Ummm… I’m pretty certain if you see a penis that has bloody eyes its owner should take it to the vet doctor… Penises (penii?) don’t generally have any eyes.
You definitely shouldn’t let it inside you. Catching ebola DTD-style would be a really awkward story to have to explain to people…
Even though Ruth’s condition has improved and she has happiness within her arms (Billie), her depression will always be hanging over her shoulder, a symbol of misery and hopelessness, just like a Leafs logo.
I’m starting to think that Bi Visibility Day picture with these two and Danny was a hint at something. What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into this?
On Saturday’s strip, I was getting ads warning me not to risk pirating Brazilian television, but to sign up with their authorized providers instead. (At least I think that’s what it said. I don’t actually speak Portuguese.)
Pfft. I have heard this conversation so many times, even participated in a few. There’s something that’s really funny about getting to use “that’s gay” when you’re LGBT+.
True story: my mum discovered that my uncle and his long-term partner were gay rather than just very good friends who had a flat together, holidayed together, etc, when they announced they were getting married… The rest of us had figured it out a good decade or so earlier but kinda figured they’d tell us if, when and how they wanted to, no big deal.
My mum also only realised that me and the now-husband had sexy times together about 3 years into us sharing a one-bed flat, mind… Yet she assumed my baby sister was sleeping around when she was about 15 because she wears make-up. But also complains that I should wear make-up more often…
My mum means well but sometimes her logic and other people’s logic really do not align. At all. On any plane that mathematicians, quantum mechanics or other physicists have yet to hypothesise.
I dunno if Billie will hold up her end of this relationship, and aside from that they could break up and go their separate ways for any number of reasons, but I’d say Ruth is growing from the experience. I’ll give Billie credit for trying and paying a down payment.
im a comfortable middle aged cis het dude, so i must just be virtue signalling, but i would be a touch annoyed at someone discussing in apparent sincerity who is more or less het than i am. having the grading rubric explained to me wouldn’t help.
It’s in character for someone like Billie to react to the embarrassment of Ruth’s admission with a bit of snark. In any case, I’m sure that she’ll come up with a better and more nuanced response when she doesn’t feel like death that’s been reheated from frozen.
As a person struggling with depression since childhood I have to say, that taking care of someone (even if it is “just” the cat) is very uplifting and fulfilling.
That does sound nice. I’ve always wanted a cat, but if I can’t take care of myself, I doubt I could take care of an animal, so that’s something for a vague “later”.
Cats are pretty good companions, though.
So I finally got around to subscribing to Slipshine so I could read the Mike/Ethan smut and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Mostly just weird. It was weird to see the characters in a sexual situation
No, wait, I get it now. Billie is using “gay” in its original meaning, she is remarking on the uncanniness of Ruth, depressed and in a suicide pact relationship, being HAPPY.
Honestly, Ruth’s perspective here makes for a pretty good lesson that I could probably do well to incorporate into my own thoughts and my own life. She really is correct, about how it is to really love someone, and I do feel that way too when it comes to those who are important to me…so, maybe, it’s not such a stretch that other people might feel the same way in return.

“oh no, wouldn’t want to go around being GAY in front of my same-sex girlfriend now”
“I’m shocked — SHOCKED — to find out that gaying is going on in here!”
The comic is, in hindsight, called Gaying of Age. It’s right there in the banner and URL. Maybe we’ve all been slightly silly.
Silly? Looks like a job for The Colonel!
All thrusters are go. Launch engines, set up! Secondary engines, OK! Gay levels, 35%!
Flight is go!
And if you get that reference, you’re just as colossal a nerd as I am.
All systems are F.A.B.
I am going to guess Thunderbirds? Maybe Thunderball XL5.
Argh, Fireball XL5.
You’re vaguely on the right track, but the “35%” thing is actually ghee key to the entire reference.
“Liberace” Gay.
I guess we cut away for the horfing.
I can live without having seen that, unless my imagination supplies me with nightmares about that act now.
Or unless that’s going to end up on Slipshine.
I won’t kinkshame, but only say that that is not the strip which will get my to buy Slipshine.
It’s somebody’s fetish, guaranteed.
(The internet has Rules, after all.)
Emetophilia…it’s a surprisingly common thing.
“Wait a second, we’re both girls aren’t we?”
“I don’t remember any penises when we were having sex, but I think we were both still drinking at the time so it’s possible they went unnoticed.”
>discussion about how some girls have penises
Granted, it wouldn’t have been conclusive either way.
Link to today’s relevant and funny Assigned Male
(SFW, she even spells it d**k)
“Though there was an odd glowy penis when I was telling the story of us getting it on to some people. Now I’m confused.”
It wasn’t glowy, don’t tell fibs. It was hyper-realistic with bloody eyes.
Ummm… I’m pretty certain if you see a penis that has bloody eyes its owner should take it to the
vetdoctor… Penises (penii?) don’t generally have any eyes.You definitely shouldn’t let it inside you. Catching ebola DTD-style would be a really awkward story to have to explain to people…
STD-style. STOP THAT, AUTOCORRECT!!! (It tried to do it a second time)
DTD? Door To Darkness. Ansem’s computer system.
Ruth’s hypothetical Kingdom Hearts creepypasta dick is her own business.
Bravo, Delicious Taffy.
The phrase “Ruth’s hypothetical Kingdon Hearts creepypasta dick” broke me.
This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten somebody here with a description of a character’s pingas, and it won’t be the last.
‘lads is it gay to be gay’
It’s only gay while the sun is up. Sorta like daytime drinking.
Dumbing of Age Sounds Pretty Gay: The Tenth Volume
Ah, perfect storytelling through visual metaphor.
Even though Ruth’s condition has improved and she has happiness within her arms (Billie), her depression will always be hanging over her shoulder, a symbol of misery and hopelessness, just like a Leafs logo.
Bravo, Willis!
Mmm.
I’m starting to think that Bi Visibility Day picture with these two and Danny was a hint at something. What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into this?
I dunno, these characters are usually pretty forthright about that sort of thing.
they are pretty visible rn, not quite clear about the other stuff
Tell her that next time your mood zigzags
doa book 10: “that sounds pretty gay”
I’d rate that a gay out of gay. Full marks, Billie! Well-spotted.
You’re only rating it a Gay/Gay? I’d have thought you’d give it at least a Gay.Gay/Gay, to be honest.
Wait a minute, these two are queer!?!? Well, I’m incredibly surprised. There were no indications or hints, even on Slipshine.
I believe Billie has stated she isn’t queer and we have to respect that.
Everybody gets curious. That’s perfectly normal.
Perfectly normal.
The beautiful thing is, this IS normal! :3
Billie is starting to think about considering the possibility that she might be bi.
Nah, she just likes girls sometimes. Like everybody does. She’s normal.
Seriously though, you’re right. She is starting to consider it. Kind of a big breakthrough for her.
As someone who has to remind myself to smile in social situations, it will take me time to process this new, happy, more content Ruth.
Now there’s something you don’t see every day, Chauncey —
sweet gay moments
Today’s strip is brought to you by multiple auto dealerships in UTAH. Why there?–I have no idea.
On Saturday’s strip, I was getting ads warning me not to risk pirating Brazilian television, but to sign up with their authorized providers instead. (At least I think that’s what it said. I don’t actually speak Portuguese.)
“Sweetie, I love you and will always be your mate. No homo.”
Pfft. I have heard this conversation so many times, even participated in a few. There’s something that’s really funny about getting to use “that’s gay” when you’re LGBT+.
“I am happy to.”
Hey, is anyone starting to think that these two might be like… really good friends? Like best friends even?
gals bein pals
Gals bein’ BEST pals.
True story: my mum discovered that my uncle and his long-term partner were gay rather than just very good friends who had a flat together, holidayed together, etc, when they announced they were getting married… The rest of us had figured it out a good decade or so earlier but kinda figured they’d tell us if, when and how they wanted to, no big deal.

