I sound the same way, trust me.
I HATE Joyce. I can’t stand more than one of her type per day, and by the time I meet her I’ve already dealt with my one per day… at least twice.
Seeing joyce like this and having the omnipresence of mind to know what happens next makes me feel like a sick twisted god for checking in every day at midnight to see what happens next
To be fair, her mind isn’t the only one berating her for having silly conversations, although in my case its not about poverty so much as the fact that focusing on her talking about cartoons takes time away from Billie and Ruth who are no doubt even now getting drunk and moving ever closer to the most epic hatesex make-out ever seen this side of Amber and Mike in another timeline.
Me, I’d ditch the current subject, shift that second person pronoun’s case from possesive to nominative, and tighten up that linking verb just a tad. Then it’d be a bulls-eye.
The look on Dorothy’s face… man, can everyone tell? (Except Joyce… hell, even Walky has kind of a “uh, Joyce, hate to break it to ya…” look on his face.)
He came out in high school, but I think he’s trying to go back in the closet from what’s been going on since “Lincoln.”
Mike and Amber know him from high school, so they know, and Sarah could tell by looking at him. I don’t think Either Dorothy or Walky would know though.
Yeah, I think we’re past the point where Ethan’s doing something wrong here; I can’t imagine any way he could still be rationalizing away their interaction as anything other than stringing her along.
I mean, geeze, he doesn’t even need to come out of the closet to her if he’s uncomfortable doing so! He can let her down gently without bringing up his sexuality at all.
Everyone’s mind who doesn’t enjoy the simpler things in life WITHOUT worrying about not talking about world hunger/something else important that you can’t do jack about by sitting at home = jerks.
I’m feel sad that Joyce will eventually be let down but I take some comfort in knowing it may be a few days DoA time, so we won’t have to see it for at least 6 to 8 months.
Well it doesnt look bad at all in the close up, its just the way Walky and Dorothy are positioned, Walk’s fa~ace would be nestled behind Dotty in the rest of the strip.
Willis exchanged proper anatomy for proper comedy.
Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all those who work, create, parent, protest, love and live without ever fitting into someone else's category.
Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip.
Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons.
Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb
hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
Joyce is absolutely totally straight and just wants to hang out with her best friend, who happens to be another lady. This is normal behavior and a normal biblical quote to use that has no other context.
GAL PALS
OK, I said I was going to a thread of receipts together on the guy who runs Kapow, in odder to explain why I personally would recommend not giving him your business at TFN.
Starting with the original post, revealing the guy loves sharing right wing fascist stuff on LinkedIn.
Alex Maw@xjmaw.bsky.social ⋅ 6m
Since you might think it's weird you got a like on this over a year after the fact, the director of Kapow just shared this on LinkedIn; i.imgur.com/hqQYWgO.png
Joyce is so happy it makes me sad.
Sadness also made us laugh harder when Joyce find out about Ethan’s secret.
Man, I sounds like a heartless bastard.
you sound like the typical dumbing of age reader
It’ll be schadenfreude in my case. I don’t hate Joyce, but she really pushes my buttons sometimes.
I sound the same way, trust me.
I HATE Joyce. I can’t stand more than one of her type per day, and by the time I meet her I’ve already dealt with my one per day… at least twice.
Joyce’s happiness and Ethan’s reclostedness make me want to slap these fake people really hard.
I love Dorothy’s eye twitch.
She’s like a little kid who imitates what mommy and daddy do.
Including the horizontal tango? Man, that sounds wrong…. and kinky, at the same time.
Incest: The boardgame the whole family can play.
Ages 4 +
May contain small parts.
Beware of choking hazards.
Never let children of any age play with uninflated or broken balloons because of the choking danger.
But broken balloons are the cause of children’s sudden appearance in a family nowadays!
This thread wins so many things. Upvotes, internets, high fives, I don’t care. It just fucking wins them all.
Why do so many of my posts receive incestuous replies?
