        This system uses and (no spaces) for italics. (the slash ends it. If it shows up in this comment, use the other one; I often forget which to use)

          Crud, it interpreted it.
          Okay, I’m going to run a quick test to see how this system will interpret things.
          a a b b
          If the second a is normal in the above statement, the correct end slash is /. If not, then you use \.

          IF this shows up right, then the correct combination will be the above, but without underscores or hashtags, both of which I added to avoid doing exactly what my last comment did.

                  They’re called entities. They all start with “&” and end with “;” (you forgot the “;”, Rachel). In between is the mnemonic: amp for “ampersand”, lt for “less than”, gt for “greater than”, etc. etc.

      The Bandit is simply showing off their skills as an interior DICKerator. That amount of detail must have taken a LONG time. The GIRTH of their knowledge must have been a BIG help. They did a good job though. I bet this hallway will be the CLIMAX of their career. They are so humble that they wanted to be anonymous though. Wouldn’t want the fame to go to their HEAD and make them COCKy.

      I’m so sorry.

    So no one else thinks it’s a little odd that each wang was drawn differently? Yes, they’re all facing the same way, but each one is different, from what I recall. Your ‘average’ vandal might have just drawn the same dong on each door, especially if they were pressed for time and worried they might get caught.

    Am I overthinking this? Do I need to cut down on the caffeine?

      No, I totally thought about that too. Maybe they wanted it to look like it was more than one person? But it doesn’t seem to have accomplished that at all. Maybe it WAS more than one person. But that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. What the heck kind of group of people would bother to do that all in the same night?

      It’s how I would have done it.
      If you’re not doing it to troll or insult, but just to be mischievous, you tend to have a bit of fun with it.

      I’m surprised none of them were overly exaggerated in any way.

      Like, ‘here’s a big, strangely curvy one’ and ‘here’s an itty bitty one’.

      I, er.
      I’m not saying I’m the whiteboard dingdong bandit or anything, though.

    I’ll admit I haven’t read the comments sections for this entire storyline, but has anyone actually told Willis that permanent marker on a dry/wet erase board is EASY AS HELL to remove?

    All you do is get the correct dry/wet erase marker, scribble heavily over the permanent marker and then remove it as normal for the correct kind of marker.

    I’d imagine SOMEONE in the DoA universe would have the sense to google that on their phone.

      Nagash1959, clearly you never read the comments of past comics, for example: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/permanent/

      You say “it’s super easy to google how to do it,” I say “it’s super easy to find out it’s been commented on every thirty seconds for the past month or so.” And yet!

        Law of Unintended Consequences, DW. You created “The Whiteboard Ding-dong Bandit” meme. Along with that meme comes this one, like a remora clinging to your Frankenstein shark.

        Have a nice day. 🙂

      The comic is called Dumbing of Age, so it’s appropriate IMO that none of it’s characters know such a simple fact or have trouble using Google.

        You’d be surprised at the number of people inclined to draw dicks who have no idea how to draw dicks. Actually had a co-worker ask me to draw what he called “cock-an-balls” on a card for someone he didn’t like. Married father of two in his late thirties and the card was for a departing lady co-worker in her twenties. Some people never grow up. I told him to draw his own damn cock-an-balls and have the guts to sign it. You would be correct in assuming he did not follow through.
        Visits to a urologist have recently became part of my life. The medical illustrations on the wall of his exam room are … amazing in the level of detail and disturbing, because viewing (and producing, I imagine) them require you to imagine a penis wedge-sliced like they used to do the buns at Subway.
        On a non-dick note, I wonder if Amazi-Girl overheard Sarah talking to Jacob about being fair to Joyce, resulting the kinder, gentler, interrogation 2.0 with added plea to empathy. Only Willis knows for sure, I guess.

      I don’t think so either.  I believe he was a one-off, like one of the soldiers who passed through the ER/Post-Op ward in M*A*S*H.  They were necessary to that particular story line and never resurfaced again.

      Besides, how would he know where to find Joyce?  They didn’t converse all that much, and other than her name I don’t recall Joyce giving him any really pertinent information.

      There should be an extra panel that cuts away to Joyce getting back to her room and See’s the door again and whimpers as she looks at a picture of a real life existing penis on her white borde ( censored in blurted out form of course)

    To get rid of permanent marker on a white board is scribble all over it with a dry – erase marker, then use a normal white board eraser or damp paper towel to erase it.

    More evidence pointing towards Anti-Joyce as the WDDB. The most detailed penis was on her door? Joyce had the strongest reaction to it, demanding justice? Repression leads to compartmentalization, which can lead to fragmentation.

      After Amazi-Girl’s use of THREAT was effectively countered by Sarah’s SHIELD OF DISDAIN, using AG’s ATD was a pretty brilliant judo reversal move given the GUILT backlash that can accompany SOD (and clearly did in this case).

      Sure it could have backfired if Sarah had countered with CLOAK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS instead of SOD, but Sarah’s COR is nearly useless these days, especially after she started rooming with Joyce.

    For some reason I think it’d be endlessly cool (and entertaining) to know someone who would stick to that hero bit so hard they could seriously, without a single hint of irony, say the phrase “cry out for justice”. Just use it in a sentence as if they asked you to pass them a napkin. That’s really something.

      I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
      And my penis was missing again
      This happens all the time
      It’s detachable
      This comes in handy a lot of the time
      I can leave it home when it think it’s gonna get me in trouble
      Or, I can rent it out when I don’t need it
      But now and then I go to a party
      Get drunk
      And the next morning, I can’t, for the life of me
      Remember what I did with it
