        I’ve always seen “Hiroshima – 1945” win. I guess I play with a bunch of sick fucks.

        My favorite time though was putting “The New York Yankees” for “Corrupt.” All the Boston fans at the table jumped up and ran around yelling “OHHHHHH SNAAAAP.”

            There is indeed a penguin card. I know this because one person I played with was obsessed with penguins. It didn’t matter what the green card was. If you played penguin on her turn, you won no matter what.

                My favourite combo in Cards Against Humanity was “Step 1. (AIDS)
                Step 2. (Licking things to claim them as your own)
                Step 3. ????
                Step 4. Profit”
                Because in a sick way it might actually work. The judge that round didn’t like it though.

      I had to stop playing that game with my brother and his friends, because it got to the point where every other fuckin’ card was an “insta-win” card, or as they said, “trump card.” They’d say, “Oh, Batman? Trump card!” and it happened so often that I wondered why I even bothered playing the damn game, since that is the one way to play it that totally disregards whatever skill or nuance there is to be had in trying to pick a red card to match the green ones. I would even rather play it with my ex-wife’s fundamentalist parents who never picked any cards that were played ironically. God, that game is actually a good litmus test for sussing out personality disorders, as poor lovely Dinar up there is demonstrating.

        When I was a teenager, I played a few times with the family of one of my friends. It was incredibly frustrating. The worst was when I tried to make the case for the Pacific Ocean being “peaceful”, and having my friend’s mom shout over me, telling me I was wrong, while I tried to explain my reasoning. I never got a chance to make my point.

        By the way, the word “Pacific” literally means “peaceful.” The name of the ocean is “the Peaceful Ocean.” Literally. It’s been more than a decade, and that one still annoys me.

            I’d have no problem if she was being a stickler for the rules… but everyone in these games would try to make the case for their card (I haven’t played in a long time, but I’m pretty certain that’s not allowed). Her argument wasn’t that I wasn’t allowed to make my case because of the rules, her argument was that big storms exist and therefore there is never a context in which the Pacific Ocean might be considered peaceful.

            …Or maybe you’re not replying directly to me, and the world doesn’t revolve around me.

              As has no doubt been stated before, AtA is not really about being right, or stating a case about factual accuracy. It’s a social game, which means it’s about understanding the personalities of the people you’re playing with. This is, of course, why I avoid the game – I suck at interpreting people.

          My worst one was the time I tried to get “China” by for “delicate”. No one appreciated the double meaning of china but if I had been judge, I would have picked that one in a minute.

            You can thank Magellan for that. He coined the name after a rocky passage around Cape Horn. The Pacific seemed calm by comparison, to his relief.

            Now the Atlantic, that one you can blame on the Greeks. “Sea of Atlas” and all, since the titan was supposed to stand far to the west. That was way before Plato muddled things with the Atlantis stuff, including a second Atlas.

He flipped over my moms which was something like suckers and my sister which was batman i think and then mine before it even hit the table again he was laughing to hard to breath properly can declared it a winner. My sister was upset for wasting her card.

What if the only person who meets my choice with good cheer is the person whose card was chosen? What if the card I put in isn’t chosen and no one laughs when it’s read out and everyone figures out it was my card and judge me solemnly for it.

      In Apples to Apples, that means YOU ARE RIGHT and THEY ARE WRONG. Its okay to be wrong here, so long as they don’t shove your face in it. And, it can be lonely being all alone being right. But, its okay. Take comfort in your inherent rightness!

      Then you are one other person are right. When you’re picking the card, that makes you god-queen-emperor of rightness with respect to picking a card.

      re: What if the card I put in isn’t chosen and no one laughs when it’s read out and everyone figures out it was my card and judge me solemnly for it.

      Say your hand sucked. Because it probably did. If you then play a card that woulda been perfect, say you just drew it (because that ALWAYS happens argh this game).

        I think Willis said that Dina has never been diagnosed with anything, so, to me, that would preclude any sort of actual therapy.

        It sounds more like some well meaning person attempting to make Dina “express herself” in a way that they deem acceptable. They tell her there’s no wrong answer and then her answer always disappoints them. Probably because they were looking at Dina as a “problem” they could “fix” and she would be “normal.”

      Possible Twist:

      Joyce gets the guts to talk to her parents about Becky’s situation. After a lot of huffing and puffing, Becky’s father agrees to allow Becky to transfer to the college so long as Joyce personally undertakes not to allow Becky’s ‘deviancy’ to progress further. Other events lead to a ‘musical chairs’ with dorm room spaces and Becky ending up as Dina’s new roomie.

      An odder couple, a stranger friendship and a deeper sisterly bond the hall had never seen before.

      Other moves, demanded by Ruth in the aftermath of the Sal/Amber fight – Sal moves in with Joyce because Ruth both wants to punish Joyce for being the vector for all this disturbance (no matter how inadvertently) and thinks that being with Joyce would make Sal miserable. Amber moves in with Sarah (and both are quite happy to have a roomie who does not want to interact with them at all) and, officially at least, Billie is with Carla. Officially. We all know where she’s really spending the nights. Carla is more than willing to be party to this deception after Ruth presents her with a list of her misdemeanours that would otherwise find its way to administration. (“Bring me down and you come down with me, skater girl!”)

        You have that backward. Real life is most often “won” by the people who break the unstated norms most effectively. People who play strictly by the rules are generally at a huge disadvantage against those who don’t, and the more power one accrues the more deviation you can get away with. Of course, the stakes rise with the value of the pot so getting caught and called out becomes more painful in the process. Plenty of politicians will testify to that.

