um… do you not fantasize about things ever, when you masturbate?
like, ethan’s probably not just going to keep his mind a total blank while he does it or whatever
it seems like indulging himself in fantasies would be viewed as encouraging it, more than anything else
How much is he really trying to repress his homosexuality? Certainly his parents don’t approve, and he is avoiding public knowledge about his homosexuality, but he seems otherwise comfortable with his sexuality.
And before I get jumped on, yes, I know that bisexuality and pansexuality are things. But Ethan has never said that he’s bi, just that being gay was too hard and that he wanted to try to be straight again.
No, he’s dating a woman who knows he’s gay, so that he doesn’t have to deal with being defined by his gayness, which isn’t repressed at all. He’s not uncomfortable with himself, he’s uncomfortable with the way others define him. Joyce on the other hand gets to engage in her fantasies while still feeling safe and there is lots of repression involved.
He’s dating a woman, who knows he’s gay only because Amber brow-beat him into telling her, and has led her to believe that she can “fix” him and have with him the heterosexual relationship she obviously aspires to, with marriage and regular post-marital Jesus-approved banging and fruitful multiplication.
I’m not entirely clear on to what extent Ethan has actually bought into this plan, but whether he really believes it can work or not, he is actively cooperating with it. If he keeps on like he has, he’s going to end up married to a woman, having unsatisfying sex as infrequently as he can get away with it, and pretending that this is what he’s always wanted.
If that’s not repressing his sexuality, I don’t know what is.
Makes sense. Those pants are all that contain Sarah’s wiles under normal circumstances, so it makes sense that they’d be wile-proof. It’s like how lead shielding can protect you from radiation.
Ya see no reaction big enough would suffice, so the funny here is that she went full circle and simply calmly walked out of the room and allll the way to the common room with pants still on her face.
But I’m with Yoto on this. Admittedly alot of this day has taken place in poorly lit rooms, but I thought we were at least 4PM or so with Billie and Ruth.
It could easily be ANY TIME YOU WANT, because who uses analogue clocks anymore?! I mean, shit takes fuckin’ AA batteries! Gotta save those for vibrators!
You know what? I’m on Joyce’s side. Not on her views on masturbation in general, but come on, there’s a roommate code. You’re supposed to at least *pretend* you don’t masturbate in the room.
Yeah, but I sort of suspect Joyce would use that to try to stop Sarah from masturbating /ever/. Not saying Sarah is in the right here, but I’m not sure Joyce is, either.
Masturbating in a dorm room is a joy for four o’clock in the morning when you think your roommate is asleep, or for those fleeting moments when you get back in the afternoon and your roommate isn’t done with classes yet.
(Of course, Sarah’s probably followed this code so far, and is breaking it as payback for Joyce sticking the rabbit attachment up her nose.)
Does that mean they replaced the hip Ruth Broke too? If so that means they can replace other one Ruth’s about to break because I don’t think Billie won’t be walking properly after her night done.
And somewhere, at the exact moment panel three is taking place, Joe suddenly and inexplicably wishes he was Joyce for the first and last time in his life. He has keenly honed sexy senses.
The Muffin Man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon, he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and, brushing his scapular aside, proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt.
He turns to us and speaks:
“Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one, care less for them.”
Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil, he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says: “Some people, some people like cupcakes exclusively, while I myself say there is naught, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on the face of God’s grey earth as that prince of foods, the Muffin!”
Zmm Joyce freaked out about it when she discovered she had shoved the rabbit up her nose, while playing with it and trying to figure out what it was used for.
Much to Sarah’s chagrin when she walked in on her.
I’m not sure the comment from Joyce in the 4th panel was necessary. I think I’d prefer it to just show that, yes, contrary to her earlier statement, Joyce left the room eventually.
Like the Mononoke dub, which is very, very good, except for that one scene where the main character realizes his body is still being consumed by the curse, and in the original, it just shows him stare and flinch in silence, as it lets that sink in, but they felt the need to make the actor in the dub say “It’s still there”.
But it might be just because it stretches my suspension of belief a bit that she says that sentence after the fact, with no one there to hear her.
She’s not certain that nobody is there to hear her. She can’t see whether she’s alone.
Perhaps Dina will appear. “I don’t understand THIS game. You don’t appear to be superficially mirroring the actions of others in a futile attempt at assimilation anymore, though.”
yeah… yeah i have…
I’ve also been sexiled by people in my own bed. the second time it happened, i stumbled in drunk, got naked and jumped in bed with them and proceeded to pass out. just before passing out, i remember them running into the hall naked, freaking out. it never happened again.

Pants.
Only squares wear them.
Skirts mean you can keep modest and still get pleasure.
