    “PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE STAIN BEHIND THE CURTAINMY ARM”

      You know, it took me until reading the comments to realize that’s what he was doing. I thought he was wiping off his hand and the smudge on his face so that he could do a cool thinker pose… for some odd Walky-based reason. Hiding the stain on his hoodie makes far more sense – and is also way less interesting than the strange things I was thinking. Ah well.

      I didn’t see the previous strip and the last one I remember was Dorothy debating taking a shower, so until the comments I thought he instinctively went to cover his nose then decided to be more polite and bear it.

    Just Walky’s luck. If they had run into each other ten minutes earlier she wouldn’t have showered, and they could laugh about both of them being slobs. Now he’s the slob and she’s a friggin’ shampoo commercial. Life just isn’t fair.

    See, Dorothy, if you’d just foregone (F-WORD!) that shower, you wouldn’t be awkwardly intimidating Walky by comparison in a manner that is silently and subconsciously sabotaging your paused relationship.

    … actually you don’t see, because Walky’s smooth gesture is flawlessly hiding his stain of shame.

    so I’ve been away from the comments for a while, and I’ve got a question.

    I poke my head in every once in a while, and recently I’ve been wondering where Cerberus is.

        Reltzik
        February 26, 2018 at 1:00 am | #

        And I keep wondering whether the better approach there is to reassure her that she’s awesome, or go the “nobody’s perfect and that’s okay” low-pressure route. (Both are true, of course.)

          February 26, 2018 at 1:42 am | #

          I think spaz’s comment came out really well 🙂

          Of course, part of the problem is that JerkBrain isn’t exactly a good listener :p the part of Cerberus talking to us might know everything we say is true but still have to deal with JerkBrain yelling at her anyways. :/ But reassurance does sometimes make *me* feel better when my own JerkBrain is acting up 🙂

          Seriously, Cerberus, you not only helped people grasp underlying themed and issues and history behind the strips (like the question of “is it okay to out the closeted politician who is making laws against LGBTs”), but you also helped people who happened to have problems and came here to vent. I was one of those people. I hope this comment will reach you somehow.

          the presence of Cerberus in no way proves or disproves my reality. It is, for me, just that the comments by Cerberus provide external confirmation that local ground -which appears to be zero volts, Is at zero volts. …sort of an impartial external reality bench reference. Not needed for the test, but is just gentle reassurance that 110 volt political reality has not drifted off to 105 or 115, without my noticing.

    It’s a sign of how good Dorothy is for Walky is that he is immediately ashamed of pigging out when he realises that she knows about it. It’s a sign of how good Walky is for Dorothy that running into him (literally) immediately makes her feel better.

        Walky: Close enough! You have more religious knowledge than anyone I know!
        *Mary tries to barge in, but Rachel and Other Rachel tackle her, gag her, and drag her off before she can interrupt*
        Joyce: O-okay, fine, let’s do this! Dorothy, do you take this smelly doofus to be your husband, to have and to hold, in stinkiness and in poverty, for as long as you can tolerate him, which hopefully won’t be forever?
        Dorothy: As long as I can still go to Yale, yes!
        Joyce: Walky, do you promise to take this angel of womanhood to be your wife, even though she’s WAAY too good for you, and treat her like a queen until the day she discards you?
        Walky: Um… *BURP* Yeah, okay, sure?
        Joyce: Fine, then, you’re married, and I’M NOT JEALOUS AT ALL!! *sob*
        *runs into her room and slams the door*

    Honestly, in Walky’s place I wouldn’t have noticed the stain until ten minutes after Dorothy left.

      Walky is hyper-aware of how out of his league Dorothy is (at least in his own mind), so it makes sense that he’d notice these things.

      I’m somewhat sure he already knew of their existence since they’re the sains of the mcnuggets he ate the day before. He just didn’t care, and told people he didn’t care because “woot temporary freedom, I can be a pig”.

    Walky wears the symbols of his “empire of dirt’. It’s the coat of arms of the Duke of Thingly. And it coats his arms. and face. and hoodie.

    In panel 6, Walky temporarily borrows his twin’s sultry-eye expression, a form of body-telepathy occasionally practiced by the bi-bodied.

    –Dave, he knows when she’s been sleeping, he knows when she’s awake … okay, maybe not

    Panel 4 Dorothy is just so cute. Love today’s strip even if it’s missing the final panel where she pretends to be taken in.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.
theradr.bsky.social's user avatarRabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social ⋅ 21d
If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

Gwen Snyder is uncivil @gwensnyder.bsky.social ⋅ 2d
I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.
gwensnyder.bsky.social's user avatarGwen Snyder is uncivil @gwensnyder.bsky.social ⋅ 2d
It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

Right now, these sweet kids have no clue how impactful this period in history will be for them, but I hope they will be proud of the time they made the best protest sign ever: The green one that says “Trump eats boogers” #NoKings
Kids and adults standing on a pedestrian bridge over the highway with protest signs that say fascists out and no Trump no ice. The best one is green and says Trump eats boogers.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings

At Comic-Con 2009 I was getting misgendered a fair bit and feeling anxious AF about it. Robert Downey Jr. was doing a press conf for Sherlock Holmes. I wanted to shout out a question but hated drawing attn to myself. I did it anyway. He gestured at me: "the lady in the blue shirt." I was so happy.