Wait, if this webcomic is turning gay, I’m out of here!
For real, it’s never been like this before.
You’re out of here?
….
…. define “out”.
touché
I can promise this website is not turning gay.
There is no “turning” involved
awwww <3
btw- love the green tinge in billie's face lol
I dunno if Billie will hold up her end of this relationship, and aside from that they could break up and go their separate ways for any number of reasons, but I’d say Ruth is growing from the experience. I’ll give Billie credit for trying and paying a down payment.
“I’ll take care of you.”
“It’s rotten work.”
“Not to me. Not if it’s you.”
adorable… terrifying… adorafying…
Seems like the pendulum has svung back to the “adorable” part.
Still not as gay as, “Hey, guess what? I’m a lesbian!”
I don’t know, I think Billie and Ruth being in a lesbian relationship is at least a little more gay than that.
There’s no one more gay than a fresh-out-of-the-smoldering-ruins-of-the-closet gay. Because Everyone Must Know! Twice!
Given that Becky is 24 or 25 on a 6 point scale, she’s not only more gay than 2 bi women, but also than 2 normal lesbians.
im a comfortable middle aged cis het dude, so i must just be virtue signalling, but i would be a touch annoyed at someone discussing in apparent sincerity who is more or less het than i am. having the grading rubric explained to me wouldn’t help.
No worries, there’s a bright side. Much like The Game, you can’t lose if you simply don’t participate.

IT’S ROTTEN WORK NOT TO ME NOT IF IT’S YOU
It’s in character for someone like Billie to react to the embarrassment of Ruth’s admission with a bit of snark. In any case, I’m sure that she’ll come up with a better and more nuanced response when she doesn’t feel like death that’s been reheated from frozen.

Cats are pretty good companions, though.
Hooray for growth as a person!!!
Well, considering the original definition of “gay”, Billie’s not wrong.
Oh man, my sister and her wife call each other’s more sappy declarations of love “gay” all the time. It’s just as funny here as it is there.
WOW REALLY? I NEVER NOTICED, THANK YOU BILLIE FOR POINTING IT OUT
She was bound to notice sooner or later.
So I finally got around to subscribing to Slipshine so I could read the Mike/Ethan smut and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Mostly just weird. It was weird to see the characters in a sexual situation
Wait til you get to Malaya’s. You’re gonna need T-Dub to show you what’s up and what’s not up.
Gayness? In THIS relationship?!
It’s more likely than you think!
I’m not sure but I believe that ‘gay’ has recently become a slang term for ‘sentimental’ in the sugary-sweet way.
I love when these two are the sweetest things possible. They have gone through so many difficulties and are still able to stay together. Awwwwww…..
Whoah whoah whoah, what’s this? HEALTHY relationshippery!?
I was there, Willis. I was there 3 in-universe weeks ago.
No, wait, I get it now. Billie is using “gay” in its original meaning, she is remarking on the uncanniness of Ruth, depressed and in a suicide pact relationship, being HAPPY.
Ewwww.
If only two sentences could be used for one book title.
DoA Book 10: “That sounds pretty gay.” “Oh, so you finally noticed.”
“I’ll take care of you”
“It’s rotten work”
“Not to me. Not if it’s you”
D’awwwwwwww
Honestly, Ruth’s perspective here makes for a pretty good lesson that I could probably do well to incorporate into my own thoughts and my own life. She really is correct, about how it is to really love someone, and I do feel that way too when it comes to those who are important to me…so, maybe, it’s not such a stretch that other people might feel the same way in return.
from my experience; the gayer something sounds, the better it turns out to be.