Then can we please make kilts casual wear for men, I’m tired of only the fairer sex being allowed a breeze down there.
They are if you choose for them to be. Which I do.
Perfect avatar.
Now imagining Joe in a kilt…
ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew
Can someone fanart this?
Pants are the new face.
Face is the new pants.
Face is the new pants.
Face is the new pants.
My face is female size 22 pants
“Face Is The Place!”
except for ethan >:
Well, he can be helping himself…you know, just like Sarah is. We just hvnt seen it.
oh dang
I kind of wonder if he even does, though?
since he’s trying to avoid temptation and repress his sexuality and all that
Its likely the only thing keeping him sane and not pouncing on Danny like rabid man-couger.
I would think common decency would be the thing keeping him from pouncing on danny…?
Smirks Not in my head cannon.
Speaking of which, in a couple more years it’ll be November in DoA time…
So… the DoA characters will be writing 50,000-word novels?
It’s homosexuality specifically that he’s trying to repress, which really doesn’t have anything to do with masturbation.
um… do you not fantasize about things ever, when you masturbate?
like, ethan’s probably not just going to keep his mind a total blank while he does it or whatever
it seems like indulging himself in fantasies would be viewed as encouraging it, more than anything else
How much is he really trying to repress his homosexuality? Certainly his parents don’t approve, and he is avoiding public knowledge about his homosexuality, but he seems otherwise comfortable with his sexuality.
He is dating a woman. So that’s pretty repressed.
And before I get jumped on, yes, I know that bisexuality and pansexuality are things. But Ethan has never said that he’s bi, just that being gay was too hard and that he wanted to try to be straight again.
Thus: repressed.
No, he’s dating a woman who knows he’s gay, so that he doesn’t have to deal with being defined by his gayness, which isn’t repressed at all. He’s not uncomfortable with himself, he’s uncomfortable with the way others define him. Joyce on the other hand gets to engage in her fantasies while still feeling safe and there is lots of repression involved.
He’s dating a woman, who knows he’s gay only because Amber brow-beat him into telling her, and has led her to believe that she can “fix” him and have with him the heterosexual relationship she obviously aspires to, with marriage and regular post-marital Jesus-approved banging and fruitful multiplication.
I’m not entirely clear on to what extent Ethan has actually bought into this plan, but whether he really believes it can work or not, he is actively cooperating with it. If he keeps on like he has, he’s going to end up married to a woman, having unsatisfying sex as infrequently as he can get away with it, and pretending that this is what he’s always wanted.
If that’s not repressing his sexuality, I don’t know what is.
Watch him show up for Joyce to offer him another make out session just so he can turn it down and go to his room to do the same.
Masturbating with Joyce in the room is actually her kink.
Sarah’s kink or Joyce’s ?
Yes
Joyce’s kink is masturbating while Joyce is in the room.
yes
She enjoys the corruption of the pure.
Of course, who doesn’t?
“Aw.C’mon, Sarah, we can play with them together! You can shove ’em around if I get to make the noises!”
That was quite a Freudian comment. +1 internet
It’s a quote from an earlier strip.
Lol, which one???
Noises
For those who prefer a link
I know, which is why I give you one hundred internets
“Your misery, it sustains me Joyce!” -shudder-
Even Joyce got some. She got some trousers RIGHT to the face.
She got on to Sarah’s pants. Not quite the same as getting into them.
Sarah’s pants got onto Joyce, though
Bah, semantics!
She will, sooner or later.
Indirect cunnilingus.
I like the way you think.
Two in the pink, one in the stink.
are you talking about pant legs or
[/sarcasm] btw
Two in the cute and one in the poot.
Nice pants, Sarah. Although they’d look better hanging off my face!
Why is Joyce still wearing the pants on her face?
Lesbian shield.
Your feminine wiles will never reach me through THESE, Sarah!
Makes sense. Those pants are all that contain Sarah’s wiles under normal circumstances, so it makes sense that they’d be wile-proof. It’s like how lead shielding can protect you from radiation.
“plus they smell kinda nice”
Joyce can pair them with the shirt she lent Sal.
All Joyce needs now is Sal’s bike and Billie’s boobs and she’s set.
Wow, it’s like building a whole new person out of specific fetishes! Just needs some Ethan tushie.
Them’s the rules.
Get on it, Yotomoe.
You know how Joyce makes these really over the top reaction faces when something shocks her?
And you know how your mother always used to tell you not to make faces, or they’ll stick that way?
Joyce needs to hide the fact that she’s currently sporting a hilarious reaction face and it won’t go away.
They’re warm.
There’s still the mild chance she might accidentally see something distressing.
… Joyce seems to be keeping those pants on her face a curiously long time. Hmmm.
Sarah’s pretty serious.
