summer birthdays in a country with a stupid agrarian school calendar generally meant I didn’t see any of my friends on mine =( and adult birthdays are kinda bullshit
I was never a birthday fan. If you didn’t get a day off school for it, it wasn’t an important occasion.
I guess I’d single out my tenth as pretty awesome, though. Got both the original Star War trilogy on VHS and my first ever Weird Al tapes. You don’t forget formative experiences like that! ^_^
Where I grew up, you didn’t get the day off, but the class celebrated it. My birthday is mid-June, so I never got that. Once I turned 21, I pretty much stopped thinking of or even anticipating them. All they do now is remind me that I’m an old fart.
Mine is almost near the end of the summer, so as a kid it would have been maybe a few of the kids in the neighbourhood that were back from vacation early.
As an adult it was just too depressing until I started celebrating at GenCon. Which was all well and good until it moved to Indianapolis and housing was impossible to get. sigh
I know what you mean by conveyor sushi, however my initial mental picture when I read that, was a conveyor aimed at your face, with sushi being belt fed into your mouth.
I liked the one where I turned maybe 15 and all my internet friends build random things on roblox with me the whole day. It was nice to feel the loves!
I’d have preferred not having to go into school on mine because I was lacking in the friends department and later on it fell into exams season and a couple of times I had an exam on my birthday. (This year’s is probably my favourite even if I couldn’t eat the cake)
Mine was similar, my childhood birthdays were ok, however in university, they fell at the mid to tail end of final exams, so me and all my friends would be frantically studying, and later, when exams were done and we could celebrate, everyone was either already moved out of residence for the summer or in the middle of packing, so for 5 years I didn’t really get to celebrate my birthday with friends or family.
My birthday is in the first half of July, so I started making the rule that, if at all possible, I take my birthday off. My last two jobs worked me on my birthday three years in a row.
[Napstablook voice:]
* human….
* i’ll never forget when you cheered me on
* when i was pretending to sleep…
* no one had ever had so much faith in my fake sleep….
On the bright side, we can say with a reasonably amount of certainty that pretty much every single molecule of water has been pee at some point or another.
I don’t find it plausible that Becky was fooled by the fake sitcom snores, so I’m thinking that she was kind enough and perceptive enough to take a hint!
I’ve faked being asleep to avoid having to deal with people before, but I’ve never just spoke the words “snore snore” to make people think I was asleep. Kinda surprised Becky fell for that.
Communication in comics is composed of two parts, a bubble and a tail.
A standard circular bubble indicates normal speech, a dashed bubble indicates whispers, a jagged one indicates shouting, and cloudy bubbles indicate inner thoughts.
For tails, a straight line indicates normal speech, a line of bubbles indicates thoughts, and a squiggly line indicates non-speech sounds.
There are also two variants to the squiggly line, for alternative meanings:
The first has the squiggly line also accompanied by a squiggly bubble, and indicates that the speech is unclear (such as due to the speaker being weak) and thus more sound-like than speech-like. The second has the squiggly line with sharp edges [like a lightning bolt symbol], indicating that it’s both speech and sound [as by way of a robotic voice].
In short, assuming Willis (with his decades of experience at comic writing) is going by the standard formatting, we can determine that Sarah is actually mimicking the sounds, rather than vocalizing the onomatopoeic term.
I think my favorite birthday was because of the roller coaster of emotions. I thought my family had forgotten (a legit fear seriously my family including my mom forgets my birthday a lot) because my dad took me with him to do yardwork at my Nana’s house. Then he sprayed me down with a hose and wouldn’t let me ride in the car instead I had to walk home with him following me in the car.
Really it wasn’t that far but at that age it felt like forever. When I got home though my Nana had beaten us there and all of my family was there yelling surprise. It was awesome.
I am considering buying some of the DoA books, but I have two questions about them.
1) Are there still ebooks of books 7 and 8? Comixology only has digital versions of books 1-6, while Hivemill only has books 1 and 2. Is there any place I can buy the more recent ebooks, or are my only options buying the print book or waiting for the next Kickstarter?
2)Do the bonus strips in the books have a lot of nudity in them? I’m probably in the minority, but I really dislike seeing nudity in comics (and other visual media). I don’t mind it on rare occasions, but if it happens a lot then it detracts from my enjoyment of the comic. I understand that some people like seeing it (hence why people pay for Slipshine), but I don’t, and I sort of want to know what I’m getting before buying the DoA books and/or ebooks.
Okay, I know it’s the panels switch, and her face is buried in her pillow, but because her pillowcase and blanket are the same colour, it looks a little like she’s burying her face in her own recursive uh… lower body in the middle panels.

kinda wish I had a fave birthday

As an adult it was just too depressing until I started celebrating at GenCon. Which was all well and good until it moved to Indianapolis and housing was impossible to get. sigh
My birthday is over the summer and I’ve had so many great ones I don’t think I could pick out just one.
I tend to think that if adult birthdays are bullshit that you’re doing them wrong.
My adult birthdays have been one of
A. Work (and hope nobody makes an obnoxious scene, bc already behind on work bc I don’t have a cool job that gives me the day off) or
B. Weekend as per usual but we go out for conveyor sushi
Otherwise nothing particularly different from not-birthdays
Also our birthday “celebrations” on the day of are the equivalent of asking a left-handed person, “Are you left-handed??
”
(besides the group spamming WhatsApp with the same trite bday wishes and stolen-fron-online sparkle GIFs)
I know what you mean by conveyor sushi, however my initial mental picture when I read that, was a conveyor aimed at your face, with sushi being belt fed into your mouth.
basically tho?? THAT would be BEST BIRTHDAY
I think my favorite birthday was 1993, because my college got me an Internet connection for it.
I had the opposite problem; my birthday falls in the school year, but I had no friends. :\
I liked the one where I turned maybe 15 and all my internet friends build random things on roblox with me the whole day. It was nice to feel the loves!

