That’s what I did! My mom was completely supportive of anything I wanted to do, and told me the truth about all the stupid shit she did when she was a kid! I responded by doing approximately jack shit throughout my entire childhood!
I used to rebel every nite a few weeks ago when i’d sneak off to my friend’s house to watch awesome movies or walk around. Police were around the corner that night and I didn’t know about the curfew law
1 more month, and the curfew won’t apply to me or my friend. 1 more day, and i can know if i have community service or probation -_-
Trust me, when you see a talking fish head on your TV even though you had already turn it off and for some bizarre reason the fish head playing a catchy commercial jingle non stop in the middle of the night, that’s not normal.
We used to rebel at boarding school by smuggling meat and cooking it in the dorm basement. ((The school has a strict vegetarian rule since it was an SDA school.))
I never honored the Sabbath and have occasionally snuck out at night to drink Coffee. Once I even watched The Matrix even though it was rated R because that’s how I roll. Sex scenes? Chyeah. I think my immortal soul can take it.
I was never a believer, I was sent there in the hopes that I would become a good christain.
Good? Yes, Christain? Not so much.
At least I learnt about the important things like the EVILS of backward masking, that humans used to be 10-12 feet tall, the Catholic Church will control the world again one day and the Pope is an antichrist.
Yeah, I pretty much just played the part of the good little mormon boy for a proper nineteen years until I was living on my own. Made everything a whole lot more civil. I watched my brother fight that battle from within our parents house and wanted no part in such an extravagant hassle when some simple lip service would bypass it so easily.
I’m a pretty dull person that way. Where some people see a rebellion I see a waiting game. Either way, my lifestyle’s pretty much the same these days as it was back then. I just no longer claim God as the reason I do what I do. It was never a true claim to begin with.
Good? Yes. Mormon? Not so much. Fun watching parents wrap their heads around that. You know… from a safe distance
Or inwardly laughing at the way Sal is basically *still* “rebelling” – with nothing to rebel against. “Do stuff without supervision”? Welcome to -College-, Sal, m’dear, where pretty much everything but lectures are done without said supervision! She’s now doing “rebel” things with absolutely no purpose. She’s DOA’s Rebel without a Cause or a Clue. Therefore, I join in the laughter. And lookit that, my name even happens to be Mike(/Michael), too. =D
I can buy the Sal part, but Mike could have easily done it without throwing in awesome, and it might have stung more for not having a positive factor in it.
Don’t…think…so. Someone who lived (or lives) on a college campus will be able to answer that more accurately. When I would ride around with my parents at nite when I was younger, there was very few security riding around in security carts. It’s like all you gotta do is sneak past the RA and you’re free. But, I’ll get back to ya in….1 year? XD
It depends on the size of the campus, and the funding. The community college where I lived in the dorms for a couple semesters certainly has campus police, to be sure. But they only get involved when they have a clearcut case of law-breaking. Like that one guy who was booted out of the dorms, and yet for a few days to a week afterwards, kept sneaking back in through the window he’d ripped the screen off. He got hammered *hard* when they caught him. The most supervision you’ll probably find is noise level supervision, which was justified in the one I stayed in. Those walls were so thin, the people in the other suite could be heard on their cell phone, if they weren’t quiet. And these suites were separated by a bathroom about ten feet wide, so that should give you an idea of -how- thin I’m talking. I would regularly hear one of my suitemates on his phone (he had no real idea of how loud he was being, nor did he -care-, I believe. he was a jerk that way), and I’m not even going to go into how bad some of the bass-thumper types got. x.x
No, but if you grow up in an environment that has a lot of supervision, it can be a hard habit to break to not avoid the supervision, whether it exists or not.
‘Tis why Sal’s habits are highly amusing in the “HA HA!” fashion, because the supervision certainly doesn’t *care* as much as it pretended to. Otherwise Ruth would already have been cracking down on this, if she really ran the “tight ship” she claimed.
Yeah, at my school, you can run around outside at 4 AM if you really want to. RA’s don’t give a shit. Hahaha. As long as you’re not out there making a bunch of noise while they’re trying to sleep. I mean, if people weren’t allowed out of their rooms whenever they wanted, why else would we have fire alarms going off at 4 in the morning because somebody burned popcorn or whatever?