Because I’m too lazy to be lazy enough to type it out, and feel like posting pony:

It’s not what you post, it’s where.
Not only is she serving as a beard for Ethan, it’s the other way around, too. “Look, I can get a boyfriend as well!”
Joyce is so happy that her head turned into a LEGO person’s head.
I want Dumbing of Age Legos so bad.
Can we custom mod our own lego?
Maybe use a play doh or something for the hair.
Just keep your pets away from the playdoh, dogs love to eat that stuff.
As a lego fan trust me the hair pieces will already exhist to make this scene. Not sure if I have walky’s skin tone though
That’s our Joyce!
*BA DUM TSH!*
*Canned laughter and applause*
AWKWARD…
WELCOME TO DUMBING OF AGE, WHERE THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT ON MISUNDERSTANDING AND THE HAPPY DOESN’T MATTER.
That’s right, the happiness matters as much as people’s feelings to Mike!
I love you all for the WLIIA references.
>welcoming Plasma Mongoose to DoA
It’s like walking into a Red Robin and asking if the manager’s ever thought of serving hamburgers.
Thanks Liam, it’s not easy being the ‘new’ guy here. *coughs*
Keeping up with the Walkertons.
Her mind is a jerk? You never seen my mind.
My mind is like a living harddrive of Rule 34 and 36, also puns.
My mind is Brilliant. It’s my body that needs to keep the fuck up.
i haven’t heard from my mind since it got distracted by that shiny thing in the back yard last year… i should probably look into that
But no traps right?
Au contraire, there are loads of traps in my mind, more than enough to make me question my sexuality.
The traps in my mind are the stuff of nightmares.
Hideyoshi too?
What?
Refers to a character from the anime Baka+Test.
Baka and Test? 0:
Yeah another nonsense anime title that gets the point across. There are these dummies and they take some kind of test… geddit?
Oh Dorothy… Wait untill you finish college before you realize the economic benefits of cartoon conversations on a global scale
I talked about cartoons yesterday and the stock market skyrocketed.
I talked about skyrockets yesterday and the stock market cartooned.
I want to see what it look like when cartoon characters handle our stock market.
Seeing joyce like this and having the omnipresence of mind to know what happens next makes me feel like a sick twisted god for checking in every day at midnight to see what happens next
like the god in the bible
At least you probably kill less people than the god in the bible. That’s an upside.
And then Ethan’s hand accidentally brushes her breast and she punches him out.
I don’t know why this comment ended up here… it was supposed to be standalone…
i can’t stop saying “oh noooooooo” after all of these Joyce/Ethan pages
like i’m just being suspended higher and higher into the air & it’s going to drop me at some point but i don’t know when
Dumbing of Age is a proverbial emotional roller coaster…but it’s more like an emotional free-fall.
Now right leg up! UP I tell you!
This comment reminds me that I need to watch a couple of skits from Whose Line Is It Anyway show.
I want to ask how it could have possibly reminded you of that
but i keep hearing Collin mockery say up…
*insert more Candace laughing here*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eH3FU4UTRs
I’m talking about this kind of skit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBspwGzgnUM
And now you will waste your time watching every WLIIA posted on Youtube.
Joyce is joyful, Dorothy is distressed, Walky is wary, and Ethan is eerily numb.
He try to numb himself before he hurt her feeling.
Yeah, honesty will do that. But it need to be done.
And Jon is …J’alliterating?
I’d say Jon is just joking.
“Arms race”
Doh ho ho ho. You so clever, David.
Yeah, I guffawed. This is probably the worst pun Willis has done.
The worst.
ah ah ah. She didn’t say Dorothy says…
Dorothy, is that an eye twitch? finally you realize that you’re not in the worst relationship situation for now.
Walky disapprove. But I think Dorothy will stop him from being a motormouth about Ethan and Joyce.
I’m pretty sure every other relationship is equally shitty.
the best thing about being in a relationship is judging others
Walky seems to have gotten Mike!Brows here….
