Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
If you look closely you’ll see that it’s not a person, but some sort of alien with it’s hands caught in a trap. Probably Mike’s doing. Expand the image if you don’t believe me.
Once she had chronic depression, now she doesn’t anymore,
The resident assistant of a whole girls’ dormitory floor.
A small threat in another place incurred her coworker’s spite.
The old her wants to beat them to death – but she knows that that isn’t right!
A sudden urge, for femur death!
A ruthless wrath, the need is real!
(Seriously, though, you should probably listen to the song.)
Why should Ruth care anyways? She just had a bit of fun. And she already knows that she won’t get into trouble for such a small thing. Oh no! I just lost -5 relationship points with Spencer! *plays world’s smallest violin*
Because Chidi says ethical behavior should be based on principles, not fear of consequences? Ruth should treat Spenser the way Ruth would want to be treated? If Spencer came to Ruth’s floor, bullying Sarah, Mandy, Joyce, and the rest would be wrong?
I’m not saying Ruth committed any Great Mistakes here, but she should care, if she doesn’t want to grow up to be a typical DOA adult.
Sexy lesbian emotional support pacts? Cause Ruth is making hella recovery, it seems. DYW!!
Besides: once you can inspire So much fear in people, it’s hard to give that up. It is a heady drug.
She does seem to be putting in the effort. Looks like she’s teetering, and flailing ams, but still moving ahead. I have Hopes! Hopes Which DYW will crush, I’m sure. Because “dramatic tension,” … yeah, well, I had hopes.
On the gripping hand, Spencer’s residents absolutely deserved and needed that exposure to reality.
Though I suspect that, as long as their cultish behavior doesn’t make further trouble for her, Spencer does not care, not even a tiny bit.
That’s okay. We’re just waiting around to find out what happened to Mike anyway. But while I’m waiting I now get to wonder if the one bone line is a sexual innuendo. (If it wasn’t before, it is now.)
Ruth wearing an old tee, with 97 on it.
Her convo partner named Spencer.
It is starting to sound like country western train wreck music;
Wreck of the ‘97. (See Thomas Hart Bensons’ “Wreck of the ‘97.”)
I don’t believe Ruth Was an ass, but do believe she became a manipulative controlling ass power freak because she felt so powerless against her fate when first her parents die, then she was separated from her brother (whom she tries to protect), and is continually tortured and controlled by her super horrid massive monster, Sir Master-Grand-Dad-Sir. He who seems to be Voldemort’s brother.
I don’t think that Ruth threatened anyone, Spencer. She just picked them up, Fireman Carried them to the common room and made it entirely clear that she didn’t expect them to leave without her say so.
That’s such a judgemental word to use. Let’s use “temporary extralegal involuntary enforced relocation and containment” instead! It looks so much better on the paperwork! XD
She made her opinion known, but it was unenforcable, so any could have left at their pleasure. They were restrained initially by force, but after only by projection of authority.
Spencer’s first name is never mentioned to the reader. Her age remains about 21, no matter how much time passes, or what decade a book may be set in.
Her best is named Dove, a mercenary Resident Advisor, who’s African-American. Both are former professional kickboxers, who once fought a match. When asked, both claim to have won.
Spencer is in a relationship with a boy named “Sew” Silverman, due to his family tailoring business, but is getting a psychology degree.
“or MY own femurs, even”
hey random person sitting next to that plant, i need to borrow your femurs and probably not give them back
If you look closely you’ll see that it’s not a person, but some sort of alien with it’s hands caught in a trap. Probably Mike’s doing. Expand the image if you don’t believe me.
Ruth’s FOMO for a femur fight is funny for me.
Alright then, time for an alt-text based filk!
Tune: “The Threat Is Real”, Megadeth
Once she had chronic depression, now she doesn’t anymore,
The resident assistant of a whole girls’ dormitory floor.
A small threat in another place incurred her coworker’s spite.
The old her wants to beat them to death – but she knows that that isn’t right!
A sudden urge, for femur death!
A ruthless wrath, the need is real!
(Seriously, though, you should probably listen to the song.)
Yes, but threatening them was very therapeutic.
Oh, right, consequences. Fun!
For me to read, anyways, not so much for Ruth.