Some schools do. For example the University of Nebraska in Lincoln has a security guard station set up in most of the dorms that students must check in and out with. I’m not sure if it still applies like it did 10 years ago, but between certain hours at night during weekdays the students were not allowed to leave the dorm.
“Things are finally going my way”… Congrats on jinxing yourself there Billie. Why don’t you just throw a quick “how can things get worse” to top it off?
I’m impressed that Sal can make the jump from tree to Window without breaking her neck. Particularly since there’s no ledge for her to hold on to and the tree itself isn’t directly in-front of their window.
Things have been going Billie’s way all along. They just haven’t been *good* things. So she’s just trying to reassure herself, unaware that said phrase has no real meaning.
My mom liked it when I rebelled. It meant that I was thinking for myself rather than just doing what was expected of me. I pretty much just rebelled against the school and the stereotypes the other kids ran with, I didn’t really rebel against my parents. They were reasonable, and I was reasonable. I picked my battles wisely.
Sal really kinda looks stupid just sucking on a cigarette like a lollipop. If you wanted to have something hanging out of her mouth you should have just drawn a sucker. Or have her use the cancer stick properly if you’re going to have her continue with it.
Yeah, actually if she was using it properly she’d still look stupid. Doing something that WILL cause great damage to your body for the rest of your life doesn’t make anyone look cool or whatever. Touchy subject for me, sorry. I like Sal, but I don’t want to watch her making the same mistake I’ve seen in my family. http://xkcd.com/931/
Cool in highschool is predominately based around who can be the most self-destructive and make the most enemies. Cool in College still has problems in that sense, but it’s mellowed out considerably since there’s a significant faction of the student body that’s actually concerned with accomplishing the goals that brought us here and there’s very little to rebel against now that we’re all masters of our own domain. Sal’s definitely highschool cool, but she may in fact be a college dweeb. Actually interesting to look at how her situation bears a pretty strong resemblance to Billie’s in this. Looking forward to seeing that develop.
I’m amazed to read some of the security measures some people’s colleges have. At UConn, they really don’t care if you’re out, so long as you’re not causing a ruckus. My favorite hangout is on the roof of MSB.
We need to get way too enthusiastic about this. Right now.
I’m not even kidding. I know it sounds like I am but I am actually very much in favor of getting disproportionately passionate about this poll. Anyone who does not vote for orange blouse, blue sweatervest eats babies.
It was kind of hard to rebel in my family. My parents cared and loved us but they said, “if your gonna drink do it here so we know your being safe”. When your parents are basically cool with anything you wanna do as long as your safe about it makes it hard to find something you could do that would piss them off.
We clearly operate on the same brainwave. This is my second (okay, third (okay, fourth, I have no life)) read through of DoA and I can’t help but imagine that.
It is beautiful. In a truly horrific, mind-rapey way.
Loading ...
Yeah, we know, Joyce… ^_^
Yeah, I’d of rebelled too, but for the same reasons as Joyce.
My reasons are laziness.
My reason is that I have no reason to rebel.
You should have rebelled against the fact you had no reason to rebel.
That’s what I did! My mom was completely supportive of anything I wanted to do, and told me the truth about all the stupid shit she did when she was a kid! I responded by doing approximately jack shit throughout my entire childhood!
I was kinda bored, actually.
This made me giggle.
So you’re a Rebel Without a Cause?
I used to rebel every nite a few weeks ago when i’d sneak off to my friend’s house to watch awesome movies or walk around. Police were around the corner that night and I didn’t know about the curfew law
1 more month, and the curfew won’t apply to me or my friend. 1 more day, and i can know if i have community service or probation -_-
I wanna see this rebel bingo card.
The free space in the middle is “Fuck you, Mom and Dad!”
It’s a shame when you can’t fill that one out.
I doubt I could have ever scored a BINGO on a rebel card when I was a kid.
I missed my chance 10 years ago when my dad died…that and I loved him them too much to say that as a ten year old lol
Your will be done, forumites!
http://www.mediafire.com/?crqb6c3bglc880c
You do know that women can be “Sterotypical awesome loner rebels” too right?
