Are we playing a version of the center of the tootsie pop game? “How many laughs does it take to crash Willis’ webpage?”
The world may never know.
I’ve always thought the best feeling ever is finishing a kiss, and leaving your partner grinning foolishly and happily giggling like a madwoman. I’ve only managed it once, but I remember two thought going through my head.
1. Great, she really does like me!
2. Damn, I must be awsome!
It really makes you feel like 1,000,010%.
As a great man once said

You know, I don’t think that guy was talking about kissing and I’m thinking it was at the scene of a collision…
I had a backup post prepared in case things went downhill. Glad I didn’t have to use it.
Optimal time? I just cleared my cache and spammed the home button
thatsecondpaneljustsocan’tstandthecutenessfrigginughitsshghshlaapgenornvkvfdsvoewnfckmkksnongeouesobgoifnonsf……..
How does this do that to me
Ah, the laughter of the post-smooch triceratops…
See, I just look at this art and think it’s the hoodie laughing.
Kiss was such a knockout that Dina went catatonic, giving the hoodie the opportunity it needed to finally take over. It’s laughing in triumph.
I think that would be more of a mwahahahaha!
“Mine is an evil laugh!”
But that would mean… eventually we would hear Becky utter the words, “curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!”
Love that reference btw.
Yeah great show and movie. Keep re-watching them once in a while.
Hehehe is more of an evil titter.
rule of of being an evil overlord
20) Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it’s too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.
Whether Dina is catatonic or not, the eyes of the triceratops look really animated and alive in the last panel. The triceratops appears to have achieved consciousness. Apparently, that was a kiss powerful enough to wake the dead, and even the long extinct.
I feel like the triceratops has become a character in his/ her own right and deserves a tag here.
You know that makes the last panel really fucking creepy.
Awww, they’re so happy!
This is the way the story arc ends
Not with a bang but with a giggle.
I regret that I have but one thumbs-up to give you.
As a man, I am able and willing at this moment to give you three thumbs up. Or a close approximation at least. 😛
Every face Dina makes in this is the BEST FACE.
I’m not usually a “Dina face” person, but panel two – damn.
Truly the face of one who is at peace with the world.
Or the face of someone who just smooched a cute girl. Both work.
To be fair, they’re the same thing, hence Becky having a similar look on her face.
I’m Opus the Poet, and I approve of this message.
That’s ’cause she doesn’t look twelve or have her typical ‘blank’ face in that panel. It’s a different, more adult Dina that surprisingly suits her. Still not quite on the slipshine boat yet, but this was incredibly nice, sensual, and sweet.
Looks like you’re okay with the breath, Becky. Lucky — I can’t go a day without brushing x0
Anyone ever tries to deny Dina can be sexy again…
…Well, I don’t think anyone would be that dense. But if they do, here’s the ironclad rebuttal.
So cute.
Arg….So, so adorable.
Kissing is nice. 🙂
*melts from all the adorableness*
She kissed a girl and she liked it…
Are you sure?
I guess we’ll only know for certain after further testing.
She kissed a girl, and she might do it again.
In the slipshine!!!
No.
If this was closer to the Xmas period, then ho ho ho ho ho would have been the response.
YOU ADORABLE PIECE OF PREHISTORIC CORN
Somehow the most appropriate reaction possible from Dina here.
Now comes the moment when Dina overtakes Sal in the poll.
this is sooooo cute
…how is this gonna go bad willis?
My thoughts exactly
So fear we all.
Shhhh!
Asteroid strike. The dinosaur costume is clever foreshadowing.
It won’t. They’ll be the one couple/potential couple that will make it through this okay.
The real explosion will come when Malaya figures out Marcie is into her.
I see you’ve been here before.
Toedad is going to bust in, push Becky aside, and kiss Dina himself as a “thank you” for showing him the joy that is Indianapolis.
…what the hell, man. Your fanfics are weird
Well, Jacky *did* ask how this was going to go bad. Just sayin’ Toedad kissing Dina is an evil option that The Willis might have up his sleeve.
Tomorrow: Toedad x Faz
the make out then go visit Blaine at the hospital ? 😐
Hospitals are supposed to have a sanitation police about allowing s**t to accumulate though.
They’re gonna HAVE to go to the hospital for that sick burn
Well, it may go bad in a few weeks, DoA time.
Which mean in 2 years for us. Thoooo I may have heard of a week-long timeskip on twitter.