Why should Ruth care anyways? She just had a bit of fun. And she already knows that she won’t get into trouble for such a small thing. Oh no! I just lost -5 relationship points with Spencer! *plays world’s smallest violin*
Because Chidi says ethical behavior should be based on principles, not fear of consequences? Ruth should treat Spenser the way Ruth would want to be treated? If Spencer came to Ruth’s floor, bullying Sarah, Mandy, Joyce, and the rest would be wrong?
I’m not saying Ruth committed any Great Mistakes here, but she should care, if she doesn’t want to grow up to be a typical DOA adult.
Now I just want a What Would Chidi Do bracelet or sticker or something
The answer is always be paralyzed with indecision.
Not always give it a few Beremy
*looks for a good drum solo in the record collection*
Wipeout played with femurs?
Der Trommler or O Baterista by Rush. Those are superb drum solos!
You could pick just about anything by Rush.
RIP Neil Peart
How about “Dem Bones” on xylophone?
Or “Them Bones”, by Alice In Chains.
Weird Al’s “Bedrock Anthem” counts, too; the music video has the drummer using bones as drumsticks.
Drum duet between Chester Thompson and Phil Collins
“Yes, but see, this time I did it for love! It’s different!”
Doo Eet!!
“Turns out I have a reputation. Who am I to deny my fans?”
Repression central, beside seeing that today’s been all over the place
That’s right. I threatened them. I didn’t break even one of them. The old me would have maimed at least half.
How is it that I recognize that Ruth and Billie are absolutely horrible for each other and yet I still ship it super hard?
You just described 99.9% of people who ship them.
Willis is exploiting our weakness for sexy lesbian suicide pacts.
Sexy lesbian emotional support pacts? Cause Ruth is making hella recovery, it seems. DYW!!
Besides: once you can inspire So much fear in people, it’s hard to give that up. It is a heady drug.
At least Billie’s trying now.
She does seem to be putting in the effort. Looks like she’s teetering, and flailing ams, but still moving ahead. I have Hopes! Hopes Which DYW will crush, I’m sure. Because “dramatic tension,” … yeah, well, I had hopes.
Is DYW short for Damn you Willis or something else?
Is it wrong that I find Ruth really hot when the’s threatening to beat people with their own femurs?
Not wrong at all. Definitely leg-it.
It’s completely wrong, but that just makes Ruth hotter.
I am proud tibia fan of angry Ruth.
Dean, I find your comment to be very humerus.
“I have a femur, and the only cure is more carpus.”
“Newman”
I am surprised any of them tattled, but I mean, I can’t say I blame them.
Tattled? They probably gushed.
They probably said it casually.
Spencer beat it out of them and they broke.
On the gripping hand, Spencer’s residents absolutely deserved and needed that exposure to reality.
Though I suspect that, as long as their cultish behavior doesn’t make further trouble for her, Spencer does not care, not even a tiny bit.
Is anyone else missing the bottom part of the strip, so that Spencer’s mouth barely makes it into frames 2, 3, & 4?
Or is it a brilliant artistic thing that I’m too un-hip to get?
Just you.
Okay then. It’s time to clear my browser cache and reload the page.
You’ll be missing some dialog bubbles as well, then.
The second lower half of the strip runs tomorrow.
As Spencer enters the elevator, the RA begins to hear a rising chant from a floor above: “Femurs! Femurs! FEMURS!”
Femurs for the Femur God, On His Throne of Bones.
One bone to rule them all, and in the darkness grind them?
Oops, Wrong webcomic.
That’s okay. We’re just waiting around to find out what happened to Mike anyway. But while I’m waiting I now get to wonder if the one bone line is a sexual innuendo. (If it wasn’t before, it is now.)
Well, it wasn’t, but as the wise have mentioned, “It Is Now.”
*ahem* HER throne.
Correction accepted.
“stop fucking with my floor” — Spencer
… With their own femurs? Kinky.
Spencer may be an ass, but she’s totally justified here in pushing back against another RA trying to run her floor.
You can’t terrorize my peasants; that’s my job.
‘So I can’t burninate them either, even a little bit?’
ra fight!!!
Now what do you have against Ra?
I hear for a sun god he ain’t too bright.