No BINGO for me.
Pansey!
The Mike bingo card gains a number for every mother of the world. But Mike can always shout “Bingo!”
Joyce, you can always choose to become a Rule Abiding Rebel.
Nooooo! It’s not fair. It was bedtime dammit!
Sleep is over-rated anyhow, just ask the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
If you don’t get enough sleep you start seeing things, man.
Like talking ponies?
No, talking fish heads and hearing a catchy commercial jingle over and over and over again even though everyone’s asleep and you turned off your TV.
That’s not normal?
Only if you got one of those Singing Basses.
Trust me, when you see a talking fish head on your TV even though you had already turn it off and for some bizarre reason the fish head playing a catchy commercial jingle non stop in the middle of the night, that’s not normal.
Eat them up, Yum!
I wanna see a Mike and Sal fight, that would be epic.
second
I wanna see a mike and sal fuck. That would be epic
YOU SAID WHAT I WAS THINKING
hoorray for comics all week
Hooray, indeed.
My mom rebelled as a teenager. She drank soda back when it was against the rules of the LDS to do so. *lol*
We used to rebel at boarding school by smuggling meat and cooking it in the dorm basement. ((The school has a strict vegetarian rule since it was an SDA school.))
SDA?
Seventh-day Adventist
I never honored the Sabbath and have occasionally snuck out at night to drink Coffee. Once I even watched The Matrix even though it was rated R because that’s how I roll. Sex scenes? Chyeah. I think my immortal soul can take it.
I was never a believer, I was sent there in the hopes that I would become a good christain.
Good? Yes, Christain? Not so much.
At least I learnt about the important things like the EVILS of backward masking, that humans used to be 10-12 feet tall, the Catholic Church will control the world again one day and the Pope is an antichrist.
Oh hey I learned all that stuff too! Via Jack Chick.
Yeah, I pretty much just played the part of the good little mormon boy for a proper nineteen years until I was living on my own. Made everything a whole lot more civil. I watched my brother fight that battle from within our parents house and wanted no part in such an extravagant hassle when some simple lip service would bypass it so easily.

Good? Yes. Mormon? Not so much. Fun watching parents wrap their heads around that. You know… from a safe distance
The current pope seems like a chill guy…
At first glance, I thought you said she rebelled by drinking soda and doing LSD. That’s what I get for skimming, I guess:)
I think Mike is jealous of Sal.
Or inwardly laughing at the way Sal is basically *still* “rebelling” – with nothing to rebel against. “Do stuff without supervision”? Welcome to -College-, Sal, m’dear, where pretty much everything but lectures are done without said supervision! She’s now doing “rebel” things with absolutely no purpose. She’s DOA’s Rebel without a Cause or a Clue. Therefore, I join in the laughter. And lookit that, my name even happens to be Mike(/Michael), too. =D
Or old habits are hard to break, especially when she sees no reason to break them.
Nearly as hard to break as femurs.
An yet Mike is the most Rebel out of them all.
Mike rebels against the very concept of ‘rebel’.
Mike rebels against everything. NO EXCEPTIONS.
No exceptions huh? Does Mike rebel against Mike?
Of course, when he’s drunk.
Mike punches rebellion in the face.
Ah, it’s the strip I watched David Willis draw using the power of the Interwebs.
High powered binoculars may or may not have also been involved.
The next comic consists solely of Sal freaking out over the realization of how mad she’s made her parents over the years.
Billie looks absolutely relieved. Maybe she won’t crack as hard as we thought.
I’m not entirely sure if Mike insulted Sal, complimented her, or both.
Mike certainly meant it as an insult, because he’s Mike. Sal certainly took it as an insult, looking at her eyes and crossed arms in the last panel.
I can buy the Sal part, but Mike could have easily done it without throwing in awesome, and it might have stung more for not having a positive factor in it.
I there really that much supervision in a college dorm?