My guess is that at some point Dina will decide that the only way to save Becky from her father will be to unnecessarily lock herself in a room with a bomb. Fortunately, since no one is going to die in DoA, the bomb in question is a Blu-Ray of Jupiter Ascending.
That was more of a dud than a bomb.
How about 2015 Fantastic 4 then?
That is the dud of a dud of a dud.
I like to imagine she’s doing Mandark’s laugh, but with hee instead of ha.
Not gonna lie, I kind of want a print of panel 2, just cause it’s so adorbs.
Funny, I was thinking I should make it a wallpaper for myself.
I would like a wallpaper of that.
Panel 2 is lovely but I want the first three panels in a print. It’s perfect xxx
Panel 5 though! My goodness, panel 5
Awwwwwwwwwwww. So adorable.
*plays “Laughter In The Rain” on the Muzak*
I’m just picturing The Lovin’ Spoonful playing in the background…
^_^
Sometimes there’s one with deep blue eyes, as cute as a bunny,
With hair down to here and plenty of money….
And just when you think she’s that one in the world,
Your heart gets stolen by some dino-loving girl.
“Do you believe in magic,
In a young girl’s [eyes]?”
https://youtu.be/y23WN9t_WVU
Dina’s reaction makes far more sense when you realise that kookaburras are the descendants of triceratops.
Counting down to a ton of people making any of these panels into a gravatar in 5…4…3…
2nd panel Dina Face is one of the best faces.
Hopefully this worked.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Great, out of context that bubble.looks like it is out of a slipshine.
Maybe later, low on Energon at the moment….
Plus I’m liking this 1 for now. Saved for future editing tho…
She covering her head from too much stimulation again. God only knows when we’ll see her face again if a slipshine ever develops out of this.
Dina’s reaction in the last panel confuses me rather a bit. I blame the triceratops hoodie making her look slightly diabolical.
(On an unrelated note I just realised that the titles for the next two storylines are lyrics to Idina Menzel-associated ‘fuck this shit’ songs.)
She’s giggling. 😀 You ever do or see something that makes you so happy that you can’t help but giggle because it’s so freaking awesome? That’s what’s happening here. 🙂
Yup, I noticed this as well. “Defying Gravity,” and “Let it Go,” respectively.
I saw Wicked on Broadway YEARS ago, but I had forgotten that particular line. Then when I saw “That Perfect Girl” for the storyline after next, my mind went right to “Let it go, let it go/ That perfect girl is gone.” That got me thinking about Idina Menzel and how “Let it Go,” shares very similar themes with Defying Gravity. That inspired me to track down a video of that song. They came to the part about “And if I’m flying solo/ At least I’m flying free/ To those who’d ground me./ Take a message back from me
I got ridiculously excited at discovering the source of the next storyline title. Of course, that song ends on a witch hunt, and David Willis has dropped hints that the next storyline will be a dark one. That actually may not bode well.
Regardless, it’s fun to connect the dots.
aaannnddd I forgot to close the italic tags. That’s what I get for being on my computer at this hour.
Are all chapters linked to famous songs ? If so I’ll HAVE to search throught all that.
Not all of them.
I’m pretty sure the title of this chapter is a reference to the TV miniseries “Walking with Dinosaurs”
Glad somebody other than me got it.
Walk like an Egyptian ~
There are people who didn’t?
Apparently.
It’s too cute. I am broken.
Young love, aww.
The alt text doesn’t match, but that laughing word balloon is definitely following the rhythm of the Jurassic Park theme.
CANNOT UNHEAR.
What was YOUR first kiss like Dumbing of age guys?
Mine was during after school make up class in the hallway with my first
(and only)GF my Junior year. She even wore lipstick cuz I totally thought lipstick was hot. And I still do!My first kiss does not bear retelling. All you need to know about it is that my next date with that young lady began by her saying, “The purpose of this outing is kissing instruction, because you need it. Badly.”
And I will always have a very, very fond place in my heart for her.
It was also in a college dorm, was also preceded by a whole inner monologue of “oh, crap, what do I do?” Sadly, there was no giggling. Or dinosaur hoodies.
Me and the girl had just left a dance and i did the cliche with the jacket and I just did it. It wasn’t until over a month later I had learned from a mutual friend of ours that I suck at kissing.
I was a freshman in college. Yes, college. I never kissed or dated anyone my entire time in high school. I was eighteen going on nineteen.
It was on a park bench at night with a guy I should never have gotten involved with for a bunch of reasons, but went out with him several times nevertheless.