It’s official, Mike’s Brows are contagious.
So are Joe brows.
To be fair, her mind isn’t the only one berating her for having silly conversations, although in my case its not about poverty so much as the fact that focusing on her talking about cartoons takes time away from Billie and Ruth who are no doubt even now getting drunk and moving ever closer to the most epic hatesex make-out ever seen this side of Amber and Mike in another timeline.
And yes, I am also a jerk.
Awwww so cuuuuuuute!
Also Walky’s comment about Dorothy’s mind hits pretty close to home. Ouch depression.
Me, I’d ditch the current subject, shift that second person pronoun’s case from possesive to nominative, and tighten up that linking verb just a tad. Then it’d be a bulls-eye.
Joyce’s cuteness is pure energy.
Mike and Dina are most voted characters? Huh.
Now Dina can officially compete with Hannelore from QC.
Totally shipping Dina/Hanners.
SOOOO CUUUUUTEEE. Platonic ship, of course. We don’t want to kill Hanners.
The look on Dorothy’s face… man, can everyone tell? (Except Joyce… hell, even Walky has kind of a “uh, Joyce, hate to break it to ya…” look on his face.)
Of course it could be less of a “Joyce, he’s gay” look, and more of a “Joyce, pulling his arm around you does not make you two a couple” look.
Isn’t he pretty well out? They might know because that.
He came out in high school, but I think he’s trying to go back in the closet from what’s been going on since “Lincoln.”
Mike and Amber know him from high school, so they know, and Sarah could tell by looking at him. I don’t think Either Dorothy or Walky would know though.
Okay Ethan really needs to set things straight with JOyce. (no pun intended)
As for Joyce, getting too ahead of herself as usual.
Indeed she is, but I can’t help finding her absolutely adorable in the last panel. XD
Yeah, I think we’re past the point where Ethan’s doing something wrong here; I can’t imagine any way he could still be rationalizing away their interaction as anything other than stringing her along.
I mean, geeze, he doesn’t even need to come out of the closet to her if he’s uncomfortable doing so! He can let her down gently without bringing up his sexuality at all.
I suppose it’s just me that has Joyce shifting Ethan’s arm to ‘show’ Walky than for any other reason.
Yeah, my reaction was “Is she trying to one-up Walky?” Joyce and Walky have been butting heads a lot so far in DoA and I like it.
Frames 3 and 4
Forever
That award moment when you dont know were your arm is suppose to go…
Everyone’s mind who doesn’t enjoy the simpler things in life WITHOUT worrying about not talking about world hunger/something else important that you can’t do jack about by sitting at home = jerks.
Do either Walky or Dorothy know anything about Ethan’s sexuality?
I do hope she’s not planning on using Ethan to imitate everything they do.
I’m feel sad that Joyce will eventually be let down but I take some comfort in knowing it may be a few days DoA time, so we won’t have to see it for at least 6 to 8 months.
My face is buried so deep into my palm.
You’re sure its not your palm that has buried itself into your face? That’s how I feel.
It’s already bad. If Ethan doesn’t say something now, it’s all going to hell. (no pun intended)
Smoooooth, Joyce.
Sometimes you just have to say to your inner voice,

Shut up!
And Joyce needs to get a grip.
I knew people like this in college, going for their MRS. It’s incredibly depressing.
Awwww…..Joyce is trying to make Dorothy jealous.
This is so cute, and nice pun Willis, I approve. Also, Walky’s pose looks really uncomfortable, or his upper arm is really long.
Well it doesnt look bad at all in the close up, its just the way Walky and Dorothy are positioned, Walk’s fa~ace would be nestled behind Dotty in the rest of the strip.
Willis exchanged proper anatomy for proper comedy.
when will mike meet dina?
Two years ago: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/dina/
I was going to say to Ethan “Don’t stick your dick in cra-zy!” but then I remembered that that isn’t going to happen anyway.