Don’t…think…so. Someone who lived (or lives) on a college campus will be able to answer that more accurately. When I would ride around with my parents at nite when I was younger, there was very few security riding around in security carts. It’s like all you gotta do is sneak past the RA and you’re free. But, I’ll get back to ya in….1 year? XD

You don’t have to sneak past the RA. You can just walk past.
You’re *allowed to leave*.
No, but if you grow up in an environment that has a lot of supervision, it can be a hard habit to break to not avoid the supervision, whether it exists or not.
‘Tis why Sal’s habits are highly amusing in the “HA HA!” fashion, because the supervision certainly doesn’t *care* as much as it pretended to. Otherwise Ruth would already have been cracking down on this, if she really ran the “tight ship” she claimed.

Mmm, college.

I’m not sure if it still applies like it did 10 years ago, but between certain hours at night during weekdays the students were not allowed to leave the dorm.
Far, far more than you would think, and yet, very little at the same time.
“Things are finally going my way”… Congrats on jinxing yourself there Billie. Why don’t you just throw a quick “how can things get worse” to top it off?
I’m impressed that Sal can make the jump from tree to Window without breaking her neck. Particularly since there’s no ledge for her to hold on to and the tree itself isn’t directly in-front of their window.
Things have been going Billie’s way all along. They just haven’t been *good* things. So she’s just trying to reassure herself, unaware that said phrase has no real meaning.
“Things are going my way” is the opposite of “Things are going against me.” Incidentally.
Things are working out in her favor.
The phrase certainly has a meaning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI4Ojgz5Qo4
So little meaning.
Oh, Joyce… She’s so clueless, it’s almost adorable… ALMOST.
Is it just me, or are Mike and Sal looking ate each other like… oh no.
So what do we call Sal x Mike? I’m going with “Sike”. Works pretty well for both of them.
Go for it, dude.
i approve!
“I’d rebel, but it’d make my parents mad.”
I’d buy a T-shirt with that printed on it. Heck, I’d conceive children just to have them wear t-shirts like that.
But then they might actually rebel and then the shirt was a lie. Yay for mixing memes.
My mom liked it when I rebelled. It meant that I was thinking for myself rather than just doing what was expected of me. I pretty much just rebelled against the school and the stereotypes the other kids ran with, I didn’t really rebel against my parents. They were reasonable, and I was reasonable. I picked my battles wisely.
Ummmmmmmm, Joyce? That is kind of the idea.
Pissed mike is pissed :-O
Haha, oh Joyce, you’re so cute.
I’d rebel, but the power of my morals forbids me to. That and I’m too lazy to strike up an effort.
How long are you gonna keep that cig in your mouth, Sal? I’m pretty sure that is not how smoking works, so you can stop chewing on it.
Smoking goes like this:
1. Light up.
2. Inhale.
3. Take it out and blow.
4. Enjoy the dopamine rush, repeat 2-3 until bored.
I think you got stuck before step 1.
Well, she was going to light it up but then Billie showed up.
How turrible is it that the first thought that went through my head was “awwwww poor mike”
Sal really kinda looks stupid just sucking on a cigarette like a lollipop. If you wanted to have something hanging out of her mouth you should have just drawn a sucker. Or have her use the cancer stick properly if you’re going to have her continue with it.

I wear a fanny pack and no one else does! I’m totally a rebel!
Guys. Guys.
New poll. And it’s about Joyce’s wardrobe..
We need to get way too enthusiastic about this. Right now.
I’m not even kidding. I know it sounds like I am but I am actually very much in favor of getting disproportionately passionate about this poll. Anyone who does not vote for orange blouse, blue sweatervest eats babies.
Babies.
Harlequin babies no less!

When your parents are basically cool with anything you wanna do as long as your safe about it makes it hard to find something you could do that would piss them off.
You’re not with your parents anymore Joyce.
Is nobody shipping MikexSal?
We clearly operate on the same brainwave. This is my second (okay, third (okay, fourth, I have no life)) read through of DoA and I can’t help but imagine that.
It is beautiful. In a truly horrific, mind-rapey way.
That’s the whole point of rebelling!To ignore what your parents say!
Rereading old strips – was Joyce’s comment in the last panel foreshadowing?
Well, it took time, but she’s getting there.