Wait, we aren’t talking about radium? That’s probably good, it’s not something I’d want anybody to hold against me…
But… he is the fun god…
Ra! Ra! Ra!
SUN god. Not FUN god. SUN.
Ruth wearing an old tee, with 97 on it.
Her convo partner named Spencer.
It is starting to sound like country western train wreck music;
Wreck of the ‘97. (See Thomas Hart Bensons’ “Wreck of the ‘97.”)
Well, that’s Billie’s shirt, she’s just borrowing it.
… Actually yeah. Still applies.
“It wasn’t the entire floor! I left the one studying alone.”
Spencer, you’re not helping.
She’s so sure she has perfect Soulvision and can see into not only peoples’ hearts, but entire potential as a human being though!
Old habits die hard.
Somehow I get the feeling Spencer and Ruth don’t like each other much.
“Oh? You’re approaching me?”
“I can’t beat you with your own femurs if I don’t come closer”
Is that a motherfuckin’ Persona 3 reference?
Unsure if joking, but pretty sure it’s a JoJo.
And now I have squeaky Dio in my head again.
Alright, which one of you bongos posted the QC link a while back? I finally got caught up on the whole thing, and I need to know who to thank.
I want to know how you didn’t know about QC already.
Turns out Ruth wasn’t an asshole because she had depression, she was just an asshole with depression. Who knew?
Everyone. Everyone knew.
I don’t believe Ruth Was an ass, but do believe she became a manipulative controlling ass power freak because she felt so powerless against her fate when first her parents die, then she was separated from her brother (whom she tries to protect), and is continually tortured and controlled by her super horrid massive monster, Sir Master-Grand-Dad-Sir. He who seems to be Voldemort’s brother.
Or you know, a week or so in therapy and on meds doesn’t fix all your issues.
Yeah I figured Spencer would take umbrage with Ruth being Ruth in her territory.
Perhaps she didn’t make it clear it was her territory, maybe she should pee on the wall beside the elevator.
I am pleased that Ruth is still a femur stealer with or without depression.
Once you turn to the femur side, forever will it dominate your destiny.
I don’t think that Ruth threatened anyone, Spencer. She just picked them up, Fireman Carried them to the common room and made it entirely clear that she didn’t expect them to leave without her say so.
So, literal kidnapping them?
That’s such a judgemental word to use. Let’s use “temporary extralegal involuntary enforced relocation and containment” instead! It looks so much better on the paperwork! XD
That’s ridiculous. None of them were kids.
And I thought college students like naps?
She made her opinion known, but it was unenforcable, so any could have left at their pleasure. They were restrained initially by force, but after only by projection of authority.
I mean, she DID forcibly carry them in there and then stand in the doorway so they couldn’t leave.
Go Spencer! She has to respect you!
Oh! This is the big rule Willis broke! Thought bubbles! Mike is confirmed alive, everyone!
We’ve had thought bubbles before, at least as far back as Walking With Dina five years ago: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/04-walking-with-dina/walkingwithdina/
That was also mentioned as a special exception, so this is still rule breaking.
I am once again asking when we’re gonna learn what happened to Mike’s femurs.
Look, sometimes there are lapses NOBODY’S PERFECT
I mean Amber just utilized her anxiety over her subconscious knowledge of her friend Mike’s possible death to get banged
Big shout out thank you to those who shared the “Machete” pattern of the StarsWars saga.
I was unfamilar with it and doing further research on it introduced me to a new writer, so thank you!
As with Beverly, I wonder if Spencer is her first name or her last name. Spencer isn’t usually a woman’s name, but it’s not impossible…
Her first name is Carly, but since DoA already has a Carla, she goes by her surname here.
https://walkypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Carly_Spencer
I know one female Spencer and two male Spencers. Mind, my experience is far from universal, but Spencer is picking up as a female name.
Spencer’s first name is never mentioned to the reader. Her age remains about 21, no matter how much time passes, or what decade a book may be set in.
Her best is named Dove, a mercenary Resident Advisor, who’s African-American. Both are former professional kickboxers, who once fought a match. When asked, both claim to have won.
Spencer is in a relationship with a boy named “Sew” Silverman, due to his family tailoring business, but is getting a psychology degree.
i get that feeling of being stuck no matter how much you try to change.