Every so often my birthday falls on Easter. These days, they all blur together, even the “big” ones with an 0 on the end.
My birthday is in the first half of July, so I started making the rule that, if at all possible, I take my birthday off. My last two jobs worked me on my birthday three years in a row.
Sarah is me. I love. <3333
She’s just saying the word snore repeatedly in a monotone, right?
Nothing can convince me otherwise.
[Napstablook voice:]
* human….
* i’ll never forget when you cheered me on
* when i was pretending to sleep…
* no one had ever had so much faith in my fake sleep….
“Zee zee zee zee zee zee.”
Yeah, I wasn’t very good at fake-snoring at her age, too. It takes experience to fake the ‘Z’.
Congestion helps in that regard.
what is that on Sarah’s face
a smile. I know, we’re not used to this.
Pretty sure that’s just her nose. No cause for alarm.
No, it’s a smile in the last panel. I’m not sure what to think of it, we’re in uncharted waters now.
Snore snore snore
i have done this before
Darling I know
I am just a head on your pillow…
Extra sleep? One of the best birthday gifts ever.
Being about to sleep in until 6am is a pleasant surprise.
Appropriate gravatar is incredibly appropriate today.
I like to imagine that Sarah is saying snore and not actually snoring
The best birthdays for me involve pizza and smash bros with my friends.
Becky is exceptionally good at reading situations sometimes.
She and Joyce are both trying to get better at it, they’re just taking different paths to that same goal, feels like.
I thought she was faking until I noticed the lighting change. I’m glad, it felt much more wholesome.
Unless someone switched the lights off as they left.
ahhh dangit.
Glad Sarah got some shut-eye, but I do hope she ultimately is down for celebrating her birthday with the rest later.
Outta the pool, before someone pisses in it!
It’s too late for that.
On the bright side, we can say with a reasonably amount of certainty that pretty much every single molecule of water has been pee at some point or another.
Especially dinosaur pee.
This is so sweet. Just friends letting friends sleep. :’)
What’s the point of having a bed if not to sleep in?
Subtle. I like it.
*Joyce sneaks back in*
“MY TURN!!!!!”
I hope not doing the typical Cheerful Joyce things to Sarah is the birthday gift.
Uh oh, I fear Sarah jinxed it.
Dunno if snoring works face down.
I think chronologically Sarah is technically Birthday Girl #1.
Considering Dina’s value in Becky’s eyes, Dina would always be Birthday Girl #1
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
‘Cause when the lights have lost their glow, you’ll cry, cry, cry.
You all think I’m just another bore bore bore.
And when you come to my birthday bash you’ll snore snore snore.
Becky your professional charisma is failing! Fix your tie so yiu can negate the penalties for sloppy appearance!
She hasn’t got Leslie around to fix it. Jakes could do it though.
All while Joyce takes notes and starts wearing them with her sweatervests
I don’t find it plausible that Becky was fooled by the fake sitcom snores, so I’m thinking that she was kind enough and perceptive enough to take a hint!
I’ve faked being asleep to avoid having to deal with people before, but I’ve never just spoke the words “snore snore” to make people think I was asleep. Kinda surprised Becky fell for that.
Or she got the hint. Becky’s more perceptive than she lets on.
Becky absolutely got the hint and respected it.
Similar to when she decided not to kick the alibi of “Reginald, Duke of Thingley” when he was down.

*Communication imagery in comics
Literally just saying “snore” quietly.
Exactly. Fortunately, Joyce is sufficiently prone to mix up cartoons and reality that she doesn’t realise this is a red flag.
Exactly how I was imagining it!
Can I just say that Sarah is adorable in that last panel. It melts my heart.
I think my favorite birthday was because of the roller coaster of emotions. I thought my family had forgotten (a legit fear seriously my family including my mom forgets my birthday a lot) because my dad took me with him to do yardwork at my Nana’s house. Then he sprayed me down with a hose and wouldn’t let me ride in the car instead I had to walk home with him following me in the car.

We stan a sleepy queen
As an introvert in person, I relate to Sarah so incredibly hard in these past couple strips.
I am considering buying some of the DoA books, but I have two questions about them.
1) Are there still ebooks of books 7 and 8? Comixology only has digital versions of books 1-6, while Hivemill only has books 1 and 2. Is there any place I can buy the more recent ebooks, or are my only options buying the print book or waiting for the next Kickstarter?

I understand that some people like seeing it (hence why people pay for Slipshine), but I don’t, and I sort of want to know what I’m getting before buying the DoA books and/or ebooks.
Ebook of 7 is still pending approval.
Ebook of 8 isn’t submitted yet, because I haven’t sent it out to Kickstarter folks yet.
There is no nudity in the bonus strips. They’re the same content rating as everything on the main website.
Thanks for the answer. I’ll make sure to pick up books 7 and 8 when they are out.
This is the best comic that’s been posted on my birthday so far at least! Or at least the most topical.
Okay, I know it’s the panels switch, and her face is buried in her pillow, but because her pillowcase and blanket are the same colour, it looks a little like she’s burying her face in her own recursive uh… lower body in the middle panels.
She’s thinking with Portals!