He described me using terms such as “strangely beautiful.” Strangely. He liked the term “strange” regarding me. On another occasion, he told me that it’s fine if I want to be “the strange girl on the block, but–” then he went on to tell me a bunch of things I should do in order to improve how I present. I never saw or spoke to him again after that.
Incidentally, I never tried to be “the strange girl on the block.” I was highly insecure with extremely poor self-image, and the only thing I was trying to be back then was normal.
On a happier note, I did have better kissing (among other things) experiences with other guys. There was a sad lack of dinosaur hoodies, though.
It was more of a Facebattle
Whoops got hasty with wanting to reply and clicked the wrong reply lol
If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t get a kiss till my first year of graduate school.
What I’ve gotten from this is Alice is not a great kisser.
Are you baiting for a “WTF is Alice”?
Because there’s this restaurant, and this massacre …
I was a Wee little kid I probably didn’t do it right, but got I guess it good enough to get my first girlfriend afterwards.
Neither of us knew what we were really going for, so there was a solid ten minutes of beating about the bush from both of us. Then it finally happened, and it was awesome.
College, and that one Get Smart scene gone terribly wrong:
Pinned down in a sparring match that took an unwanted turn to flirting, I couldn’t actually move anything but my neck. The lad refused to get off me, so I tried the old Steve Carell. Alas, while Steve Carell’s kiss can freeze Russian mobsters in their tracks, real life is rarely so simple. You see, the boy LIKED it. One overly-long smooch later, and I still was trapped! (Now trapped and traumatized.)
And the moral of THIS story, kids, is that you should only kiss someone when YOU BOTH want to do so, and never as a defensive maneuver. That only works for femme fatales in spy movies, and sometimes Steve Carell.
Blind date, if you will, back in 2001. I was posting on another bulletin board and an impromptu face-to-face had been arranged; no RSVP but anyone from the board who wanted to meet and put a face to the handles on the board were invited to get together at the MN State Fair. Turns out only two people showed up — yours truly and a female known on the board as ‘Katie Barefoot’. We hit it off well together; both about the same age and well-matched in terms of intelligence and sense of humor. Spent most of the afternoon at the fair; then bailed for a minor-league baseball game (the St. Paul Saints) and then a late-evening snack at Mickey’s Diner. Had a great time and agreed it would be nice if we got together again. Then, as we parted and while I was wondering if I should try for a chaste ‘good-night’ peck on the cheek she leaned over and put a lip-lock on me like I had never experienced before, but made me realize that there were other things in life that were more fun than riding a bicycle!
Mine was near-accidental, and I don’t think said girl was sober or awake enough to remember my name or face.
I’m 24 and it hasn’t happened yet…*wimper*
Daniel the Human here. That’s OK, Screwball is what, thousands of years old, maybe more (You try working it out from what he tells you), but he still hasn’t been kissed by any person of interest. Horrid pick up lines made worse, little understanding of Human behavior, self-centered (much better online tho), nothing. Closest so far – tried picking up a lady-of-loose-morals, actually got some positive reactions, literally froze up for hours… XD
The correct term is “Woman of negotiable virtue”.
SHE WASN’T ANY OF THOSE!! She was just a nice young lady who had just come back after taking a walk with a young man, wearing revealing clothing and had a box of comdoms in her purse…
…And I didn’t freeze up, I just took a moment to evaluate my next move…
Well, I was 23. It happens.
SonicBlueRanger: I’m in the same boat.
Mine was… weird. I’m ace and at the time of my first kiss, my soon-to-be partner had a sexual crush on me and had confessed it and I was willing, but I wanted to make sure there was a romantic component too and that she accepted the fact that I was ace. There was also a lot of building up in my head as I hadn’t kissed anyone in a long time so I wanted my first time to be “special” because everyone is a bit dumb when they are younger. It all ended well and the kiss ended up being a conformation of her support for me and the beginning of a really awesome relationship. We’re broken up now, but lasted a good 8 and a half years together.
But yeah, I was smiling like a loon like Dina after it, because I had only recently figured out I was ace and I was a little worried what that might mean with regards to social support from potential romantic partners, so being accepted was a huge thing even if the kiss itself was kind of mediocre on both our parts. (We got better with practice and reproducible controlled experiments 😉 )
My first kiss was in kindergarten. Does that even count? Much was made of it at the time. My parents and the other girl’s parents were called, meetings were had, lectures were given. It was a while thing.
Mine wasn’t until my 3rd year in college (yes, I know, I’m not much of a ‘people person’), but it was not only my first kiss, but also the first time I had sex. Must have made an impression, because she and I kept meeting up each weekend after that at her apartment.