She takes her “Self Love” very seriousely.
Nobody else does. Love her, I mean. Besides chat people, and since they’re not part of the Dumbiverse, they don’t count.
Joyce should’ve tied those pants onto the doorknob
I’m confused. Why did we smash cut? There was too much lost in that comedic smash cut.
I wanted to see Joyce’s haunted/horrified reaction too!
Ya see no reaction big enough would suffice, so the funny here is that she went full circle and simply calmly walked out of the room and allll the way to the common room with pants still on her face.
It’s a subtle reminder that we’re less than a month out from the new Super Smash Bros.
Damn Sarah, we don’t go to the nuclear option so quickly. It’s masturbating mutually assured destruction!
That is a death worth dying.
The little death.
You underestimate the sexual hunger of a woman who hasn’t had it since God know how long.
Sarah and Other Jacob pound each other every night in the most epic of hatefucks
So she’s thinking of everyone she hates while she’s doing it ?
Oldies ‘splains it all!
The pants help repress the mental image.
So pants are the new mind wipe ?
So did the sheer force of her masturbating fling Joyce into the hall, or did she start and Joyce ran away?
That…reminds me of an episode of the H-anime La Blue Girl @_@U
The room became densely filled with Adult energy and Joyce’s christian purity created a barrier and flung her into the lobby.
The force of it warped space time and opened a wormhole under Joyce’s feet.
It also took her five minutes back in time. When she gets back to the room she’ll be just in time to witness the event all over again.
Wibbly wobbly, fappy wappy.
This deserves a +1! for the “fappy wappy”. Except girls don’t “fap” when they fap, it’s more of a “schik slick” noise.
For the next fifteen minutes, they don’t know each other.
Joyce can’t remember what happened so why should we?
My sides are aching XD XD XD
Sarah’s insides are aching.
Wrong. They are quaking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuoXkMZvD5Q
Cause The Walls Start Shaking
The Earth Was Quaking
My Mind Was Aching…
Oh baby!
Sarah masturbating raises the question: Can you hatefuck yourself?
If anyone could, it would be Sarah.
Good thing too, because Charisma is Sarah’s dump stat.
So… *looks at the clock in the last panel* Is it supposed to be 3:30PM in the dumbiverse right now? Are we really only halfway through this day?
Yeah WHAT? I thought it was like Afternoon when Billy and Ruth were banging.
it looks more like 2:25pm to me, though admittedly, I was always shit at reading clocks
Yeah, it’s closer to 2:25 I think.
But I’m with Yoto on this. Admittedly alot of this day has taken place in poorly lit rooms, but I thought we were at least 4PM or so with Billie and Ruth.
It could easily be ANY TIME YOU WANT, because who uses analogue clocks anymore?! I mean, shit takes fuckin’ AA batteries! Gotta save those for vibrators!
It would not surprise me if the clock in a college common area was wrong. Or sideways. These things happen.
You know what? I’m on Joyce’s side. Not on her views on masturbation in general, but come on, there’s a roommate code. You’re supposed to at least *pretend* you don’t masturbate in the room.
Yeah, but I sort of suspect Joyce would use that to try to stop Sarah from masturbating /ever/. Not saying Sarah is in the right here, but I’m not sure Joyce is, either.
She can’t be there all the time. You wait until you know they have a class, then you take care of business. It is The College Way.
Notice how it wasn’t a gross thing until she knew where it’d been
Hear, hear!
Masturbating in a dorm room is a joy for four o’clock in the morning when you think your roommate is asleep, or for those fleeting moments when you get back in the afternoon and your roommate isn’t done with classes yet.
(Of course, Sarah’s probably followed this code so far, and is breaking it as payback for Joyce sticking the rabbit attachment up her nose.)
I really hope she washed it after that
Oh, man, I had a whole system for arranging the sheets in such a way as to give meself a surreptitious handy if I woke up late at night.
lol, college memories
And because you wrote meself instead of myself, I’m now imagining that you are a pirate and went to pirate college.
Harrrrrvarrrrrrd?
Not Yarrle?
Damnit people, you’re like ten days early…
Had a roommate in college that was the male equivalent of Sarah. No subtlety, no pretense, no escaping knowledge of what was going on 6 feet away…
That… is commitment to self love. I’m impressed in a bad way.
Joyce took that rather well
There’s a pool table in the common room? Whoa.
Ya I thought Ruth broke that when she threw Billie into it ?
Billie’s family is loaded. It was immediately replaced.
Does that mean they replaced the hip Ruth Broke too? If so that means they can replace other one Ruth’s about to break because I don’t think Billie won’t be walking properly after her night done.
She threw Billie into a chair, and it fell over but didn’t break. I am sure of this even though I did not go back and check just now.
