should have been an obvious reality.
I’m amazed that this has now happened to me more than 3 times in this series. I’m not sure what to say.
There is a meeting in this for us tonight. Someone else will meet them.
Best scenario: Billie has crawled home and she and Sal can bond over being drunk and miserable.
Worst scenario: Amaziegirl gets another shot at her nemesis, and takes it.
Jason can’t exactly carry a drunk student up into the girl’s dorm. I’m thinking they run into Dorothy and co. and they’ll bring her up.
Even when Amber was completely determined to beat the hell out of Sal thinking it was her last chance to ever confront her, she had to have a “legit” reason to do it (Underaged drinking?! Clearly she’s still a dastardly cur!) and even then prompted Sal’s group to throw the first punch. She hates Sal, but I don’t think she could bring herself to attack a helpless drunk woman.
Well history suggests she might take a stab at it …
TOO SOON
Sigh … another person telling me to cut it out …
Maybe in Dumbiverse time it is.
oh my gods.
Idk, I think this might wind up with Amazi-girl helping Sal to Sal’s room…
They run into Marcie, who will be exceedingly upset that Sal is drinking, since she knows Sal can’t hold her liquor. That is in fact what I had kind of expected for this strip, Marcie showing up in the bar and letting Sal have it with both hands.
…If you really want to word it that way, be my guest.
Pretty sure he fully intended to word it that way
Amazi-Girl must be out on patrol somewhere right now, but I kind of hope she’s not, because it would be really interesting if they ran into Amber in civilian clothes instead. As much as she hates Sal, she can’t really express it without the costume for fear of inviting suspicion. So she’d have to say, through gritted teeth, “Yes, of course I’ll help my neighbor find her room.”
And then she and Sal would have a strange, potentially bonding conversation that Sal would not remember at all in the morning.
I’m trying really hard not to read the alt-text as a euphemism.
Your doing it the wrong way round.
The more I ship this two, the more I have to bury it because they still need to happen in Joyce & Walky.
This is one of the first times it’s struck me by her actions that she may ACTUALLY be Walky’s twin.
This strip is a little bit sad, and a whole lot of hilarious. I’m loving every second of it, and hating myself just a little bit for it.
…so basically just another day reading DoA. Damn you, Willis!
Its weird ifind it cute.
caiuse its alot of sadness honestly and charaatcer growth
Will you two just fuck alre- . . . oh, right.
It actually would be pretty sweet if we had a fight scene. I want to know if Jason is a good fighter.
Give him a math textbook and he’ll win anything by blunt trauma (or math-induced headaches, whichever hits first)
“What do you carry in your purse?!?”
“Bricks, why?”
“?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!”
He’s British, we’re all great fighters.
Don’t you dare…. time to destroy the ship, do it now!
What are you, a U-boat?
yes!
The perfect couple.
So Amazigirl stands a chance as long as she gets Sal drunk first!
Sal has had too much booze and is now starting to turn into Elasti-Girl.
Noddle aaaaarms !
…it’s gonna be interesting when Sal and Amazi-Girl finally slugs it out.
Sal manages to come off looking pretty good for a drunk. That’s a trick in itself. And not too much booze, not enough capacity for it. Jason said he’s now learned she can’t hold her drink.
Sort of expecting her to barf all down the front of him when she ‘hrrrrrng’ at him.
Funny and sad strip. Even Sal can feel sorry for herself it seems.
Jason’s a gentleman, bow tie and all.
Who’s standing “over there”? The guy from the bar? Amzi-girl?
Stay tuned for another roller coaster ride on the DoA.
I was thinking she’s pointing to Jason as the guy to fight … double vision and all that.
There’s not that much to barf after only one beer. Although we don’t know how long she had been there and how many she had drunk before Jason turned up.
Not much beer, but barfing is pretty indiscriminate in regards to what gets ejected.
“Good Lord, woman, what did you eat?”
“Chinese buffet. Four plates worth.
She was sober when Jason showed up, so I’m pretty sure that was her first. The Walkerton alcohol tolerance is legendary across worlds.
Sal and Jason are my favorite couple. I’m not sure what that means.
I was thinking Amazi-Girl might come beat on her for being underage and drunk, but I just realized that Amazi-Girl may be more likely to beat up Jason for what she perceives as inappropriate and, given the alcohol, probably leading to something non-consensual.