    I’ve been thinking about it and the best explanation I can for how this game works is: “The objective is to play two cards, the words upon which are printed combine to form a funny, unusual or otherwise abnormal combination; the winner of a given round is the one whose combination is agreed by all players to be the funniest.”

    Unfortunately, it wouldn’t help Dina who clearly has some kind of communications/social disorder and probably has a difficult or nearly impossible time understanding verbal humour (puns and the like) anyway. The concept of a phrase being inherently ‘funny’ simply by being wrong, miscommunicating or in some way implying a scatological or sexual innuendo would be confusing to her to the point of being incomprehensible.

    If I were Becky, I’d advise her not to actively play but to observe and learn from other players’ combinations how words’ meanings can sometimes shift with context and what is considered inherently ‘funny’. Draw back: Dina starts making sexual or scatological puns in everyday life, having misunderstood the game to mean that these are completely routine and acceptable.

    I’m really confused about how they’re playing this game… I’d Dina has the green card she doesn’t play a red card. Theres only one green card per round and the judge doesn’t play, just chooses a winning card from everyone else’else’s. Maybe I’m just not reading this right, but it sounds like Becky is telling Dina to pick both cards every round?

      I assume the green card on panel is the green card in play right now, and Dina grabbed it so she could get a closer look at it. Her vision is restricted the way she has the hoodie on, and the way she’s trying to avoid looking at faces.

        I think she’s the judge, actually. Dina’s “hand” is spread out right now, and I’m sure Dina’s played some kind of card game before, and so knows not to do that. Becky’s advice works just as well in either case anyway.

    Dina reminds me much of Terry Pratchett, except Pratchett did it on purpose, while Dina’s both extremely hilarious and extremely accurate social commentary is made by accident.

    On a side note, Willis has stated that this comic is greatly autobiographical, and I find myself wondering if he knew (knows) a real-life Dina, which is something I don’t know how to feel about. On the one hand, more Dina-like people can only make for a better world; on the other hand, it seems their life features a great amount of anxiety they do not deserve foisted upon them, and therefore wishing for more Dina-like people in the world makes me feel like a horrible person.

      As a very Dina-like person (autistic, which a lot of us firmly believe Dina is because OH SO MUCH RELATING,) yeah, there’s a lot of anxiety. Not being able to read other people’s social cues when they expect you to be able to for some ungodly reason plus near-constant sensory issues plus everyone you DO talk to being like “oh yeah they’re talking about *special interest* again ignore them” equals not a lot of fun.

      On the other hand: DINOSAURS! (Or in my case primarily, POKEMON!) Hyperfocusing on a specific interest is really fun, and most of our biggest problems are less inherent and more having to navigate a society that doesn’t really like us at best and at worst is actively hostile.

        If Dina is any indication, I can’t help but wonder if society at large not really liking you (as you put it) is derived from the fact that you can’t help but call out the bullshit (which is, of course, society at large’s fault for trying to impinge the bullshit upon you in the first place). From my experience dealing with proselytisers, society at large tends to get pissed off when you call them out on their bullshit. I, of course, have the advantage that I bullshit-call on purpose, whereas Dina seems to do it in the hope of educating the misguided.

        I DO wonder if my perception of Dina is coloured by the fact that I, too, am a dinosaur fan (as are all right-thinking people, of course), and if I would feel different if her subject of choice were, say, the intricacies of carpet-weaving by an obscure north-american tribe.

          My godson is on the spectrum and I always found the things that he hyperfocused on to be delightful and interesting, for the most part. His interests would shift every few years (this is not true for all folks on the autism spectrum, but was for him), so we had 3 years where all we heard about was mythical creatures (I now know a LOT about basilisks), a few years of obsessions with how ancient civilizations (primarily the Mayans and the Romans) developed, a few years of the plausibility of physics in movies. talking with him was nice for me (as someone with anxiety), as I usually knew what we would be talking about, that he would enjoy it, and I would often learn something.

          There is a lot to appreciate about neurodivergent people’s minds. I wish our culture was better set up to recognize that.

    ‘Whatever you choose is automatically the correct answer’: Misleading and unhelpful.

    If you have the cards ‘sky’ and ‘kangaroos’, and across two rounds the green cards are ‘blue’ and ‘bouncy, then whether objectively or subjectively there’s one order of card choice which is better than the other. (Unless there are in-jokes about blue kangaroos that I haven’t predicted.)

    That said, if one prefers to choose the one which sounds wrongest, then one is eventually playing a variant of the game within the game.

    If one makes a choice which is worse than the best possible choice to achieve one’s goals (whether that is winning the game or making others laugh) then the consequence is that one doesn’t progress as much towards one’s goals (winning/funnyness).

    If the game were really as simple as whichever one one chose being automatically correct, it would be exceedingly boring and provoke no thought at all.

    (That said, I have seen the choosing of a cake slice (in hopes of choosing a slice with a prize hidden inside) used to good effect in a visual novel–whichever piece is chosen the character gets the prize, but making the player make a choice helps the player empathise with the character who’s temporarily paralyzed when faced with so many pieces of cake to choose from.)

      The correct answer to that situation is, of course, to eat ALL the slices of cake, therefore ensuring you get the prize regardless of what slice it’s in.

        That reminded me we had cake at work today, but I was going to wait after I got off to get a slice, and forgot to go get it.

      I thought Dina was awarding the green card right now. The challenge was for other people to submit red cards she’s most likely to pick; whichever she actually does pick is inherently the correct answer.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

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
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.

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