Bravo, Willis, Bravo.
Cockblocking a vibrator? Bad form Joyce.
And with coming off that signals a very sexual evening for Five people
Will this be on slipshine too?
I’m surprised Joyce isn’t freaking out more…
She freaking out internally.
You should have said please Joyce… maybe it wouldn’t stop her but it would probably have helped…
Karma is a harsh mistress…
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/02-i-was-a-teenage-churchmouse/dressing/
Such karma..much awesome observation… wow!
So… I haven’t been counting the days, but…. haven’t we been in September this whole time? Not that I’m complaining.
It’s been about 25 days, so it’s now late September.
It is always September
ALWAYS!
And somewhere, at the exact moment panel three is taking place, Joe suddenly and inexplicably wishes he was Joyce for the first and last time in his life. He has keenly honed sexy senses.
She’s never bluffin’ ’bout her muffin, Joyce.
Now she’s busy buffing and stuffing.
…and huffing and puffing?
And rebuffin’ the MacGuffin.
The Muffin Man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon, he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and, brushing his scapular aside, proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt.
He turns to us and speaks:
“Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one, care less for them.”
Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil, he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says: “Some people, some people like cupcakes exclusively, while I myself say there is naught, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on the face of God’s grey earth as that prince of foods, the Muffin!”
I didn’t see nearly as many slipshine jokes about Sarah teaching Joyce about that item in detail before she went to the common area haha.
Joyce didn’t freak out nearly as much as I would guess… I’m guessing she doesn’t hate that sorta thing as much as other stuff.
Joyce, take those pants off your head before someone makes a rude and offensive comment about your mental faculties.
Don’t worry, Charlotte lives in a different dorm.
My theory is she just teleported. There was no buzzing and then she walked away, she just instantly teleported away from the sinful act.
Sarah is not politically correct. She also knows Joyce.
You don’t reason with Joyce. You just do what you gotta do.
Joyce will remove herself, along with your pants, if need be.
Zmm Joyce freaked out about it when she discovered she had shoved the rabbit up her nose, while playing with it and trying to figure out what it was used for.
Much to Sarah’s chagrin when she walked in on her.
Oh gawd. Laughing so hard! Thanks Willis!
Such velocity… such moisture to stick to her face!
Trying to calibrate how angry I should be about Joyce’s opposition to Sarah fist-bumping the camel like this.
Joyce must have run down the hall to the common room and now she’s panting.
She was panted BEFORE that!
Other Jacob must have done well to make those pants stick so long. Bravo Other Jacob!
Damn you, Willis. Now you have me imagining Sarah putting on a bit of a show just to get Joyce out of the room.
… On second thoughts, perhaps I don’t hate you so much.
I’m not sure the comment from Joyce in the 4th panel was necessary. I think I’d prefer it to just show that, yes, contrary to her earlier statement, Joyce left the room eventually.
Like the Mononoke dub, which is very, very good, except for that one scene where the main character realizes his body is still being consumed by the curse, and in the original, it just shows him stare and flinch in silence, as it lets that sink in, but they felt the need to make the actor in the dub say “It’s still there”.
But it might be just because it stretches my suspension of belief a bit that she says that sentence after the fact, with no one there to hear her.
What, you don’t talk to yourself while rehashing things that happened five minutes ago?
She’s not certain that nobody is there to hear her. She can’t see whether she’s alone.
Perhaps Dina will appear. “I don’t understand THIS game. You don’t appear to be superficially mirroring the actions of others in a futile attempt at assimilation anymore, though.”
Well, say what you like, Joyce has now successfully gotten into Sarah’s pants.
+1
What does it say about Joyce that her reaction to that situation is “Huh.”?
Why do I picture their dorm room sounding like a little kid playing with a truck right now: vroom, vroom, vvrroomm, VVVRRROOOMMM!!!
As Joyce leaves, Joe show up to put a sock on the door.
for some reason im just imagining biff from back to the future walking by and going “hey butt head” and then laughing hysterically
Where did Joyce get Sarah’s pants?
On her FAAA- nah, too old
has anyone actually ever been masturbexiled??
yeah… yeah i have…
I’ve also been sexiled by people in my own bed. the second time it happened, i stumbled in drunk, got naked and jumped in bed with them and proceeded to pass out. just before passing out, i remember them running into the hall naked, freaking out. it never happened again.
… Why were they in your bed? Was this a party or something?
Sooo… did she peek?
AAAH!! WHY WON’T THE NEXT COMIC ARROW WORK???
What am I going to do for the next 4 days?
…Are we getting slipshine on this one too?
Was paging through the archives, and came across this page. What makes this page utterly priceless is that Joyce still has the pants on her head.