Now that I think about it, if it weren’t for that year abroad, I would have remained a non-kisser into my 30s…
CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE
The amount of adorableness here should be illegal.
Oh, no. Don’t you start that whole War on Laughter nonsense.
Welp luckily it ain’t illegal. Otherwise we’d all be in jail.
THE CUTENESS IS STRONG WITHING THESE TWO!
*WITHIN*
Dogwhistle_squeal.wav
This has to be one of the cutest things i’ve ever seen.
… I WAS WRONG! HOORAY FOR ME BEING WRONG!
I had a bad day, I was ill and generally just fed up when I decided to check doa, and now all is right with the world. This has just made me feel so much better.
GOD DAMMIT, THIS IS TOO CUTE AND IS REDUCING ME TO SQUEES
So can we have a future slipshine with these two cuz that’d be GREAT.
You have the best gravatar for “impatiently waits for Slipshine.”
Slipshine presents “Dina Giggles Hysterically For Two Or Three Hours.”
I can actually not deal anymore with how cute these two are. Nope. Can’t deal. Gonna blast myself into the sun. Bye friends.
Courage, it is almost finished.
Too Freakin’ cute. I really mean it. They are just great to look at. All that happy.
*loking at your gravatar*
Green and orange is such a beautiful color combination.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (I’ve lost my train of thought too many times trying to write this comment. Let’s just stick with “Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww’)
That second panel is mucha passionate, it gives me the blushes.
As with yesterday…I feel this strip. I…FEEL this.
I don’t know why, but I just realized that Becky’s eyes go over her hair.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsDy7QJ5uh8
Should this relationship go well, and Becky needs another place to hide from Toedad when he inevitably comes pounding on Joyce’s door, Becky could stay with Dina.
Since Billie stays with Ruth, there is always one bed vacant. Right now, Becky is in Billie’s bed, and were she were to leave that bed and stay with Dina, Dina’s roommate, Amber, would have to vacate to the only vacant room available…
…The one with Sal in it.
Billie already gave her bed to Becky the day before.
No, but picture it… Billie’s moved in with Ruth, which leaves her bed empty. Becky moved into the empty spot. This leaves Sal and Becky as roommates, technically. Then Becky decides to move in with her new girlfriend, Dina. Three’s a bit of a crowd, so they suggest that Dina’s roommate, Amber, switch places (and roommates) with Becky. Through the same revolving-door-timing that happened at Joyce’s dorm party, combined with Sal’s penchant for windows , Sal and Amber don’t meet until Amber is settled into her new room. And suddenly Amazi-girl is living with the William Stryker to her Wolverine.
More like Joe Chill to her Batman.
As far as we know Sal isn’t actively hunting down Amazi-Girl and trying to kill her.
I don’t think Sal has even figured out yet who Amber is, say nothing about Amazi-Girl.
…One day, Billie returns to her room to get some clothes. She opens their closet, only to find the Amazi-Girl suit.
I knew it! Sal is Amazi-Girl!
This Is So CUTE!!!
Now THAT is how ya do adorkable.
Okay, I have been overwhelmed with how cute these two are.
Is it safe to count this as Dina’s ACTUAL first kiss?
Why don’t you think her earlier smooch with Becky counted?
One could argue that the first was more an experiment than anything. This one had informed intent behind it.
Plus it was a spur of the moment reaction to everyone calling her a non-sexual child. As Freezer said, this had actual intent & feeling to it…
Does not really matter either way, is very cute !
All this sustained adorkableness makes me think Willis is setting us up for a major gut punch. #DebbieDowner
Personally I just expect a cut to Billie and Ruth. Not all relationships are cute and adorkable…
I laughed my ass off at those two. Mostly because a couple of my best non-single friends are both heavy underage drinkers.
:3 <—- my reaction face
Dina needs space.
Becky gives Dina space.
This is what good relationships are made of.
Completely agreed. 🙂 This is a good combo.
Panel is all about seductive eyes.
Short-circuited brain Dina is most adorable Dina.
Cute overload! 😀
Just a reminder that they are both only eighteen and are pretty new to this sort of thing.
Today’s copious notes:
An entire page of “Hee-hee-hee-hee…”
These two are adorable, and I’m so glad they’re getting along so well.
With regards to Becky’s “me too”, I’m heavily tempted to post a BSG style “So say we all” clip.