Amazi-Girl Saves Drunk Sal – now that’d be a new one.
I like the implication that Marcie is the reason Sal doesn’t fight anymore.
I also like Jason’s outraged “no!” <3
Yet I don’t like the implication that Marcie is Sal’s crutch. Crutches don’t work well when they wander off and do their own thing.
That’s not on Marcie though, that’s Sal. She’s grumping over having to share Marcie with Malaya when she clearly doesn’t ‘own’ Marcie.
My point was supposed to be that Sal needs to learn to stop using her friend as a crutch, but I guess that was poorly worded.
Now she has Jason as a crutch. Not sure this is better or worse.
Based on yesterday, wouldn’t he be more of a Tripod than a Crutch?
True. But if he named it Marcie then it works out nearly the same.
I think it’s been made pretty clear that Marcie is Sal’s crutch. Like half of this chapter is about her dealing with it. Or trying *not* to deal with it.
I just like the detail that Marcie is who keeps Sal calm and civil – crutch or not, she must have had a really important place in Sal’s post-holdup rehabilitation. As we don’t know much about that period of Sal’s life, every detail like that helps building it.
I don’t think Marcie is so much a crutch as she is a counterbalance.
not that outraged, his fists aren’t even clenched.
In that situation i’d’ve said yes, no matter how big the guy was nor how badly i’d be hurt.
So, you’d be beat up on the sidewalk, while she stumbles until she finds someone else or the ground, whichever she bumps into first.
I may be a man, but for the life of me, I could never understand machismo.
Aww, they changed my gravitar to Ethan. It used to be Ruth, my second favorite afte Dina.
That’s not Ethan, it’s Ken.
Drunk sex seems to be off the agenda, to be replaced by a massive vomit as she lies down.
No, I’ve never done anything like that. Ever.
Sal is a funny drunk. I think we would be a great drunken fighter pair
Sal — ten feet tall and bulletproof.
Believe it or not, I have been Jason in this situation. Met a female friend of mine at a bar on her birthday and she was already a couple of sheets to the wind. Ended up doing the AoM thing and made sure she got home OK — and then left her there by herself to protect her reputation (and mine).
I did call her the next day to make sure she was OK — for a given value of OK.
HEY!! HEY!! HEY!!
Now that your NCAA brackets are busted (whointhehell thought that UAB would knock out Iowa State?), there’s a webcomic tournament about to get going over here. You’ve got until 3/22 to select which webcomics get ‘bids’ to the tournament, and two of Willis’s comics — Dumbing of Age and Shortpacked! — are among those listed and available to be selected. So drop on over and let’s get one (or both) into the Big Dance.
I’d also like to put in a plug for “Legend of Bill” (no relation or connection), but that’s just me.
And also Kadi Fedoruk’s excellent webcomic, “Blindsprings”.
They don’t even have Least I Could Do, Quantum Vibe, or Oglaf listed. How can I take that seriously?
Panel 2, Sal’s mouth – know who that reminds me of?
Pintsize, from Questionable Content?
I was thinking of Malaya, but that’s a good one, too.

so far this is my favorite storyline in six months. Awesome. “Hate Hanging”
I think you could use a… different term. I had to do a double-take before I realized what you meant to say.
You know, they mentioned earlier that they found out that Sal was a top, and now the alt text about “failing to shove each other over” I have this image of Jason trying to assume missionary position and she’s just “nope.”
Anyone else noticed that Sal/Jason has edged out the combined guy-on-guy vote in the poll?
Somehow I think this is a setup for Sal to start a fight with Amazi-Girl. Except it wonn’t be a real fight but both of them admitting their deepest insecurities to each other and then they break down in each others arms and have HOT MAKE-UP SEX. YESSS. (And we get 2 more bi characters! Woot!)
Obviously English guy buzzs off before all the interesting stuf happens. Or he just stands around and is totally ignored? Yeah, that works too.
I love that Sal wants him to go fight somebody for her because she’s just aware enough to realize, as she fails at shoving him, that it’d be too hard to do it herself, but drunk and depressed enough not to realize how stupid (and nonsensical) it is to ask Jason to do it instead.