But instead I just want to dwell on that 4th panel. All that fear as Becky is so scared yet another kiss has ended in rejection and heartbreak and that all that relief in Panel 5 when it turns out Dina is just overloaded on the bubbly romantic feelings.
This is shaping to be so healthy for the both of them that it’s absolutely adorable to watch.
Three times, the charm, Becky. God does answer lesbian prayers, afterall.
It’s just so adorable, and cute and wonderful and… SQUEEEEEEEE!
*spouse watches in amusement* “They are still kissing, are they? Ah, how well she knows me.
Cute queers in love are my kryptonite and I can’t stop smiling when I see it in fiction or in life. Probably what makes poly relatively easy for me. “What? I can see a cute person I love in radiant love glow and them being ultra cute on a regular basis? Sign me the fuck up.”
After two really shitty weeks, this strip was a godsend. Wow. The rapture of kissing, rendered into lines and colors.
So adorable, so true. Bless you, Willis.
The D’aaawwww in this strip is overwhelming.
OMG Willis stahp! Dina is too cute! the past few strips have given me diabetes. ~<3
Well you know the song… “A truck full of sugar helps the medicine go down”.
*pictures a woman with an umbrella and two kids dancing in formation as a dump truck backs into far frame…
You mean Dinabeetus, yes?
Willis has invented a new strain 10x more potent and Wilford Brimley tried to warn us about it. ~<3
This is like in my top three favorite canon lesbian couples, they’re so cute together. ♥♥♥
Willis you are killing me with this delightful fluff please never stop.
the second panel is the cutest thing ever.
Normally I’d make a comment praising how cute the couple are together and maybe even sqee-ing to make a point, but here, I want to thank you.
You’ve captured one of life’s joys.
You’ve not only put on display (perhaps better than you ever have before), not only the joy of being with someone you care about, but the sheer giddiness felt from the first kiss with someone you love.
And here’s the kicker, it feels simple. There’s no alcoholic suicide pact, or “just for fun boyfriend”, or even alter egos here, and while i think those are great writing that give more depth to the characters, they niggle in the back of my mind whenever I see the relationship. Here though, you’ve created a scene so real that it made me forget about Toenail Dad or the fact that Becky shouldn’t even be at the university. You’ve created the most human moment I’ve seen in any comic strip, and I want to thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.
that has got to be one of the most heartwarming comments I’ve ever read here.
yep. This is what happens when Im up at 1 AM and see something like this. It might have been fueled by delusion and exhaustion but I still mean every word.
Perfect gravatar for that comment.
Ironic from someone named NoHeart….
HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE
I couldn’t help myself.
I’m smiling so much right now that my cheek muscles hurt.
Hehehesaurus.
This is adorable in a……certain way. I’m not the only here who thinks that right?
No, because it IS just adorable.
SQUEE! OMG SO! MUCH! CUTENESS!
🙂
I love Joyce, but can you just continue having Dina as the main main character from now on?
Joyce is nice, but she is getting a bit boring. Dina, now that’s a leading Lady. Smart, brave, clever, sure of herself without being over confident, loyal to her friends and damn near the most cutest – verging on sexiest – member of the cast.
Novelty effect I expect.
Joyce already had a lot of arcs and evolutions.
Overstimulation again, yeah no kidding!
Too. Much. Becky.
(pleasure centers overloaded. evacuate the giggle zone at once.)
“Sir, the cute levels are off the scale! I don’t think the hull can take it!”
“DIVERT ALL POWER TO THE SHIELDS!”
“…what, like, life support and stuff? Do you even understand how—-”
*Is crushed by cuteness*
she cannae take anymore, cap’n!
how utterly sweet! Panel 2 is the loveliest thing I’ve seen form this comic IMO 😀
Omg dina is literally me whenever I kiss my girlfriend I just hide my face for like 5 minutes
That second panel tho… *faints from the cuteness*
I have to say the eyes in the second panel are cute.
…*dies from cuteness overload* ALL OF THE SHIPPING!!!! ALLLLLL OF IT
omfg I just hit the “first” button in curiosity to the improvement of art since the beginning and… HOLY WOW its amazing how much it has improved. Everyone go back and compare!
Becky with whites in her eyes is…creepy…
This one makes me so giddy…reminds me of when I first kissed a girl. ##^_^##
Everything I could say has already been said.
However, for some reason, after seeing the title of the page, I was expecting Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley to somehow show up.
*screams into pillow* *screams at friend* screams from the mountain tops* BECKY AND DINA ARE MY OTP AND IT’S CANON
